I just want to be positive.” Fifteen thousand marchers, according to Evansville police, participated in the torch light parade that was still going past the hall when Mr. Townsend had finished his address, which was broadcast. Police said 25,000 to 30,000 persons stood in the streets. Ernest Weatherholt, Democratie district chairman, said his district would return a Democratic plurality of at least 20,000. The district gave Senator Sherman Minton a majority of 18,122 in 1934. The Republican Weekly News, according to local Democrats, has recommended voting for President Roosevelt and the Republican candidates for every race but President.

He explained the gross income tax and the Social Security Act. In the afternoon, Mr. Townsend made addresses in Petersburg and Rockport. “To me and to the great majority of the people in Indiana,” Mr. Townsend said at the Evansville rally, “President Roosevelt with progressive recovery and reconstruction policies has vindicated democracy. “The New Deal in America was shown the world that dictatorships are not essential to the working of social and economic reforms in the building of national prosperity. President Roosevelt has demonstrated that democragy is a workable, efficient form of government.”

‘Landon’s Charleston Address

By United Press

CHARLESTON, W. Va, Oct. 31.—Gov. Alfred M. Landon’s talk here yesterday follows: Last night in New York City I my position on the major issues of this campaign. I pointed out that a basic essential of representative government is for the candidate to take the people into his confidence—that representative government rests upon the combined wisdom of the people —and that in this election we will decide the future of our form of government by the combined wisdom of the people. Tonight here in West Virginia I want to talk quietly about a few of the issues as they relate to the home. 1 want to do this because one of the outstanding points of this campaign has been the interest of thousands of men and women who in ordinary years take no active part in political contests. This interest is not the result of a sudden outburst of party enthusiasm. It is a result of the realization that the choice to be made in this election will vitally affect their homes.

For many months the people of West Virginia have been in the

forefront of those working to make

this election reflect the real wishes of the people. I am happy to be with you as we bring this stirring campaign to a. close. Let me remind you of a remark made by Benjamin Franklin following the Constitutional Convention of 1787. A friend asked him: “What kind of a government have you given us?” and he replied: “A republic—if you can keep it so.”

‘PROFOUND REMARK’

That was a profound remark. It reflected the homely wisdom that is one of our heritages from horse and buggy days. Its meaning is quite plain. A republic—a government of the people—can not be kept a republic except through the efforts of the people. Now it is obvious that a government of 130,000,000 people must be handled in the periods between elections by the people’s servanls— their elected representatives. Dur-

ing these periods, through error or:

misguided action of these representatives, government may wander off the course. This is always possible. But so long as the volers of the nation are interested in the management of the government, so long as they are jealously defermined to keep the government their own, they can always bring it back on the course. They do this by exercising their rights on election day. We have been living for 150 years under our Constitution. We have maintained our republic. And we have achieved a high measure of prosperity and happiness. But we have not done this merely because our ancestors drew up a great document. We have done it because we were determined to keep a republic. . And our determination to keep a republic will be the measure of our success in the future. In this task our women must play their part as well as our men. More than our men, indeed. For always, over all the world, it has been the women rather than the men who have been the mainstays of the home. Men in pursuit of varied interests sometimes get away from the fundamentals. This is natural. But the women, through their devotion to the ideals of the family, never lose sight of these fundamentals. This is just as true, in my observation, of those women who today are taking positions of leadership in our business and public life. But men and women alike must never forget that our Constitution is the charter of liberties. It is the charter that keeps our homes. We have only to look across the ocean td see what can happen when the people have no such protection against the power of government. To these people home is no longer a place to which they can retire in security—a place in which they can think and speak as they please; in which they can worship as they please; in which they can bring up their children as they please. In these countries homes are no longer protected by the law against invasion by the agents of an all-power-ful government.

‘TRENDS ARE SIMILAR’

We must never forget that the loss of liberty in these countries followed depressions; that the trends in government which preceded this loss of liberty were similar in many respects to the trends in government which we see in America today.

Outstanding among these trends

was the disregard of the old-fash--

ioned principle of making both ends meet, a principle which we all follow in our homes, and which our women know even better than our men. This principle has been lost sight of in the last three years. We have seen waste and extravagance on an unparalleled scale. The people of West Virginia know this only too

vagance in the handling of re-

re mes 2 AFTER SURVEY

spending the Federal government is the chief offender. The government in Washington spends the equivalent of about $275 per family a year. Think of this in terms of your household budget. . : This $275 a year is not taken in direct taxes. Most of us never see a tax bill for the expenses of the Federal government. We are borrowing half this money and we are paying through hidden taxes—taxes concealed in the cost of the things we buy. For example, during the life of the AAA, every time a housewife bought a loaf of bread she contributed 2 cent to the Federal government through the processing tax alone. ery gallon of gasoline carries a cf ed tax for the Federal government amounting to 1 cent, and every package of cigarets caries a tax amounting to 6 cents. :

“TAXES RAISE PRICES”

It is through these thousands of little taxes—1 cent here, a half a cent there—that most of us pay our government bill. These taxes have increased the cost of living by raising prices. And the dangerous thing about them is that they go on increasing without our being aware that the government is eating into what we have to spend. Let me mention just one more

point about this waste and extrava- |

gance as it affects the home. Even with all the hidden taxes we are paying the Pederal government is unable to pay its bills out of income. Today, out of every dollar it spends it has to borrow 50 cents. This money will have to be paid back in the future—paid back by deductions from the household budgets. We can not continue forever ths policy of spending more than we take in. It leads inevitably to inflation — to impossibly high price for the necessities of life— . to the destruction of our savings. Another question is much in the thoughts of us all at this time— especially of all wives and mothers. That is the question of peace. The world is restless. Disturbing news comes to us almost every day. But I do not believe war in Europe is inevitable. I am sure the terrible memories of the last war are still so vivid that no people wants to break peace. At the same time we must all recognize the dangers. If other nations should become involved in war while I am President, I pledge you that I will do everything in my power to keep America out. And I. believe that in the light of our experience in the last war, we can avoid the pitfalls. We can keep out if we are prepared to defend ourselves; if we observe strict and impartial neutrality, if we are willing to forego short-run profits; if we keep our heads. This last is the most important of all. For in the end the issue of peace or war for America must rest with the American people. If the issue is clearly presented to them I know what their answer will be. I know what the answer will be from the men and women. who make our homes, It will be peace. In the West we are homefolks and we are proud of being homefolks. The men who run for public office can never get very far away from the people. They can never forget that they are still neighbors. They can never overlook the

fact that even in office it is as|©:

neighbors that they will be judged.

RECALLS EARLY ADVICE

Let me tell you a piece of homely advice that was given me the first time I ran for offize. I had dropped into a store to buy a hat. The storekeeper was an old friend of mine: I had been dealing with him for years. As he made the sale he said to me: “Do you know why you've kept coming. back to me all this time? Because I've always told you exactly what you were getting and you've always got your money's worth. Now you are offering the people a piece ‘of political goods. “You've got to see to it that the quality is what you say it is and that they get their money's worth. If you let them down they won't be coming around to vote for you the next time.” Apply this wisdom to the present Administration. Did it tell yom frankly in advance what you were getting? And do you feel you got vour money's worth. Is it telling you now what it proposes to offer you if it should be re-elected and do you want the quality of goods it carries in stock and that you are likely to get if it is returned to power. ’ In my campaign at hoiié I always have tried to follow my old friend’s advice. I have tried to tell the people exactly what I intended to do, and I have tried to do it. In this campaign I have followed the same plan. I have told you I pro-. pose to go forward along the American way of life and I have repeatedly started the policies that in my opinion will guarantee us a safe

Next Tuesday the men and women of American will set the country on this course for the next four years.

thrust to drive a wedge between Mr. Roosevelt and the workers. From

coast to coast come reports of state|

and local indorsement of Mr. Roosevelt by organized labor. . The wage-tax program of the Social Security Act—frequently presented without emphasis on the fact that employers must put up at least dollar-g¢or-dollar—is the only effective issue with which Republicans have been able to challenge the New Deal appeal to labor. That issue is costing Mr. Roosevelt votes today in the states where black smoke from factory chimneys is the plume of prosperity. : Lost and almost leaderless is the radical host of discontent. It was forming under the standard of the late Huey P. Long 14 months ago when a bullet dropped him in the state Capitol at Baton Rouge. Left wingers, who wanted Mr. Roosevelt to be more radical than he would, reached their peak in late summer instead of October.

Coughlin Power Waning

The significance. in this campaign of William Lemke, presidential candidate of the Union Party, of Father Charles E. Coughlin and Dr. Francis E. Townsend, is greatest in New England where Lemke votes will help Gov. Landon. It is possible that the 1 or 2 per cent of the poll to be garnered by Rep. Lemke in the Lake States and some more agricultural communities may pull Mr. Rooszvelt down sufficiently to give Gov. Landon electoral votes he otherwise would not obtain. % In every state I visited outside New England I was told the priest’s pulling power was waning. Observers of various political complexions attributed that phenomena to Father Coughlin’s violent platform denunciations of Mr. Roosevelt, and especially to the mid-August address before the Cleveland convention of .the National Union for Social Justice in which the priest called the President a liar and betrayer. Lemke-Coughlin-Townsend votes Tuesday, whatever their number,

will be taken largely from among

potential Democratic voters. Offsetting this left wing raid on Roosevelt preserves: of forgotten and under-privileged men and women is the stampede of labor to the New Deal banner and evidence of a shift of Negro allegiance from Republican to Democratic leaders. 4

Party Lines Crossed

. This combination of labor and Negro support "will win for Mr. Roosevelt—if he -wins — in such states as Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, New York, Michigan, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee. Never before has labor so generally abandoned its non-partisan tradition to indorse one candidate against another. Party lines are down in some sectors, sagging in others. Mr. Roosevelt gave his blessing in Minnesota to Democratic merger with the radical Farmer-Labor party which gained control of the state under leadership of the late Gov. Floyd B. n. | The President erased the name of Terry Carpenter, Democratic candidate for the Senate, from the list of New Deal endorsers in Nebraska. Mr. Roosevelt pleaded there ®for re-election of Senator George W. Norris, long an insurgent Republican and now an independent.

Resentment in South

In Wisconsin, Democrats -and Progressives battle for state office, but join in supporting Mr. Roosevelt for re-election. = Throughout the South there is a ground swell of conservative protest against Mr. Roosevelt's departures from traditional Democratic policies. It will not be much in evidence on election day. : éProsperity—a comparative prosperity as of today and 1932—is the factor which makes Mr. Roosevelt a tter than even bet to continue in the White House for four years. The second line of New Deal defense is garrisoned by the millions of men and women who are dependent on Federal relief for their bread and shelter. : The third line is formed by normally Republican midwest farmers whose crops bring more now than when the New Deal took gharge of Washington on March 4, Class Issue Raised Republicans charge the New Deal with fomenting class consciousness and struggle in the United States, with aligning the poorer against the richer classes. Chairman James A. Farley of the Democratic National Committee makes this politically significant reply to that argument: “There are more little fellows than big fellows.” Polls and surveys indicate that Mr. Roosevelt will run best in the larger cities. Gov. Landon will bring to many city gates a plurality of state-wide votes from the f and small towns. But better have cut into normal

COX MAY ORDER HARRISON AUDIT

Indicates Further Action After Hearing on Petition of Woman.

Circuit Court Judge Earl R. Cox today indicated a further audit may be madé of the books of the Benjamin Harrison Life Insurance Co. now conducting voluntary’ liquidation proceedings with the State Insurance Department. The indication came after a hearing on an intervening petition to the liquidation proceeding filed by Mrs. Carrie A. Beggs. Mrs. Beggs claimed from the stand yesterday that she lent organizers of the company, of whom

her son, Perry S. Ward, was vice

president and secretary, $3000 during the period of organization. She told Judge Cox that she felt the company and Frederick Schortemeier, its former attorney; Fred S. Purnell; president - treasurer, and other alleged organizers should pay her the money “with reasonable interest.” She testified that the company was to have backed Raymond Springer, Mr, Purnell “and others politically,” and that she had asked Mr. Purnell to put some of his own money in the organization when hers had run out. Attorneys for the company brought from her the fact that she gave th2 money to the company through her son, in weekly sums and all in cash. She told them she had no record of the payments. ‘Testimony Corroborated

Mr. Ward, (her son, corroborated that testimony. Mr. Schortemeier testified that he never had received “one penny for services to the company, either directly or indirectly.” He said he had no present plan for pressing a claim for fees. It developed in the testimony that some liabilities of the company had not. been known when company attorneys and the State Insurance Department drew. up a liquidation agreement, which was to have been presented to the

Six Americans Made Members of New Pontifical Academy.

By United Press VATICAN CITY, Oct. 31.—Pope Pius has formed a new Pontifical Academy of ‘Science composed of 70 world-famed scientists, six of them Amgricans. In his décree reforming ohe old “Nuovi Lincei,” the Pope said that members were selected solely for their outstanding scientific achievement. But he referred also to the fact that many men of science, unlike those of the first days when a picture of natural evolution was revealed, “do not hesitate to say that true science leads to and prepares the soul for faith.” A number of non-Catholics were included. American members are: Dr. Alexis Carrel, surgeon of the Rockefeller - Institute for Medical Research, New York City, winner of the 1912 Nobel prize in physiology and medicine. Prof. .
