	Al Smith - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Alfred Emanuel Smith (December 30, 1873–October 4, 1944), often known as Al Smith, was Governor of New York and a U.S. presidential candidate in 1928.
		Smith was born to Irish Catholic immigrants and initially grew up in relative comfort on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, on Oliver Street, New York City, before he quit school and began work at the age of fourteen, after his father's death, who was a lorrie driver and veteran of the Civil War.
		Smith's campaign theme song, "The Sidewalks of New York", was not likely to appeal to people in Missouri, although it was emblematic to those who saw the kind of society he hoped to build, and Smith's own brogue seemed foreign to many people.
