NEWARK, N. j., November Fol
lowing on the heels of Gov. Smiths
Newark speech. Norman Thomas, So
cialist candidate for President, told au-
diences here and In Passaic last night
that the governors labor program was
evasive," inadequate" and indefinite. y
Thomas appealed to "the rank and file
of labor to speak plainly to the politi-
clans in and out Of labor's ranks" by
rolling up big vote for the Socialist
ticket.
On unemployment Mr.. Thomas
termed Gov. Smiths views amazingly
inadequate for man who claims to
be nothing If not practical" Referring
to injunctions Thomas said that Smith
matched the Republicans in evasions.' "
Labor wants the abilition Of in
functions In labor disputes" he said
"In eight years this happy warrior has
done nothing effective against the In

BY the Associated Press.

WORCESTER, Mass, November a.
Maj. Gen. Henry T. Allen, chairman of
the national Democratic veterans bu-
reau, speaking here last night, charged
the Republican administration with Gin
difference" toward war veterans, and
praised Gov. Smiths record of provid-
ing aid for the veterans as governor of
New York.
1.-THE bill which would have given
to the survivors of the Army of the
Potomac and to widows of its dead a
reasonable pension was vetoed by Presi-
dent Coolidge" Gen. Allen said This
veto suggests the attitude of the Re-
publican party toward war veterans and
their needs.
Gov. Smith, as chief executive of
the Empire State, has met problems in
volVing the welfare of veterans in
greater degree than any other man in
public life. Largely through his in
strumentality, the veterans of that State
have received better treatment than
those of any other State"

This is the most important fact in
reference to tprice fixing Of wheat,
but Peek did not tell Senator Reed
and the Senator did not mention
that"
The Senator also forgot that he had
q hand in fixing the price Of wheat
himself and that the Senate, by a
unanimous vote. fixed a minimum for
1918 wheat at 50 bushel. or 26 cents
less than President wilson's board nxed
it for Hoover. OF course the Senator
can be pardoned for forgetting this, but
Peek cannot. because he was hired to

all doubt as to Mr. Hoover's position.
In the letter, Mr.. Hoover said wheat
had sold as high as $325 at Chicago,
and that -four from time to time had
been based on this speculative price of
wheat but the farmer had only re-
ceived an average of $151 a bushel.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, November a.
George N. Peek, chairman of the Smith
independent organizations committee,
bore the brunt of an attack by Senator
Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa in an
address here last night. Senator James
A. Reed of Missouri, whose address in
Chicago this week inspired the attack,
was also criticized.
Mr.. Peek was described as a "pur-
veyor of falsehoods" On him Senator
Brookhart laid the blame for Senator
Reeds charges that Herbert Hoover
during and after the war held down
farm product prices.
"The only prices Hoover ever tried
to hold down." Senator Brookhart said,
"were the prices of the spectators
and the gamblers.
Calls Policy vicious"
Senator Brookhart said Mr.. Peek had
been discharged as head of an indus
trial board in the Department of Com
merce. under President Wilson, and the
board destroyed because Of Peek's
vicious policy" in reduction of farm
prices. Mr.. Peek later was one of the
hackers Of the McNary-Haugen bill
opposed by Senator Reed.

see Senator Reed in the same political
bed with Peek" said Senator Brook
