10000, appropriated only $15,OOO.Ooo,
and added:
THAT. incidentally, is something
which is a new practice which has
grown up in Washington. 1t was in
vented in the interest of economy. It's
undoubted purpose is to lead some
people to think that they are going to
get something"
The Democratic platform, he assert
ed. hits the nail Squarely on the head
because 1t not only declares for the
plan and the comprehensive survey but
Tor the appropriation to make it ef-
fective." It also looks toward develop
ment of the northern part of the river,
something he said the flood control bill
adopted fails to provide for.
Galleries Boo.
Loud booing came from the galleries
when Smith mentioned an article in
the st. Paul Dispatch, a Republican
paper, which advised him not to dis
cuss inland waterway development here
for fear the matter of the ST. Law
renee waterway might give him some
embarrassment"
Nothing embarrasses me-" shouted
the nominee, to cheers, and then
added:
ct do not see anything in the Re-
publican platforms of 1924 or 1923
about the st. Lawrence waterway. /
read very carefully Mr.. Hoover's speech
OF acceptance. He does not say any,
thing about the st. Lawrence water
way. 1 am afraid that is where the
embarrassment is"
Declaring that in spite of his state
ment in his acceptance speech that
while he had favored the all-American
route from the Lakes to the sea. he
would abide by Congress decision in
the matter after a re-Study of the
question, whispering agents of the Re-
publican national committee are
around whispering in a persons ear
keep him off; he will be for the New
York route
incidentally, here is another whis-
per that I discovered" the nominee
continued. 1.-THE whisperers are circu-
lating the word around that Smith and
the Democrats intend to take the en-
bargo of of Argentine cattle, which are
now Kept out Of the country because OF
the prevalence Of the foot-and-mouth
disease"
did you ever hear anything more
ridiculous than that?" He asked con-
tinuing:
Backs immigration Law.
There is another whispering cam.
paign that is going on and it is preya
lent in this section of the country. BE
careful of Smith. He favors unre-
stricted immigration. He is going r.
open up the fioodgates and let En-.
rope poIff all over this country"
This he termed nonsense. when II
is considered that both the Republican
and Democratic platforms, in different
language, declare absolutely for tha
retention in full force and effect of the
present restrictive measures in the i'm.
migration laws"
Il declared for it, so did the Repub.
lican presidential candidate" he sale
except that he said that the national
origins law was not workable. And
agree with him on that. There is nc
issue between U.S."
WHO cheering greeted the nominee
when he declared that nobody couIc
deny that the great immigrant popula
ton aid its full share" to build up this
country, including 1.-The great Scandi.
navlan and German immigration tr
the Northwest"
The hall where Gov. Smith snol,c
was estimated by police to have hell
$4,000 people. and it was damned t.
the doors 20 minutes after it wa:
opened at 6 o'clock This was three
hours before Gov Smith began hi
speech. Almost as many were said t,
have stood around the structure and il
park opposite it, while hundred
pounded away at a dozen or NOR
entrances trying to gain admittance.
