Former Gov Alfred E Smith speaking as a private citizen urged the Democratic party to wipe out its 1928 deficit of about 1.5 million dollars and form a permanent, fighting organization. He called for contributions and a party that operates continuously for the rights of all people and the vindication of Democratic principles. He hinted at a southern trip and his freedom from office after 25 years, with no clear plans announced.
