HOOVER SEIZES ON 'SUP' MADE! BY ROOSEVELT Hint That Supreme Court Is Republican-Ruled May Be Answered Here. BY WALKER STONE Timi— Stall Wrltfr ABOARD HOOVER'S SPECIAL TRAIN,'-Oct. 28.—President Hoover's Republican advisers who have j helped him prepare the speech he j will deliver in Indianapolis tonight | were predicting freely that the speech easily would eclipse the address which Governor Albert C. | Ritchie is to deliver before a rival audience. The President's associates are counting heavily on the belief that Ritchie will concentrate on prohi- j bition, for many years the favorite ‘ subject of the free state Governor. | Hoover, it is said, will deliver an j omnibus address, touching on as many issues as possible, with particular emphasis on the tariff and the farm problem. May Spring Sensation One unconfirmed rumor—and it will be the sensation of the speech if the rumor proves true—is that the President will take the opportunity in the Indianapolis address to denounce Governor Roosevelt for the passing reference made by the Democratic candidate in Baltimore Tuesday night to the United States supreme court. Republican -spokesmen throughout the, country are seizing upon this obvious slip of the tongue as the "big Democratic campaign blunder” wjiich for months they predicted. It is the old mountain of a molehill strategy. No one who was in the Armory at Baltimore Tuesday night thought there was any sinister motive in Roosevelt's mention of the supreme court. Ridiculing the Republican argument that the failure of the administration to defeat the depression was due to the Democratic house of representatives in the last session,' Roosevelt pointed out that for many years previous the Republicans had control of the executive branch of the federal government, of both houses of congress, "and, I might add, of the supreme court as well.” Just an Afterthought The reference to the supreme court was not in his prepared manuscript and he uttered it as though rounding out a sentence when he looked up from his manuscript and smiled out over his audience. Persons close to the President say that he intends to make the most of his rival’s slip of the tongue, and attack him bitterly, charging tkat he slandered the supreme tribunal by insinuating that politics plays a part in its decisions. If the President docs not mention this at Indianapolis, it is said he will do so in his New York speech next Monday. t The Hoover strategy does not call for discussion of prohibition in the Indianapolis speech. His advisers believe that prohibition, as an issue of the campaign, is fading rapidly into the background and that economic issues are moving to the front. Indiana having large agricultural and industrial interests, it would be logical for Hoover to stress the alleged benefits of the Republican protective tariff and outline, as he did at Des Moines, his proposals for farm relief. Reports from Indftmapolis that Hoosier Democrats are trying to organize a demonstration for Ritchie that will outshine the Hoover demonstration are not taken seriously by the presidential party. They say it is ludicrous to believe that any speaker can draw in a midwestern city a larger crowd than the President of the United States. They argue that the people of the midwest do not often have opportunity to see and hear a President and that the magic of his high office will draw thousands of the opposing political faith. Senator James E. Watson and a large crowd of Hoosiers are expected to board the special when it crosses the Indiana line about noon. Ample accommodations have been provided. Nine Cars on Train Sie Hoover special is a nine-car i—the President's private car, a lounge car, a club car, four sleepers, a diner, and a car for the crew. In the President’s immediate party are Mrs. Hoover; two of the President's secretaries, Lawrence Richey and Walter H. Newton; the President’s administrative assistant, French Strother, the man who helps write the President's speeches; former Senator Henry J. Allen of Kansas, publicity director of the Republican national committee; Dr. Joel T. Boone, the President's physician; Miss Mildred Hall, Mrs. Hoover's secretary; three other White House stenographic secretaries, Myra McGrath, Ann Shankey and Dorothy Eastman, and a half dozen secret service men. The party also includes twentyeight newspaper men and photographers and seven attaches of the Republican national committee. RATS MUST GO FROM STATEHOUSE. IS EDICT Rodents Taking Over Capitol, Says Auditor; Seeks Pied Piper. Regardless of the election.winner, rats arc going to be driven from the statehouse. Real rats—the kind with no political leanings—as big as cats, literally arc "taping over” the Capitol. Floyd E. Williamson, state auditor, divulged today. The climax"came when one of the rodents, residing in the "clover” of the auditor’s files, was sighted by a girl employe whose shrieks brought out all of tlie state's available rat-trapping equipment. And the rat was caught. ‘‘lf there's second Pied Piper of Hamlin looking for a profitable job. w’ed like to talk with him,” Williamson announced. i-IFE OF~ CLOSE SHAVES’ O’NEILL.

Hiram Johnson on Stump for Roosevelt; Teddy Jr. Praises Record of Hoover; Van Nuys Scores Watson’s Bank^Stand

Bp United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 28 —Entry of Senator Hiram Johnson, Republican. into a Democratic campaign for the first time in his long political career, has added another question mark to one of the most uncertain national campaigns ever held in California. Johnson tonight will appeal to Progressive Republicans of California to cast aside party lines in a rebuke to what he has termed the ultra-conservatism of President Hoover. His stand already has been indorsed by some state leaders of organized labor, and by his lieutenants in the progresssive wing of the Republican party. The practical effect of the senator’s public indorsement of Roosevelt in changing votes has political observers guessing. For Franklin D. Roosevelt to carry California on Nov. 8, Demo- ' rats must make serious Inroads on e registered Republican voting rength. There are 1,565,264 Reblican voters and 1,161,482 Dem•jrats. Roosevelt must capture approximately a quarter-million Republican ballots to carry the state. Young T. R. Lauds Hoover i Hu I nit Id Pr< ss WASHINGTON, Oct. 28. —Reelection of President Hoover “Will I set the feet of our people on the right road,” said Governor-General ! Tneodore Roosevelt of the Phillipines Thursday in a campaign address at Manila. The Republican national committee, which gave out the text, arranged for the address to be broadcast in the United States. Roosevelt reviewed what he considered the major accomplishments of the Hoover administration, listing: Maintenance of wage scales, promulgation of a policy of building "useful public works,” national direction of welfare and relief work, extension of the resources of the federal loan credit banks for the aid of the farmer, maintenance of the gold standard, formation of the national credit association, creation of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. Van Nuys to Tour City Three meetings have been included in the itinerary of Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic nominee for United States senator, who will make a tour of the city Monday -night. Announcement was made' from Democratic Marion county headquarters today that Van Nuys first will speak at Twenty-ninth and Clifton streets, at a combined meeting of Fourth ward and Wayne township Democrats. The second meeting will be at 227 North New Jersey street. Later he will address Warren township Democrats at the Cumberland community house. Hits Watson Defenders Criticism * today was hurled at labor union members who have announced their support of Senator James E. Watson, by Fred Galloway of the Labor Anti-Watson League. Galloway’s rebuke was aimed specifically at Joseph M. Taylor, member of Indianapolis Typographical Union No. 1, and at James H. Drill of the Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, No. 699. Both men have assailed Galloway for his opposition to Watson. "The American Federation of Labor officially has announced its opposition to Watson,” Galloway declared. "I believe that Marion county union men should do the same.” Harrison Visits Here Senator Pat Harrison. Democrat, of Mississippi, visited Democratic officials here briefly today en route to Logansport, where he will speak tonight. Royal Welcome to Curtis Bp limes Special NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Oct, 28. Four bands, two drum corps and six quartets and choruses will take part in the Republican rally at Sheridan which will welcome VicePresident 'Charles Curtis to Indiana, Nov. 1, according to arrangements announced here today by Lyman H. Cloe, general chairman. Curtis will speak at 5:30 p. m. Two large elephants will be the feature of a colorful parade of 1,200 young Republicans which will precede the Vice-President’s address. In the march will be the Sheridan band, the Lebanon Military 'band, the Tipton Young Men’s band, the Elephants band of Danville, the Frankfort Legion drum corps, and the Tipton Young Men’s drum corps.

The Magic Number—266 Two hundred sixty-six electoral votes—one more thani half the total —are necessary to elect a President this November. About everybody in the country is busy with pencil and paper and a list of all the forty-eight states, figuring out how either Hoover or Roosevelt can secure that number. The Democrats start with the solid south, add the west or most of it, throw in one of two from the mid-west, and presto!—Roosevelt is elected! The Republicans claim solid New England and middle Atlantic territor. add most of the middle west, take one or two states west of the Mississippi, and presto!—Hoover is elected! It’s anybody's guess. Our Washington Bureau has ready for you a bulletin showing’ the actual vote—popular and electoral—of each and every state in the Union for the last nine elections—from 1396 to 1928.

"Because of the law, rail executives are just about tied hand and foot and have great difficulty'in functioning in proper management of the great transportation lines of the country,” Watson said. “I am much inclined to be for relaxation of many of these regulations and restrictions of the interstate commerce commission.” Van Nuys Scores Watson By Times Special LA PORTE, Ind., Oct. 28.—Senator James E. Watson never has been the friend of the small home owners and the workers, as he has tried to infer, by claiming responsibility for the federal home loan bank bill, Frederick Van Nuys, Democratic candidate for the United States senate, charged here on Thursday night. "After years of Noting according to dictates of the Mellon family, Watson comes back to you with the story of how he beat down obstacles to get the home loan bank bill passed,” Van Nuys said. “Everybody knows that he kept that bill in committee for seven months and instructed members of the ccmmittee to hold it there, and only when he thought it would win votes back home did he beat down the opposition which he himself had .created,” Hapgood Will Speak Bp Times Sjiccial BLOOMINGTON.

Rose Pastor Stokes, Firebrand of Old, Visions Soviet in U. S.

BY MARGUERITE YOUNG Times Staff Writer NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Rose Pastor Stokes, ill, sat in her cabin in the Connecticut woods today, quietly envisaging a “United States of Soviet America.’’ “I’ll pull through,” she said, “I’m determined. I must see a Soviet America. I will see the workers here rise to power’and build their own world as they are doing in Soviet Russia—a world in which there will be no unemployment, hunger, insecurity, or war.” The “Rose of the Ghetto,” who led half a dozen strikes or more, was sentenced to ten years in the Missouri state prison for violation of the federal espionage act and figured in Socialist activities for years before she became s a Communist, still is in close touch with the radical movement, although she has been ill for three years. Her voice today was only an echo of that which reached the highestperched listener in Carnegie Hall those dusty years ago. But its modulation was the same as when her war-time agitation created political sensations as great as those that rocked society when she was married to—and twenty years later divorced from —James Graham Phelps Stokes, millionaire philan-* thropist. “This is the day for which all history has waited, the day when the end of capitalism is in sight,” she observed. “This is the crisis out of which there is only one true, permanent way—the workers’ way, a United States of Soviet America. “And the Communist party—that is, the Communist International in its various sections throughout the world—is the leader of the working class. The embattled farmers out west are marching under the slogans of the Communist party; the B. E. F. struggle for the bonus can not be mentioned without citing the leadership of the Communists. Yes, this is the day. for this crisis is different from others. “Perhaps it won’t be today or tomorrow, but you know that workers will not starve forever.” Would they “starve"—under the capitalist system—say, fifty years? “No,” she answered certainly. “Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt, of course, offer no way

Walsh Raps Standpatters OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 28.—"Standpat” continues to be the motto of the Republican party, and the spirit of Mark Hanna still rules their organization, Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Montana, said in a Democratic campaign speech here Thursday night. The "standpat” policy, he added, has brought ruin upon the country and "should be repudiated by the people in the coming election.” "The country is sick unto death," Walsh said. "In certain quarters there is speculation as to whether civilization is not on the verge of dissolution.” Republican administrations since 1921 have turned deaf ears to the pleas of agriculture for* relief, he said. 100 at Meeting Approximately one hundred persons attended a meeting of the Eighth Ward Republican Club Thursday night at 1309 North Pennsylvania street.

lAL SMITH RIPS INTO HOOVER; RAPSPOLICIES Urges Throng of 20,000 in Boston to Vote for ‘Frank Roosevelt/ j Bp United Press BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 28.—“ The unqualified, full and complete support of Franklin D. Roosevelt and John N. Garner” was asked of the voters of Massachusetts Thursday night by Alfred E. Smith in an address to 20,000 of his followers. The former New York Governor’s speech, made with his characteristic vigor, denounced the Republican administration, attacked President Hoover’s Detroit speech, defended his previous utterance charging the Republican management with “bigotry,” and urged all Democrats to support the national ticket. “I was not satisfied with that Chicago convention,” Smith declared, “and I know you were not satisfied with it. But listen! We settle these troubles in our party. We don’t wan’t any advice, and above everything else, we war# no sympathy from Senator Moses or from his Republican cohorts.’' Attacks Detroit Speech Smith attacked President Hoover —and once more brought in the name of Roosevelt—wherv he discussed the President’s statements regarding veterans’ relief, in his Detroit speech. He said: "The President said in answer to the Democratic candidate, Frank Roosevelt, that even if he stopped all public works, he finally would have to take $500,000,000 from the veterans, and he said that would be a grave injustice. “A grave injustice to whom? To the taxpayers? That is the gross injustice, because there are men receiving money from the federal government today that not only never left this country, but never saw any kind of service, were never injured in the service, or ]tl|ve no disability directly traceable to the service.” Lashes at Tariff “Let us give the spe’ech another ! look,” he continued. “He says ‘it j can be demonstrated that the tide has turned, and that the gigantic forces of depression are in retreat.’ "Why, the real fact is, if you take New York as a barometer, and it ought to be a fair one, there are more people out of work today than there were at this time a year ago.” The former Democratic candidate attacked the tariff as keeping goods cut of the country, pleading that “the only way they (foreign nations) can pay us is in goods.” "And the funny part of it is,” he continued, “that all the high administrative officers in Washington refer to the "plight of our neighbors abroad.’ And when they are sinking and calling for a life preserver, the national administration throws them an anchor.” Raps B. E. F. Tragedy Smith criticised the administration’s handling of the bonus army, and said it was the place of the President "as commander-in-chief of the United States army, to go out and talk to them and explain the situation of the finances of the country with respect to the claims they were making.” In defense of his Newark speech, in which he charged that the Republican campaign management had been responsible for “bigotry” in the 1928 campaign, Smith said: “I proposed to show that the money required to spread the propaganda of religious bigotry in 1928 was supplied by the Republican committee. Smith concluded with another appsal that ’"the salvation of the country” depends on the success of the Democratic ticket,” and urged election of his party’s nominees for i all national and state offices.

She helped Philadelphia women boycott profiteering butchers and enlisted in the early battles of Margaret Sanger and the Birth Control League. She withdrew from the Socialist party with the beginning of the war, but in a year was back again. Arrested at Springfield, Mo., and again in Kansas City, she was convicted and sentenced. In three years the case was dismissed without comment, but in the meantime she had been arrested with eighty-four Communists and charged with consipracy to overthrow the government. Later she was indicted for criminal syndicalism in Chicago. As late as 1922 she was arrested and charged with sedition for secret Communist meetings in Michigan.

ROOSEVELT IN LEAD, 3 TO 2, IN DIGEST POLL •Carrying 41 States to Hoover's 7/ Says Magazine. Bp United Press NEW YORK. Oct. 28.—Tabluation of nearly 3.000.900 ballots in the Literary Digest nation-wide poll shows Franklin D. Roosevelt leading President Herbert Hoover by a ratio of 3 to 2 ift the total vote, and ®arrying" forty-one states to his opponent's seven, the magazine announced today. President Hoover showed a slight gain over the previous tabulation, and the vote in New York state continued to be closer than any other, with Roosevelt less than 10.000 ballots ahead outof approximately 325,000 votes cast. The race also is close in Delaware, where Roosevelt’s lead of 202 votes last week was cut to 175 today. "Several states where the vote is close,” the Literary Digest pointed out.
