BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 28.-"The
unqualified. full and complete sup
port of Franklin D. Roosevelt and
John N. Garner" was asked of the
voters of Massachusetts, Thursday
night by Alfred E. Smith in an ad-
dress to 10000 of his followers.
The former New York Governors
speech, made with his characteristic
vigor, denounced the Republican
administration, attacked President
Hoover's Detroit speech. defended
his previous utterance charging the
Republican management with
"bigotry," and urged all Democrats
to support the national ticket.
Il was not satisfied with that
Chicago convention" Smith de-
clared, land know you were not
satisfied with it. But listen! We
settle these troubles in our party.
We don't want any advice, and
above everything else, we want no
sympathy from Senator Moses or
from his Republican cohorts"
Attacks Detroit Speech
Smith attacked President Hoover
and once more brought in the
name of Roosevelt-when- he dis
cllsSed the Presidents statements
regarding veterans relief, in his
Detroit speech. He said:
THE President said in answer to
the Democratic candidate, Frank
Roosevelt, that even if he stopped
all public works, he finally would
have to take $500,O00,O00 from the
veterans, and he said that would
be a grave injustice.
"A grave injustice to whom? To
the taxpayers? That is the gross
injustice, because there are men
receiving money from the federal
government today that not only
never left this country, but never
saw any kind of service, were. never
injured in the service, or have no
disability directly Uraceable to the
service"
Lashes at Tariff
Let us give the speech another
look" he continued. He says it
can be demonstrated that the tide
has turned, and that the gigantic
forces of depression are in retreat.
why, the real fact is, if you take
New York as a barometer, and it
ought to be a fair one, there are
more people out of work today than
there were at this time a year
ago."
The former Democratic candidate
attacked the tariff as keeping goods
out of the country, pleading that
"the only way they foreign ma
tiOnS) can pay us is in goods
"And the funny part of it is
he continued, that all the high ad-
ministrative officers in Washington
refer to the plight of our neighbors
abroad And when they are sink
ing and calling for life rreserver,
the national administration throws
them an anchor"
Raps b. E. F. Tragedy
Smith criticised the administra-
tons handling of the bonus army,
and said it was the place of the
President "as COMMUNICATIVE chief
of the United States army, to go
out and talk to them and explain
the situation of the finances of the
country with respect to the claims
they were making"
In defense of his Newark speech.
in which he charged that the Re-
publican campaign management
had been responsible for "bigotry''
in the 1928 campaign, Smith said:
Il proposed to show that the
money required to spread the prop
uganda of religious bigotry in 1928
was supplied by the Republican
committee.
Smith concluded with another
appeal that "the salvation of the
country depends on the success of
the Democratic ticket and urged
election of his party's nominees for
all national and state offices.
