sent By former Governor Alfred E.
Smith and four other Democrats
OF national importance to dele.
gates to the National Democratic
convention:
To the delegates to the Ma
tional Democratic Convention Of
1885:
AS men who believe in the
principles, teachings and tradi-
tions of the Democratic party
as they were personified by
Thomas jefferson, Andrew
Jackson and Grover Cleveland,
we urge you, who meet in the
name of the party made glori-
GUS in the minds of patriotic
Americans by the records of
those men, to emulate their ex-
amples and do in the present
grave crisis, confronting our
country, what those great lead
ers would have done under such
conditions.
Follow Founders
We suggest to you, as all Of
these men were conspicuous for
courage and character, that
they would subordinate parti-
sanShip to patriotism; look with
an eye single to the welfare Of
the country and its citizens; act
in the manner best calculated
to preserve the institutions un-
der which we became the first
nation of the world and gave
to our citizens a measure Of
comfort and a standard of liv-
ing wages incomparably higher
than those enjoyed in any other
land.
HANDS OFF BUSINESS
We submit therefore that-If
you are to continue to act under
the name Of the Democratic
party-yOu must first, be Ameri-
can rather than anything else:
you must take the heavy hand
of Government off Of business,
to the end that the 10 or IL
millions of unemployed may
again join the ranks of workers
employed in the factories, in
duStrieS and on the farms of the
country; you must put in power
men under American policies of
government who will balance
our budget and put an end to
the series of deficits measured
in billions, which the present
Administration has given to us;
you must have q government
which will make and enforce
laws that will keep the Ameri-
can markets for the American
industries and farms and not
have them swamped by the
goods and products Of nations
that are our industrial and farm
ing rivals and competitors.
CHASING SHADOWS
In chasing the shadow of for
eign markets we must not throw
away the substance of the great
est market in the world-the do
meStic market of the United
States of America. You must
put an end to the orgy Of spend.

Support Held Vital to
Garry Minnesota
For Roosevelt
BY WILLIAM s. NEAL

CONVENTION HALL, PHILA-
DEPHIA, June % U.N.SO In an
effort to prevent a split with the
Farmer-Labor party in Minnesota,
a Democratic national subcommit-
tee today was said to have agreed
to seat two contesting sets Of ma
tional convention delegates.
A member of the subcommittee
which heard the contest between
the Wolff and Moonan-Ryan fac
tions, said that this compromise
course would be taken. Mayor
Frank Hague of Jersey City, sub
committee chairman, declined to
say what decision had been
reached.
William Dempsey. speaking in
behalf of the contesting Wolff fac
ton delegates, declared support Of
the Farmer-LaboriteS is vital to
the party. He said:
"If you can go into Nebraska
and support Senator Norris,
and into California and aid
Senator johnson, we feel juSti-
fled in doing what we can to
attract the liberal voters in
Minnesota"
He predicted the Democratic
party will eventually absorb the
Farmer-Labor party, "if it re-
mains liberal" He added:
Republicans who supported
Roosevelt four years ago are
backsliding.
"We will lose some Demo-
Gratis. Now that Mr.. Lemke
has put third party in the
field it is more necessary than
ever to get the liberal vote"
He described claims that Min
nesota is lin the bag" for RooSe-
velt in November as Optimistic"
Demanding a divorce from the
Farmer-Labor party, Representa-
tive Elmer Ryan urged seating of
% delegates of the Moonan-Ryan
faction. He said:
1--WE must fight as Democrats
to get anywhere"
The Moonan-Ryan faction has,
the spokesman said, refused to
flirt with the Farmer-Labor party.

Text OF AL Smiths Bitter Appeal
RepudiatinS Roosevelt

end to the campaign, now under
full swing, to buy the presidency
by the misuse of funds-gener-
ously given by the people Of the
United States to alleviate want
and distress, largely caused by
the incompetence of public serv-
ants-and if there is no other
way to do this, you must-dur-
ing the continuance of such help
to otherwise helpless millions of
Americans-save the honor of
the country by preventing the
dispensers of these public funds
from coercing the voters, for
whom the money has been ap-
propriated, not as bribe, but
as a national necessity.
GUST ROOSEVELT
These are hard tasks even for
men who are worthy of success
sion to the leadership Of the
Democratic party. They would
necessarily involve the putting
aside of Franklin D. Roosevelt
and the substitution of some
genuine DemOcrat-Of whom you
will have so many on your list
of delegates.
Is it too much to expect, with
the many patriotic men and
women among you, that the
convention will have the cour-
age and character to do these
things. You will have to do them
if you are to show yourselves fit
to follow in the footsteps OF JEFF
ferSon, Jackson and Cleveland.
The temptation to do other
wise may be great.
But if you do not act as those
men would have acted, you
should put aside the name of
the party, which you will have
deserted, and adopt a name
which will properly reflect the
principles of a regimented state,
as advocated in the SOcalled New
Deal legislation.
ASK DEMOCRACY
We hope for the best and call
upon you to stand for Demo
cratic principles so that the
coming contest may be between
two great American groups,
which have honest differences
of opinion, within the frame
work of the Constitution.
If you do, you will deserve
success and honor-no matter
what may be the outcome Of
the campaign, for in either case,
American institutions will be
safe.
If you fail, then patriotic
voters of all parties will know
unheSitatingly to what STAN
dard they must rally in order
to preserve the America of the
great leaders of the past.
We beg to subscribe ourselves
as men who will remain faith
full to Democratic ideals and
traditions, as we'll as to our
country. Faithfully yours,
(Signed)

recovered something of his usual
aplomb today. He said:
81 don't think there Is any
thing more 1 can say about the
Smith statement than I have
already said"
Previously he had asserted that
AL was speaking for the American
Liberty League, and he ventured
the thought that all Democrats
would appreciate that fact.
Just Spelling for Fight
Asked point blank who was 60
ing to answer Smith on behalf Of
the Democrats, Farley grinned his
usual grin and replied:
II imagine there are plenty
of Democrats, real Democrats, in
this country who will be glad
to reply to Smith,"
Democrats themselves, thou
sands of them, will take care Of
the situation. This is Demo
cratic convention, and every one
has a right to speak his mind"
The angle that burned up" the
arriving delegates was the man
ner in which the Smith attack
was made. The blistering Smith
attack was in the form of public
statement addressed to the dele
gates to the national convention,
but addressed to no one in par
ticular.
Smith Intended to Speak
Farley said he had received no
telegram or letter, and diligent
search failed to disclose anyone
who had actually received copy
of AIS blast. The delegates got
their information from the news.
papers.
So impressed by this fact was AL
Kennedy, a New York delegate
from Queens, that he sent tele-
gram to Smith today, inviting him
to appear before the convention
and declare himself. This was
hardly necessary, as AL is a dele
gate himself and has place in the
New York delegation.
Asked today If Smith would be
accorded the platform II he
wanted it, Farley grtnned and
said:
Certainly. This is a Demo
cratic convention. Smith is q
delegate. If the delegate from
New York wishes to address the
convention, he will be accorded
that privilege, just as any other
delegate"
The betting wss. however, that
the Brown Derby" won't appear
in this convention.
"WaIk" Seen as Fact
The belief was universal that
Al has spoken his peace" and
prepared the way for the walk"
that he has threatened to take
during the campaign. That Smith
will not support the Roosevelt |
Garner ticket was accepted on all
sides today as fact. Indeed, the
New York Evening Journ
printed a story that not only
would he bolt the Democratic
ticket, but that he would actively
support the Landon-Knox Repuo-
lican ticket.
In this Administration-con-
trolled convention, majority of |
the delegates appeared uncon-
cerned by the prospect of the one
time Happy Warrior" being out
side the breastworks. This was
particularly noticeable in the dele
cations from the South and West. |
Let him bolt" was their col
lective comment. LET him bolt
and so what?"
The delegates from the South
and West appeared more con-
cerned about the inroadS that |
may be made by the Lemke-
O'Brien third party ticket, which |
is frankly inflationary, and is sup
ported by the followers of Father
Coughlin, the Detroit radio priest, |
and to large extent by the
ToWnsenditeS.
