Mrs. Mabel Willebrandt. former Senator Robert L. Owen, of Oklahoma, and Owen, of Oklahoma, others he contended had been mis representing him to the country. Smith defied his foes to find instance where he had betrayed trust of the people of New York as a legislator or as governor. The cry of "Tammany," the demo cratic presidential nominee told the crowd that was packed into the Coli seum and voters throughout the na tion who were listening in on the radio, "is nothing more or less than a red herring that is pulled across the trail in order to throw us off the scent.

Smith said that Owen had assail ed him because of his affiliation with Tammany Hall, and charged that the former Oklahoma senator had at- tacked him througn tne puDiication in The ConKresaional Record, of a letter he had written to Senator Sim- mons (N.

"It is quite evident that the gov ernor has been giving further study to the agricultural question since he delivered his speech of acceptance. He Accepts The Fee. "He refers to the agricultura plank of the democratic platform as a theory to be followed. The fact is the device itself is set out in that plank and plainly embodies the equ alization fee feature. "There is only one way to handle crop surpluses, namely, either by as sessing the cost to the crops concern ed or else through the use of gov ernment funds in the nature of a sub sidy. The esualization fee method ap plies to the former. Whether it ir called a fee or a charge or a rebate or an excise tax does not matter." Omaha Bee-News.

Bills,, Textbook Charges New York The Republican ad ministration is accused of having attempted to ignore the employment situation, of trying to minimize its fmnnrta nfo anH of tailine- tn rfpa' with it when it became acute in the third section of the campaign book of the Democratic National Commit tee, just made public. The definite counts which the Democrats make against the Republi cans are specified in the campaign book, which charges that Robert F. Wagner (D.), Senator from New York, failed to get action on three employment bills, which, he saic' would have placed the Government in a position to cope with unemploy ment whenever it developed. One of these bills provided for the gather ing of data to cover important indus tries; another provided for the estab- lishment by the Government in con junction with the states, of a free em ployment stablization board to di rect authorized government expendi tures for public works in periods of unemployment. The book charges that the Admin istration persistently minimize the shortage of jobs and that It further failed to take warning or proper steps to deal with the situ ation, continuing in ignorance of rea? conditions. "Unemployment is undoubtedly the most important cause of poverty and destitution." It sass.

Severa is cashier of the bank, and Henry Lallman assistant cashier.
