won in many European countries, IN
South America, in most of the countries
of the East; problems to be faced in

family endowment; with the legal posi-

employment of women in the police

countries in the duties of citizenship,
whether they have or have not the
vote. This business of education is
after the winning of the vote--the first

ROBINSON REVIEWS
| APPEAL TO TEXANS
Schedules Extra Speech in
Lone Star State, Where
He Opened Drive.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROBINSON SPECIAL CAR Ell route
TO Amarillo, Tex, October 5.-Atter
more than 10000 miles of campaigning,
Senator Joe Robinson turned his face
toward Texas today. in which State,
more than a month ago. he opened his
drive for the vice presidency in a Labor
day speech at Dallas.
The return to the Lone Star State
for an address at Amarillo this after
noon found the Democratic nominee a
far different campaigner than when he
started. No longer does he write out
all of the speeches to be delivered
Lengthy prepared manuscripts have
been placed on the taboo list, and with
the vgor that has marked his more
than IS years in Congress he now goes
after his audience.
In speech after speech he frequently
thunders out with a volume that needs
no amplifiers to carry his words through
open doorwayS to crowds which in many
cities have overlooked into the streets.
Speech OH Extra List.
Today'S speech at Amarillo was ar
ranged after it had been found that the
Senator would have a stop of several
hours there on his was to Clovis,
NJ Mex, where he is scheduled to arrive
tonight at 8;15, or Is minutes ahead Of
the hour set for his speech.
Mr.. Robinson wound up a three-d2y
campaign in Oklahoma at Cnickasha
last night. In this address. as he did
in other speeches in the State he as
sailed the records Of the Harding and
Coolidge administrations and said Mr..
Coolidge and Herbert Hoover, described
by him as the Presidents chief advise"
had been as dumb oysters" regarding
the activities of certain Republican Of
ficials.
He also opened up in his Oklahoma
drive on former Senator Owen, one
time member of the Democratic ma
tional committee and now opposed tt
Gov. Smiths candidacy.
Mr.. Owen says I have lost prestige
by accepting the vice presidential NOM
ination, Robinson declared. When
the election takes place he'll find out
who has lost prestige"
Crosses His Rivals Trail.
During his campaign in Oklahoma the
Democratic candidate frequently crossed
the trail left by his rival for the vice
presidency Senator Charles Curtis, who
stumped the State last week. Like
Curtis, he also made a bid for the
Indian vote, and last night Mr.. Robin
son found a number of Indians of the
Kiowa tribe occupying seats in the
audience.
A reference by Mr.. Robinson to Roger
Williams, who was cared for by Indians
in Rhode Island after he had been
driven from the Massachusetts, Bay
colony for preaching tolerance found
the Kiowas among those applauding:
The Senator said all those who hac
nersecuted Williams now had been for
gotten. but that his name stood OUT
with luster on the pages Of history.
In all of his speeches in this State
the Senator hit at those opposed to Coy.
smith because of his membership n
the Catholic Church. as well as those
who. he said, were opposed to the gov
ernor's election because they thought
the Smiths of too humble birth 10 oc-
