ROOSEVELT-SM|TH
SPLIT FACES VOTERS
Dispute Over ReforeStation
Plan 0verShadoWs State
Wide Election.
BY the Associated Press.

ALBANY, N. Y. october ga per-
functory of year State election has at
tracted countrywide attention because
two national Democratic figures, Gov.
Franklin d. Roosevelt and former Coy.
Alfred e. Smith, differ over q consti-
tutional amendment dealing with trees.
The other phases of the November 3
election, the choosing Of q Brooklyn
Representative, selection of $50 Assem-
blymen. naming of two State Senators,
election of 20 justices of the Supreme
Court and the referendum on flve other
constitutional amendments, we're pushed
into the background by the difference
over the third amendment, q reforesta-
ton project.
Roosevelt personally appealed to the
voters to support the amendment, pro-
yiding for the purchase of abandoned
farm lands to be reforested. Smith
said II was wrong in principle"
The dispute between the two long
time allies has been interpreted as g
split between the man who carried the
Democratic presidential banner In 1928,
and his nominator, who seems to be on
the high road to distiction at the 1892
convention.
The effect of ths amendment ref
erendum is considered to have great
bearing upon the influence the two
leaders will have in New York affairs
during the eight months that will
elapse between the State election and
the quadrennial meeting of the Dem
ocratic forces.
Either John J. Delaney, q Democrat.
or William L. Padgett, Republican, will
win the seventh district congressional
seat. nominally Democratic. Matthew
