GOV.ROOSEVELT STARTS DRIVE Democratic Nominee | Opens Campaign to Carry New England States

Albany, N. Y„ Oct. 29—UR) — Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt I today continued his drive to win. tbe New England states to his! banner, after an “old time” reun-' ion with Alfred E. Smith in the I executive mansion last night. The governor, preparing toj leave for Massachusetts at noon! today, received from the former' Democratic presidential nominee assurances that any grievances! felt by Smith supporters in that | state, had been "wiped out" by the harmony campaign. Roosevelt’s ' itinerary, as announced by itis managers, was as follows: Leave Albany at noon; arrive at Massachusetts state line at 1 p. m., thereafter traveling to Groton, where his two sons are at school, by wiy of Williamstown.! Nortls Adams, Greenfield, Orange, Albol Gardner. Fitchburg, and: Ayre, where he expects to arrive i at 6:45 p. m The governor will remain in; Groton until Monday, and then! visit Boston, with a possible side 1 (rip to Portland. Me., if he has time. The visit of A1 Smith at the executive mansion came at the close of the former governor's vigorous campaign through Mass-, achusetts for the present nominee. | It came as the result, more than j anything else, of a telephoned! invitation from Roosevelt, who said he wanted to congratulate! and thank Smith for his “splen-j did speeches.” For an hour and a half, the two men chatted in front of a fireplace in the study. At its conclusion, they received newspaper men, and emphasized their friendY liness. Responding to questions as to whether this was "an old-fashion-ed Frttnk and A', get-together, Smith said' “Go as far as you like. If we were a couple 6f Frenchmen, we'd kiss each other. As it is. we have to rely on a handshake " “We talked about the campaign and the situation," the governor explained. "And you don’t see any blood on us, do you?" Smith added, “1 came here on the invitation of the governor," .Smith continued more formally, “to report to him on what I had found out about the situation in New England. I told him I was certain he would carry the states through which I passed ' — Connecticut. Massachusetts and Rhode Island und that they were surely in the Democratic column.” Except on public occasions, notably when the "first reconciliation" took place at the Democratic state convention, last night was the first time the two men have met since tlip Chicago controversy.

HIRAM JOHNSON OPENSBATTLE FOR ROOSEVELT .California Republican Senator Makes Bitter Attack on Hoover Policies COMES OUT OPENLY FOR GOV. ROOSEVELT San Francisco, Oct. 29. — (U.R) — Progressivism. for 20 years a principle upon which public careers were made or crushed in California, I today became a paramount issue of • tlie presidential campaign in President Hoover’s home state. United States Senator Hiram Johnson, throwing his full fighting 1 power behind the campaign of a Democratic candidate for the first time in his long career, pushed the 1 : issue to tlie fore last, night in an at•|tack upon the administration. Seldom in California has a canI didate been so bitterly *aud sweep- | ingly criticized as was Mr. Hoover when the white-haired warrior of 1 the Progressive wing of Republicanism pleaded for the rank and file of I the party to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt for President. 1 “Pilot of a shipwreck" .. . “Auth--1 or of false and fanciful tales of alarm" . . . “as President he has written himself a failure" ... in such biting pharses, Senator John--1 son charged to President Hoover’s ' administration responsibility for alleged lack of farm relief, continued unemployment, existing human misery, American investment in foreign securities of doubtful value, and business stagnation. Johnson* accused the President of “facing both ways" on prohibition ' and praised Roosevelt’s stand as "clean cut.” Eviction of the bonus army from Washington was clossi- • fied as “cruel and cowardly." Tjie senator attacked Reconstruction Finance Corporation loans to huge private enterprises and charged the administration with showing too ' little concern for "those at the bot- ■ tom." The moratorium on foreign debts was criticized. Mr. Hoover’s Des Moines assertion that at one time the nation was within two weeks of being forced from the gold standard was derided by Johnson as “a fanciful tale.” The senator marshalling into one address all the opposition to the I President he had displayed during ! the past four years, pointed to «> specific legislative or executive pf gram to remedy the national conditions he described. Instead, lie stressed only one principle—the one on which his entire political life lias been predicated — Progressiveism. Governor Roosevelt, he said, is a Progressive, President Hoover is not. A change in the entire philosophy of government, rather ' than specific points of a program was demanded.

Ritchie of Maryland prophesied the election of Franklin D. Roosevelt and attacked Republican campaign tactics in a Democratic counter attraction to the appearance of President Hoo ver here last night. I Ritchie spoke to an overflow crowd at t’adle Tabernacle immediate’y after the Hoover meeting five miles away at Butler University fieldhouse.

The 'average man and woman and tlm jman who tramps the street will not 'stand for four more years of Hoover ‘prosperity’.’’ ' Ritchie oenounced the Republican | prohibition plank and declared the I Democratic party offered the only assurance of repeal of the 18th amendment. 1 Tlie Republican plank was described as "a piece of hypocrisy, deception and double dealing." “The effort of our opponents to spread fear and alarm among the i electorate is unworthy." Ritchie | said. "What have the American i people to he afraid of in getting rid iof a national administration whose lunsound political policies have steered the country into the valley of depression and despair?” I The demonstration for Ritchie Was a gay one, reminiscent of the political parades of tli nineties, j Drum corps, marching teams, bands and floats added color to tlie dis- !
