Incite Smith Followers to
Bolt Roosevelt.

PROVIDENCE. r. l.. October g.
Charging Republican national leaders
with conducting a campaign for the
revival Of the religious issue" Demo-
cratic National Chairman James A. Far
ley yesterday declared before the State
Democratic Convention that an effor.
is being made to persuade persons to
vote against Franklin D. Roosevelt in
resentment against the failure of the
Democratic National Convention to re-
nominate former Gov. Alfred E. Smith
for President.
-Four years ago." said Mr.. Farley
"Rhode Island, like its neighborine
State of Massachusetts, swung into the
Democratic column behind that grea,
statesman. that peerless Democrat. Al
fred E. Smith. Your vote on that oc-
casion registered your protest against
religious intolerance and prohibition

any question Of where this State will
stand when the ballots are counted

Declares Same Issues Revived.
THE answer is that the Republican
leaders this time are endeavoring to
capitalize exactly the same issues that

have h~en conducting a campaign foI
the revival Of the religious issue. with
little different angle. to be sure. but
with the same objective.
They are trying to persuade mer
and women who voted for Gov. Smith
to vote against Gov. Roosevelt on the
hypothesis that Roosevelts nomination
was in some way reflection upon Oul
candidate OF four years ago.
Il know how bitterly we all resented
the detection from our nominee ir
1928. Now the Republicans are seeking
to put you in the same position that
provoked your scorn in that election.
say 1t cannot be done"
Mr. Farley told the convention hi
had just come from the New York State
convention where, perhaps the two
greatest Democrats in the organization,
Roosevelt and Smith, had combined tc
name the State ticket.
Republicans counting upon disunior
in the Democratic party, he said, hao
been bitterly disappointed by the re-
suits of the New York convention.
Thinks West Is Safe.
It think I am quite safe in telling
you that Mr.. Hoover's supporters have
practically given up hope in the West,
said Chairman Farley. That is, they
have no very serious idea that there is
any Republican strength from the Pa
cilc Coast to the Mississippi River. OF
from the Gulf to the Canadian border.
The convention was to adopt a plat
form urging repeal of the eighteenth
amendment and modification Of the Vol

He Would Prevent Return

The nominees also were asked
whether they will stand for the re-
tention of the eighteenth amendment
- if after very careful consideration
YOU find yourself unable to propose
any definite plan which will effectively

as a vaudevillian and musical
comedy star before his advent
in those same movies.
Charley Chase is versatile. He
