(Copyright, 1928, by Btur Co.) I ' 10 this country tlie most 1111-1 portimt flight imule thus far is i Art Ooobol's non-stop trip from j Los Aiigck's on the 1'iiuific to j 3jip,nt? Island 011 the Atlantic. : Ooebel made the flight in less j than 19 hours, reducing the ree- j ord by eight hours. With the Panama Canal we ; 110 longer send fleets around ; South America. Battleships go j from New York throu h the ! Panama Canal to Sun Fran cisco, or vice versa, in less than two weeks. The battleship is now a joke on which our country spends millions because those that make the battleships need the money. The real defense and attack, as British experiments have proved, is the airship. We know now that we could i bring an nil- fleet from the Pa ' ti Fits to the Atlantic, or vice versa, for defense or attack tvithin 24 hours. -..I fi. .,, ,,,i(li U.-.0..1-0 ' tieR 0,1 n business basis; declared heu Oocrnor Smith speaks ; that 110lthm. he tho denK,rB0 to a radio audience of 70,000,- party contemplated "sudden or nun . t in- ......; .1,1 u, :- I drastic" changes in tariff sched 000 at Albany tonight, the eit , , rcafnnno , tHlld foi. mb. will, be decorated with flags i and thousands of Smith admir ers will be decorated with der by lints.

This reactionary eleniont seeks to vlndioate the theory uf benevolent oligarchy. It assumes that- a material.- prospor-; ity. the very existence of which is cluilleliKCd, is an excuse for politi cal inequality. It makes the con cern of the government, not people, but material things. I have fought this spirit in my own slale. I havo had to fight II and to beat it, In order to place upon the statute books .every one of the proKressive, humane laws 'for whose enactment I assumed re ! measures pr.uceuns ine rigins oi j the people, including Hie poor and i'be wink, un.l a just regard for ! the rights of legitimate business, 1 great or small.

I emphasize my belief that legltl- -'- ' I lioiw I welfare, let mo warn the ! forces of corruption and favorit- ''. that democratic victory j means that they will bo relegated i to the rear and the front seats, will ; be occupied by friends of equal opportunity. In the ruined honesty of Orover Cleveland there originated one of our party's greatest principles: "Public office In a public trust." That principle now takes on new meaning. Political parties are the vehicle for carrying out the pojw- will. Wc place responBlbility upon the party. The republican 1 party today slunds responsible for widespread dishonesty that has ! noneycomnco na uuministration. During the last presIdontlHl iti the AmtMlcan peoplt lo buliev,; that tlic.vc Hins should be charged ogulnst tho Individual rathor than uguhiMt lthc party.

The democratic party asks thu electorate to withdraw their confi dence from the republican party and repose It with the democratic parly pledged to continue those standards of unblemished Integrity which rhftrue tcrized every act of the administration of Wood row Wilson. Hut I would not rest our claim for the confidence of the American people alone upon the misdeeds of tho opposite party. Ours must be a constructive eumputgn. I'ale Prosperity and rnemplnymeilt The republican purly builds its ease upon a myth. We arc told that only under the benevolent administration of that party can the country enjoy prosperity.

Those close to the governor thought, he would hold out for Ihc outdoor ex ercises unless the rain turned Into a downpour and scattered the thou sands who were expected to stand on the lawns and bordering streets to hear the speech. An emergency radio hookup had been Installed In the assembly room to carry the speeches to the outside world nnd emergency tele, graph instruments also were hook ed uii for the newspaper men.

Doors of the assembly chamber also were taken ot f to allow a more free influx. An ante-chatn-her, with luwo divans around Its walls and nrfordlng a view ol the chambers dins, could take care of lOh or more. Amplifiers were left In their places on the outside platform and around I he surrounding st reels, now displaying banners and flags, and the crowds that hail been pour ing into the city all day were stay ing Indoors, stuffing up hotel lob hies and ilininT halls.
