Smith's Omaha j
Farm Speech
Says McNary-Haugen Men Can't Con
sistently Oppose the Gover- j
nor Now.
J Washington, Sept. 24. Keeping
clear of the presidential campaign
Senator Norris (rep.. Neb.) announc
ed today that he is planning to leave
Washington at the end of this week
to make a number of speeches on be
: half of the re-election of several
mJf ' "e P"s-Ss"" m
In the speeches, Senator Norris
said he will not advocate the election
of either Herbert Hoover or Governor
Alfred E. Smith for the presidency.
The Nebraskan, who is regarded as
the leader of the enate progressive
group, however, in a statement today ,
I characterized the democratic presi
' dential nominee's speech on farm re
I lief at Omaha as "fine" and his Den-
ver water power speech as "great." 1
"Men who believe in the theory of
McNary-Haugen bill should be
the governor." the senator declared.
("Governor Smith proposes to take
tnro nf the siirnlns and eharere the
! cost to the producer. That is the real
j object of the McNary-Haugen bill.
Should Extend Views.
J -'Governor Smith's water power
speech is the most progressive ever
made on that subject by any presi
dential candidate. It comes nearer to
j Roosevelt's idea than the views of
I any man a candidate for the presi-.
dency. The only possible criticism la '
that he says nothing of giving muni-
; cipalitie3 and farm organization pre
ference over private corporations in
the distribution of the water power.
He should cover this feature to makc(
his program complete. j
The Nebraskan said that after the
Omaha speech those who believed in-
the McNary-Haugen bill as a proper
method of dealing with the surplus
question could not consistently op
pose Smith. He also said that in his
opinion Governor Smith's declara
tions at Denver showed that there
was no comparison between his posi
tion on the power question and that
of Herbert Hoover. , '
, Norris 'addresses Sot hi progres
sive senate associates will be in sup
port of Senators Wheeler (Montana)
and Dill (Wahington), both demo
crats; for his republican colleague,
Howell (Nebraska), Frazier (North
Dakota), also a republican, and Ship
stead (farmer-labor, Minnesota). He
already has spoken in Wisconsin in
support of Senator La Follette and
said that he would go to California
to aid Senator Johnson (republican),
if it were thought necessary. World
Herald. BLAINE KEFUSAL AN AID
Governor Smith's Train. En Route
to Helena. Mont., Sept. 24. While
Governor Smith declined to comment
today on published reports that Sen
ator Blaine, republican progressive
of Wioconsin, would not support oi
vote for Herbert Hoover, Senator
Wheeler of Montana, who boarded
the democratic special at Billings
expressed the belief that the junior
Wisconsin senator's announcement
would clinch victory In that state
for the democratic national ticket
In 1924, Wheeler ran for vice presi
den on the independent ticket headed
by the late Senator LaFolIette of
Wisconsin.
"I would think," said the Montana
senator, who is up for re-election as
a democrat, "that the announcement
would assure Wisconsin for Governor
Smith."
He added that "it will be very
helpful in Minnesota and North Da
kota, and in all probability in South
Dakota." Wheeler made his state
ment in a press conference on board
Governor Smith's train, which alsc
was attended by Senator Walsh, de
mocrat, Montana, and prosecutor of
the senate oil inquiries. The demo
cratic nominee took only a mino
part in the interview.
Wheeler said that the LaFollettf
progressive vote of 1924 was liner (
up almost to a unit for Governoi:
Smith in North Dakota, Wisconsin j
Minnesota arid Montana.
EURLES0N IS FOR SMITH
New York, Sept. 24. Albert S.
Burleson, postmaster general in the
Wilson administration, enrolling to
day in the College League for Smith
declared that "prohibition fanatici
and religious bigots" are making the
two outstanding issues in the cam
paign. There would be no doubt about
the result of the election, he wrote
from his home in Texas, were it not
for two elements in the electorate
"one, a fanatical element who con
tend that the Volstead act just as it
is wrilTen is more essential than the i
restoration of our government tc
nonest control, and the other, n
bigoted, intolerant clement which
has not the courage to declare it?
real belief that our constitutions are
wrong when they declare thero shall
be no religious test for office."
