Candidates Named by Governor ~ Smith—RNot One Affiliated ~ With Tammany. “ROOSEVELT SUPPORTED - - . BY REPUBLICAN PRESS ¥, s A distinctly favorable reaction te the nomination by the Democratic party of Franklin -D. Roosevelt for Governor of New York State is per ceived by political observers in al - most every State -of the Union. Nobody in New Ydrk has any doubt that he will be elected. One of the - most able and ‘most highly respected figures in the history of American poli tics, he is said to be "sure of the largest majority ever received by a candidate for Governor. His presence - on the Democratic' ticket, coupled |~ with the fact that he I 8 one of Gov ernor- Smith’s .closest friends,- leaves the Hoover forces without hope in the Empire Stiate. = - L - But what is of greater significance, since no well-informed person has ever doubted the Governor's ability to carry his own State, is the reaction to Mr. Roosevelt’s candidacy in the . 'West and South. His® consent to. become the nominee, at Governor .Smith’s request, has made ridiculous the “Tammany cry” with which Re publican campaizn managers have atfempted to influence voters in the districts unfamiliar with:- the Governor's racord. .

Tammany Not Rgpres.entcd / ' ~ Mr. Roosevelt has never been afiliated with Tammany Hall, nor any other political machine. In fact, not a single candidate on the State ticket, which was in actuality named from top to bottom by Governor Smith, has any conection with Tammany. New York Republican leaders acknowlelge that, unlike thelr own candid:ia who is linked with the big power iuterests, Mr. Roosevelt is invulnerahle to attack., A distinguished oficial of the Wilson Administration, in which he served as Assistant Sec retary of the Navy, and the Demo cratic candidate for Vice President in 1920, he consistently refused to run for Governor until pressed to do so by Governor Smith.

One signifiant reaction to vaernm Smith’s choice of a man of such char acter and reputation to succeced him at Albany is the defection of two strong. Hoover newspapers In New York, the Sun and the Telegram, both of which announced editorially that they would support the Democratic candidate for Governor. "~ To Preserve Smith ldeals

WARM SPRINGS, Ga.—Explaining why. he had consented to be drafted by the party leaders oft New York state, after his previous refusal -to accept the nomination for ' Governor, Franklin D. Roosevelt said:

“It was because they felt and I felt that the whole splendid structure of government - built up by Governor Smith and all the high ideals of service to the people which he had established were in peril that caused me to accept the nomination. A “That is something too important to let any personal considerations weigh in the slightest. I am in this fight not ‘to win personal honor, but for the carrying forward of the policies of Governor Smith.” .

5 z 4 , War-Time President Scorned Cry . That He was Tammany . -~ Candidate. . - WASHINGTON. — President Woodrow Wilson in 1918 urged his relatives ‘to vote for Alfred E. Smith, who was then a candidate for Governor of New York, and to work for his election. . The lincident was described to friends by Mrs. Rolfe E. Bolling, a sister-in-law of Mrs. Wilson, who now rgsides in Washington. . - “Mr. Bolling and I called on President and Mrs. Wilson during a Red Cross drive in the late summer of 1918, when we were living in New York. President Wilson asked if I had registered. I replied in the negative, -explaining that we had nof done 80 because we thought Mr. Smith was the candidate of Tammany Hall. “I will never forget how he looked at me and said in a very serious tone: "~ "‘Go - tomorrow and register ' and ‘both work and vote for Mr. Smith.’ . “We did,” added Mrs. Bolling, “and I feel that in voting for him again this year we are obeying ‘almost a solemn injunction.” e

FARM EDITOR FOR SMITH

Wallace, editor of Wallace's Farmer.
