IKES REPLY
WASHINGTON, Jan. II. (AP)
A dlreot defense against crit
icism of hi) chairmanship of the
democratic national committee
was mada last night by John J.
Raakob.
II made pn'ulle a letter ad
dressed to Frank R. Kent, colum
nist for the Baltimore Sun, term
In untrue statements Kent had
written concerning him In recent
article. The chairman summed
up Keot'i assertion as: ". . . In
hart, that I have bought and paid
for the part?."
"None of theae statements la
true," aald the statement. "I am
on of a group of men endorsing
the only committee note outstand
ing. I have assumed none of the
liabilities and none of the dehta
of the committee. Mr. (Jouottl
Shouse was unknown to ma previ
ous to the 1928 campaign, and
ss (elected aa rhalrmuu ot the
executive committee of the demo
cratic national committee by mem
bers ot that committee after long
and careful consideration of sev-
eral Important namea, and alter
consulting with other strong par
ty leadera."
Snouse, he aald. was In full and
nnlnterferred charge of work as
ai;oed him, and had conducted
his taaka "In close communion
and harmony" with other leadera
of the party, particularly In con
trees. "The million dollar redaction In
the party debt." be continued,
"was made not by me, but by cloae
friends and associates ot Govern
or Smith, who felt great respon
sibility for a large part of our de
ficit, and met it. I am loaning
money to the national committee,
which will be repaid."
Tha chairman devoted extens
ive space to denying what he
termed an Inference that he was
a republican and "that I became
a democrat soley because ot the
Smith candidacy."
"When your article Infers that
I waa a republican and changed to
the democratic party because of
my religion and because Alfred
E. Smith Is a Roman Catholic."
he said, "you are merely joining
that strong group In the repub
lican national committee that
have been fomenting religions and
class hatreds during the past two
years and prostituting the repub
lican party to gain ballots from a
misinformed, abused and mis
goided public."

'of Happiness,' " Smith wrote.
"The text ot it has been laid
before me. I find that the whole
cartoon hinges on the following
statement: 'To my mind the
democratic party will soon be in
control and will make this a
happy as veil as a prosperous
nation. The democratic party
Is alwaya looking for the common
good and opposing oppressive
laws and sumptuary legislation.'

Mr. Smith's letter continued:
"I made careful Investigation

it had not emanated from my
own office nor anyone connect

ter and it was admitted by all
ronoerned that the telegram had
been a hoax and we made care
ful denial In all newspapers by
statement issued on August 21st,

catches np with an original
statement. It did not In this In
stance or else it was deliberate
ly disregarded.
"Since, on the face of the
testimony, this cartoon was dis
tributed in these various states
to the extent of 80.000 copies.
I think that an apology and re
paration is due from tho repub
lican national committee which
permitted its director to do this
and that I am entitled to have
800.000 copies ot a statement
showing that I was falsely quot
ed, distributed last as widely as
the original cartoon was and to
the same organizations.
"I would like to spread this
matter upon the minutes ot the

It in any other form which oc

Ernest Fetch, president of the
Lakevlew chamber of commerce,
and Forest Cooper, Lakevlew at
torney and secretary ot the
lakevlew chamber, were visitor
in Klamath Fnlla toduy, and at
tended the regular meeting of
the board of director of the
Klamath county rhiimhrr of com
merce. Mr. Fetch presented arguments
lu favor ot the Hurns-Lakevlow
highway, which would connect
with . tha ao-callcd Yellowstone
highway, assisting materially lu
(he development of Lakevlew,
"As you know, Lakevlew Is
more or less isolated." Mr. Fetch
stated to the loc.il director.-,
"and tho one thing that will as
sist in the development ot our
town Is transportation. The
Klamath Falls-I.akevlew high
way has helped, but our lile.il Is
the Yellowstono cut-off and the
Lnkevliw-r.urns highway, which
would bring 60.000 cars through
Lakevlew tho flint year, and an
increasing number each' vcur af
terward. The Yellowstone cut
off will be a shorter route from
San Francisco to the Nationa'
park, and it Is obvlons that of
the tourists so near to the grea'
scenic attructlou. Crater Lake,
the greater number would visit
Klamath Falls, swelling Klam
ath's tourist registration."
Although the local chamber
has pledged as much support aa
possible to tha Lakeriew-Hurus
highway project, first allegiance
goes to tho Warm Springs Wan
Inltla cut-off, which materially
lessens motoring time from tills
city to Portland, and will, when
the proposed Weed-Klamath Fails
highway la completed, give a
route from Sau Fruncisco to
Portland that will consume only
two days by automobile. Klam
ath Falls will greatly profit by
this proposed route.
On January 9. tha Roads and
Highway committee ot the cham
ber of commerce met with the
Klamath county court, and went
on record as supporting the
Warm Sprlngs-Waplnltla cut-off.
and to this end, ('. A. Dunu
was appointed as Klamath coun
ty's representative to endorse
this project at the State High
way hearing to be held In Port
land on Junuary 5. Mr. Dunn
will also endorse the allocation
of 119 4.000 federal appropria
tion for the Waplnltia project.
After considerable argument
as to which road would be more
beneficial to Klamath Falls, the
hoard ot the local chamber to-;
day passed a resolution to In
struct their representative, C.
A. Dunn, to endorse the Wap-j
initla-Warm Springs cut-off ai
originally decided, but if It be-j
came apparent that tne Statoi
Highway Commission was not,
favorubly inclined toward this
project, to switch his allegiance:
to the Ilnrns-Lakevlew cut-off
project.
