CANDIDATES IN DUST HOLIDAY .Major Party Candidates Put In Busy Holiday Weekend Washington. Sept. 8. — <U.R> — Major party candidates rested today after a busy holiday week end. President Roosevelt put the finishing touches on the text of a 1 major address he will deliver at 1 t'hartotte, N. C., Thursday during I a tour of Tennessee and North Carolina. Gov. Alf M. Landon was back in Topeka. Kan., after a journey to Wichita. Kan., where he told the state American Legion convention that labor must retain Its unity to be effective in bringing about a 1 higher standard of living. Former President Hoover, moving eastward to aid Landon's cam-. paign, discussed politics with friends In Chicago. He has a speaking engagement in New York I in behalf of the Kansas governor's) candidacy. I Frank Knox, Landon's running; mate, continued his cross-country campaign with a speech at Alma, 1 Mich.,” in which ne charged that the Roosevelt administration had "fomented labor strife." In Chicago. Rep. William Lemke, | Union party candidate for the presidency, recommended in a speech that the government use its own money and credit to retire its tax-exempt interestbearing bonds and apply the 11,000,000.000 he estimated it would save yearly to an old-age pension fund. Mr. Roosevelt's distant cousin. Col. Theodore Roosevelt, swung into the campaign at Old Orchard Beach. Me., witb an assertion that “those who wish a Russian, German or Italian type of government" will vote for the president In November. Another attack on the Roosevelt administration was made by Jay N. "Ding" Darling, former head of the bureau of biological survey, who declared in a radio address that no progress has been made in drought relief. -o ROOSEVELT TO ■ (qONTINUBD FROM PAGE ONE) in a general campaign to put people back to work. The employment service, organized In July 1933. has made 16,000,000 placements in the last three years, director W. Frank Persons told the United Press. He explained, however, that this did not mean that jobs had been found for 16.000.000. "Some of the men were given temporary jobs and returned to us several times for replacement," he said.

The curtain never drop? -.n that great American tragedy known u "Death on the Highway!.” Night falls and the stage is darkened, but Death stalks on. Indeed, the drama quickens, for under cover of darkness the grim villain of the piece exacts his heaviest toll. Danger looms too suddenly out of the shallows. There often isn’t time to avert it. Careless pedestrians fall under speeding wheels.

side address that: “There are those who fall to read both the hlkuh of the times I and American history. They would try to refuse the worker any effective power to bargain collectively. to earn a decent livelihood and to acquire security It Is those I shortsighted ones, not labor, who thieuivii this country with class dissension which in other countries has led to dictatorship and the establishment of fear and hut- ' red as the dominant emotions in ' human life." Then he continued, in purl: "Our needs are ones In building , an orderly economic democracy in which all can profit and in which all can be secure * • *. Faulty economic direction * • • brought us to the brink of common ruin seven years ago. “1 want to make It clear that no simple panacea can be applied to the drought problem in the whole of the drought area. Plans must depend on local conditions * * *. i As we get this program Into operation the people more and more I will be able to maintain themselves securely on the land. "The farmers of America want ' a sound national agricultural polI icy in which a permanent land use I program will have an important ’ place. They want assurance against ' another year like 1932 when they made good crops but had to sell them for prices that meant ruin I just as surely as did the drought. "Our modern civilization can and should devise a more successful means by which the excess supplies of bumper years can be conserved for use in lean years.” o SAN SEBASTION IS (CONTINUEp FROM PAGE ONE) mite. So terrific is it that I, watching from a distance of 100 yards, have twice been knocked down an entire flight of stairs by the concussion of explosions alone. But in the cellars of the fortress are 1.200 men. women a.nd children who have held out valiantly for weeks, with little food and water and less hope of rescue, and as I write they are contemptuously holding out still. To show i their spirit, a rebel rifleman has ' just picked off a stray cat wandering across the plaza in front of me. To observe the final phase of the investiture of the old Moorish palace I took up a post on a balcony overlooking the ’ plaza de ' Zocodover, 100 yards from the northwest corner of the Alcazar. There hitting in an arm chair, I 1 saw the bombardment. It was quiet in the morning. In 1 the afternoon loyalists 15.5 centi- '; metre guns (about 6 inches) beI gan to boom from a hill outside ‘ the city. The fire was directed against the northwest tower, and j thence along the beautiful north facade with its sculptured portal ; and windows. The facade was 1 . reduced to a heap of stone and ' mortar. An enormous hole was I opened in the tower, extending ' i from just under the roof nearly •I to the ground level. I strolled aibout the city listen- ' Ing to the gossip of townspeople, 1: now accustomed to the cra.sh of I the shells into th4 fortress. I ' i returned to my watching post in ’half an hour to find the difference ■ i tragic. The shelling had blasted I away quite half the tower and the pile of rubbish in the patio had grown higher. The drone of an airplane attracted my eyes. For a moment there ' was panic in the streets but it was seen that the plane was a loyalist one.

, Bright lights glare. Drivers crash i into fixed objects and into each ; other. , Statistics prepared by the Travi elers Insurance Company show ■ that deaths after dark last year i numbered 21,480, while deaths during the normal hours of daylight, ; when traffic was much heavier, . numbered but 14,620. The moral is clear: When the sun goes down, slow down.
