Party Ticket In

NEW YORK, Oct,' t (Special) Al
fred E. Smith in his first article to
day as editor of the New Outlook
said:
'. . . The country Is set for a
change. I have already stated that I
sympathize with this view, and that
I believe the best interests of tho
country will be Berved by the success
of the Democratic party and the elec
tion of its ticket. . . .
"To all Intents and purposes the
campaign may be said to be over. The
real question Is what will the Demo
cratlc party do with its victory? A
change of government of Itself does
not Insure Improvement of conditions.
"On the other hand, the Democratic
party has the great advantage of a
liberal background and record. In
the past it has never failed to be
hospitable to new Ideas. . . .
"The first Issue to be decided is
what elements will control the Demo
cratic party, because It must be ad
mitted that the party Is not united
and that it Is composed of a number
or conflicting elements and Interests.
This was clearly Indicated at the re
cent Chicago convention.
"With some of the elements and
forces In the party, I am completely
out of sympathy, not for personal
reasons, but because I believe that
they are Inimical to the best Interest
of the country.
"In my opinion tho Democratic
party must purge Itself of these In
terests ir It Is to serve the nation In
this crisis."
"Wo should stop talking about the
forgotten man and about class dis
tinctions. . . . The forgotten man Is
a myth and the sooner ho disappears
from tho campaign tho bettor It will
be for tho country."
"In the course of the long period
which will undoubtedly elapse before
the eighteenth amendment Is repealed
or modified and In the face of the
urgent need of new and fairer sources
of taxation, the president still Insists
on kicking away the hundreds of mil
lions of dollars which could easily be
raised by a tax on beer and wine.
