White praised the governor for his record .since he left the legislature. Friends of Smith, who have followed his career, took issue with W’hite’s statement that Smith had voted “against forbidding physical connections between the saloon and the house of prostitution and gambling houses.” They pointed out that prostitution was net legalized in New York, and said White's assumption was unfair. "That was the intention of the bill, I am informed," White said. He was asked if he had “analyzed” the Harding administration. He smiled, then said he not been for Harding and had cast one of the six votes for Herbert Hoover on the final ballot in the 1920 convention when Harding was nominated. He was asked it he had once called Senator Curtis of Kansas, republican vice-presidential candidate, a “nitwit.” “Yes,” he replied, “but that has . nothing to do with this.”
