DRY LEADER FEARS
SMITHS Influence
Believes Roosevelt Willing to Give
Cabinet Post for
Support.
BY the Associated Press

WILMINGTON, N. c., November L.
Rev. Arthur j. Barton, chairman of
the Anti-Saloon Leagues Executive
Committee, issued statement here yes-
terday declaring "Al Smiths speeches,
especially the one at Newark, and press
reports that creation of a special cabi-
net position for Mr.. Smith is under con-
sideration by Gov. Roosevelt, ought to
open the eyes of the dry voters of
America"
His statement said, in part:
Hundreds of thousands of dry Demo-
Gratis fought Mr. Smith and refused
to vote for him four years ago after
he had bclted the Democratic party
and had thrown the platform overheard,
making platform of his own and max
ing his personality and his platform the
Chief issues in the campaign Many
OF these have been giving support to
Gov. Roosevelt on the supposition that
Gov. Roosevelt represents something
different from that which Mr.. Smith
represented. Many were led to suppose
that there was a real split between
Roosevelt and Smith and that Roosevelt
would not be controlled by the same
influences by which Smith would be
controlled.
THE sham battle is now entirely
plain. II Mr.. Roosevelt goes to the
White House, Al Smith and his allies
and cohorts, with their advocacy Of un-
limited floods of booze and everything
else for which Al Smith stands, will
be largely in control of the affairs of
Government 1t is fortunate that Mr..
Smith has come so fully. So boldly and
so boozlly into the campaign"

Early in the campaign the four Demo-

sell Garner to the voters and talked a
lot about him. But they abandoned that
line, either because they were told to
do so or because they found reasons of
their own. The Republicans have
stressed the need Of retaining the pro-

CHIEF VOLLMER.
DEFENDS COPS

In an indignant statement in
which he did not trouble to pull
his punches" August Vollmer,
professor of police administration
in the University of California,
warned the American people to-
day that. by ridiculing and be-
littling their policemen, they are
breaking down their only defense
against the criminal element"
The message is contained in a
letter made public here by the
National Retirement Club for
Firemen and Policemen. Vollmer
said in part:
"No group of men can keep
its morale unimpaired indefi-
nitely under such brutally un-
fair treatment as has been
given the police. And a police
man whose morale is bad is a
menace to the community"
In commencing the National
Retirement Club. whose member
ship includes police and fire de-
partmentS throughout the coun-
try, for it's statement that these
guardians of life and property
deserve the same honors and ap-
plause as the men of the United
States Army and N~vy, the thor
oughly aroused Vollmer continues:
But what does the average
policeman get? He is denounced
by the public, criticized by
preachers, ridicule" in the
movies, berated by newspapers,
and often unsupported by prose
cutting officers and judges.
Though hated by criminals, he
is unrewarded by popular ap-
plause, kicked around like a
football by brainleSS or crooked
politicians, Condemned when he
enfOrceS the law, and dismissed
if he doesn't"
