DEMOCRAT LEADERS
Famed Evangelist, in Local
Pulpit, Says South Will
Defeat Smith.

BILLY" Sunday came to town yester-
day and last night he leaped and climb
ed about the pulpit of the First Con-
gregational Church, Tenth and G.
streets, tarring AL Smith, Tammany,
John j. RaSkob, Carter Glass and
JoSephus Daniels with the blackest
brush his rapid-fire tongue could mus
ter. Back on his old stand, fighting
"Old King Alcohol" the famous evan
gelist was in old-time form. He used
up four handkerchiefs mopping his brow
and wilted to a Sodden mass a fresh
stiff collar.
Explaining that he had nothing at
all against Smith," Sunday spent near
ly two hours in denunciation of him
and his cohorts of the Democratic
attacking the stand of the Democratic
candidate on immigration, farm relief,
his affiliations with the Roman Catholic
Church and on his association with
Tammany.
I'm sick and tired of this fellow
RaSkob and the rest of them passing
the buck of religious intolerance to
u.s." he said. They're just as intoler-
ant on the Catholic side of Herbert
Hoover as we are on the Protestant
side of AL Smith. If Carter Glass goes
about Virginia downing Bishop Cannon
for his activities against Smith, what
right as Carter Glass to speak in favor
of Smith?"
Attacks Saloon.
1t was the saloon that Sunday par
ticularly attacked. They talk about
Al Smiths record as governor of the
State of New York" he said. New
York is the worst run State in the
Union There are 10000 speakeasies
and Suchlike cesSpools in New York
City, and Tammany runs them. AL
Smith runs Tammany. They'll all cry
bring back the saloon but don't call
it saloon"
Sunday predicted that it will be the
South that will defeat Smith. THE
South is dry" he declared, "and it is
in rebellion. Not with bullets, this
time, but with patriotism against party
and with principles against politics.
The South will snow Smith under on
Tuesday"
Discusses Western Trip.
Smith" he said, "goes out to the
West to tell the farmers how to run
their farms What does AL Smith know
about farming? He never carried slop
to hog. He doesn't know gee from
haw and wouldn't know which side of
q COW to sit on to milk her."
About 1000 persons were unable to
get into the church for the meeting.
For more than an hour they stood in
the rain in front of the church while
the reserved seats were being filed by
contributors to the cost of the meet
ing. Then the doors we're opened, and
not more than 200 of those who had
been waiting for the public seats were
able to enter.

Hoover for the presidency and referred
to the lack of public relief in many ma
tlonal problems.
Former Senator Lee urged the elec-
ton of Smith for President, ravid
Lewis for the sixth district Congress
seat now occupied by Frederick N. Zihl-
man and the reelection of Senator VIII
