MITH GHALLENGE " BEP. CANDIONTE

CHARGES MISSTATEMENT IIN HOOVER’S SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE SOYE TIME AGO.

Asks Nominee to Prove Statement of Seven Years of Republican Honesly in Offi.ce

Governor Smith turns eastward today after having thrown a vigorous challenge at Helena, Montana, to his republican opponent, Herbert Hoover to prove in the face of ‘“corruption and crime” in high government circles, the assertion in his speech of acceptance that the republican party’s record during t"he last seven and a half years “constitutes a period of rare courage and leadership and constructive action.”

With party responsibilities as his text and a state next door to Teapot Dome as hs battleground, the democratic nominee in his fourth speech of the campaign lasi night traced the history of the oil veterans bureau aund alien property custodian disclosures, and directed a plea to the republican nominee whom he charged with sitting silently by during the enactment of this gtory “‘of intrigue and corruption” to show how he can look back with any degree of satisfaction on that record.

Governor Smith delivered his speech in a crowd filled Shrine Temple which applauded him at frequent intervals, especially when he concluded by saying that it “would be exceptionally harmful if theAmer ican people were willing to look back complacently over that past and call it a record of great accomplishment..’ g

Party Leaders Present.

Senator Thomas J. Walsh, who prosecuted the oil inquiries, and Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who had a leading part in the Daugherty investigation sat on the platform and joined in the handclapping at important junctures of the speech. Governor John Erickson, of Montana, also sat near the candidate, who today starts the iong jump back to his native state of New York with two more speecheson his schedule—at St, Paul Thursday night and at Milwaukee Saturday night. : After attending the New York state convention at Rochester next Monday he will return to Albany and rest the remainder of the week before taking the stump again. .

Governor Smith opened his address with a reference to the dispatch quoting Mr. Hoover as telling a group of young students from Maryland that the new generaticn “must begin now to take over the responsibilities of the party and to carry it out.” He then recited the long history of the oil and other investigations, declaring the sworn testimony that came

out of the investigation of the leasing of the oil reserves, was a ‘“story of intrigue, of corruption, of trickery and of chicanery that has never bheen equalled in all the history of this nation.’ L

Hoover Remains Silent.

“Not only does the evil influence of this whole deal contaminate the administration, but it disgraces party leadership,” he asserted adding that “nobody in the United States can say there is no party .responsibility for that. That’s right on the doorstep. 1t couldn’t get away if it tried.” “Is the- record the real record of the past seven and a hali years known to the republican candidate for president?” he asked and then continued.

“Why, there is not a single man in this country that knows it better than he does. He sat in the cabinet of the president while all offthis was going on, and you can search that record from one end to the other and you will fail to find a single word of con, demnation on his part.” ' Flays Treasury Seeretary. Governor Smith also trained his guns on the secretary of the treasury whom he charged with *“concealing knowledge” from the senate committee that traced $260,000 in Liberty bonds, profit from the Continental Trading company oil transaction, to republican campaign coffers to help cover a deficit hanging over from that party’s 1920 presidential campaign. = :

“He was unwilling to become a party to that deal, he got the stench of oil and he gave his check for $50,000 but declined to take the bonds,” the governor said, “Honorable enough” , he said, “but this must be said: during all the period that the senate committee was endeavoring to unfold this crooked- deal before 'the people of the United States, he had the knowledge and could have given it. He chose to conceal it.” ik «Jf there was anybody in the country who was ready to say that the republican party should bear no responsibility for this,” the nominee declared “they must be prepared to say aside from the guilt of individuals or persons it is all right for a political

He was arrested with twenty-four other men in a round-up and an alleged band of criminals by Chicago police. :

Since the date of the siaying, Nov1, authorities have been working with only a tag found in a hat, as a clue. The hat was lost from an automobile in which the bandits escaped. The tag was for a car left at Calumet City, 111., garage and the proprietor has identified Stanley as the man to whom it was given.

“1 believe” he asserted near the end of his address, “that it would he exceedingly harmful to the morals of the youth of the country if in the face of that record the American people on the sixth of November were to put their stamp of approval on it It would be harmful if they were to agree that that record indicates moral leadership and progressive reform.

~ U. B, Church Notes. At a meeting of the superintendent’s cabinet on Tuesday several shifts were made in pastors. Rev. F. A. Risley was transferred to the South Wayne Avenue United Brethren Chureh Fort Wayne. This church is one of our new churches. It is nine years old and has a church plant worth $lOO,OOO and has its organization to the latest in modern Sunday Scheol work and the churchmen of Fort Wayne recoginze that South Wayne church is a congregration that is up and doing things. Rev. Risley’'s dgoing to this .rta

Rev. Risley’s going to this church is a matter that has been planned for over two years. Rev. Risley and family belonged to that church before his pastorate in Ligonier. He was a personal friend of Rev. M. K. Richardson who build up the congregation and church. In fact the only pastor the church ever had. The frienships that were made in the local church ripened between Rev. Risley and the members of thatec hurch until there became an insistant demand that

!w-hen Rev. Richardson left that they 'wonted Rev. Risley as their pastor. ! Rev. Richardson goes to Detroit. Another interesting connection is that the Ligonier church gave the first $5OO for that church. South Wayne gave one of their members as pastor to Ligonier two years ago now the Ligonier pastor goes to take up the leadership. o - : Rev. Cecil R. Smith comes to the Ligonier church from a very successful pastorate at Decatur. He built up a leading Sunday school of that city. He has been vice president of the christian endeavor forces in St. ’Joseph',conference for seven years, ‘during which time St. Joseph young people have nearly reached the leadiing place in the denomination. His Sunday school at Decatur jumped un‘der his pastorate from 150 to an aver)age in the three years of more than 250.
