NAMPA, Idaho. october Ex-senator
William E. Borah, in an address mere,
said "one Of the most effective speecheS
vet made in this campaign Tor Mr.
Hoover was made Monday night by the
DISTINGUISHED Ex-Governor OF New York,
Mr. Smith
Declaring many sincere men and
women have been in doubt in the cam
paign because OF the attitude Of the
two parties on the prohibition question,
Senator Borah last night said there
could be no doubt after Smiths Newark
speech.
When a great leader of great party
says that decent people have no place
In the Democratic party" said Senator
Borah, lets take him at his word
There is room for honest differences
of opinion as to what to do with the
eighteenth amendment. Borah said.
but when he calls hose men and
women cranks, bigots, hypocrites, and
intellectual crooks-the millions of sin
cere and patriotic men and women who
would control the liquor traffic-he
leaves no doubt where respectable people
Of the United States ought to 60
Scores Gloom Spreaders.
Senator Borah struck at world leaders
who are spreading gloom over the
earth
Quoting Montagu Norman. governor
Of the Bank of England as saying our
economic difficulties are so vast and un-
limited he could not tell what would
ultimately result, Senator Borah said it
was a sad picture to come from So
high and responsible source"
IF these able gentlemen. who are 50
blue. so discouraged, spreading gloom
over all the earth, would summon their
courage and come to grips with the real
problems which confront us: in other
words, if they would help undo what
was done. We would find our way out
OF this depression" Borah asserted.
Speaking before gathering in the
Northwest NaZarene College auditorium
here, Mr.. Borah said that Mr.. Smith
in his address in Newark subordinated
all other questions to the one question:
Give us beer, give us something to
drink"
What magnificent political creed!"
the Senator said.
Removed All Doubt.
MANY sincere men and women have
been in doubt in this campaign owing
to the attitude Of beth parties on the
LIQUOR question. But Gov. Smith re-
moved that doubt with vast number
of people He denounced as bigots,
cranks. hypocrites and intellectual
crooks all who are net in favor of tear
ing down all barriers against the return
of the liquor traffic. He says to them,
in so many words. there is no place for
you ir the Democratic party.
The millions of sincere and patri-
otic men and women who would con-
troll the liquor traffic, who fear the re-
turn of the saloon, who believe in pro-
tecting the American home, these peo-
pie he denounced in most unmeaSured
terms as a bunch of bigotS and cranks
and should belong in the Hoover camp.
He said in effect if you have been in
any doubt we now invite you to get
out. Your presence, your influence are
not wanted.
There never has been in this country
more sincere, conscientious and
courageous body Of men and women
than those who have been fighting and
are still fighting the liquor evil. They
NAV be in error as to the best way to
treat the subject. They may be wrong
as to the best method of dealing with
the subject. That is a matter OF argu-
ment a matter of debate. But to de-
nounce as hypocrites and moral de-
linauents those who have sought in
every way to eliminate this curse from
society is nothing less than startling.
He does not present to the country
the question of how to deal with the
LIQUOR traffic, how to protect the dry
States. how to prevent the return OF the
saloon. He presents the naked PROPOSE
ton of a return to the evils beyond the
power Of human language to describe
