Senator Moses, Republican, Of New

Smiths program clearly akin" to the
one President Hoover has been advo-
eating to Congress, before Senator
Tydings, Democrat, Of Maryland, took
the floor to term the assertion "ludi-
crous" and to maintain emphatically
that Smith was far from accord with
the President
He argued that while Smith had
courage to explain on every point
where he stood, Mr.. Hoover's views on
many questions, notably prohibition,
were hard to learn.
But at the White House, where Mr..
Hoover scrupulously maintained public
silence on it, others disclosed that the
Chief Executive concurred in part of
the plan outlined Monday by his 1923
Democratic rival, and objected point
edly to others.
Opposes Relief Attack.
A particular objection mentioned was
to Smiths statement that the admin

money to States for relief would be
ineffective.

w. irving SIlOVer, Assistant POSJmaS-
ter General. said today that portions OF
his speech before the Missouri postmas-
tiers in Springfield on Saturday had been
distorted so as to create q grossly mis-
leading impression"
Glover said he had made no demand
or request OF postmasters to support
President Hoover for reelection. nor
had he made any reference to "parti-
san politics"
Glover said that what he did say was
this:
We are all Americans and our coun-
try is going through perilous times. and,
whether we are Republicans, Democrats,
Socialists or Prohibitionists, all should
stand foursquare back Of our President.
1T is time for all of us, including
the postmasters, to be on the firing
line to assist in every way and to sup
port the Presidents program to bring
this Nation out of the serious times
through which we are passing
IF there are any poStmaSters who
DO not want to do this, it is up to them
to resign and will be glad to take
their designations back to Washington

the Declaration was adopted, is a re-
markable example of early American
architecture. The mansion also was
the birthplace of Robert E. Lee.

by the foundation and the luncheon Is
being held TO promote interest in re-
storing the house and gardens. The
property. consisting of about 200 acres,
was acquired for the sum of $4,000.

luncheon arrangements today expressed
qualification that Gov. Ritchie is to
speak, saying that they are aware of
the heavy pressure of his duties upon
him just before the Democratic
National Convention.
They explained that his deep interest
in the movement arises from the asso-
citation of his family with the State,
his mother having been a Miss Cabell
of Richmond.

Mass contended the recent speech by

clearly that under this administration
the Post Office Department has been
used primarily for political purposes
and not run for economical, efficient
service
Since all that is necessary to fill

campaign for candidate for office, 1t
is hardly in keeping with the retrench-
