under Roosevelt and Wilson; he
demanded to know why La Fol-

to found a third party: he &C.
cused Coolidge and Hoover Of lack
of leadership" in solving the farm
problem.
He ridiculed the Republican plat.
form in a dozen spots. He named
both President Coolidge and Sec
rotary Hoover as evasive on the
speech with a challenge to his hear
ers to be faithful to the principles Of
Roosevelt and La Toilette. rather
than the principles Of Hoover and
Coolidge.

"I think" Smith declared. "that
you could search through legisla-

glaring example Of absolute lack Of
leadership than we find in the
handling by the present Admins

there is a problem is admitted.
Just look at the Republican plat.
form. 1t just gets a little worse
every four years.
The elder Senator LaFolIette
went out and started his own party
in order to have suitable vehicle
for carrying to the people of the
nation the progressive ideas in
government that he believed in and
that we're shared by the great fol.
lowing which he had.
Senator Shipstead, he took a
walk. He stood it as long as he
could, and we find him today a
candidate on an independent ticket
against the party of his original
adoption. And what about the
colonel himself, Roosevelt?
Born and reared in the ranks of
the Republican party. from early
boyhood, practically, receiving his
great honor at the hands OF that
party by election to the State
assembly in the State Of New York,
he wound up past middle age noni-
mated by his party and elected by
the American people to the greatest
position in the world. But he could
not stand it and he had a way Of
pointing them out to the people
and naming them.
Notes Hidden Control
''It seems to me that during the
last two Republican administrations,
in the absence Of this necessary
there has been what we
might call q hidden control. There
seems to be somebody pulling the
strings from behind the scenes. And
that hidden control has been
successful in shaping the
policies Of the administration SO
that any private program is not
lnterfered with.
Have you ever asked yourselves
why so many progressive Repub-
licans, men with advanced thoughts
and advanced ideas, feel compelled
every now and then to walk out
Of the party?"

Hoover Writes Speech
Hoover, meanwhile, worked on
his Elizabethton, Tenn, speech,
He hopes to complete it today, al
though its delivery will not be until
October s. The speech will be of
historical character and will deal
chiefly with the development of
government in America.
Hoover will continue to stress the
tariff as a campaign issue in some
of his remaining speeches, espe-
cially on his trip across the coun-
try in the last days of the cam
palgn. The groundwork was laid
today when Senator Reed Smoot of
Utah. issued a statement declaring
the Republican tariff had saved the
ranchers, cattlemen and sheepmen
of Western States from destruction
at the hands of importers.
The sheep.raisers, ranchers and
dairymen must look to the Repub-
licans for protection Of their In
'tsrestss" said Smoot.

instead Of six weeks from now, the
Smith managers believe they would
have fifty-fifty chance or better,
of winning Minnesota's IL electoral
votes.

first elected Magnus johnson to the
United States Senate and then fol
lowed UP with the present Senator

sound so important, but when
coupled with the support Of the
old LaFollette group 1t assumes
Three Groups United
In effect, it amounts to the
normal Democratic vote, the normal
farmer-labor vote and the old La
Toilette vote all working for Gov.
Smith for the Presidency. Against
this stands the regular Republican
organization working for Hoover.
This organization was powerful
enough in 1924 to carry the State
for Coolidge by $4,000 over the
combined Davis-LaFollette vote, but
much water has run under bridges
since that time. Hence, the Demo
Gratis are confident. and the Re-
publicans are correspondingly
nervous.

Governor Smith praised the records

Senator Norris (RJ of Nebraska,
and of ex-Gov. Frank o. Lowden,
of Illinois, whose candidacy for the
nomination at the Kansas City con-
vention the Minnesota delegation
backed to the last gasp.
Concerning each of these notable
Republican insurgents, Governor
Smith had some complimentary
passage in his st. Paul speech.
He quoted Roosevelt against ain
visible government" He recalled
that both LaFollette and Roosevelt
had left the Republican party to
found their own progressive organi-
zaions. He said Senator Shipstead
also had to take a walk" He
quoted Senator Norris in praise of
his (Smith's) Omaha speech, and ne
praised Governor Lowden as one
of the cleanest Republican thinkers
on the subject of farm relief.

he feels he can do more good by
keeping out of Political fights and
campaigning for what he considers

The principal Borah issues, as
everyone knows, are law enforcement
and the outlawing OF war. With
these he has done well in his one
man fight. He has asked one candi-

prohibition enforcement if elected and

He has given great impetus to the
movement to demand a specific en-

and may be expected to fight for this
to the end.
He also expects to obtain a strong
plank favoring the outlawry of war.
Borah has had tremendous success

More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
TO AN ORGAN MONKEY

II had ever had a doubt
That man descended by degrees
From Simians which leaped about
The prehistoric forest trees;
MY doubt would perish when / glance
At your restraining leather strap
And your detected countenance
The while you pass your suppliant
cap,
And ply a task whose sole reward
Is but your daily bed and board
No wonder that your face il sad
Although you step to lively tunes
And execute queer antics, sad
In silken coat and pantaloons,
Forever bitter is your cup;
You plough and seed where others
reap
The pennies that you gather up
Are never yours to spend or keep.
And 60 the swift days hurry by
AS hand to mouth you live ana die
And has not man, from age to age,
Since his tailed tolbears fed on
fruits,
Been prone full often to engage
In just as profitless pursuits?
Aud is 1t difficult to trace,
The workings OF our common mind
Back through the cons to a race
From which sprang man and

Poor, melancholy little cuss
You're not so different from us!
