LAST OF LINCOLN AVE. -- J Public Forum Editor, WINNETKA TALK: I happen to have an aunt who is very articulate about Al Smith. She sways crowds with her enthusiasm... or, at least, so I read in the papers a few days ago. At any rate, I envy her the emotional release of being able to get up and shout from the house- tops: "I'm voting for Al Smith, and I'm terribly proud to be voting for Al Smith " There is a certain lift, an exhilara- tion about this man Al Smith that is thrilling the nation now as they have not been thrilled since first Armistice Day. In voting for him, we are not committing ourselves to the platform of a political party so much as to an attitude toward life. It seems to me that with his charm, his engaging honesty, and above all, his "flair for reality" he is more an artist than a politician, or, in other words, an ar- tist of politics. But I am not writing this letter to try to convince anyone of my own ideas (which are usually flighty). I am writing it to ask the readers of this newspaper to look up an analysis of the deeper influences in the election published in the October 31 New Re- public called "Why I Am Voting For Al Smith" by Felix Frankfurter. He presents eight brilliant and profound arguments for voting the democratic ticket this fall. I have no space to even enumerate these issues but the article as a whole leaves us with the vivid picture of Al Smith as a great political educator... a man who is not only passionately interested in re- form but who also possesses the "power of presentation and persuasion to win the indifferent and haughty to such reforms." This admirable article includes a quotation from Emerson, which, in defining the character of Al Smith, pays him a great tribute; the greatest perhaps that has been paid to any man in public life with the single exception of Abe Lincoln. May I quote Emer- son's well known words which, accord- ing to Mr. Frankfurter, find illustra- tion in the democratic candidate for President of the United States: "Tt is easy in the world to live after the world's opinion; it is easy in soli- tude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweet- ness the independence of solitude." --Polly Chase Boyden. Opens Home for Lectures on "Unity in Religion" Mrs. Enos M. Barton, 978 Euclid avenue, Hubbard Woods, is opening her home for a series of four talks to be given by Albert Vail on "Unity in Religion," Monday mornings at 10 o'clock on November 5, 12, 26, and De- cember 3.

"What Did Christ Mean When He Said, 'I and the Father Are One--You in Me and I in You." A cordial invitation has been ex- tended to all who are interested. BETROTHAL ANNOUNCED Mr. and Mrs. W. G.
