This article presents information about the book "Up to Now. An Autobiography," by Alfred E. Smith. The story as thoroughly American, in the best onward and upward tradition, as the story of Abraham Lincoln or Benjamin Franklin and it brings the sidewalks of New York into the classical American landscape. Mr. Smith does give some interesting sidelights on the tasks of being legislative leader and governor in the largest State in the Union. It is interesting to note that he emphasizes his stand for decency and sanity during the witch-hunting days at the close of the First World War. The book yields little nutriment in political or economic theory. In regard to political causes Mr. Smith is wholly naive.
