RITCHIE LASHES
PRESIDENT IN
CLEVELAND
Address Pictures Hoover As
"Confounded" BY His
Own Record

CLEVELAND, Ohio, Oct. q.
Cleveland citizens today are
discussing a sweeping charge
of inconsistency, launched
against President Hoover by
Gov. Albert G. Ritchie OF
Maryland, in two speeches here
on his midwest stump tour
for the Democratic ticket.
Ritchie declared:
president HOOver's speeches
do not hang together, do not
coordinate, and do not square
with his record.
"Mr. Hoover is cOnfOunded by
his own statements and his
own records. But he cannot
change the record no matter
what he says in his speeches,
and on that record he must be
judged.
"He is the horns of a di.
lemma. Either he was unable
for considerable more than a
year after the slump started
to estimate its gravity, or he
delayed taking any action long
after the time when action
should have been TAKEN"
At least 5000 persons heard
the Maryland governor in his
two addresses and Newton D
Baker, who shared the speaking
honorS with him. Baker took
sharp issue with Hoover, whom
he quoted as saying in Cleveland
last Saturday:
"The Democrats have not
learned that in the World
War 100000 men lost their
lives and $500, 600, ,0OO,OOO worth
of property was destroyed"
Retorting to this, Baker de
clared: .
eff anybody in the United
States failed to appreciate that
the World War was a world
disaster, then President Hoo
ver'S party is responsible for
their forgetting"

BONUS MEN HAVE RETURNED OLD
 LEADER AGAIN
Walter w. Waters Voted Back Into POwer--FOOd Supply for l2,OOO Men Runs Out Tonight

Washington, June 29--(UP)--- Bronzed and forceful Walter w. Waters of Oregon, original leader of the bonus army, tried desperatc- ly to-day to restore harmony among 15,00O quarreling veterans acutely short of food.
 By n coup last night Waters once more became commander in chief of the bonus expeditionary force. He was acclaimed as such by majority of the men at the main camp in Anacostia. Rival leaders heatedly denounced the ac- ton as illegal, but said they would abide by a confirmatory vote to be taken by ballot in all camps this afternoon.
 Waters twice previously had been commander of the bonus forces, and twice had resigned be- cause of disputes with other lead CTS and disobedience of his orders. Confusion has rcigned since Satur- day, when he stepped down the second time.
 The executive committee first proposed that permanent leaders and policies be determined upon by n convention of 500 delegates. A move for direct election of new leaders gained much support.
 Temporary commanders came and went in swift succession. Dis senyion increased. The food short age added to the unrest. Waters feared his rivals would try to seize control of the army.
 Waters went to the Atacostia camp last evening. From the top of one of the shcd-like structures that pass for barracks he implored the veterans to re-establish unity and discipline. Friendly delegates from other camps were among the crowd of 10000.
 As Waters finished, shouts of Let's vote now" and waters again, right now" went up. In q moment he assumed command again, "On condition that l am to be real leader whom the rank ana file will support at all times"
 The veterans commissary mas oni yenough food to last until to- night. After that nothing Is Tn prospect except bread and cracked wheat breakfast food. both to be made from farm board wheat which the Red Cross will provide for q limited time.
 Police Superintendent Glassford formally retired as treasurer Tor tho bonus army and once more urged 1t to disperse. The senate passed n resolution by Senator Howell, republican, Nebraska. d. recting the veterans bureau to loan the men railroad fare to their homes. The money would be de- ducted from that due them when the bonus becomes payabie--ih l045, under the present Jaw.
