DISCUSSES IMMIGRATION
Would Retain Restricting Features'
Of Present Immigration
Limits
(By Associated Press)
ST. PAUL, Sept. 27.-In another
assault on his Republican opposi-
tion, Gov. Smith tonight held that
the "fundamental weakness" of
the Harding and Coolidge adminis-
trations has been a lack of leader-
ship.
The Democratic presidential
nominee touched on the farm
problem, again assailing the Re-
publicans for a failure to work ow
an effective relief program, and
declared that there was a whisper-
ing campaign to misrepresent his
stand. on inland waterway develop-
ment and, immigration.
In his speech prepared for de-
livery in the St. Paul auditorium
-after spending much of the day ir;
nearby Minneapolis, Smith recalled
that as governor of New York he
had favored, like his Republicar
predecessor, the so-called all-
American route through the state
for a waterway between the Great
Lakes and the sea. He reiterated
however, the readiness, expressed
in his acceptance speech, to be
guided by the findings of engin-
eering experts as between this
route and the proposed St. Law-
rence river waterway.
As for immigration, the Deme
cratic candidate declared "there is
no issue between either the parties
or the, candidates on the question
of sustaining and keeping in fu
force and effect the restraining fea-
tures of the present immigration
laws."
The Democratic standard bearer
accused the Republicans of doin
little or nothing in recent years
in the way of comprehensive in-
land water development, and of
being niggardly in making appr(
priations for such work and flo
control.-
. He insisted that the Republicar
party platform in recent years had
failed to come out for ,development
of one lakes to the Atlantic route
in preference to the other, and
quoting Herbert Hoover's accep-
tance speech,. contended that his
opponent also had failed to take
a clear outstand in that contro-
versy.
With regard to immigration the
Democratic nominee said that "thc
whisperers would as a people be-
leve that I favor a letting down
of the restricting bars and openin:
of the flood gates that immigra-
tion made for into the country."
The Democratic and Republican
platform planks on immigratior
the New York governor asserted,
both declare, in different language
for preservation of laws limiting
immigration.

HOOVER SPEAKS'

DELEGATION OF FIRST VOTERS
RECEIVED BY CANDIDATE
AT HIS OFFICE
WORKS ON NEXT SPEECH
Mann, Southern Campaign Leader,
Confers With Nominee On Return
From Tennessee
(By Associated Press)
WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Her-
bert Hoover described the Repub-
lican party today as the one of
action for the benefit of the coun-
try without regards to the sectorial
or special interests.
Addressing a delegation of first
voters from Virginia, the Repub-
lican presidential nominee said'
that the party must approach the'
host of new problems that have
arisen in the "same forward look-I
ing attitude of mind which we have'
given to the other problems of the
past. "
Nominee Studies East
The candidate 'interrupted a re-
newed study of the eastern political
situation to receive the delegation.
Between times, he puts in addition-
al strokes upon his Elizabethan,
Tenn., speech which is now near its
final shape.
In a series of conferences with
party leaders, Hoover again took
up the eastern problem. Repre-
sentative Franklin E. Fort, of New
Jersey, secretary of the Republican
national committee, breakfasted
with the nominee and gave him a
report covering his observation of
the situation during the last sev-
eral weeks in New England.
Confers With Mann
Before meeting the delegation
from Virginia, Hoover also confer-
red with Horace A. Mann, director
of the southern campaign, who has
only recently returned from a visit
into Tennessee.
The nominee told the first voters
that "the decision as to the party
which you would ally yourself in
your first vote is one of the most
important decisions in your life."
Thomas L. Procter, of Richmond,
who headed the delegation, told
Hoover that the group came to him
"on the basis of good citizenship,"
adding that the nation needed his
heart, his mind, and his knowledge
at this time.

President Little's Letter Marks
New Step in Campus Liquor Problem
Two years ago last February, President Clarence Cook Little
presented an ultimatum to the fraternities on the campus, offer-
ing them three alternatives in regard to the liquor situation in
the houses. (1) The alumni of the fraternities were to pledge
themselves that no more drinking was to take place in the
,hapter houses. (2) The house could appoint a faculty man who
was to take the responsibility for proper conduct in that house.
(3) The house was to be left open to investigation at any time by
officials from the office of the dean of students.}
At the start of the next school year, the office of the dean
of students banned all fraternity parties on the Saturday nights
of local football games.
The following letter from President Little to Dean Joseph
A. Bursley will explain the third step which University officials
are now contemplating, subject to approval of alumni, frater-
nities, the Student council, and the administration.
September 26, 1928.
Dean J. A. Bursley,
Dean of Students,
Campus.
Dear Dean Bursley:
Ever since coming to Michigan I have been conscious of
the harm done to the University by rumors of drinking and
uncontrolled behavior at fraternity dances and house parties.
I know that we have all cooperated in efforts to meet the
situation and that we believe that the reports are grossly exag-
Berated. Nevertheless I have been repeatedly asked by students,
alumni, and citizens of the state why no effort is made to
check up on the situation.
In my opinion the University is not the agent to conduct
such an investigation, although for the protection of the fra-
ternities as well as itself it should, in my opinion, see that such
an investigation is made.
Students at the University are residents of the community
and as such should be expected to conform with the law and
to respect other residents. I am sure that they recognize this
fact and would welcome an opportunity to prove that the rumors
are not founded upon fact.
It therefore seems to me more that we should approach the
Treasury department and request that one or more federal
agents be delegated to Ann Arbor for a period sufficient to estab-
lish the correctness or incorrectness of the rumors in question. :
I think that it would be a splendid thing if the frater-
nities and their alumni; the student council and the University
authorities should join in making the request and hope that
you will be willing to use this little as the means of starting
conferences with them. If the matter could be brought to a
head by October tenth or fifteenth I should think that it would
be of more value than it would be at a later date.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) C. C. Little.

0 CONFER WITH COUNCIL
o Action Will Be Taken Unless
Students and Alumni Favor
Federal Intervention
President Clarence Cook Little
,esterday proposed that Federal
)rohibition agents be assigned to
nvestigate rumors of drinking and
ncontrolled conduct at fraternity
lances and house parties, a letter
rom the President to Joseph A.
ursleyhdean of students, which
vas made public yesterday showed.
n his letter, President Little made
t very clear that he believed the
umors to be exaggerated, but tha
e wanted to establish the "cor-
ectness or incorrectness" of the
,eports, as they were injuring the
Jniversity.
Letter Made Public Yesterday
The President's letter was made
ublic a few hours after the Stu-
ent council went on record in
avor of a "dry" student body. The
etter was written before the Coun-
il took action, and according to
Dean Bursley, its existence was un-
mown to that lody.
Is Unrelated to Auto Ban
President Little made it clear
that the step was unrelated in any
way to a possible lifting of the
automobile ban. He said in a
tatement, "I always have been in
favor of permitting well-bea.ved
ipperclassmen to use automobiles.
However, we are not attempting to
nake a bargain with the students.
f certain things happen in clean-
ing up the liquor situation, it does
not mean that certain other things
will happen." This was an
answer to rumors prevalent on the
ampus that as soon as the liquor
taw was enforced properly, the ba
would be relaxed. The President
said he favored a modified ban,
somewhat like that of two years
ago, but that there must first be
temperate, responsible student
body.
Dean Bursley said that a meet-
ing of fraternity representatives,
members of the Student Council,
alumni, and University authoritie
would soon be called to consider
the President's suggestion. D
Little said that no federal investi-
gation would be made unless all
the various parties agreed that
such a course should be taken.

tatives, the oldest forensic organi-
zation on the campus held its

thusiastic and a spirited debate,

feated by a viva voce vote.

INTEREST EVIDENCED IN SPEAKERS
LISTED ON ORATORICAL PROGRAM
From the unusual interest al-
ready shown in the Oratorical As-
sociation lecture course as an-

indications are that the one this

cessful ever offered. The general
opinion is that the course is the
finest of its kind ever given.
