Tammany
Is Assailed
AL SMITH’S RECORD AS STATE
EXECUTIVE IS SEVERELY
CRITICISED.
SYRACUSE, N. Y., Sept. 29.—A1
Smith’s record as a State executive
was assailed at the second day’s ses
sion of the State Republican conven
tion by its permanent chairman, As
sistant Secretary of War Trubee
Davison.
Davison, in the course of his
speech, said the road to Washington
was one “over which Tammany shall
not pass.”
“The Democratic party,” said Dav
ison, "would appeal with empty ges
tures for law enforcement by telling (
us that if he takes the oath to ophold j
the constitution and law, whatever his j
personal belief may be, he will see to
it that they are enforced. It will be
remembered that he took such an
oath a few times as governor of New
York, and the whole t\vorld knows how
little he has been inclined to aid Fed
eral enforcement in New York. If it
is any standard to judge what will
happen in Washington, national en
forcement -win be a travesty.”
