DEMOCRATS OF 1 STATE SPURRED BY ROOSEVELT Leaders Return Home With Hopes High, Determined to Push Campaign. BY BEN STERN Confident that riothing can halt *fielr advance to victory at the polls Nov. 8 because their Jinx has been overcome, Indiana Democratic leaders today returned to their homes preaching a militant democracy. The visit and addresses here Thursday of Frank D. Roosevelt, the Democratic presidential nominee, are given full credit, because, to the managers, it Indicated that the proDemocratic sentiment is not on the wane. * "Our party jinx in Indiana has, as long as I remember, been the fact that we always brought our dampalgn to a climax too early and permitted a swing back In sentiment,” declared one of the veterans. Say “Jinx” Is Beaten Cause for this jubilation that the “jinx has been laid" was the enormous crowd which turned out to parade in honor of the nominee; the throngs lined along Washington street and the more than 75,000 packed into the Monument Circle. Cbrfespondents, who traveled with Roosevelt, declared this was the largest audience he had addressed ,in the camj>aign. The next largest was at Seagirt, N. J. Attitude and reaction of the crowd was studied carefully by those attached to Roosevelt’s party. When after a half-hour the parade still was passing the nominee’s automobile, one of the attaches who had carefully scrutinized the marchers said:: “It looks like a parade of the unemployed.” Roosevelt Is Impressed Roosevelt was impressed by the demonstration. So dense was the throng along Washington street from New Jersey street to Capitol avenue that the motorcycle police were forced to press back the crowd to permit the automobiles to pass. Altogether approximately 200,000 people cither saw the parade or heard the address. ' It was the largest outpouring in the history of the state for a political address, and was far larger than the crowd which greeted Theodore Roosevelt in 1912. Never before had so many women turned out to hear a political address. "We want besr!” “What do you say about a bonus for our husbands!” were expressions frequently beard among the women listeners. Shakes Hands With a ‘Guy* Roosevelt was responsive to greetings and questions during the parade. Passing New Jersey and Washington streets, the nominee’s car slowed and a man stepped from the throng which lined the sidewalk. "How would you like to shake hands with the guy who wants to see beer come back?” he asked Roosevelt. “It’s o. k. with me,” Roosevelt said, leaning out of the car and clasping hands with the questioner. Throughout the huge crowd which .assembled at the Monument came comments of a "fine speech” and a “a fine fellow” as Roosevelt talked.

Like Stand on Beer ‘There doesn’t seem to be any question about it any more,” one man told a woman companion. "When Indianapolis turns out a sea of hats like this for Roosevelt it looks pretty well cleaned up.” The candidate’s remark that he would follow the policy of a federal tax on beer to sniffth the wealth of the racketeers brought cheers from a group on the southwest section of the Circle. "We'll take the beer and pay the ■taxes, and we’ll all feel better” one man shouted. Republican leaders, including Senator James E. Watson, declared that they were not alarmed unduly by the size of the crowd. “Any show gets a crowd and, after all, Mr. Roosevelt is a presidential nominee, so why wouldn’t the people turn out to see him?” they asked.

J The Day's Political Roundup — Hoover Plans ‘Fighting Talk’ in Detroit; Thomas Asks Graduated Tax on Wealth

BY HENRY F. MISBELWITZ United Prew Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.—President Hoover will launch another vigorous attack on Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt in his speech at; Olympia hall in Detroit Saturday night. The President will take up the fight he began at Cleveland. 0., last Saturday night, when for the first time in his campaign he came directly to grips with the Democratic nominee on the major issue. He believed that his direct criticism of the Neyv York Governor gained him votes. His advisers are telling him the tiling to do is keep pounding away along those lines. Hence, while he again will bring out the record of his administration, the "fighting phase” of his Detroit address will be devoted to another pummeling of Governor Roosevelt’s tactics and policies. He may discuss his opponent’s bonus stand. Tax on Wealth Urged By I nitrd Press COLUMBUS, 0., Oct. 21.—A graduated tax on wealth to raise between thirty-five and fifty-five billions with which to “cut out the cancer of debt” is proposed by Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President. Such tax, levied in graduated scale on all listed securities,.bank deposits, notes, insurance policies, real estate and other properly, is part of the Socialist program to end foreclosures, wage reductions and unemployment of present* times, Thomas said in an address here Thursday night. "It should be collected by the federal government, which alone can do it equitably in all forty-eight states,” Thomas said. “The power to levy It, if in doubt, clearly is included in the twentieth amendment, in which Socialists propose to give congress power to do what is necessary for the economic and social well-being of the nation. “If congress has not and can not be given the power, our hope of avoiding violent revolution or attempts at revolution is desperately small. "The procedure would be relatively simple. Assessment would follow the procedure of the ordinary inheritance tax.” Garner ‘Calls’ Hoover By I nitrd Prt ss WASHINGTON, Oct. 21—President Hoover has been called on by Speaker John N. Garner, Democratic vice-presidential nominee, to “say why the promises which he made in other days have not been carried out.” Garner, referring to campaign “prosperity” statements of Mr. Hoover in 1928, charged the President “very carefully had avoided” mention of them. “Mr. Hoover must do more than apologize for things as they are. He must answer on his own record,” said the Speaker, in a statement issued Thursday night, accusing the President of taking credit for Democratic inspiration legislation, and of failing to carry out his campaign promises of four years ago. "In his Des Moines speech he raised mendacious doubts as to our stability,” said Garner. “I, however, am forced to the conviction that the ‘risk’ of this change is one which the American people can face today with a far better prospect for the future than through a continuation of what Mr. Hoover has given us.”

Mills Will Be Target B !f Scripps-Howard .V rwspaprr AltiaUcc WASHINGTON, Oct. 21. —Democratic orators are preparing to turn their guns on Ogden L. Mills, secretary of the treasury, whose economic addresses generally are conceded to be the most effective arguments made by Republicans for re-election of President Hoover. The Democrats intend to make Mills a target on two points. They plan to point out that in his last two speeches he did not back up Hoover’s Des Moines statement that last winter this country was within two weeks bf going off the gold standard. Hoover said he was given this solemn warning in February by-Mills. The Democrats also hope to stir strife New York Republicans and followers of the late Theodore Roosevelt by blaming Mills for Hoover's recall of the order summoning young Theodore Roosevelt back from ihe Philippines to campaign for Hoover. Democratic broadcasts will say that Mills blocked Roosevelt's return for fear the latter would weaken the cabinet member’s reputed effort to place himself in line for the presidential nomination in 1936. • Farley to Speak Here James A. Farley,- chairman of the national Democratic committee, will arrive in Indianapolis today to confer with party workers and address a rally at Tomlinson hall at 8.

Oct. 21.—President Hoover was accused of attempting to "wreck” the federal power commission in its regulating activities Thursday, by Charles A.

' “The fundamental responsibility for riullification of the federal water power act and the continued congestion of fictitious investment claims of power companies rest squarely upon the shoulders of

2 AMENDMENTS UP FOR VOTE Income Tax and New Bar Rules Before State. Levying of an income tax and more drastic regulation of bar admissions are proposed amendments to the state Constitution to be voted on Nov. 8, election officials reminded voters today. The first proposed amendment, requiring three-fourths of the state’s total vote, would amend state laws to permit the legislature to levy a tax on incomes, now a controversial issue. The second proposed amendment, backed by bar associations, would change existing laws to admit all voters of good moral character to practice, but would strengthen the present examination system. President Hoover,” Russell declared. "If the people want a change to an honest regulation of these utilities, vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt.” Thousands to March By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 21.—A torchlight parade of 3,000 persons through mid-Manhattan, the first of its kind in New York since the days of President Cleveland, will welcome Governor Franklin D.

Everett Saunders, chairman of the Republican national committee, charged Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt Thursday night with evading the question of the soldiers’ bonus. “The Governor's failure to take a definite stand on the immediate payment of the bonus can be attributed only to his characteristic inability to squarely face any issue and come to a definite decision upon it,’ said Saunders. Raskob Gives $25,000 By United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-John J. Raskob, former Democraticnational Chairman, Thursday contributed $25,000 to the Roosevelt-Garner campaign funds.

Farley, at a meeting of thi campaign finance committee. Watson Hits Roosevelt Launching a tirade against Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Indianapolis Senator James E. Watson ended a statement today

bv holding himself up as defending the nation from the “greenback bugaboo of bonus payment.” He cited the Democratic presidential candidate's silence here on nonpayment of the bonus as designated to protect from embarrassment the pro-bonus stand of his (Watson’s) Democratic opponent in the senatorial race—Frederick Van Nuys. “I submit in all fairness that a candid reading of the Roosevelt speech here fails to disclose a single specific declaration of purpose or a definite declaration of his intention, should he be elevated to the high place he is seeking,” Watson said. Harrison Hits Sectionalism Charging the Democratic controlled national house of representatives “is too interested in benefiting the southern states, which always can be depended on to vote Democratic,” William Henry Harrison, Republican candidate for congress from the Twelfth district, in political speeches made Thursday night, asserted that “Democratic legislation usually is directed against the best interests of northern states.

FRENCH ACTION TO BLOCK DEBT .PAYMENT SEEN Parliament Moves Also to Seek - Revision After U> S. Elections. BY WALLACE CARROLL United Presi Staff Correspondent PARIS, Oct. 21.—An attempt by parliament to block the December payment of the French war debt to the United States, and a move for debt revision after the American elections appeared likely today. These developments directly were opposed to the interpretation of a speech delivered by Premier Edouard Herriot to the foreign affairs commission of. the chamber. The press received the definite impression that France was willing to pay $400,000,000 due on the commercial debt, but would seek cancellation of the money borrowed during the war. French overtures to Washington after the election, the United Press learned, will be based on a supposed

distinction between commercial and what it calls a “political bet.” France will seek to bring the American debt arrangements into
