FARM AND LABOR LEADERS LOYAL TO GOVERNOR SMITH; E. 0. P. MEN ACCLAIM HIM

William Green, President of American Federation of Labor, ~ Lauds Governor’s Record. UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSED BY STATE FEDERATION §O,OOO People In Demonstration lti State Fair; Democratic Candidate Acclaimed by Republican Farm Leaders. " Twice in his own State last week, and among two distinct classes—the farmer and the labor man—Gavernor Alfred E. Smith’s popularity was so spontaneously and so enthusiastically attested, that any lingering doubt of his tremendous strength among those privileged to know him must certainly have been dispelled. : Governor's Day’ at the State Fair at Syracuse, attracted more than 50, 050 people from the rural districts, and proved to be one of the most fl.lpressive demonstrations ever accorded a presidential ' candidate. Azain and again throughout the day the fair grounds resounded with tun:ultuous cheers for the guest of honor. R:publican and Democrat joined in acclaiming the man who as Governor hid won the ardent friendship of the tarmers of his State. Labor Demonstration

At a meeting of the State Federation of Labor, in Rochester, the Governor's nams, uttered by William Green, President of the American Federation of Labor, brought an ovation almost unprecedented in a labor gathering. . Congratulating the State Federation upon having obtained “the bast body of labor laws of almost any State in the Union,” Mr. Green said he realized the State had been fortunate in having Mr. Smith as its Governor.

lastantly the 472 delegates and almost as many visitors were on stheir feet cheering wildly. For a long time, while the speaker waited, the demonstration continued. Then Mr. Green gaid:

“You have been fortunate indeed, in having as Governor one who was in full sympathy with your social justice program and who assisted in securing this legislation. Great Outstanding Figure

“l am glad that a study of the record shows that the working men and women in this State showed their appreciation by voting for him almost unanimously in every election in which he figured. “This great outstanding figure has now been called to a larger field. I am convinced that Governor Smith’s speech of acceptance and his reference to the abuse of injunctions has maile a deep impression on every indusirial State.

“It is the purpose of the American Federation of Labor to acquaint its members. with the speeches of acceptance of both candidates and their records in matters affecting labor, and then leave the subject to the political conscience of the working men and women of America. b

“And I am satisfied that when they go to the polls, they will stand by those who stood by them in their hours of need.” Endorses Governor Smith A resolution endorsing Governor fmith and calling upon labor everywhere to support him, was unanimously passed by the Committee on Resolutions of the State Federation. Another demonstration occurred at Syracuse, when Governor Smith addressed an almost solidly Republican audience -of 250 farm leaders, at a dinner given in his honor by Jerome D. Barnum, publisher of a Republican newspaper, the Syracuse Post Standard. S

Republican Editor Assails G. O. P. In Reply to Letter Asking Support

WASHINGTON.—The attitude of the intelligent Western farmer who has studied the causes of his present predicament, and who realizes what a continuance of the Coolidge policies would mean to him, is strikfngly set forth in a letter received by Herbert N. Strause, of the Republican Business Men, Inc., from Willis A. Wells, Republican editor of the Webster (S. Dak.) Journal, The South Dakota editor had been asked by Mr. Strause to support Herbert Hoover and to serd a reply which could be published. Here is the reply: “You request that I join the Republican Business Men, Inc., of your city, in promoting .he election of Mr. Hoover upon the sole ground that ‘he will carry out the Coolidge policies.’ Your plea leaves me as cold as the ice fields of a polar sea. : “As a Republican I enthusiastically decline to do any such fool thing. I am for Hoover just about as far as you can throw our party elephant by the pin feathers with your arm broken in four places. : _ “Out in the West, where men are mortgaged up to the eyebrows and

GEORGE WASHINGTON ON RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE

As a reply to the bigoted propaganda, attacking Governor Smith on religious grounds, which is being distributed through the South by various intolerant organizations, the Dembcratic Natidnal Committee has issued photostatic copies of a letter written by George Washingtor*' to the members of the New Church, a Baptist congregation, in Baltimore. In it, the “Father of the American Republic” said:

- . “We have abundant reason to rejoice that in this land the light ‘of truth and reason has triumphed over the power of bigotry and superstition, and that every person may here worship God according to the dictates of his own heart. “In this enlightened age and in this land of equal liberty it is our boast that a man’s religious tenets will not forfeit the protection of the laws, nor deprive him of the right of attaining and holding the highest offices that are known in the United States.”

VETERANS FOR SMITH

Say Hoover Ignored Disabled Soldlers; Attack Red-Tape and Bureaucracy; : Cite Governor's Record.

Endorsing Governor Alfred BE. Smith as a tried and true friend of the ex-service man, & group of formeér soldiers of national reputation, led by General Henry T. Allen, former Commander of the Army of Occupation, has formed the National Democratic Veterans Organization, to direct a campaign on behalf of the Democratic candidate among the veterans of the country.

Among those who attended the first meeting of the organization in New York were General Edward A. Logan of Boston, Commander of the New England Division in the world war; Major General John F. O’'Ryan of New York, Commander of the 77th Division; Major Bernard Ryan of Albion, N. Y.; Commander E. C. Kay and former Commander Wiiliam Jones of the Veterans of Foreign Wars; Major William F. Deegan, former Commander of the American Legion; Col. J. Monroe Johzson of Marion, S. C.; Col. John Noonan of Springfield, Mass., and James J. Hoey, vice chairman of the Democratic National Committee.

Replying to the ‘specious arguments” of Republican speakers that Governor Smith had been unfriendly to war veterans in criticizing the alleged economy of the Republican Administration, General Allen said: “Governor Smith in his speech of acceptance, instead of finding fault with the appropriation for ald of disabled war veterans, approved them. What he did criticize is the intolerable ‘red-tape, technicalities and bureaucracy’ which has marked the administration of these funds under Republican rule. ,

“In his speech of acceptance, Mr. Hoover completely ignored the plight of the disabled war veterans throughout the nation,

“That Governor Smith’s fullest sympathies arp with the war veterans and that he believes they deserve the fullest measure of asgistance from a grateful Republic, is shown by the fact that under his administration as Governor of New York State he signed legislation providing a liberal state bonus; special recognition under state civil service laws; providing an annual grant of $5OO a year to blind veterans of any American war who aré residents of New York State; and an appropriation of $10,000,000 for a state hospital for the sole care of New York’'s disabled veterans.”

the farm work begins at sunrise, we are so opposed to a continuance of the Coolidge policies that if I wrote you what I think it wouldn’t look good in print, and so I shall modify my expressions. “Under the Coolidge policies, which Mr. Hoover is pledged to continue, we have had more farm bankruptey and more rural distress than has existed since our pieneers came West in covered wagons and conquered the prairies. “You really have no realization of what these Coolidge policies have done to a great and flourishing agricultural section of the country. “Farm lands have depreciated $30,000,000,000 in value. Fifty thousand business men have gone broke. Four thousand rural banks have failed. - “While Coolidge was President, Congress, representing the people, passed farm relief bills twice and twice the man higher up vetoed them. That is the paramount Coolidge policy. We have been fooled twice. Don’t think, my Wall St. friend, you can do it again. “With kindest personal ‘regards, you are at liberty to publish this and go to the devil” A

"Hard to Account for : " Whims of Collectors . When Whistler was hard pressed for .money he took many of his etchings to the pawnbroker to obtain the wherewith to buy wine or rare Nankin china, being a connoisseur of the former and a collector of the latter, ‘says the Market for Exchange. " Rossetti devoted himself to old furpiture and Japanese bric-a-brac with the passion of the true collector. UnJAike Whistler, however, he knew how to hang on to money and drove a ‘hard bargain. His house was a combined miiseum and menagerie where raccoons, armadillos, salamanders and chameleons rummaged among rare ‘manuserips, books, pictures, musical instruments and furniture, The raccoon was finally disposed of after he had nibbled up some of the poet's manusecript, and a zebra which in the end proved dangerous met the same fate. There is, however, no account: ing for tastes; and the collector who specialized in nooses which had performed their duty and to which he attached the names of their tenants possessed, if not a more peculiar, cer tainly a more morbid taste than Ros settl, ' :

Odd Expressions That '~ 'Had Humovrous Origin

‘The tendency to run words together Jhas given the world some queer expressions, “Mimsy” is one of these “telescope” words that formerly was ever-ready to serve anybody in telling ‘how miserable and f{limsy anything might be. Now it has dropped out of ,Bight. “Chortle” is another started in ‘the same way, Lewis Carroll coining i as a combination of chuckle and, snort. A similar type of freak word is the “spoonerism,” originating, accordingz to’ Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, with William Archibald Spooner, an English churehman and educator, who had. a habit of unconsciously trans.posing the initial sounds or othes parts of two or more words. In addressing an audience he once put the ‘question, “Hpw many of you have a half-warmed fish in your heart?” Of course he intended to say, “A halfformed Wish.” Called as witness to ‘an assault he testified he had seen the idefendant deliver “a blushing crow” ‘upon one of the dons of’ his college -instead of “a crushing blow.”—Kansas City Times. i g

“Act of God” Legally

» “The legal meaning of act of God is any accident due to natural causes, directly and exclusively, .without human intervention, such as could not have been prevented by any amount of foresight, pains and care reason ably- to have been expected. Broadly, the term usually applies to natural accidents. such as those caused by lightning, floods, earthquakes and tempests. A severe snowstorm which blocked -up. railroads was held within this rule. Also, in a case where fruit tfrees were frozen in transit, it was held to be by the act of God when it was proved that there had been no improper delay on the part of the carrier, A

Knightly Armor

The weight of Gothic armor of the Fifteenth century wvaries considerably. For example, a specimen in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, weighs 49 pounds, one in Paris weighs 53, and a third in Vienna weighs 85. A complete suit or armor which belonged to Henry VIII of Eng--land and which is now in the Tower ‘of London, weighs 94 pounds. :

' _There is also in the Tower of Lon‘don at present a suit of armor! for jJousting that weighs 106 pounds. This, however, was a special defense ;worn for a brief period in the military Sport of the time.

Pointed Question

- Before the women’s golf champion‘ship was played, a certain course was ‘for some days infested by practicing ‘ladies. This gave much disgust to an old gentleman who went out daily to “have his hundred up. / : One morning, discovering that places ,were booked for two hours ahead by -women players, he observed loudly and for the benefit of a crowd of the ‘other sex, “Simply disgusting. I shall "joln a club for gentlemen only.” - A bright young thing standing near gave him a smile and observed, “What makes you think you'd be eligible?’— London Tit-Bits.

Unreasonable : “What did you quit down at the Gold-plated Securities for? I thought you had a good time there.” “I thought so, too, till I’'d been there a week. 1 was supposed to be secre tary to the vice president, but he was no vice president at all. Why, the poor nut only took two hours and a half for kinch and. sometimes he’d stick around till four in the afternoon. I couldn’t work for a man like that.” —Saturday Evening Post. ;
