FOOD ADULTERATION
CHARGED BY EXPERTS
Department of Agriculture De
clares Use of Mineral Oil in
Products Forbidden by Law.

BY the Associated Press.
The Department of Agriculture issuei
a statement today declaring all food
containing mineral oil are adulterated.
and that this is expressly prohibited
by the Federal food and drugs act. -
The statement said
Mineral oil is not digested and as
simulated; it has neither food value MOI
continental value; it therefore has no
proper place in food products. Its us
in foods, either as a substitute for
edible oil in such products as mayon-
naise, or for other purposes, lowers the
food value of the finished product.
This is expressly prohibited by tho
Federal food and drugs act. Products
containing mineral oils intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention OF
disease are drugs and should be plainly
and conspicuously labeled as SUCH"

Hoover's Reply.
Mr.. Hoover replied that the finding
of the commission in 1917 was on ap-
peal which had not been decided and
that the company had right to chal-
lenge any assumptions found in 1t with
which they did not agree.
Peoples Counsel Fleharty observed
that the Sangster report was before
them and it could be attacked here and
now without the production of Mr..
Sangster. Hoover replied that his OBJ
lection did not relate to the mathe-
matics of the report, but to questions
of fundamental principle in arriving at
its deductions.
The battle over the Bachman report
was the second of the day. Earlier
there had been an effort on the part
of the company's lawyers to prevent
Mr.. Bachman from testifying on the
subject of working capital. In answer
to questions by Mr.. Lynch, Mr.. Bach
man denied this as "the amount OF
cash and supplied necessary to be kept
on hand to meet current expenses"
Just moment" interrupted Swagal
Sherley, one of the counsel for the
company, Il thought this report was
based on historic cost from the books
of the company?" Peoples CounSe
Fleharty said that Mr. Bachman hac
examined the books of the company
and had arrived at his own conclu.
sionS as to what allowance should be
made for working capital. This wa;
what every other witness had done
and it was proper for Mr.. Bachmar
to do so also, as his opinion was az
good as that of any of the other wit.

Mr.. Hoover promptly challenged the
testimony on the ground that MIR
Bachman was supposed to be testify

GLASS LAUDS SMITH
IN SPEECH AT HOME
Virginia Senator Applauded for Re-
pudiation of Ecclesiastical
Tyranny in Politics.

LYNCHBURG, Va, october 81
United States Senator Carter Glass OF
Virginia, speaking in his native city
last night, received an enthusiastic well
come from his fellow townsmen. While
one audience filled the hal In which
he spoke, amplifiers carried his ad-
dress to an overflow audience assembled
in another auditorium.
The Virginia Senator launched
Scathing denunciation against corrup-
ton, which he said had prevailed under
Republican administration, and lauded
the accomplishments of the Democratic
party. He heavily scored those whom
he said have sought to inject into the
campaign questions which he said were
not real issues. In comparison Of the two
presidential candidates, he emphasized
the qualifications of Alfred E. Smith,
which he found to be outstanding when
compared to those of Herbert Hoover.
But they say" he told his audience,
"that the real issue is not how much
the Republican party stole, but whether
AL Smith takes a toddy. Some people
seem to think it is a crime to take a
drink. but virtue to steal everything
in sight"
Senator Glass closed his address with
an appeal to the people of his home
city not to throw away ''the birthright
of Thomas Jefferson" He brought the
crowd to its feet with his final declara-
ton that if the people of Virginia want
ed a Senator who would bow to eccle-
siastical tyranny, they could not have
him."

END OF INTOLERANCE
DEMANDED BY RITCHIE
Blames Anti-Smith Forces for In
jecting Religious Issue
Into Campaign.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 27.-Appealing
to the people to root out religious in
tolerance "for the sake of our common
brotherhood" Gov. Albert G. Ritchie
of Maryland in speech here last night
charged the anti-Smith forces with re-
sponsibility for the religious issue in the
presidential campaign.
He said there is a determined, or
ganized. un-American effort to defeat
Gov. Smith because of his religious
faith, and for no other reason what
ever" Statements made by political
parsons, Ku Kluxers and bigots that
Smith or his supporters are injecting
this issue in the campaign, or that 1t
is a smoke screen for the wet cause" "
are untrue, he asserted.
THE truth is" Gov. Ritchte added,
that the wet issue is being used as a
camoufiage by those who are against
Smith because of his religion, and in
exposing this and fighting this, Smith
and his supporters are really exposing
and fighting as vicious and dangerous
an assault as has ever been made on
the cardinal tenet of American liberty"
He branded as sheer bunk" talk
about the Pope or the Catholic Church
interfering with American politics or
Government.
"The defeat of Smith because of his
religion and the injustice of this to the
Catholic Church are inconsequential
compared to the evils that are sure to
result from this injection of the re-
ligious issue into politics" he said.
"Once started no man can tell its end"

NEW YORK, October 27.-John j.
Raskob. Democratic national chairman,
said yesterday that reports from his
party workers indicated that Herbert
Hoover's speech here last Monday night
s'has helped tremendously the Smith
cause in the agricultural Northwest.
At the same time other leaders said
reports received at Democratic national
headquarters stated that Senator Jo-
seph r. Robinson, Democratic vice
candidate, had been re-
ceived with great enthusiasm in North
Dakota this week, and this was at
tributed in large part to the Hoover
speech.
Claims Many States.
While national headquarters we're
claiming New Jersey, "the solid South
and ali the so-called border States,
Mr.. Raskob said he felt confident Of
three New England StateS-Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts, and New Hamp-
shire; Indiana in the Middle West and
Oklahoma.

necticut or Massachusetts, at al" he
said. I'm fact, we expect Gov. Smith
to carry New Hampshire. 1t Is only a
question of how much the French vote
is opposed to him. Senator Moses ought
to concede New Hampshire, just to
show there are no hard feelings.
I'VE feel very certain Of Indiana now

that Oklahoma is safe for Smith"

to Hoover's speech and to Senator Nor

Mr.. Raskob predicted that following
upon Gov. Smiths Philadelphia and
Baltimore speeches there would be a
great change of sentiment toward him
When asked what the speeches were
to be about, however, he said he did
not know.
'I think few people appreciated be-
fore the governor went through New
England the real enthusiasm people
have for him here in the industrial
East" he said. IT think the reception
he got up there has sort of opened

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, October 27.-A
plea to the voters of the Nation to
''caSt aside religious intolerance and
bigotry by electing Al Smith to the
presidency" was made here last night
by Mrs. Nellie Tayloe Ross, former Gov
ernor of Wyoming. Mrs. Ross addressed
q capacity crowd in the Colonial Thea
ter. She made her appeal chiefly to
woman voters.
The former woman executive said she
believed the time had come to elect a
well qualified Catholic to the presi-
dency to answer for all time the ques-
ton whether Catholic citizen in this
democracy is ineligible to all the privi-
leges of citizenship"
Mrs. Ross lauded Smith for 'ur1-
1inchingly approaching the prohlbition
question" in the present campaign.
She criticized Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, Assistant United States
Attorney General, for what she deScrib-
ed as "using the prestige of a high
Federal Office in an attempt to in
fuence great bodies Of church mem
hers" against Gov. Smiths candidacy.
Would Elect Catholic.
'Now, after 152 years of national
life" the speaker said, Il think 1t is
time we we're electing well qualified
Catholic to the presidency to answer
for all time the question whether a
Catholic citizen in this democracy is
ineligible to all the privileges of citizen
ship while there are imposed upon him
all of its obligations, not only Of taxa
ton, but the offer of life itself in time
of war to defend the liberty of the
country.
1T has not been many years since
mothers Of the land stood on the sides
of the streets, their hearts in their
throats, and tears in their eyes, watched
the finest young manhood in the coun-
try march of to an unknown fate
Catholic boys along with the Protest
ants. There was no thought then of
religion; no suggestion that those Cath
olic boys should be exempt from serv-
ice; nor charge against them of shrink
ing or lack of valor upon the battlefield.
! denounce now, in time OF peace, as
unworthy the precious heritage Of
American citizenship, and unworthy the
sacrifice of all our heroes in that war,
any sentiment or conduct on the part
of all our people that is based upon
prejudice or injustice rather than fair

Takes Up Prohibition.

who reject his proposed solution OF this
