The Washington times., 1928-11-01


paign outside New York last night
with 4 speech in New Jersey IN
which he assaulted the whole Re.
publican breastworks, from candi-
dates to policies, and again dealt III
no uncertain terms with the issues
he himself has raised in the cam
pafgn.
ROusing Jersey Welcome
The speech followed an old-fash-
toned political celebration in the
Democratic stronghold of North
Jersey. which for sheer exuberance,
red fire, and boisterousness equalied
enything the Democratic candidate
has met in his campaign travels.
The Jerseyites literally took the
lid off to welcome "Al'' from across
the river, and it was early this
morning before the last dying en-
bers of the red fire burned out and
the whoopee-make rs trugged YEARLY
homeward.
Governor Smiths Newark speech
was promarily a bid for the big
labor vote of the country, for he
pledged himself to end the abuse of
labor injunctions, to seek out and
remedy the causes for unemploy-
ment, and to pursue no policy as
President, with regard to tariff or
general business, that will take one
scent piece from the pocket of the
American workingman.
Makes SIasIling Attack
But with his own proposals he
coupled slashing and sardonic
attack upon Herbert Hoover, Charles
Evans Hughes, Sen. William f..
Borah, and other Republican ora
tors, as well as upon the record
Of the past eight years.
Again he sarcastically challenged
his Republican opponent to say
where he stood On prohibition, on
water power, on farm relief, and
with just a tinge of bitterness in
his voice he denounced Republican
Wage-earner" with the DOGGY of
eIlard ! times should there be a
democratic victory next Tuesday.
He held aloft circulars which he
said Republican employers had been
slipping into the pay envelopes of
their workmen, which ''grayely and
grossly misrepresented the national
campaign Such employers, he as
serted, were mot the best kind of
citizens"
Challenge to Hoover
The Republican leadership, he de-
Shared, is trying to fool the Ameri-
can workmen," just as it has
fooled the American farmer for
eight years And in this connection
he flung out a definite challenge
TO Hoover to say fatty at st. Louis
tomorrow night where he did or not
not keep farm prices down in the
war period.
Senator Borah told the farmer
shat during the war and reconstruc.
ton period, Hoover kept up the
prices of farm products" he. said.
But Mr.. Hoover sent a cablegram
from Europe over here that was
transmitted to one of the farm
leaders saying he kept prices down.
Now, they can't both be right.
He either kept them down or he
kept them up. Senator Borah said
he kept them up. He said himself
he kept them down. Now this can
be explained. Mr. Hoover speaks
this week in st. Louis Let him
tell the American farmer who is
right, Senator Borah or himself.
"And let me go step further.
Let him deny the presence of this
cablegram and I will produce it,
Hats BOOes Of Hughes
Governor Smith dealt sarcs sti-
eally with the speeches Charles e.
Hughes is making for Hoover. The
crowd "booed" Hughes name with
right good will until the Governor
stopped it with appraised hand.
1T doesn't benefit Jersey to do
that to Mr.. Hughes" he said. let
me attend TO it. He is all right
except he is mistaken"
why, he demanded ironically,
isn't Hughes running for the Presi-'
dency himself.
HE Is doing more work to elect
the Republican candidate than the
nominee himself" Governor Smith
declared It's the same old thing
history repeats itself. We have a
quiet candidate and he has 10 have
a spokesman. The people are get
