SMITH MOVES ON BALTIMORE TO ‘SEW UP’ STATE VOTE

SPEAKS TONIGHT TO REPAIR ANY BROKENFENGES Polls Indicate Maryland Doubtful; Hopes to Clinch Victory. CHEERED IN PHILLY Raskob Jubilant Over Warm Welcome; Al Clarifies Stand on Issues. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Pres* Staff Correspendent CENTERVILLE, Md„ Oct. 29. Governor Alfred E. Smith picked his brown derby from the Raskob estate hat rack today and set out to mend whatever political fences his opponents have broken down in Maryland. Armed with assurances from the unexpected welcome he received in Pennsylvania, the Democratic nominee, with a speech under his arm, motored tP his special train. He planned to meet ft at Claymont, Del., arriving in Baltimore at 3 for what his advance agents say will be another boisterous reception. Smith refused comment on the Norris bolt and the statements of other leaders. He will deliver his speech tonight in the largest Baltimore armory. A twenty-mile motor parade through Baltimore has been arranged for this afternoon. The Governor will return to New York Tuesday. His speech tonight will be broadcast over a national hookup. Replies to Hughes In the,heart of Vare-Mellon Republicanism Smith, Saturday, in his address at Philadelphia charged the nabobs of the Republican party with attempting to becloud the issues of the campaign. Reiterating his stand in his speech at Louisville, Ky., he declared that if the Democratic ticket was successful on Nov. 6, business, large or small, would have nothing to fear. He hammered the statement of Charles E. Hughes, former secretary of state, who asserted in a talk that if Smith were elected the Democratic members of congress would not follow his tariff leadership, by announcing that he had received word from 80 per cent of the Democrats seeking re-election or election to congress that they would support his tariff stand. Takes Up Prohibition Turning the verbal faucet on the wet issue and Hughes’ declaration that it was a “sham battle,” he said: “Sham battle? What does Governor Hughes mean by that? This is a real fight upon the merits or demerits of the Eighteenth amendment.” He quoted former President Hadley of Yale, former Presidents Taft and Wilson as bearing out his view that morals cannot be legislated into the American people. Then he cited Hoover’s statement in 1958. while acting as food administrator, that if brewing was stopped the saloons still would be open on a whisky and gin basis. “While there are no public saloons today, no person can deny that hard liquor can be procured in any part of this nation. Exactly what Hoover warned against ten years ago is taking place in the nation today,” he said. Scores Republican Waste The Governor answered his critics on what he could do about the prohibition laws by averring that his election not only would intensify a demand for their change, but that he would aid that intensity by bringing the dry laws directly to the people of the nation for a remedy. He took'up charges that he had misinformed the country In his Missouri address, regarding the finances of the country, by attacking Secretary Mellon’s figures on

VETERANS CALL TRUCEJN FIGHT Legion, V. F. W. to Confer on Gresham Memorial. James Gresham was the first American soldier killed in the world war. He died Nov. 3, 1917, and now lies in a simple grave at Evansville, Ind. Two opposing veterans organizations today called an armistice in their battle to erect a memorial shrine in his honor. Arthur G. Gresham, Indianapolis, commander of the Arthur Q. Gresham post of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, will meet Tuesday with Raymond J. Coudret, Evansville, commander of the Funkhouser post of the American Legion, to determine a course of action in the matter. A few days ago the Evansville Legion announced plans for erecting a memorial to Gresham. They contend they have a paper signed by Gresham’s mother giving them rights to the boy, and have been planning the memorial several years. Arthur Gresham protests on the grounds that he is the nearest living relative of the dead soldier and that the V. F. W. have planned to build a huge granite shrine for five years. About $5,000 has been pledged in Indianapolis for the $50,000 project, he says, and the state organization of the V. F. W. is backing the plan. Arthur Gresham’s father was the second cousin of James Gresham’s father, it is said.

BUS ROUTING IS UP TOCOUNCIL Slack Favors Meridian for Fairview Line. City council will decide whether Fairview busses will use North Meridian street, Mayor L. Ert Slack said today. Howell Ellis, public service commissioner, said last week he would delay the decision on the railway’s petition for busses to serve Butler university at Fairview and vicinity until he gets the views of city officials. Slack suggested to the park board some time ago that busses be permitted on Meridian street to avoid heavy congestion on Delaware street. “Any use of Meridian street for a bus route would be temporary, subject to the experiment,” Slack declared. John E. Milnor, park board president, said: “I see no objection to using a hard surface boulevard for busses. “Other cities use bou. wards for bus routes and I have no personal objection to the railway using Meridian at the present time.” Council probably will discuss the bus problem next Monday night.
