'28 Standing upon a crude wooden platform In the Beverly Hills Forest Preserves, Governor "Al" Smith of New Y'ork mnile his bow to 100,000 Democrats of Chicago and Cooy County Democracy yesterday afternoon for their scrutiny as a 1928 Presidential candidate. Hundreds of automobiles bearing banners and scores of floats wer'.

packed Into the large urea. Thousands of Cook County Democrats were present for the occasion which also provided an opportunity for the launching of Mayor William E. Dever's fight for re-election. Lanes of people extended Into the woodod section as fur as the Governor could see. Mayor Dever, Introducing Governor Smith, gave a long review of his administration, citing his record and characterizing Chicago as "lucky to receive as great a man ns the Governor." Aivonlitl Amazing Greeting.

When fhe Governor was presented the crowd went wild. Cheer tipon cheer was raised. Governor Smith stood smiling until the ucc-lnlm The huge crowd milled around the plutform attempting to reach the hand of the Governor. They stood in upon tree-stumps, and some of the more enthusiastic climbed into the trees. Neither Mayor Dever nor Governor Smith made the slightest reference to the Eighteenth Amendment or its enforcement.

Th se who came expecting to hear a debate between the two executives regarding the prohibition law were disappointed. Governor Smith, in his address, stressed uprn the need for national economy. He urged the consolidation of overlapping bodies In Washington, to the end that governmental expenditures could be brougnl wUh-in a reasonable limit. He voiced his nffection for ar.d gratitude to Yleoipd Brenn-m, head of the local democracy in Cook County, thanking him f.ir the fight that Brennnn had made In his behalf In the Madison Square Garden convention. He paid tribute to Mayor Dever.

In his speech Governor Smith said: "If the strength of the Cook County democracy Is to be reckoned because of numbers, It Is Invincible from the gathering I see here today. To be very honest with yon, I expected a warm welcome In Chicago, because I have grown to- think there is a great feeling nnd singularity as between the City of Chicago nnd the City' of New York. I have a notion that under all this It may be pretty much tHe same kind of people; that they are Inspired through the same channels, but. to see as large a gathering ns this at a nicnlc nnd holiday Is more than 1 expected. City "At Hie present time there la going abroad through the country propaganda that a heavy durden of taxation Is coming from local sources and tho Federal Administration Is effecting wonderful economy.

"We owe, it lo ourselves In the State and in the large municipalities to speak the facts and the thing that Is reducing national expenditures Is largely the reduction thut comes from transferring the country from a war basis to a peace basis, while In the State and In the city we are attempting to catch up In the public improvements that were delayed during the tTie war. i "During the war period there was lull In the public works and public Improvements that had to be taken up during the period of reconstruction, nnd whoever responsible for the propaganda is not entirely fair to the S'ate and to the greater cities and the other civil divisions when they seek to blame entirely the burden of taxation upon the States and our cities. (Cheers). "Every Stote lias its problems. They are similar.

I am about to return to New York and begin an nctlve campaign throughout the length and breadth of tho great State for the solution of some of the principal problems that are pressing the State of New Y'ork."

Davis, former American Under Seo- rctary of Stnte. The action of the Lithuanian minister, unprecedented In the history of the Council, was Inspired by the Council's decision regarding complaints sent to the League from minorities under Lithuanian rule. The Council Instructed the Secretary General to transmit copies of such, complaints to all the Council mem bers, leaving them free to call the matter to the Council's attention If the complaints appeared to warrant such action.

M. Bancour of France, who was presiding, tried to calm the agitated Lithuanian. Lord Cecil offered to draft substitute text so worded as not to hurt Lithuanian susceptibilities, and M. Hymana of Belgium proffered hlsi services in a like capacity, but, not watting the result of their collaboration, M. Galvnnauskas slammed his chair to the floor and made his stormy exit.
