ROOSEVELT TO HIT CLIMAX IN DRIVETONIGHT Democratic Candidate to Make Final Appeal at Madison Square Garden. (Continued from Page One) that the nation narrowly avoided going oIT the gold etandard was "a libel on the credit of the United States,” and said that no adequate answer yet had been made to the recent speech of Senator Carter Glass, who, he asserted, had shown the unsoundness of the President’s declaration. Replying to Republican claims that the Democratic party favored inflation, Roosevelt said that the party's platform specifically declared for a sound currency at all hazards. .The declaration of President Hoover that he “stood by every word” of his 1928 address at Palo Alto, Cal., regarding the ending of poverty, the Governor characterised as “the most surprising statement” ever made by man. Promise Called Absurd “Certainly, 1 subscribe,” he said, “to the ideal expressed by President Hoover in his speech at Madison Square Garden Monday night. But we do not subscribe to the absurd promise of candidate Hoover in 1928.” Regarding the tariff, Governor Roosevelt discussed the operation of the tariff commission in these words: “During two years, President Hoover’s tariff commission has investigated duties upon only seventy-three commodities—seventy-three out oi many thousands. Asa result, eighteen schedules were reduced and thirteen were increased, and it is worth noting that among the articles investigated the commission has busied itself with complete investigation into pipe organs, peppers, egg plants and bicycle bells. “It is worth noting, too that a careful estimate shows that, at the present magnificent rate of progress, President Hoover’s tariff commission will complete its examination schedules and report on them by the year 2,005. Cut Can Be Made Concerning reduction of governmental expenditures, Roosevelt S&id: ~ “At Pittsburgh, I stated there must be a reduction in the cost of government, and set forth in detail the means by which it could be accomplished. In reply, - the President states it can not be done. j people of America demand reduction of federal expenditure. And (hat can be accomplished only by reducing the expenditures of the existing departments and by abolishing many useless commissions, bureaus and functions, and by consolidating many activities of the. government.” Governor Smith also attar:. -ed the problem of “waste in eUSvcrnment,” and scored the “extrava ance and waste and duplication" in government affairs. “But," he said, “Hoover himself, with the aid of a Republican congress, further bedeviled the situatgm by creating in four years, i thirty-five new departments and boards.” A1 Gets Laugh £“At Madison Square Garden," Sftnith continued, “the President made the extraordinary statement t£at if we did anything to the tariff, the churches, the schools, and the hospitals would decay and grass would grow on the principal streets cl our great city. ~“So what do you think I did about i(2? I immediately made arrangements for a putting green.” 'Smith attacked the President’s statement on his prohibition stand in subsequent paragraphs of his speech. s'eveiTare injured in TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS Boy, IS, Seriously Hurt When He Is Run Over by Auto. *Seven persons were injured, one seriously, in traffic mishaps on city streets Friday night, police reports showed today. • Dashing into the side of an auto at Sixteenth and Alabama streets, Jfcck Blount, 13, of 1727 North Alabama street, was run over by the wheels of the car and Injured internally.

No matter whether you are a straight -ticket voter or find that your beliefs call for scratching, the voting machine should hold no terrors to Marion county voters on Tuesday. You will be given one minute, plenty of time to vote and scratch your ticket. But remember these points: On entering the booth, push the curtain lever, above your head, to the extreme right, thus closing the curtain and preparing the machine for your vote. At the left end of the panel appear the party levers. Only Democratic and Republican parties are shown above, but the other parties will be found below these on the panel. For the first time in years, the general, national election finds the Democratic rooster at the top. Select Party Lever A few of the presidential electors and counter sections and some of the other candidates are shown here, but you will find a full list on the board. Select the lever of the party for which you intend to cast the majority of votes. Pull it all the way to the right until the bell rings, then release it. when the . bell rings, all the individual indicators on the party ticket will drop downward. It also unlocks the “Yes” and “No” keys on the constitutional amendments. No. 1 is the income tax amendment and the other is for regulating qualifications for admission to law practice, both of which have been sought for years. How to Scratch If your vote to these is “Yes,” pull down the keys over that word. If you are opposed, pull the keys on “No.” When you pulled the party lever, you voted a “straight” party ticket. Now, consider the scratching methods. When you pulled the Democratic lever you voted a straight Democratic ticket. All the indicators over the names of the candidates dropped downward. To “scratch” a Democratic can-
BACK PLAN TO CENTRALIZE AIO Federation Advocates Poor Relief Headquarters. Approval was given a plan for establishing a central office for city poor relief work at a meeting of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs in the Spink Arms Friday night. A committee to direct establishment of central headquarters will be appointed soon by E. O. Snethen, federation president. The plan was suggested by R. E. Mitchell, who asserted that the arrangement would prevent relief work duplication and simplify operation of charitable brganizations. Criticism was directed at the activity of Miss Hannah Noone, township trustee, in tl*e distribution of poor relief baskets. J. Ed Burke, south side civic leader, charged that the baskets cost taxpayers from $2 to $3, but represent a value less than $1.50. Poor relief work under direction of the trustee is complicated by politics, Burke charged. A letter from Mrs. Florence Stone regarding the Flower Mission hospital for tuberculosis patients, in which the necessity for the institution was cited, was referred to a committee. The federation has approved the plan of the mission constructing the hospital and the city maintaining it. SET ‘Y BIG MEETING’ Season’s First Session to Be Held Nov. 13 at Keith’s.

didate first push up the indicator over his name and then pull down the indicator over the candidate in any other party for whom you wish to vote. In that way you have cast your ballot for a member of another party instead of for the Democratic candidate. This should be repeated on each candidate for whom you wish to scratch. After completing your voting on the machine panel, push the curtain handle, over your hea*d, to the extreme left. Your vote then has been registered. ‘Stop Interest Collection’ “Stop collection of interest on money and the depression will end,” Floyd S.

CLAIM AUTOPSY BEFOREJEATH Officials Sued for $35,000 by Husband. By United Press MILWAUKEE, Nov. s.—La Salle Falk sued authorities today for $35,000 on charges that they started to perform an autopsy on his wife while she still was alive. He accused Coroner Henry Grundman, two of his assistants, and four with taking Mrs. Falk to the morgue, pronouncing her dead and beginning an exploratory operation before she died. Four hours later Dr. Edward Miloslavich, famous pathologist, announced that a spark of life remained in the body. A fire department rescue squad worked an hour and a half in vain before Mrs. Falk was pronounced dead a second time. The case attracted international attention last February. Coroner Grundman later announced his belief that his first death diagnosis was correct. Mrs. Falk slipped on a piece of ice while taking a short cut through a vacant lot near her home. Police, who believed her dead, took the body immediately to the morgue where Coroner Grundman confirmed their belief and began the autopsy. THIEVES’ BOOTY S2OO Homes, Stores and Parked Autos Are Robbed in City. Thefts from homes, parked autos and stores Friday night, totaling nearly S2OO in merchandise, were reported to police today.

America is in the act of vindicating itself and its institutions, Colby declared, and asked: “Can you tell me of any achievement of the Hoover administration which fills you with pride and satisfaction?” Leslie’s Wires Crossed Governor Harry G. Leslie went to Rochester today to deliver a Repub-, lican address which had been scheduled for Friday. Upon his arrival at the statehouse this morning, he learned that 800 Rochester Republicans sat in the town’s theater Friday afternoon awaiting him.

VAN NUTS GIVEN GREAT OVATION BY HOMENLKS Senate Candidate Airs His Clear-Cut Stand, Tells 6-Point Program. (Continued from Page One) ent (Senator James E. Watson). “In the event of my election I shall introduce a bill and work untiringly for its passage which will make it a penitentiary offense to. threaten a man with loss of his for political purposes.” . Pleads for Veteran Reiterating his plan to give federal aid to former soldiers, he told of an instance where a veteran, out of work, declared that he had used his gun for his country and he would not hesitate to use it again for food for his child. “You are not going to make highwaymen out of the veterans of the World war if my voice and my vote can prevent it,” he declared. Van Nuys said that he was proud of the Democratic platform which stands for “old-age pensions and unemployment unsecurity.” “I also hope-'to have the opportunity to join with Senator Norris and other progressive Democratic and Republican leaders in the senate in their efforts to break the grasp of the power trust. Allied With Trust “That the President has lost none of his alliances with this trust, best is evidenced by the personnel of the federal power commission which he appointed. “In his Indianapolis speech, Mr. Hoover claimed all credit for enactment by congress of the law providing for reorganization of the federal power commission. Asa matter of fact, he virtually nullified the law by packing the commission with men known to be in complete sympathy with the power trust and its program.”
