ArEDFOTiD MAIL TRIBUNE. JIEDFORD. OREGON. THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1932 PAGE FIVE ROOSEVELT IDEALS (Continued irom Page One) WASHINGTON. April 14 (AP) The opposition of Alfred E. Smith, auddenly and forcefully expressed, to day stood across Franklin D. Roose velt's path toward the presidential nomination of the Democratic party. A stern challenge, with Its object unnamed but Indisputably Identified, was thundered out by the "happy warrior" of 1928 last night in his ad dress to the Jefferson Day gathering of the party's great a gathering which had been heralded as a "unity" meeting to forward democratic suc- cussess In November. Roosevelt Absent Roosevelt was not there. Other business kept htm In Albany, but many of his supporters were in the throng which heard Smith, after quoting Roosevelt utterances, promise to "take off my coat and vest and fight to the bitter end any candidate who persists In any demagogic appeal to the masses of the working people of this country to destroy themselves by setting class against class and rich against poor." It was Roosevelt who only last Thursday In a radio address pleaded the cause of the "forgotten man" at the bottom of the economic structure, the farmer and the small householder. Tn that same address he labelled a "stop-gap" the Idea of a big public worka bond Issue to stimulate em ployment. Smith In Criticism Smith, who sponsors Just such a project, quoted this word "stop-gap" In referring critically to exception taken to his plan In the recent speech of a leading Democrat whom he did not name. It was that reference which gave hl audience one of the definite cluea to the direction his words were taking. Today the democratic leaders were weighing the utfect of this startling development on the party fortunee and upon the candidacy of Roosevelt who now Is way beyond any rivals on the road to nomination, with 216 pledged and claimed delegates. Im mediate repercussions were awaited. Gives War Debt Plan Smith flung Into the meeting also a propossl for settling the war debts and stimulating American foreign trade by this government's offering the debtor nations to "forget" their obligations for 30 years, meanwhile reducing their total each year by as per cent of their purchasea of Ameri can goods. Considerably elaborated, this plan received an uncertain re sponse, with much less applause than was volunteered many of nis utter ances. Earlier the group had been startled by the proffer of a compromise wet nlan from the dry state or Virginia. Former Governor Harry Flood Byrd nrorjosed immediate amendment of the constitution to make possible direct referendum by the people, to be held thereafter at a date unmarked bv political contests on the direct Issue of continuing, abridging or re. pealing the 18th amendment, sti'i-s PJehts Urged This, with Smith's renewal of hia urging for a states' rights plank, al lowing states to remain wet or dry as they choBe. was one of the few refer ences to prohibition in the party pro ceedings. The aatherlng of more than 3,000, coming at the end of a day replete with rallies, speeches and campaign' planning, heard also Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland, former Gov urnor James M. Cox of Ohio, the toastmaster, and John J. Raskob. the party, national chairman. Senator J. Hamilton Lewla, of Illinois, on the program for a speech, was not able to attend. The general tenor of the talks was an assault on the Repub lican administration, coupled with predictions of triumph for democracy this election. Speech Toned Down in the text of his address prepared beforehand, Smith followed up his promUe to take off his coat and fight with the awertlon: "It would be better that the con-1 ventlon remain in session all summer j and give to the people a vigorous, ; strong, clearly defined platform, and j candidates capable of fighting for It, j than to hurry away from Chicago with a half-baked proposal to offer to the , people of the country I" I But the sentence went unuttered. 1 The paragraph and several others were skipped In Smith's rapid delivery. It waa underatood that Byrd and others, upon seeing the manuscript In advance, advised the New Yorker to ; "tone It down." Phoenix Grangers Postpone Debate To Later Meeting PHOENIX, April 14.
