Mercantile Library Ass'n WE arENGAN ATony Otellers just now asking us where The Outlook stands OUR feeling in the matter is that for WE believe-despite the manly atti- IN such a situation, it seems to us that UNDER such circumstances, for a So far, only one thing seems clear. If you regard the prohibition issue as paramount and want the Prohibition Law modified, it would be good sense to vote for Governor Smith-always granting that Mr. Hoover doesn't alter his views on the subject, and that you are not by tradition or temperament a member of the Republican Party. Vice-versa, if you want prohibition, as it is, given a better and longer trial, it would seem reasonable to vote for Mr. Hoover. Francis Profus Bellamy The Outlook Dubious Compliments July 25, 1928 The World This Week THE leading editor of Emporia, Kansas, and the Governor of New York have been exchanging dubious compliments. William Allen White began it by saying that Smith was a man of "unusual intelligence, splendid courage, and rare political wisdom," and then reviewed his record in such a way as to make him appear the champion of gambling, prostitution, and unrestricted sale of liquor. Governor Smith retorted that the Emporia editor must have been reading the propaganda sheets of one Rev. O. R. Miller, a professional reformer whom Smith characterized as a "parasite who makes his living. by circularizing false information." White, he said, "has more brains and ought to know better" than to make such charges. Mr. White's Charges "THE whole Puritan civilization which has built a sturdy, orderly Nation is threatened by Smith." "It is not that Governor Smith is a Catholic and wet," Mr. White explains, "which makes him an offense to the villagers and town dwellers, but because his record shows the kind of President he would make a Tammany President. He is a man of unusual intelligence, splendid courage, and a rare political wisdom, yet he has a curious record. He has risen on that record to a place of great power, but chiefly by the aid of Tammanies, big or little, in great cities." In a review of that record, Mr. White said, according to the Associated Press despatch summarizing an address of his at Olathe, Kansas, that Governor Smith had voted ten times against allowing the people to vote on any sort of restriction on the sale of liquor, four times against stopping gambling and prostitution in connection with saloons, three times against repealing the law for keeping the saloons open on Sunday, four times in favor of removing zoning restrictions which would keep open saloons from churches and schools, and three times in favor of laws sponsored by organized gambling associations. Governor Smith's Reply WITH promptness and in evident anger, Governor Smith replied to these charges specifically: "Let's just take the worst thing he says: 'Four times in the Legislature Smith voted against stopping gambling and prostitution in connection with saloons.' "What kind of a statement is that for a sane person to make? Was there ever any law in this State to let gambling and prostitution go on in a saloon? Was it ever necessary to adopt a bill to stop it?" The Governor read: "Three times against repealing the law keeping the saloons open on Sunday," and he replied: "There never was such a bill introduced in this Legislature. How many of you men who have been around here for years ever knew of such a bill of that kind? "Now he talks about a bill to remove zoning restrictions which would keep open saloons some distance away from churches and schools. Here is the story of that: In 1911 the Court of Appeals handed down a decision which, in effect, Isaid that if a saloon and a hotel with a liquor license established itself before a church was built and a church afterward came within 200 feet, that liquor license could not be renewed. That was never intended by the original drafters of the Raines Law. The effect of it would have been to close up the bar in the Hotel Astor, the Hotel Knickerbocker, and the Waldorf after the hotels had been built and in operation, provided somebody established a school or church within 200 feet of it. The Court of Appeals in its decision said the Legislature would have to correct it, that they could not have it in any other way, and the Legislature corrected it. That is the story of that." Governor Smith then read the following from a memorandum: "Three times he voted for laws favored by organized gambling and refused to go on record as voting for a bill against bribing laborunion leaders." Governor Smith then commented: "I have no record or anything on it. It must be I was absent. But I understand it was some twenty-four or twentyfive years ago that it happened, and I have no recollection of it.” He ascribed these charges as having been disseminated by a Rev. O. R. Miller, whom he called, "a parasite living on the people of the State of New York by circularizing false information," and he called him "revered for nothing." When reminded that these charges were made by William Allen White, the Democratic nominee answered, "He has more brains and ought to know better." Mr. White's Rejoinder WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE denied that he had ever heard of the man Miller, and declared that he had got his information from New York newspapers. Moreover, Mr. White added: "Because Al Smith is smart, because he has brains, because he hates the Volstead Act and the Eighteenth Amendment he is dangerous. He will not wait for a dry Congress.. The undertakers are looking wistfully already at three members of the United States Supreme Court, and with Al Smith we should have in that Court as quickly as he could name them three of the most brilliant lawyers from the |
