BOSTON, Nov. 1.-Alfred E. Smith
the Democratic party'S standard

that President Roosevelt's Boston
speech was "a perfect smokescreer

On the platform of Symphony Hall

last night, the man who was called
"the Happy Warrior" when he cam

capacity of 2,700. He stood beneath

The President, Mr.. Smith said,
"says he's having lot of fun, having
a good time. Well, he has certainly
been giving us a wonderful time for
seven and half years. But III tell
you one man that isn't having a good
