Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic can
didate for President, at Sea Girt, N. j.,
another bedtime story
''Mr. Roosevelt, by using fiction for
fact, tries to make the prohibition
camel a goat, and ignores the fact that
the Democratic 'jackass administration
in States and cities has produced the
lions share of the lawlessness, racket
eering and crime of which he complains.
Tammany Tiger administration pro-
duces blind tiger results" the statement
said.
"Mr. Roosevelt speaks of the complete
and tragic failure of prohibition. Then
he talks of preventing the return of
the saloon In admitting the saloon
has been banished, he also admits that
prohibition did it. Pretty good work
for a tragic failure If any vestige of
it still remains, let it be noted that it
is due. not to prohibition, but to the
tragic failure Of the Democratic and
Republican wet administrations in our

Franklin D. Roosevelt said today that q
previous engagement prevented Mr.,

The luncheon was given by Basil
O'Connor, former law partner of the
New York Governor and Democratic
presidential candidate. The invitation
to Mr.. Smith, who opposed Mr. Roose-
velt at the Democratic National Con-
vention in Chicago, was regarded by
some political observers as a move to
pave the way for a closer union between
Mr.. Roosevelt and his predecessor, both
as Governor and as Democratic preSi-
Dental standard bearer.

the adoption of that platform.
Republicans Hit Roosevelt.
Republican critics of Gov. Roosevelt's
prohibition speech asserted that the
Democratic candidate was "a Little
Lord Fauntleroy not grown up in po-
litical stature" and that the Demo-
cratic platform prohibition plank was
! incapable of being put into opera

Gov Roosevelt says that the States
themselves can suppress the saloon"
said Senator George H. Moses of New
Hampshire. He hasn't given any proof
Of that under his administration"

golf club green fees, Frank J. Foran

Supreme Court
Foran, a member of the Olympic Club,

contention of the California collector
of internal revenue that he owed the
Treasury the $500 as a result.
Foran lost before a Federal District
Court He lost before the Ninth Circuit

The cost of putting the case on the
