REDUCEDEXPENSE
IN GOVERNMENT IS
ROOSEVELT'S AIM
Says Party Appeals to Voters
With Caliber Rather Than
Dollars

Roosevelt Special, Sept. 16.-(AP)
I-Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democratic presidential candidate
continued his trip through the west
Friday after having told 10 leading
! Colorado Democrats in Denver
Thursday night: "When we take
over the control of the legislative
and executive branches of the ma.
tional government next March we
shall have the opportunity to revise
the executive branch of the govern
ment along lines sounder, less ex-
travagant and designed for the
greater good of the greater number"
The New York governor, in an ex-
temporaneous speech at a dinner in
Denver, said the government of New
York state during IL Of the last IA
years had been in the hands of the
Democrats because under the lead
ership of Alfred E. Smith in the first
instance its government was for the
welfare Of the average citizen"
"The Democratic party" said
Roosevelt, "has had in the past to
appeal to voters with caliber and not
dollars. That is true this time. We
are about to enter q new period of
liberalism in the United States. Peo-
pie have been going back in these
last three years into fundamentals
and are giving serious thought to the
form of our government.
Must Have Intelligence
IF our representative form of
government is to live, it must be
based on an intelligent vote. A con-
tinuation of representative govern.
ment along the lines laid down by
the original founders is the only
thing that will keep it going. Other
wise We shall come to some other
form of government.
IF we get the young liberals in
this campaign we are going to keep
them for a generation.
"These seeds have been sown. Go
through and reap the crop-and, be-
lieve me, the price will be greater
than that which is now being re-
ceived for farm products"
The Democratic nominee said he
felt Every confident of the result this
fall"
II have been RUNNING for public
office, or in politics, for a long
time," he added, land l have got be-
yond the stage of going out and
claiming everything in sight.
II hold there is great element of
people who believe the time has come
for a change. Of course that's
purely negative vote, but there is a
very definite change in the think
ing of men and women"
Governor Roosevelt also made an
other, shorter, extemporaneous talk
in Denver. Soon after he arrived at
his hotel, he appeared on a Mezza-
nine balcony and addressed a crowd
Of several hundred that had gathered
in the lobby below.
Not q Campaign Trip
"This is not campaign trip" he
said. 81 am making this trip to meet
people in the different sections of
the country and get acquainted with
their problems to enable me, when
! 60 into the White House March A,
to deal with them on the basis of
first-hand knowledge"
He added that "when 20 into the
White House, ! plan to follow the
same policy that I have followed as
governor Of New York and make
frequent visits to the country instead
Of waiting for the country to come
to Washington"
On their arrival in Denver Gov
ernor Roosevelt and the members Of
his party were taken on y two-hour
ride through and about Denver. Sew
eral thousand persons lined the
street in the downtown business Sec
ton Of the city.
