TO FELLOW PRtXJRESSIVES— REPUBLICANS, DEMO CRATS, SOCIALISTS There are millions of voters who want to keep alive the progressive movement and progressive ideals. We who were closely identified with the LaFollette-Wheeler campaign of 1924 believe that this can best be done by the election of Governor Smith. On the one hand Mr. Hoover pledges himself to a “continuation of the Coolidge policies." Mr. Hoover’s business life has been identified.1 with exploitation. In fourteen years of public life ho has never, by word or act, suggested any understanding of or sympathy with any economic or political idea of a liberal, progressive sort. His political ambition played first with the Democratic party; then, fail ing, with the Republican party. For seven years he has lived with Fall, Dougherty, and Denby, during an orgy of official dishonor unparell eled in the history of America, if not of the world. As candidate for president he has uttered no word disclosing any sym pathy for the public interest on Mus cle Shoals, on water power, on prob lems of the worker, the farmer, the un privileged millions whose sufferages he seeks. FOR THESE REASONS WE URGE PROGRESSIVES WITHOUT RE GARD TO PARTY TO DEFEAT MR. HOOVER. On the other hand the public life of Alfred E. Smith covers 25 years of progressive achievement. That life is singularly open. It is a life of prom ises made and promises kept. Governor Smith has always taken the people into his confidence. He has frankly told the 5,000,000 progressives who left their parties four years ago where he stands upon all the questions most vital to them. He has an instinctive feeling for the unprivileged and powerless. That feeling has ever led him to understand their needs and insist on remedies. His executive career is a continued fight against reaction. He knows what it means. He knows how it acts. He said in his acceptance speech: “I shall know how to fight it in the nation.” It was the progressives of the country who rose to ward off Finan cial Imperialism during the past two administrations. To them it means a continuation of wars, a huge navy, a submergence of domestic issues in foreign ones in which we have no in terest. More than that, it means making war on defenceless peoples, it means armed intervention in the do mestic concerns of our Latin Ameri can neighbors. It means that the same lust for power that has already despoiled America of vast resources is reaching out to despoil our neighbors. At home it uses our government for its protection, by legislation, by exe cutive decree. Abroad it uses our boys who enlisted to protect the flag to collect its debts and to police its money lending transactions. Governor Smith has declared against a continuation of these policies. He stands four-square with the pro gressive thought of the country on the paramount questions of preserva tion, development and permanent con trol of water power by the people. His record as governor is proof of his deep interest in the welfare of workers; in their right to free col lective bargaining and in the wrong fulness rrf the injunction as a means of denying labor the ?ame privileges of collective action that capital en joys. He visions little children and wo men as the objects of special consider ation by the State and his record in the field of humane legislation is in-! comparable. No executive in America has done as much for public education as has he; no one has fought for and obtained as great financial aid for its develop for the adequate pay of teach e „ the burdens of tax ers or for inuv..^ . ation so that the mo?5 prunny- . communities will share the eduC8ti°bft' i ] burdens of the poorer districts. Denied an early education hilP*4?!*; he sees in the public schools one of democracy’s greatest agencies of equality and one of its great contri butions to th?. world. i Governor Smith sees agriculture as 1 the farmers see it. He appreciates I that the prosperity of the farmers is necessary for the prosperity of the ' business man, the banker, the worker. 1 He understands the farm problem , and has boldly and intelligently out lined a procedure by which, in confer- ■ ence with the leaders of the farmers organizations, a plan for immediate relief to this suffering industry may be intelligently adopted and quickly put into execution. No one who has followed Governor Smith’s career in New York questions his personal or political honor: no one who knows his record but that en dorses the integrity of his spoken Words. We believe his election will keep the progressive movement alive. FOR.THESE REASONS WE URGE PROGRESSIVES WITHOUT RE GARD TO PARTY TO REGISTER, AND TO ELECT ALFRED E. SMITH.
