Additions to the Smith movement included:

Charles W. Clark, mining man, Republican since 1896, son of the late, famed Senator William Andrews Clark of Montana. Reason: "Whether they wish to or not the American people today must recognize that the main issue of this campaign is that of personal liberty."

Ray Stannard Baker ("David Grayson"), author and publicist, biographer of Woodrow Wilson. Reason: "Candid, progressive, humane." Nonpartisan, a friend of both Nominees, Mr. Baker kept both their pictures on his study wall until he made up his mind. Last week he removed the Hoover picture.

Mrs. Curtis L. Guild, widow of a onetime (1906-09) Governor of Massachusetts, Republican. Reason: "The Republican Party needs reforming."

Ralph Adams Cram, Boston architect, medievalist, "high-church" Episcopalian. Reason: "To express my own disgust at the ignorance and superstition now rampant . . . this recrudescence of blatant bigotry."

Thomas Gerald Condon and Spruille Braden, mining men, Manhattan Republicans. Reason: Prohibition.

Jerome Davis Greene, Manhattan Republican, partner in Lee, Higginson & Co., long associated with the Rockefeller Foundation. Reason: doubt that Nominee Hoover has sufficient "diplomacy and tact" to lead Congress and public opinion.

"I have selected my man as carefully as I chose my first pair of long trousers. Of course I am for Governor Smith. I find that most intelligent and broadminded young people heartily approve of him. Briefly, Smith is more of a man than Hoover, has a better record and would make a better President." -Austin Lamont, youngest son of Thomas William Lament, partner in J. P. Morgan & Co. Mr. Lament Sr., is a Hooverite.

Finley Peter Dunne, John Erskine, Montague Glass, Owen Johnson, Rupert Hughes, Anita Loos, Anne Nichols, Channing Pollock, Sherwood Anderson, H. L. Mencken -and 149 other novelists, poets, composers, playwrights, publicists -as an Author's Committee.
