Hijackers Busy on Road 20. Sheriff Clarence Minich and Deputy Orville Nelson gave chase Tuesday night to hijackers who were stopping cars east of LaGrange. The hijackers were chased about ten miles, but escaped. : Tourists driving ~ west Tuesday night were stopped by two men on Road 20 just over the line in Steuben county. Na attempt was made by the men to rob but they searched the cars. Some of the tourists stopped at LaGrange and notified the officers. 1t is believed that Road 20 has now become a favored route for westbound bootleggers and the recent trouble at Angola is suspected by many as having been caused indirectly by rival bootlegging gangs. Evidently the hijackers Tuesday night knew that there would be loads of liquor traveling over the road that night and were determined to pick up some of it for their own custbmers.—lLaGrange News.

“MORAL ISSUE” COLLAPSES UNDER SMITH'S REPLY TO. i * WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE

Opponents Forced to Acknowledge Falsity of Vige and Liquor Charges. ; “VILE SUGGESTIONS” REFUTED BY RECORD:

Democratic Nominee Declares Attack Was “Probably Ipspired” by Re- , publican Natiufljjommittee. ALBANY, N. ~—The furtively whispered and f all eclaimed “moral issue,” i nly into the Presidential campaign by William Allen White, Emporia (Kans.) editor, is today as dead as the dodo. i - With one masterly stroke, the forceful, fearless statement of a man unjustly assailed, Governor Alfred E. Smith has revealed clearly the unfairness and irresponsibility of those antagonists who were so unwise as to attack his personal record. Replying to the charges made by the Kansas editor, the Governor defonded and justified, bill by bill, his long record as a member of the New York State Assembly.

Vile Suggestions

Asserting that the “vile suggestions” of his accuser were ‘“probably inspired” by the Republican National Committee, the Governor said: | “lI am glad to have this matter taken out of the whispering stage and put into the open. Once and for all I shall meet it now.” And meet it he did. i

The “slanderous statement” that he had aided prostitution, he showed, was based upon his vote in opposition to a single bill; and he disclosed that he had opposed that bill merely because it was “unquestionably unconstitutional and unworkable.”

“On this bill, and on this single bill alone,” Governor Smith said, “Wil[iam Allen White would have my wife, my children and my friends’ believe that in my long career I was a friend of public prostitution.” Proving that the Kansan was entirely ignorant of the background of various bills he cited to support his charges, Governor Smith pointed out that both Republicans and Democrats had voted overwhelmingly with him. On one of the bills for which he was criticized, he revealed, the Assembly had voted unanimously.

Bills Duplicated The Executive disclosed also his accuser’s apparent guile in duplicating bills, in a ‘“deliberate attempt” to gshow that his votes “dealt with a far greater number of 80-called liquor bills than in fact they did.” One group of bills cited by White, referring to the establishment of premises licensed to sell liquor within 200 feet of a church or school, had been passed, it was shown, for the purpose of remedying a mistake in the language of the law, In accordance with a recommendation of the Court of Appeals. Reviewing the history of the accusations, which he characterized as cowardly, Governor Smith pointed out that White had issued a retraction of the charged dealing with gambling and prostitution. He continued: “The appearance of the Republican National Committee in the controversy indicates that it was a politicalg attack probably inspired by that committee, because the Republican National Committee this week issued an official release to the newspapers in which Mr. White retracts his retraction. ‘Not Fair Play

“Lacking the courage to stgd by its own complicity in the attack, the Republican director of publicity the next day states that he withdraws,’his issuance of Mr, White’'s withdrawal of his withdrawal.” The Governor added:

“No one in all the 25 years of my public life has ever dared to make the vile suggestions which emanated from Mr. White, with the approval of Henry J. Allen, Publicity Director of the Republican National Committee. What a cowardly course the Republican National Committee pursued! It lissued . a slanderous statement through itg official publicity bureau and then, after its general publication in the press, attempted to evade responsgibility by the childish claim that it had been given out by accident. That is not fair play.”

“HATES HYPGCRISY”

80 Famous Philanthropist, Life-long Republican, Will Vote for Smith.

August Heckscher, noted philanthropist and a life-long Republican, has announced that he will support Governor Smith rather than Hoover, because he “hates hypocrisy.” Mr. Heckscher was 80 years old last Sunday. He has voted the Republican ticket in every election for 60 years, he said, except when he cast his ballot for Cleveland.

SMITH LAUDED BY SOUTHERN SENATOR

George of Georgia Says South Respects Candidate’s ~ “Complete Integrity.”

ALBANY, N. Y.—Declaring that Democrats everywhere are bound to recognize the “honesty and complete mental integrity” of the man who heads their party, Senator Walter F. George, of Georgia, after his first visit to Governor Smith, predicted that the South would join the East in casting its electoral votes for Governor Smith. Senator George said: “I think the integrity of Governor Smith’s mental processes and his straightforwardness candor.and frank statement of the issues he wishes to make to the country, will equally appeal to the voters of the East and the South. - ;

“I"think that when the people have thought the matter over they are likely to respond, and will respond, to the open-mindedness and honesty of Governor Smith. On any public question the Governor will state his own position, .. :He doesn’t want to deceive himself or anybody else. My-recent discussion with him has convinced me that he has a marvelous grasp of the country’s problems. I regard him as one of the outstanding Democrats of all time.”

NATION ACCLAIMS SMITH ACCEPTANCE SPEECH

Prominent Republicans throughout th®é country joined Democrats in paying high tribute to the principles enunciated by Governor Smith in his speech of acceptance. Here is some of the comment:

COL. EDWARD C. CARRINGTON, campaign manager in Maryland for President Roosevelt and former Reipublican candidate for Senator: I concur with Gov., Smith in his insistence in giving the 40,000,000 people of the Middle West an outlet from the Great Lakes to the gea through American territory and controlled by the United States in peace and in war. I will vote for Smith.

WILLIAM H. SETTLE, President of the Indiana Farm Bureau’s Federation: Gov. Smith’s farm plan is in perfect agreement with the 34 farm organizations of the Central West. 2 GEORGE N. PEEK, Republican fagm leader, of Moline, Ill.: Gov. Smith's magnificent speech should awaken and thrill the farmers of this country. SEN. DUNCAN U. FLETCHER, of Florida: Gov. Smith has shown that he measures up to the atandard of a great statesman.

HENRY C. HANSBROUGH, former Republican Senator frem North Dakota: Gov. Smith sounds the tocsin of war in behalf of thirty odd millions of farmers. At last the farmer is in a position to take the first step towards relief by voting for a man whose record for constructive achievement is beyond reproach. ; RICHARD R. QUAY, prominent Republican business man of Pittsburgh, and son of the former Republican leader in Penhsylvania: A human declaration with honesty, high courage and red blood in every line—the most refreshing ever issued by a candidate for high office. : Here is some of the press comment:

TULSA, Okla., WORLD (Republican): It was the most candid and frank speech ever made by any candidate for the Presidency of the Unit ed States, and is a gladsome relief from the flubdubbery, evasion and claptrap indulged in by most men in high places. COLUMBUS, Ohio, STATE JOURNAL (Republican): Thoughtful, openminded, patriotic people, who know what is going on under the present prohibition policy, will give it much careful attention, ALBANY, New York, KNICKERBOCKER PRESS (Republican): It (Gov. Smith’s program) furnishes a starting point from which a way may be found out of the deep and disguating morass of official debauchery, law deflance, intemperance and, what s most appalling, peril to public and soclal morality. .

Courtesy Stressed at Oakland Factory To expedite the work of commercial men calling on the Q@akland Motor Car Company, of whom there are more than 2,000 a month (approximately one for every ten cars built), Charles /0. Miller, supervisor of purchases, has installed a courtesy plan designed to eliminate so far as possible the annoying wait in the lobby.. ‘ Under this system the information clerk checks the time of arrival of all callers having business with members of the purchasing department, and the time each caller had to wait before seeing his particular party. In the operation of the plan during the past few months, the average wait of each caller has been reduced 3.16 minutes. The best day's average was 1.5 minutes. This is the more remarkable in view of the fact that from one hundred to two hundred men are interviewed every day by the Oakland buvers.

A poster in the lobby tells the aim of the courtesy plan, and a bulletin board hanging by the information desk shows the number of men interviewed the previous day and their average waiting time. Each buyer also has posted bef6re him, over the signa ture of Mr. Miller, this constant reminder of the -courtesy creed:

~ “It is our aim to have the Purchasing Department callers delayed as little as possible in seeking an interview. It is the duty of each-buyer to see salesmen promptly. “It is also his duty to see that seles men have the proper regard for other salesmen who may be waiting their turn. '

‘“We wish this policy to be something more than a framed notice on the lobby wall. It is up to each buyer to see that this is the case.”

Every morning Mr. Miller sends the members of his department a record of the preceding day which shows the number of contracts each man made and the length of time he kept his callers waiting. The resultant in-tra-department rivalry has cut down the waiting average by a Considerable margin, and has won for Oakland “good will” a new signifiance in the mind of the caller at the factory. . PRy I - Chevrolet Equipment. Do you know that the air cleaner on automobiles removes the dust from the air making it purer than that which you yourseif breathe? For instance the air tleaner on a Chevrolet reduced the wear on certain moving parts to 17 tims less than on cars nog. equipped with an air cleaner.

Were it not for the air cleaner dirt would enter the engine, for on the cylinder walls -and soon become thoroughly mixed with the lubricating oil Without an air cleaner the inevitable result would be formation of a grinding compound which, besides attacking the pistons, rings and cylinder walls, would be driven remorselessly into the bearings and other working parts.

Quite often the dust on a road cannot be seen, but it is there just the same. Motor car wheels constantly erind off fine particles of road material which are dispersed through the air. These particles viewed under a microscope bear a striking resemblance to a valve grinding compound. o If it were not for the air cleaner, dust and sand would enter the carburetor—even in city driving-—caus-ing wear on cylinders, rings and pistons.

" Analysis of almost any carbon deposits taken from the average engine not air cleaner equipped shows that it contains a considerable amount of hard foreign matter that must have been drawn in threugh the carburetor. This causes damage throughout the engine, lowering its performance; shortening its life and causing unnecessary repair costs. The Chevrolet air cleaner.is made entirely of metal—has no moving parts—requires no attention. It will last for the lifetime of the car.
