2 ROOSEVELT TALKS

WASHINGTON, Sept. 14 (U. P.). —Members of the Senate Campaign Committee today decided to study

two speeches by President Roosevelt |

in the Tennessee Valley Area before acting upon a Republican request to investigate the matter for possible violations of the Hatch “pure politics” act. The request for an investigation, made by Joseph W. Martin Jr, chairman of the Republican Na-

[tional Committee, asserted that one {speech at Chattanooga was obviously

made to “influence the results in November.” “Therefore,” Mr. in a letter to the committee, “in my judgment it must be considered in part political. and the train costs and the radio time would of necessitv be a campaign expenditure under the Hatch Act.”

INTERNE APPOINTED

David M. MeClure Jr. was appointed an interne at City Hospital at a meeting of the Health Board last night. He is a graduate of the University of Tennessee school of medicine,

Also appointed to the hospital stat. was Miss Mary Carson of In|dianapolis. She will join the nurs-

terday will be, I predict, that the ‘city will rebuke him next November with a Roosevelt majority of 500,000 instead of the previously expected 300,000.” Tremendous Ovation

From Mr. Willkie's standpoint, the high point of his day-long tour through the city was the tremendous ovation given him in the Loop as crowds beginning at buildings on both sides of the street jammed against his slowly moving automobile, and ticker tape, torn telephone books, and confetti poured down from the skyscrapers. He said tears came to his eyes and that he “supposed” that he had seen 1,000,000 persons during the day. His audiences yesterday were packinghouse workers, plumbing equipment makers, electrical equipment employees, steel workers and Negroes and to all of them he preached the same basic doctrine

Voice Husky, Legs Tired

The Chicago tour was Mr, Will kie's first intensive personal cams paigning and he worked at it so hard that his voice was husky and his legs tired from effort as he went to his “skyway suite” high in the Stevens Hotel to retire early. He winked at admirers and threw kisses to women employees in laundries and beauty salons, and among the factory workers he sprinkled in “damn” and “hell” while he told them that with ~ month's training he could do as good a job as any of them present, Mr. Willkie's accent is that ot a typical Hoosier, with some slurring of syllables, and he took cognizance of some previous criticism of his diction yesterday to tell laughing | crowds that he had no “Harvard 1iIt" or “Groton accent.” His schedule today takes him toward Kansas City, where he will spend all of tomorrow, giving the
