ROBINSON TALK
Farm Relief and Religious Toll
erance Touched Upon from
Soap Box

Robinson Train En- Route to
Boise, Idaho, Oct. 16.-(R-Senator
Joseph T. Robinson today swung in
land from the Pacific coast on his
campaign tour of the nation. He
planned to speak at Boise tonight,
and from there will drop down into
Ogden, Utah, for a campaign speech
tomorrow night.
The Democratic vice presidential
nominee spoke at Portland, Ore,
last night after having made sew
eral important talks in the Villa
mette Valley. In McMinnville, Ore,
he halted his motor car at the in
tersection of the two principal
streets and delivered typical cam
paign talk with he real old-fash-
Toned soap box" fervor.
In his Portland address the sem
ator dwelt largely on water power
but deviated from his prepared
speech by including remarks on
farm relief and tolerance in religion,
and stressed what he called "the
humanitarian legislation fostered
by Governor Alfred Smith,"
His reference to Governor Smith
as 1.-THE great leader of the hosts Of
Democracy" unleashed much ap.
plause. When his radio time was
up and he was about to stop, the
crowd urged him to continue, and he
did so, launching into an attack up
on those who opposed Governor
Smith because of his religious con-
victions.
