Millions Listen In As millions listened in by radio the new leader of the Democrats advocated modification of both ! the Volstead law and the Eigh- teenth Amendment; reiterated that he would give the problem of controlling crop surpluses his immediate attention, if elected; as- sailed Administration's Nicarag- uan and Mexican policy and pledg- ed himself to a "real" endeavor to outlaw war, He also called for a reorganiza- that neither he nor the Democratic party contemplated "sudden or drastic" changes in tariff sched- ules; reaffirmed his stand for pub- lic ownership and control f water poower; promised a square deal for war veterans; stressed the need for inland waterway development, reforestation and conservation of natural resources, and advocated "progressive legislation for the protection and care of working men and women." Immigration Law 'While standing "squarely" on the Democratic platform declara- tion for restrictive immigration, the nominee asserted that he was "heartily in favor of removing from the immigration law the harsh provision which separates families," and was "opposed to the principle of restriction based upon the figures of immigrant popula+ tion contained on a census years old." Opposed to Saloon Halfway through his address, which ke had prepared with the idea of completing its delivery within an hour, Governor Smith tackled the prohibition question» He never will advocate or approve any law, he said, which directly or indirectly permits the return of the saloon. Sale of intoxicants by State agencies was proposed as an alternative, 38. Declaring that the President of the United States has two cznsti- tutional' duties with respect to pro- hibition--enforcement of the law, and a determination of what changes, if any, should be recom- mended to Congress--the nominee made this pledge: "I shall, to the very Umit, exe- cute the pledge of our platform, 'to make an honest endeavor to enforce the Righteenth Amend- ment and all other provisions of the Federal Constitution, and all laws enacted pursuant thereto.' Then he added: "The President does not make the laws. He does his best to execute them, whether he likes them or not. The corruption in enforcement ac- tivities which caused a former Re- publican prohibition Administra- tor to state that three-fourths of the dry agents were political ward heelers, named by politicians with- out regard to civil service laws, and that prohibition 1s the 'new political pork barrel,' I will ruth- lessly stamp out. Such conditions cannot and will not exist under any Administration presided over by me." Insisting that the present legal definition of the glcoholic content of an intoxicating beverage is "ad- mittedly 1 ate and unscientif- ie," Governor Smith expressed the view that 'some Immediate relief would come from an amendment to the Volstead law," which would permit each State to fix its own standard of alcoholic content, "subject: always to the proviso that that standard could not ex- ceed the maximum fixed by Con- gress," "I believe, moreover, that there should be submitted to the people the question of some change in INVINCIBLE '| all parts of . the «t af is OUR SPECIALTY It your Watch is not giving satisfaction we can repair and make it tell the correct time D.

"Certainly, no one foresaw, when the amendment was rati- fied. the conditions which exist today of bootlegging, corruption and open violation of the law in country, The people themselves should, after this eight years of trial, be permit- ted to say whether existing condi- tions should be rectified, Would Modify 18th Amendment "I personally believe in an amendment to the Eighteenth Amendment which would give to each individual State itself, only after approval hy a referendum, popular vote of {its people, the right, wholly within its borders, to import, manufacture or cause to ba manufactured anl sell alcoholic beverages, the sale to he made on- ly by the State itself and not for consumption in any public place. We may well learn from the' experience of other nations. Our Canadian neighbors have gone far in this manner tn solve this prob- lem by the method of sale maae by the State itself and not for con- cumption in any public place. "There is ho question here of the return of the saloon. When I stated that the saloon {is and ought to he a defunct institution in his country, I meant it, I mean it today, I will never advocate or approve any law which directly or indirectly permits the return of the saloon," Declaging that he, believed the solution he proposes would he that "which would today he of- fered by Jefferson, or Jackson, or Cleveland or Wi{lson," Governor Smith pointed out that "the plat- form of my party is silent upon any question of change of the law." "I personally believe there should be change," he added, "and I shall advise Congress. in accord- ance with my constitutional duty of whatever changes I deem nge- essary or expedient.' It will then be for the people and the represen- tatives in the National and State legislatures to determine whether these changes should be made." Turning to the armament prob- lem, the Democratic standard- bearer announced that he propos. ed "to substitute action for inac- tion, and friendliness for hostili- ty," in dealing with the question. Recalling that President Cool- idge twice vetoed the McNary- Haugen bill passed by a Republi- can Congress, Smith said that "whether the veto of that specifi? measure was right or wrong, it is undisputed that no adequate sub- stitute was ever recommended to Congress by the President, and that no constructive plan of re- lief was ever formulated by any leader of the Republican party." Protecting Farm Products Emphasizing the need for eco- operative, co-ordinated marketing and warehousing of surplus farm products, the nominee expressed the view that the Democratic plats form "points the way to make the tariff effective for crops of which: we produce a surplus." "Only the mechanics remain to be devised," said Smith, reaffirm- ing an intention of seeking the aid of farmers. economists and leaders in finance and business in the working out of an "economi- cally sound" solution gf the prob- lem of bandling crop surpluses. At the outset of his speech thé Democratic candidate attacked prosperity claims, declaring that the "Republican party builds its case on a myth." . "The claim of Governmental economy i as baseless as the claims that general prosperity ex- ists," he added, "and that it can exist only under Republican ad- ministration." Governor Smith assailed the Republican Administration also for failisgy to carry out Goverm- mental re-organization plans, took a shot at the Fordmey-McCumber | tariff law, and declared that the Tariff Commission had ceased to function. "Pay mo attention to the Re-, publican propaganda," counselled Smith, "and accept my assurance, as the leader of our party, that Democratic tariff legislation will . It will play mo favor- iit will do justice to every clement in the nation." i ssn 3 Kdmisisrpon's Cine-Kodak movies of your * vacation trip will be almost as enjoyable on your return as was the trip itself, It's easy to take movies with Cine-Kodak -- the mere pressure of a button does the trick.

Governor Smith declared that the "usefulness' ' of arbitration treaties as deterrents of war had been materially impaired by the reservations asserted by various nations of the right to wage de- fensive wars, as those reservations are interpreted in the light of President Coolidge's record. "I believe the American people Wesire to assume their full share of a world of which they are a part' without political alliance with any foreign nation," sald the nominee. "I pledge myself to a resumption of a real endeavor to make out- lawry of war effective by removing its causes, and to substitute the ethods of conciliation, confer. ence, arbitration and judicial de- termination." In his discussion of transporta- tion, the nominee said that in- creased rallway and terminal ef- ficiency in the handling of meces- sities, Improvement of highways for short haul of small bulk com- modities, and development of in- land waterways would ald in bringing down living costs. For "All-American" Waterway He recalled that, as governor of New York, he had expressed a preference for the so-called all- American waterway route, through that State, In preference to the St. Lawrence . project from the Great Lakes to the sea. Reports favoring both routes have 'heen challenged, he said, adding that he would consider it his duty as Pres- ident to restudy the question "im- partially." Touching on Mississippl flood relief, the nominee expressed the view that the amount appropriat- ed for this work by Congress was "too small to make even a start." An ounce of prevention," he observed, "is worth a pound of first aid and relief." id The Governor referred to the proposed development of the Col- orado River, which has been a subject of controversy, revolving around the Boulder Dam bill, in the river basin and In Congress for several years, declaring: "I am of the opinion that the best results would flow from the Tells Skiony Men How to Gain Weight Money Back If You Don't If the flat chested man whose ribs are almost bursting thru his skin doesn't try to make himself look like a real mam, no one else will.

He also said that undoubtedly legislation should be framed to meet just causes for complaint in regard to the unwarranted issu- ance of. injunctions in labor dis- putes. Near the conclusion of his speech the Democratic nominee made this declaration: "I can with complete honesty make the state- ment that my nomination was brought about by no promise given or implied by me or any one in my behalf. 1 will not be influenced in appointments by the question of a person's wet or dry attitude, by whether he imrich or poor, wheth- er he comes from the north, south, east or west, or by what church he attends in the worship of God."
