Flood of Comment Over the Nation on Smith Speech Farm Leaders and Many Dry Ex ponents Are Praising Fearless Attitude Tanen. Farm leaders, wet and dry enthus iasts and politicians and office hold ers of the democratic and the repub lican parties were stirred to emphatic comment by Governor Smith's accept ance speech as presidential nominee Most of the comment centered on those sections of the speech which stated the candidate's views on farm relief, prohibition and the tariff. The reports were gathered by the Asso ciated Press. In Chicago, Sam H. Thompson, president of the American Farm Bu reau federation, said: "Governor Smith recited facts that clearly rep resent the present agricultural sit uation. He reiterated the democratic party pledge adopted at Houston. As I have already said, that party plat form covers the fundamental prin ciples adopted by the American Farm Bureau federation five years ago. The ".voidance of government subsidy, by assessing the cost of surplus control is factory." Salina, Kans., said: "Governor Smith recognizes the underlying principle embodied in the McNary-Haugen bill, that of distributing the cost of dis posing of the surplus over all the units of the commodity bentfited." Praises Nominee's Courage. In New York, former United States Senator Atlee Pomerene of Ohio, democrat, government counsel in the Teapot Dome oil cases, asserted that the speech showed that Governor Smith knows more about national issues than most of the legislators in Washington. "It was a great speech by a great statesman," he said. Other comments in New York in cluded the following: Representative John G. Tilson (ren.. Con.): "Governor Smith's tariff proposal, in effect, is to re peal the present tariff law without any indication- of what will take its place and it is quite disturbing." Ritchie Pays Tribute. Governor Albert C. Ritchie of Maryland: "The address disclosed his personality, his character and his sincerity, as the people of New York have known him and as the people of the country must know him." Charles M. Hay, dry Missouri dem ocratic candidate for the senate: "I am a dry and I oppose the governor's program for modification, but I am heartily in accord with his stand for enforcement and I am sure the people of Missouri will approve it by their votes." Mrs. Ella A. Boole, president of the national W. C. T. U.: "His pro posal to recommend an amendment to the Volstead act. which is intend ed to convey the impression that un der his plan the sale of wine and beer may be legalized, is the program of the Association against the Pro hibition Amendment is interesting in the light of his lack of co-operation in enforcement in New York state. Dry Democrats Satisfied. At Richmond, two outstanding I Virginia democrats. Senator Carter , uiass anu uuvei uur riaiiy r iuou i Byrd, issued statements describing Governor Smith's state control pro hibition proposals as impossible of t T- : A T. . - : . 1, acuie vciueiii, uui usstri inig mat nit I question was not an issue in the , presidential campaign. Both men ex ' pressed in definite terms their faith . in the party nominee. Said Senator Glass: "Knowing perfectly that as president he will have no power to modify the Eight eenth or any other amendment to the federal constitution, and that not in a hundred years hence will two- thirds of both branches of congress propose, or three-fourths of the states of the union raitfy any such proposition, I put Governor Smith's record as a man and as an executive over against that of his republican competitor, and I put the record and declaration of the principles of the democratic party against that of the republican party, and on this score, preserve my party regularity as a democrat and join in the fight against entrenched privilege and against the worst record of thievery and corruption and organized malad ministration of government that ever disgraced any political regime in the history of the American repoblic." "No Tammany ecandal or any other scandal has ever touched Gov ernor Smith," Byrd said. "Governor Smith is the most independent na tional leader in this country." Fred W. Johnson, chairman of the democratic western headquarters at Salt Lake City, said today that Gov ernor Smith's acceptance speech was a "clear, straightforward exposition of his views" and that his attitude on the tariff plan was "especially ac ' ceptable to the industries of the west." Praised by Hawes. At St. Louis the speech was praised for its "straight shooting" by United States Senator Harry E. Hawes. of Missouri, chairman of the central re gional headquarters of the demo cratic national committee. ' Frcs; Psllis vere wired ccSict vievvs ezpresEetJ by democratic party leaders of Texas. "It is a very instructive and states manlike document," declared Jed C. Adams, democratic national commit teeman. Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller said: "Governor Smith made a won derful speech. It will be an import ant factor in bringing victory for the entire ticket in November." Alvin S. Moody, chairman of the anti-Smith democrats of Texas, de clared the New York governor's "plan for wrecking prohibition is de serving of the denunciation of all American citizens, whether they be for or against prohibition." At St. Paul, Minn., Andrew Vol stead, author of the prohibition en forcement law, said Smith avoided his party's issues in dealing with the liquor situation, and said the governor "purposely seeks to become the candidate for the liquor inter ests." World-Herald. Smith Bound by Platform He States', His Personal Opinion Does Not Affect .v. V,j v x the Pledges Made by the Party at Houston Convention i New York. Aug. 2. As a full pledged presidential nominee, Cover- nor Smith today came back again to his native New York City, still certain when he would start active campaigning. . His views on tne punnc issues or the day were before the nation and a bit worn by the strain of his noti fication Inst night in Albany, the democratic standard bearer seemed more anxious for rest and recreation than anything else. After an overnight stay at h js ! suite in a local hotel, tne governor tomorrow will move on to New Jer-: sev to take part in a big democratic ' rally at Seagirt Saturday and to re-' view national ruard trooDs there. : Next week he will pay his annual visit to the New York state fair at Syracuse, but beyond that he has no engagements. He will make no speech at Seagirt but may deliver a non political address at Syracuse. Savs Bound by Platform Se7ing late after his notification ceremony which was forced indoors by l ad weather, the democratic nom inee spent some time reading con gratulatory messages "before taking the train to New-YrkrAs he trav-! eled down the river, he came for-! ward to a special car occupied by; newspapermen and held a short press j conference. . J As he sank back in a seat at one end of the coach, the governor, chew ing the stub of a cigar, was asked whether he thought there was any thing inconsistent in a dry democrat running for the senate or house on the ticket with him. "Everybody who is nominated for office stands on the platform of the supreme body of the party, to-wit: The national convention," the nomi nee replied. "Then you don't, regard them bound by 3-our acceptance speech?" "No one can amend the platform." Mr. Smith came back, dismissing the subject. "Has the reaction to your speech been favorable?" he was next asked. Messages Pour In "Yes. judging from the messages I have received." He reported that telegrams fro?n all parts of the country had reached him at the ex ecutive mansion in bundles of 50 to 100. He estimated that at least 3,000 arrived within an hour after he had concluded delivery of his ac ceptance speech. The governor said that if anyone had sent him a mes sage expressing disapproval of any of his views he had not seen the communication. "Do you think any dry could take offense at what you said on prohi bition?" asked a reporter, recalling that the nominee had advocated mod ification of both the Volstead law and eighteenth amendment. "No sensible one could," the gov ernor retorted. State Journal.

The patient is doing as well as could be expected under the circumstances, but is still far from well and the efforts to re store the use of the arm, the nerves of which were shattered by the gun shots, will require some time.
