AL SMITH
"I At mo make myself perfectly clear. 1 do not want any Cath
olic In the United States of America to vote for me on the 6th of
November because I am a Catholic. If any Catholic In this coun
try believes that the welfare,' the well-being, the prosperity, the
growth and the expansion of the United States Is best conserved
and best promoted by the election of Hoover, I want him to vote
for Hoover and not for me." f '
"Hut, on the other hand," he continued, "f have the rU;ht to
say that any citizen of thifl country that bolieves f can promote
Its welfare, that I am capable of steering the ship of state safely
through the next four years and then does' not vote for me because
of my religion, he Is not a -real, pure genuine American." Al
Smith In Oklahoma speech.
Thut is good, sound doctrine, to which the Mail-Tribune, us
an ardent supporter of Herbert Hoover, heartily subscribes.
Jt is precisely because Ave believe "that the welfare, the
well-being, the prosperity, the growth and expansion of the
United States is best conserved and best promoted,' by the
election of Mr. Hoover, that we are giving him our support, and
urging our readers to do likewise.
It is because we believe Mr. Hoover is better qualified, by
training, character and experience to promote this country's
welfare, and is more capable of steering the ship of state safely
through the next four years, that we aro for him.
In bis passionate appeal for the upport of those who believe
he is the best man for the job, but refuse to give him their
votes solely on religious 'grounds, Governor Smith stands on the
solid rock of religious freedom, the corner stone of American
institutions and rue Democratic government.
AND WRONG
To that portion of his speech we can say without qualifica
tion "Amen!" But when Governor Smith attempts by innu
endo and insinuation, to convince the people of this country
that the Republican party, as a party, is opposing him on these
grounds, wc not only don't agree, but wc consider him guilty of
the same tactics he used in his reply to William. Allen 'White,
he is adopting the methods he condemns iu his opponents, and
seeks to fasten on them.
That there is religious prejudice in this country .110 one
denies. That such prejudice is deplorable all fair-minded peo
ple agree. But we believe there is 110 more striking evidence of
the improvement of political methods in this country than has
been furnished by the members, of the Republican party, under
the leadership of Secretary lljoover, in their refusal to capital
ize this prejudice to their own political advantage.
No stronger plea for religious intolerance was ever made
than was contained in that brief but moving paragraph in Mr.
Hoover's acceptance speech. Secretary Work, with equal sin
cerity and feeling, scathingly denounced any appeals to re
ligious prejudice.'- Of all the Republican speakers now touring
the country, not one has even hinted at any religious issue.
And yet Governor Smith, by indirection, tries to make it
appear that the Republican party leaders arc behind this whis
pering campaign, ns he terms it, and as the sole support for this
charge he maintains sonic unnamed woman called at the offices
of the Republican national committee, and asking for aitti
Catholic literature of some unnamed person, was told the com
mittee had none, but she might get sonic at the office of a certain
anti-Catholic publication.
If that were true, there was nothing reprehensible in it.
Governor Smith, by his own statement, completely refutes the
charge that the Republican party, as a party, is trafficking in
such literature. But Horace Mann, in charge of the Southern
Republican campaign, says it is absolutely untrue and he claims
this incident was all an attempted and unsuccessful "frame up"
"by a certain Tammany woman detective."
Until more facts are known, one should reserve judgment
on the question of veracity between the two parties.
But to irepeat assuming it, WAS true, does Governor
Smith believe this justifies liiin in charging that certain people
high in Republican circles, aro trying to encompass his defeat
by raising tho religious issue?
Of course it does not. And Governor Smith knows it, or
ought to. As a matter of fact, 110 candidate for high office in
recent years has been treated as fairly and considerately by
tho leaders of the opposition as has Governor Smith. Jlr. Hoo
ver has repeatedly urged his followers to be above personalities
ami keep the uainpaigu upon it high plane. Ono of Governor
Smith's chief reconi'iuendalions of character, nnd ono which he
repeatedly uses, was n personal tribute to him from Charles K.
Hughes, given when it was generally known Smith would be the
Democratic nominee, and Mr. Hughes was to lead the New York
state campaign against him. Kven Senator Moses, of the caustic
tongue and slighlly "curdled mind," has never said a word
against "Al"; iu fact, has said he likes him as a man, but likes
Hoover considerably better.
The Republicans from Hoover down have played fair. And
in raising the religious issue himself, and seeking to place the
responsibility for so doing upon the Republican party, Al
Smith is NOT playing fair.
J to is simply playing politics, lie is seeking to gather iu the
solid Catholic vote (while he pretends otherwise) hy making it
appear that the Republicans arc waging war against him be
cause he is a Catholic.
i
AVl startetl out. this campaign with a, pretty high view of
Governor Smith. AVo said then we considered the country for
tunate iu having two such outstanding men of demonstrated
ability as Hoover and Smith.
We haven't abandoned that view. But, all partisanship
aside, tho more we sec and hear of "Al," the less highly we re
gard him. For he has demonstrated himself to be merely an
adroit and not too scrupulous politician, willing to say anything
or do anything that jiromises to get voles.
Iu short, he is playing the old-fashioned, palent-medieiue
game, He. is playing it skillfully, no doubt, but it is a game,
that is or should be pretty well discredited. Just how many
people in tho country can still be hoodwinked by it, will 110
doubt be demonstrated by tho result in November.

It was characteristic of Air.
Hoover to return the reply he did

perhaps the necessity of securing
the women's vote in November.
