NOTED CLERIC FLAYSBIGOTRY Dr. Henry Van Dyke Declares Defeat of Smith Would Be “National Calamity.” ASSAILS SECRET PROPAGANDA Warning American voters that sin ister and secret forces are threaten ing the very foundation upon which our Government is built, Dr. Henry Van Dyke, eminent educator, Presby terian clergyman, author and diplo mat has Issued, from his home at Seal Harbor, Me., a ringing appeal for re ligious tolerance. Dr. Van Dyke who holds degrees from Princeton, Harvard, Yale, Penn- eylvania University, Union College mnd Oxford University Is perhaps one of the best-known of living writers and clergymen. In a formal state ment, he aald: “At the present moment there Is on foot In these United States a wide spread cabal to keep one of the can didates for the Presidency from elec tion because he is a member of the Catholic Church. The other candi date has handsomely disavowed any personal share in the sentiments or arguments which characterize this 'Cabal. This is much to his credit “But unfortunately he can not, or at least he does not, restrain and check the pernicious activity of his supporters, who are convinced that the end of a victory for their party juatlfles any means which they em ploy to secure it. “Hence, if their candidate should be elected, he would owe his election In part to the religious prejudice and - aati-Catholic enmity which the cabal* lata have stirred up and marshalled to the polls. This would be a mis fortune for him, and a calamity for our country as the home and citadel of religious liberty. T Mott Important Issue c “The mere prospect of such a ca lamity ought to move the hearts of true Americans and honest Christiana 'with dismay, and awaken their minds to serious thought and earnest action fu defense of that real freedom of conscience which is the hard-won crowning glory of America and the dearest jewel of Christianity. “That seems to me far and away the most important Question before "the country today,—a question not to he answered by heated appeals to •artisan allegiance,—a question not raised* thank God. by either of the honorable candidates for the Presl- deacy, but a burning question thrust •pan the conscience of every Amer ican voter by the overt fulmlnations ami covert whisperings of those who to defeat one of the candidates he is a Catholic. Hy Protestantism is obedient to who said* *Reader unto Caesar things that art Caesar's and to the things that art God's.’ My which la hereditary of William of Orange, Is (fed's province.* My Americanism, which Is a stout growth of eight native-born generations, tells me that to vote against a man because of his church- membership is to be untrue to ths central faith of the Republic. “Freedom of conscience Is the greatest thing at stake In this cam paign. Hundreds of thousands of vot ers fail to realize It. It Is time to blow a trumpet to awaken the sleepers. The Palladium of the Republic Is attacked by secret and open foes. It is in danger, trem bling In its marble hail. The spiritual call to arms goes out to every man and woman. Defend the religious Liberty of America!” BLAINE ADVISES BOLT Republican Senator in Wisconsin De clares Voters Must End Corruption; Says Friend* Are for Smith. MILWAUKEE, WIS., — RepubUcan leaders, disheartened by the tremen dous reaction to the recent speech of United States Senator John J. Blaine, in which he bitterly criticized the last two Republican administrations and lauded Governor Smith, have practi cally given up all hope of swinging Wisconsin to Hoover. Senator Blaine, a former Governor of Wisconsin, and one of the State’s popular Republican leaders, declared in an address at Burlington: “I have no doubt that my friends and supporters are going to vote for Governor Smith. We must condemn Republican silence on the scandals of the Harding Administration as an ac cessory after the fact The thing to do is to end corruption by voting for Governor Smith.” BUTLER ATTACK IS COSTLY TO 6.0.

The firtt^hon- 4red are the hardest, toys Lomta The unqualified repudiation of Her bert Hoover by Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, President of Columbia Univer sity, and President of the Carnegie Endowment Foundation for Interna tional Peace, has proved, political ob servers say, one of the most stagger ing blows suffered in the present cam paign by the Republican forces. Although many prominent Repub licans have renounced allegiance to their party since Hoover's nomination, none, it is conceded, has influenced so many votes. A highly esteemed leader in Repub lican party affairs since 1887, Dr. But ler has attended every Republican na tional convention for 40 years. In 1912, following the death of Vice Pres ident Sherman, who had been renomi nated, Dr. Butler became the Repub lican candidate for Vice President. He was one of his party’s most prominent candidates for the nomination for Pres ident in 1924. The reaction to his ringing disavow al of the principles enunciated by Hoo ver In his acceptance speech was Im mediate *and nation wide. His bold and unequivocal declaration that he could not support a candidate whd ad mitted himself to be In favor of the "continuance of the present reign of lawlessness, debauchery and. Govern ment-made crime” brought thousands of letters of congratulation from other dissatisfied Republicans. Ib a scathing letter, addressed to the editor of the New York Times, Dr. Butler declared he wished to dis sociate himself "quickly, publicly and completely on positions on two of the three most important questions now before the American people that were taken by Mr. Hoover In hi* speech of acceptance.” ' Noted Authority Dr. Butler, who has long been in de mand by learned bodies as a speaker on questions relating to internation al relations and the promotion of world peace, ridiculed Hoover for his "wholly false argument” that the squandering of enormous sums on na val armament would cooperate In the maintenance of peace. “The contrary is now the well- demonstrated fact,” asserted the edu cator. “Mr. Hoover dismiaaea with a few perfunctory words the truly re markable treaty just now to be signed by ourselves and jail the great powers of the earth pledging renunciation of war as an instrument of national poli cy.” He added that Hoover's position was mere "swagger." He criticised Hoover for "accepting the formula of that paid band of agi tators* lobbyists jand persecutors which calls itself^the Anti-Saloon League,” and asserted that it ia “quite obvious that Mr. Hoover hat no con ception of the real problem by which the country is faced.” “That problem,” averred Dr. Butler, “has not to do with liquor, not with •Kjal experiments, good,, bad or in different, but with the structure and functions of the Government of the United States.” Accusing the Republican candidate of "hypocrisy” and “contradiction” which “would be comic were it not so unspeakably tragic,” the educator declared: "No one can be in favor of the principles upon which our Govern ment rests, or of the Constitution it self, and at the same time in favor of the Eighteenth Amendment, because the two are absolutely contradictory." “Literally millions of Republicans throughout the country,” Dr. Butler asserted, are "in full agreement” with him. HOOVER FARM STATEMENT CALLED “CLEVER DELUSION” “A very pretty 'Christmas tree for the American farmer, covered with glistening tinsel and little Christmas bells, but without presents—in other words, a clever delusion.” That is how Herbert Hoover’s state ment on Agriculture is described by William Hirth, of Columbia, Mo., pub lisher of the Missouri Farmer, and chairman of the Corn Belt Committee. Mr. Hirth adds: “Mr. Hoover’s message to Agricul ture constitutes a lot of cleverly put together bunk that will not fool the thinking farmers of this country. When he admits that after eight years of uninterrupted power the Republi can party has failed to meet what he now says is the ’most urgent eco nomic problem in our Nation’ he Is caught in his own bd^r trap—how can he confess this indictment against his party in one breath, and then have the nerve to ask the farmers for his vote in the next?” NORTH CAROLINA FOR SMITH, SAYS DANIELS _ -RALEIGH, N.
