ANSWER CHARGES, BLUE TELLS LEWIS
Sherwood Blue, Republican candidate for Prosecutor, charged in an address at Third Ward Republican Headquarters last night that Prosecutor David Lewis has not answered a single charge made against his administration. Mr. Blue said that these unanswered charges have included statements that the poor and needy have been preyed upon to the enrichment of Democratic politicians and favorites. -He also charged that “records in Criminal Court bear witness to peculiar processes for which the Prose-
cutor is responsible which make for|
disrespect for law and order.” Mr. Blue claimed that even if this were not a’ campaign year, the Prosgcutor should,answer such charges because ‘the office is a sacred stewgrdship and ‘the public is entitled a statement. *

spoke . over a | {iii
president of the C. I. O. for his in- |i [iil
dorsement of Mr. Willkie. He said Mr. Lewis had “shocked the liberal-and humanitarian sentiment of America,” and that Mr. Willkie “plus the Republican leadership of today, constitute a most reactionary and anti-social threat to your (workers’) rights and wellbeing.” . Alfred E. Smith, former New York Governor and Democratic Presidential nominee in 1928, charged at Philadelphia that Mr. Roosevelt was making “inflammatory utterances,” and that New Dealers were “childish? in their attempts to blame Republicans for the state of American d ses. In Chicago, Mayor FP: H. La Guardia of New York said Mr. Willkie’s was a campaign of “threats, cunning, fear and money.” He said

‘ate, charged that letters sent to ii
President Roosevelt, criticizing his speeches, were being turned over to the Department of Justice and that

In his final bid for Iowa's 11 electorall/votes, Mr. Wallace told an audi®hce of farmers: 2 “The Republican leaders have no real farm program, except to study up what they believe the farmers in each state want, and then have their Presidential candidate promise to give it to them.”
