SIMMONS ATTACKS
PARTY HYPOCRISY
North Carolina Senator Says
Democrats Use "Bigotry"
Charges as Screen.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW BERN, N. c., October 13-Sen-
ator Furnifold M. Simmons, Democrat
of North Carolina, has hurled at his
party the accusation that its presiden-
tial campaign is one in which hypocrisy
is the predominant factor
Addressing a meeting of "Anti-Smith
Democrats" here last hight, he declared
that the party is waging militant
liquor campaign" in the North. while be-
low the Mason and Dixon line it is evad-
ing the prohibition question and raising
cry of intolerance against those who
honestly oppose Gov Alfred E. Smith
because of his attitude toward the
eighteenth amendment and the VOL
stead law.
Senator Simmons has long been a
leader of his party both in North Caro-
lima and nationally. In addition to be-
ing identified actively with the "drys''
of the Senate, he has led the minority
party in legislation pertaining to Gov
eminent finance and taxation. He re-
signed as national Democratic commit
teeman for. North Carolina after the
nomination of Gov. Smith and the
naming of John J. Raskob as chairman
the efforts of North Carolina Democrats
opposing Smith.
"Dry Issue Paramount"
Terming prohibition "the paramount
question at ISSUE" Simmons last night
asserted that the Southern electorate
should not be Influenced by the smoke
screen of intolerance" thrown about the
campaign He reiterated his, charge that
Gov. Smith repudiated the party plat
form in his message to the Houston con-
vention following his nomination.
He asserted that during the month of
September Democratic speakers made an
intensive drive in the South to round
up the masses of the people under the
lash of party loyalty and regularity, !"
and that in so doing they evaded the
questions of both prohibition and immi-
grafton. Further, he declared, those
who are heart and soul'' for the re-
tention of prohibition have been told
that they are not opposed to Gov.
Smith because he wants to destroy this
great reform but because of their bigotry
and sectarian prejudice"

honors were easy.
Buchanan Victor.
Pennsylvania witnessed a fusion of
The Know Nothings and the Republicans
in Pennsylvania known as the Peo-
pies party. Both parties nominated the
same electors, and it was understood
that If Pennsylvania vote should prove
determinative of the result and fusion
won, Fremont was to have it. Other
wise the electors were to be divided as
the voters had voted, between Fillmore
and Fremont. But fusion had no chance
to work out the deal, for that 1,025
votes by which Buchanan won deter
mined the result and, possibly, changed
the entire course of American history.
Fillmore had no idea of winning in
the popular election, but he did hope so
to divide the vote between the Demo-
Gratis and the Republicans that the
election would be thrown into the
House. The closenesS of the vote in
Pennsylvania shows how nearly he
guessed 1t. The electoral vote was:
Buchanan, 174; Fremont, ia; Fill
more, g..
After Buchanan was elected he tried
to get the country to forget about the
slavery issue. In his inaugural address
he referred to forthcoming decision
of the Supreme Court, and Seward al
legged that there was collision between
Chief Justice fancy and Buchanan,
This so angered fancy that he declared
afterward that If Seward had been
elected President in 1860 he would have
refused to administer the oath to him.
And yet Lincoln repeatedly made the
same charge without driving Taney to
such refusal All fair authorities acuuit
Buchanan and fancy of any collision.

ROBINSON SELLING
SMITH PERSONALITY
Emphasizes "HumanneSS" of
Nominee in Speeches
Through Far West.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
EN- ROUTE WITH SENATOR ROB-
NSON TO SEATTLE, October 13.-
Out here in the normally Republican
Far West Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, is setting himself up as political
salesman, and his wares are the per-
sonality, accomplishments and govern
mental views of his running mate, Gov.
Smith.
Whenever he speaks it is not so much
to criticize the opposition party and
Its candidates or to tell what he him
self thinks about the issues of the day
as 1t is to emphasize what he regards
as the progressive qualities of the man
VINO heads the Democratic ticket with
him.
Tells of Rise.
A certain formal part of his speeches.
1t Is true, is devoted to purely partisan
discussion, during which he endeavors
TO tear away at Republican policies and
the Republican presidential candidate
But when that is done, he launches into
the informal and intimate phases of his
campaigning which, in word, is sell
Ing AL Smith," as his associates put it.
The Democratic vice presidential
nominee likes to tell his listeners about
what he calls the "humanness" of Gov,
Smith. All the way on his trip from
Reno to Seattle, where he speaks to-
night, he told those who greeted him
of the rise of Smith from a poor East
Side New York boy to his present DO
sition of prominence.
Due in BOrah's Home.
When his campaign on the West
Coast is finished, Mr.. Robinson will
turn Eastward, stopping at Boise. Idaho,
early next week for a speech in the
home town of Senator Borah. who has
been campaigning for Mr.. Hoover.
Although he has not had a full op-
portunity to assess the immediate re-
suits of his Southwestern and Western
invasion, so far Senator Robinson de-
clares himself to be greatly pleased
with such reactions to his visit as he
has noted. He told groups in Cali
tornia yesterday that he was convinced
the Democrats have good chance to
carry the home State of the Republican
presidential candidate.
