Vrooman Flays Tammany Hall
For Attempt to Play “Con”
Game on Nation's Farmers
Economic Expert and Official Under Wilson
Says Houston Convention Platform
Fools Nobody
Flaying Tammany iTall for attempting to play a “con”
game on the farmers of the nation, Carl S. Vrooman, assistant
secretary of agriculture under President Wilson, declares that
intelligent farmers throughout the country have received no
comfort from the agricultural plank in the platform of the
■Sr
Democratic convention.

REPUBLICANS ARE
SUPPORTING SMITH

i
-------
Hundreds of Ute-long Republicans,
many of them of national prominence,
are swelling each day the vast army of
voters who believe that It Is the duty
of every thinking American to support
Governor Smith.
Among the most recent of leading
Republicans who have publicly re­
pudiated the Republican candidate 1s
Rudolph Spreckels, widely known
banker and business man of San
Francisco, owner of huge sugar plan­
tations in Hawaii, and formerly a
close friend and adviser of President
Roosevelt.
Another influential Republican to
declare for Smith is Spencer Penroee
of Colorado, mining engineer and
brother of the late Senator Boise Pen­
rose, Republican leader in Pennsyl­
vania.
Prominent Financial Figures
Ono Republican of considerable con­
sequence who has just declared for
Governor Smith is W. B. Hibbs of
Virginia, president of W. B. Hibbs and
Co., bankers, of Washington, D. C.
Two prominent New Jersey Re pub
Ucans, John J. Stamler, president of
the Broad and Market National Bank
and Trust Co., of Newark, and Uzal
H. McCarter, president of the Fidelity
Union Trust Co., of Newark, an­
nounced last week that they will sup
port Governor Smith.
Another Republican banker to join
the campaign to elect the Democratic
candidate is De Lancey Kountz, Chair­
man of the Board of Devoe and
Raynolds Co., of New YoTk.
“The x'ammany Hal! campaign idea . I
seems to be based on the theory that
it can sell political gold brick promises
to a bunch of hayseeds out West.”
Mr. Vrooman said “I am confident the
farmers of the nation will not fall for
this latest ‘con’ game from 'The Side­
walks of New York.’ ”
He charged Tammany with being
Democratic in name only and said
that "It is essentially mercenary and
parasitic. It double-crossed Wilson,
Cox, and Davis.
“One of Tammany’s first acts was
of subterfuge an double dealing. The
agricultural plank In the Houston plat­
form was a masterpiece of ambiguity,
so framed as to admit of one Interpre­
tation in the East and another in the
West and South.
“A few days after a conference with
Peek (George N. Peek, of Moline,
Ill.), Governor Smith Indorsed the
equalization fee principle, but the ne t
day he put out a statement flatly re­
pudiating the equalization fee itself.
"Intelligent farmers have got no

Mr. Vrooman has been active in be­ service of five years as assistant secre­
half of the "dirt farmers” In the tary of agriculture, he served on th*
Democratic party. H6 drafted and agricultural war mission to Europe,
"moral issue," Injected openly into
the Presidential campaign by William
Allen Whits, Emporia (Kans.) editor,
is today as dead as the dodo.
With one masterly stroke, the force­
ful, fearless statement of a man un­
justly assailed, Governor Alfred E.
Smith has revealed clearly the unfair­
ness and irresponsibility of those an­
tagonists who were so unwise as to
attack his personal record.
Replying to the charges made by
the Kansas editor, the Governor de­
fended and justified, bill by bill, his
long record sb a member of the New
York State Assembly.
Vile Suggestions
Asserting that the “vile sugges­
tions" of his accuser wers "probably
inspired” by the Republican National
Committee, the Governor said:
“I am glad to have this matter
taken out of the whispering stage and
put into the open. Once and for all I
shall meet it now.” And meet it he
did.
The "slanderous statement” that he
had aided prostitution, he showed,
was based upon his vote in opposition
to a single bill; and he disclosed that
he bad opposed that bill merely be­
cause it was "unquestionably uncon­
stitutional and unworkable.”
"On this bill, and on this single
hill alone,” Governor Smith said, "Wil­
liam Allen White would have my wife,
my children and my friends believe
that in my long career I was a friend
of public prostitution.”
Proving that the Kansan was en­
tirely Ignorant of the background of
various bills he cited to support his
charges, Governor Smith pointed out
that both Republicans and Demo­
crats had voted overwhelmingly with
him. On one of the bills for which
I he was criticized, he revealed, the
