Show THE BINGHAM BULLETIN, BINGHAM CANYON, UTAH Thursday, October 4, 1928 PENNEY SEES 1 MR. HOOVER AS JiFflRSHOPE Says Smith Fails to Grasp the Situation and Doubts i : His Competence. HE REMAINS A DEMOCRAT But Chain Store Owner Opposes JV Party Nominee Calls Secretary ("V , Sincere and Competent, ! J. C. Penney, president of one of the largest chain store organizations in the country, declares that, although te has been a life-lon- g Democrat, he will support Herbert Hoover for the Itt Ws declaration Mr. Penney en-thusiastically supports Hoover's stand op. farm relief, which, be declares, Is a mnHer of business and not of more rlafwes.e jL. '"- - '" well-bein- g of the country rises above partisan Issues," said Mr. Pen-ney In a formal statement, "and, while 1 shall remain a Democrat In the af-fairs of my . state, which is Florida, and have no Intention of becoming a Republican, I have a feeling which amounts to a deep conviction that the opportunity to have Herbert Hoover as President is one that we should ' ' take. t "Two very Important question are before us farm relief and prohibi-tion. In the farm question I have an Interest as keen as that of any farm-er, for of our stores, which number ' more than a thousand, a majority are in the farm districts. Their prosper-perlt- y depends on the prosperity of the fanner. I started my first store in Japing, and for years all of our fitor wS in the Western and Mid-li- e Western statel lkhow that'eountry; I was born and lived In It. I know farming and farm problems. For Borne years 1 have given a great deal of time and money to studying ways and means of making the farmer more prosper-ous. I have a tract of 120,000 acres in Florida, on which more than a hun-dred farm families are working at problems of production and distribu-tion in a business way under the su-pervision of a well-rounde- staff of agricultural experts. Our farmers are making money. "I have noted thnt In sections, such as parts of Wisconsin, where the farmers maintain herds of blooded stock, they earn profits, whereas the farmer who has poor stock does Just as much work and gets no return. This shows in our store incomes. And so I have a demonstration herd of Guernsey cattle, which I take around the country myself in order to teach the lessons of economical production. We are likewise working on beef cat-tle and sheep. "The farm problem la not a new o to me, and I am not In It for amuse-ment Inr the light of my experience It seems to me that few men have ever shown so slight a grasp of the situation as did Governor Smith if bis acceptance speech is to be taken as his best effort. His lack of under-standing is fundamental. He simply does not know what it is all about, and after giving a few unimportant and misleading figures he simply says that he will try to get someone to help him solve it by law. - Doubts Smith's Confidence "We have had solutions by law through the years, and we narrowly escaped destruction by law in the bill. The farm is a busi-ness enterprise and must be brought to that level by the leadership of a man who understands both business and farming. That man Is Herbert Hoover. He can do for farming what, as Secretary of Commerce, he has done for business and can put it once and for all on a firm foundation.1 His proposals are direct, comprehensive and wholly practical. He does not Just weep on the farmer's shoulder. "I am a dry. I am In absolute ac-cord with Hoover's etand on prohibi-tion. It is a noble experiment En-tirely aside from the moral aspects of prohibition, 1 trace to it much of our national prosperity. Governor Smith's proposals are entitled to weight, but I am wholly against them. I will not vote for a wet. "In short, while I do not doubt Gov-ernor Smith's sincerity in his various pleas for election, I more than doubt his competence to grapple with our national problems. I doubt neither Hoover's sincerity nor his compe-tence. And therefore 1 am going to do all that lies in my power to beip towards his election." Freemason Who Opposes Smith Betrays Order A Freemason is disloyal to his or-der and betrays it if ho opposes the election of a Catholic to the Presi-dency on religious grounds, according I to Supreme Court Justice Townsend Scudder, former Grand Master of Masons in New York State. In a letter to William Ritchie, Jr., a fellow mason of Omaha, Nebraska, and chairman of the Smith clubs In that state, who tad telegraphed that some Masons were refusing to support. Smith, Justice Scudder wrote: IwiMsoary, ee 3u!a-'- l Caeat tr-i-i Mi nj tfSvojuy tl ill ttiOCMM t.: TyriArs 5jm 20. concern with any man's religion other than to exact of Its members belief in God and moral lives. Governor Smith is a God fearing man, a church-man and lives a moral life. "It follows then that a Freemason is disloyal to his order and betray It who opposes Governor Smith's elec-tion solely because the Govwf P Catholic, and m C;&cfl-X-3 loyal to our country bec Li i plies a religious test as a qualification for office which the constitution of the United States forbids.

I mppoj him for the Presi-dency for the very reasons which im-pelled my forebears to support Abra-ham Lincoln.
