"The Democratic party aunda squarely for the maintenance of legltl. mute buslnoss and a high atandurd of wages for American labor. "Pay no attentlou to the Republican propaganda and accept my assurance as the leader of our party that Democratic tariff legislation will be honest," j he declared. "It will play uo favorites, j It will do Justice to every element In the nation." He said foreign policy has Its roots In the approval of the majority of the people and that he regarded It as a paramount duty to keep alive the Interest of the people in Questions of foreign policy and to advise the electorate as to facts. He promised to tress the necessity for restoration of cordial relations with Latin-America. The Republican administration haa signally failed In its endeavor to remove the causes of war, he continued. "I pledge uyself to a resumption of a real endeavoj^ to make the outlawry of war effective by removing Its causes end to substitute the methods of conciliation, conference, arbitration, and judicial determination," he declared. The President has two duties with respect to the prohibition question, he aid. "The first Is embodied In his oath of office," he went on. "If with one hand on the Bible and the other hand reaching up to Heaven, I promise the people of this country that 'I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States and to the best of my ability preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States/ you may be sure that I shall live up to that oath to the last degree. "I shall to the rery limit execute the' pledge of our platform 'to make an honest endearor to enforce the 18th amendment and all other provisions of the Federal Constitution and all laws enacted pursuant thereto/" The Governor promised "ruthlessly to stamp out" the present corruption in prohibition enforcement. "Such conditions cannot and will not exist under any administration presided over by me," he asserted. Continuing, he said: "The second constitutional duty Imposed upon the President is 'to recommend to the Congress such measures as he shall Judge necessary and expedient.' "I shall 'advise the Congress in accordance with my constitutional duty or whatever changes I deem *neeeasary car expedient/ It will then be tor the people and the representatives la the national and state legislature to determine whether these changes shall be made/* "I believe in tempes&nce," he con, tinued. "We have not achieved temperance under the present system. The mothers and fathers of young men and women throughout land know the anxiety and worry which has bees brought to them by their children's use of lRffcor in a way which was unknown before prohibition. I believe In reverenee for law. Today disregard of the prohibition laws Is insidiously sapping respect for all law. I < raise, therefore, what I profoundly $e$eve to be a great moral issue Involving the righteousness of our na Clonal conduct, and the protection of our children's morals." The remedy is to be found In the' fearless application or Jeffersonlao principles, he continued, to allow for different habits afcd Custom* of differ ; * eat parts of the country. v "Some immediate relief would come from an amendment to the Volstead low giving o scientific definition of th< alceheUe content off an intoxicating beverage," he said. "The present defi nltion is admittedly Inaccurate and un scientific.

"Our Canadian neighbors," he said, "have gone far in this manner to solve thii problem by the method pt sale made by the state-ltaslf and not by * private individuals. ? ;i >r Saloon Wont Return ? "There le no question here of the return of the saloon. When I stated thai the saloon 4t and ought to M a de fnnct institution in this country* 1 meant ft. I mean it tfcrtlay. I will never advocate or approve any law which directly or Indirectly permits tha re - turn of the saloon." v "This country cannot be a healthy, strong# economic body If one off Its 1 Coal auy soon be mined with frostn gee as a substitute for powder. v * - - -j members, ho fundamentally Important as agriculture, in Hick almost to the point of ecouomlc death," said Oovernor Smith, taking up the aubject of farm relief. The ttcpubitcan n<ltnlnl?l?uilou ha* made many promise# of legislation to aid the farmer, but has kept none of lliettt, lte continued. "The utrtii is ineffective ou corn* modUle# of which there 1? exportable surplus without controlled sale of the surplus." said Governor Smith. "Our platform points the way to make the tariff effective for crops of which we produce a surplus. "Co-operative, coordinated marketing and warehousing of surplus farm products Is essential Just as coordinated, co-operative control of the flow of capital was found necessary to the regulation of our country's finances. "Our platform declares for the development of co-operative marketing and an earnest endeavor to solve the problem of the distribution of the cost of dealing with crop surpluses over the marketed unit of the crop whose producers are benefited by such assistance. Only the mechanics remain to be devised. I propose to substitute action for Inactlqn und friendliness for hostility, in my administration of the * government of my state, whenever 1 was confronted with a problem of this character, 1 called into conference those best equipped on the particular subject In hand. 1 shall follow that course with regard to agriculture. Farmers and farm leaders with such . constructive aid as will come from sound economists and fair-minded leaders of finance and business must work out the details. There are varying plauB for the attainment of the end which is to be accomplished. Such plans should be subjected , at once to searching, able and fair-minded analysis, because the interests of all require that the solution shall be economically sound." Will Call Conference Governor Smith then promised to summon an agricultural conference to work out the solution, saying: "If I aha elected, 1 shall Immediately after election ask leaders of the type I hare named, Irrespective of party, . to enter upon this task. I shall Join with them ih the discharge of their duties during the coming winter and present to Congress Immediately upon its convening the solution recommended by the body of men best fitted to render this signal service to the nation. 1 shall support the activities of this body until a satisfactory law is placed upon the statute books." On the subject of transportation Governor Smith said he believed In encouraging the construction and use df modern highways to carry the short haul of small bulk commodities and to | aid in marketing farm product*. j Also of great importance, he said, is the development of transportation bf our waterways, which are still in a highly undeveloped state. 'Linked with waterways development is the control of floods, the governor said. He declared that the two Republican administrations had waited for the Mississippi flood of last year Instead of taking leadership in this important work. "The money actually appropriated for flood relief is too small to make even a start," Governor Smith asserted. "Too npich time has been spent in squabbling over who shall pay the bill.** Governor - Smith pledged himself "to ? progressive, liberal conservatSan policy based upon the some principles which I have given my eupport in the fttate of New York," and to fight against selfish aggression "wherever it appears and Irrespective of whom It may Involve." 3 "tile-sources of water power moat remain forever under public ownerahip and control," he said. 1 3 pebeflt* growing from the development of water power as an incident to the regulation of the Colorado River should he "equitably dlstributad among the states having right of own erehlp," Governor Smith declared. ~ ~ It would be the policy of his administration to develop a method of operation for Muscle Shoals which woUld reclaim for the government some fair revenua from the enormous expendt1 tare already made, be said. L ,Red tape and autocratic bureauoracy should be brushed aside to caring for veterans to distress, Governor Smith said. Likewise, he said hf would continue his sympathetic Interest to the advancement of progressive I IjfclpiaMnn for working men and wo?
