eutatlon of the Democratic party's
Position ou the tariff, Governor (smith
declared:
I No Business Upheaval
"The Democratic party doca not aud
under my leaderehlp will not advocate
.tny sudden or drastic revolution tn
j our economic system which would
cauMe business upheaval or popular
distress.
! "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

scientific. Bach state would then b?

"Our Canadian neighbors," he said,

Saloon Wont Return
? "There le no question here of the return
of the saloon. When I stated thai

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?
Men, the proper care of maternity,
infancy and childhood, and. the encouragement
of activities wfciejh ad
