Al Smith Angered By Mills
Says “I’ll Lay My Private
Life Alongside His Anytime”
Governor Smith lost his temper
Wednesday night and in a burst of
anger demanded that Con. Ogden
L. Mills retract a statement attri-
buted to him in The Sun earlier in
the day. He bade his rival to do
it at the earliest opportunity or
take the consequences. At the sump
time. the governor defied Mr. Hills
to find anything in his private life
to which objection could be raised.
and he dared Mr. Mills to compare
their two lives outside of public of-
flee.
The governor‘s intense anger was
shown at the Morris lligh school. in
the Bronx. where he made the one
speech he was to make during the
evening. it was oecasioncd by a
story in an evening newspaper quot-
ing Mr. Mills as saying of Smith
in a speech before the Advertising
club "he canno‘. be trusted either
in public or private life."
Governor Smith rose on the plat-

crowd, with the newspaper in his
hand. red-faced and obviously re-
straining himself with difliculty.
Says Mills Lost His Read.
“Before I address myself to the
subject of the evening." began the
governor. “I wan‘. to reply to what
Congressman Mills said this after-
noon. I was not sure when 1 look-
ed at the paper whether I had read
it right. so I looked a second time
and studied his remarks carefully.
"There is such a thing as so am-
bitious man like Congressman Mills
losing his head when it comes to-
ward the close of a campaign. I am
satisfied he lost his this sfternoorf.
But if he wants to live up to the
rigors of a campaign he shouldn't
lose it. and'when he does he mus‘.
take the consequences."
"My public life has been the ob-
ject of the “severest scrutiny. One
particular man of vast fortune spent
a considerable amount, probably
enough to keep me in comfort dur-
ing the rest of my life. investigating
me in the hope of getting something
on me. He didn't find anything. so
much for the public life. I'll com-
pare my private life with Congress-
man Mills' or any other man's. I
care not who he is."
The governor paused. and then,
with solemnity. went on:
"Twenty-seven years ago I knelt
before the altar in St. Augustine's
Church. and in the presence of God
Almighty promised to care for. hone
or and protect the woman of my
choice. And if I suddenly was ush-
ered tonight before the Great White
Throne I would be prepared to es-
tnbllsh that I had kept that prom-
ise. Let the Congressman lay his
private life alongside of mine. So
much for that:
“Naturally, when I any that it is
with a little bit of heat, but. any
man who wouldn't resent such
charges either would be wrong or
wouldn't have any red blood in him.
And he'll retract that; he'll have to
do it in his own interest. if he
doesn't do it for any other reason.
Now we will proceed to business."
