To Whom It May Concern: The undersigned were mem bers of the Astoria City Coun cil during all the five years that Howard K. Zimmerman served as city attorney. We have also had opportunity to observe the work of other city attorneys, one of us hav- been on the Council for 14 years and the other (’> years. Mr, Zimmerman came to the office when a form of government new to us was being installed, when every city official was uncertain as to his powers and duties, when enormous reconstruction tasks faced the city after its dis astrous fire of 1922, and when many other problems such refunding of indebt edness, collection of delin quent assessments, etc. had to be solved. His handling of these prob lems showed him to be a man of fine legal ability and ot unquestionable integrity. He was careful, thorough and clear in his analysis of every question, accurate in his le gal knowledge, and capable of getting through with a pro digious amount of work. He personally passed upon every proceeding connected with the dozens of improvement pro jects undertaken, and his rec ord in this work is perfect; not one of his proceedings was ever successfully at tacked. His proceedings for refunding bond issues were praised, as being unusually complete and correct, by ex perts of the bonding houses. His prosecution of cases in the municipal and other courts was vigorous and ef ficient. We unhesitatingly pronounce him one of the best city attorneys Astoria has ever had; and we believe that the qualities he dis played in that office will make him an excellent circuit judge VICTOR SEERORC.

SMITH IS BETTER FITTED TO HEAD NATION Eminent Republican Banker Calls Him Master of Science of Government. HOOVER LACKS DIPLOMACY AND COURAGE, HE SAYS Jeroms Davis Greene, Rockefeller Associate, One of Many Prominent Figures Who Repudiates Party's Candidate. Describing Governor Smith as prob ably the greatest living master of the science of governmental reorganiza tion, Jerome Davis Greene, the bank er who Is associated with John D, Rockefeller in the management of the vast Rockefeller business and philan thropic interests, has declared in a letter to the Editor of the New York Times that he will support the Demo cratic candidate. Mr. Greene, a Republican and Con- gregationalist, is a director in many great corporations and an officer and member ot many scientific organiza tions. In his letter, which was not solicited by the newspaper nor by any political organization, he comments that Hoover s supporters urge his election on the ground of his adminis trative ability. That, he asserts, is an obvious fallacy. Pointing out that whatever success Hoover achieved as a food adminis trator was due, not to courage or di plomacy, but to the almost autocratic power with which he had been invest ed, Mr. Green continues: "The candid and gallant stand which Governor Smith has taken upon the subject ot prohibition by Federal en actment as an instrument ot social reform, and the outstanding impor tance of the Issue thus presented, has somewhat obscured in the public mind his legitimate claim to preference over Mr. Hoover in respect to the one qualification which is urged, with per haps more emphasis and greater sin cerity than any other, in support of Mr. Hoover. | Republicans who have recently bolted fly the night air mail between San I their party to support Smith, are Francisco and Loa Angeles.

Yearly more than 120,000 persons see and study the exhibits of pure bred Beef and Dairy Cattle, Horses, Sheep, Hogs, Goats and Foxes competing for the $100,000.00 offered in prizes. Combined also are great Dairy, Land and Manufacturers’ Products Shows, Wool and Mohair Show, and Industrial Exposition. Because of its educational value, greater size and increasing quality of exhibits we, here at the Bank of Vernonia, recommend attendance at this year’s Exposition. “Many, especially those who live out side of the State of New York, are per haps unaware ot the fact, known to all students ot recent advances In the science ot governmental organization in this country, that there is probably no man in public life more familiar with the theory and recent Improved practice of that science than the present Governor ot the State ot New York.
