OIL LABEL ON HOOVER DRAWS RASKOBREBUKE Criticises Hansbrough for Connecting Nominee With Foreign Interests. By United Press pw YORK, Oct. 12.—Issuing a formal statement sharply criticising former Republican Senator Henry G. Hansbrough, head of the Smith Independent League, for his speech in Minneapolis Wednesday linking Herbert Hoover with La tin-Ameri-can oil concessions, John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic committee Thursday night disclaimed responsibility for Hansbrough’': speech. Hansbrough’s address had brought a vigorous denial from the Republican National Committee that Hoover had connections with any LatinAmerican oil concessions. “I regret it a great deal,” Raskob said. “There is absolutely no truth in the charge. It is a great pity that Senator Hansbrough should have made the charge. “I had sent Senator Hansbrough a telegram advising him that the facts were untrue and asked that ho refrain from delivering it. I was advised that he was to make the speech. I learned of it through the organization.” Raskob said the Hansbrough had not been routed through the Democratic committee’s bureau and that he has not been scheduled to make any speeches for the bureau in the future. “Any attempt to villify a candidate for the high office of President of the United States is a low form of politics,” Raskob said. “It is fair to attack the candidate’s record and views. This is entirely proper.” “The country is in a sorry state when two men contending for the highest office within the gift of the American people are subjected to indignities of slander of this kind and charges of all kinds which are untrue and without the slightest foundation. Sticks to Charges Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Former Senator Henry C. Hansbrough today hadreiterated his charge that Herbert Hoover was connected with the Latin-American oil concessions and he said he regretted the criticism from John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee. In a telegram to the United Press Hansbrough said: “I regret exceedingly Mr. Raskob’s hasty attack on me. “The statements and charges I made are true. The evidence sustains me. “I regret especially comparing my charges against Mr. Hoover to the vicious personal attacks made on Governor Smith. Certainly it is no disgrace to have private interests in foreign lands. “What I did was to call attention to the fact that such interests on such a large scale are undesirable in one aspiring to the presidency.” Signs Name With Teeth to Vote Bu United Press NEW YORK, Oot. 12.—Signing her name with a pen held firmly in her teeth, Pauline Titersky, 22, paralyzed in both arms and legs since birth, registered as a first voter here, She would not say for whom she would vote.

SCORES RITCHIE CHICAGOSPEECH Meant to Stir Up Religious Prejudice, Says Good. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 12—Gov. Albert C. Ritchie's Chicago speech, in which he pleaded for religious freedom, has created a furor among Republican leaders here, who are openly accusing Ritchie of trying to inflame the Catholics of the city against Herbert Hoover. James W. Good, western Republican campaign manager, issued a statement in which he criticised the Maryland Governor for "seeking to stir up religious prejudice in a city internationally known for tolerance.” The Maryland Governor spent about two-thirds of his speaking time here talking on religious freedom and the other one-third in a discussion of prohibition. “For many years Chicago has electe dand defeated candidates on other issues than that of religion,” Good said in his statement. “With its cosmopolitan population, our city is internationally known for the absence of bigotry. I believe the people resent the persistent attempt being made to raise the religious issue in the heat of a campaign of principles.”
