''Tht correct picture of the work dont by our agencies here and it's rela- tion to Territorial development will be put before them as the occaS- ion may arise. The need for ec- onon1y, that reduced Federal ap. propriations for our activities dur. ing the current fiscal year, stil exists.

ROOseuelt's Western Tour
 Alters Course of Campaign
By BYRON PRICE

However much or little 1t may mean in votes in November, Gov Roosevelt's western tour already has had important effects on the strategic course of the campaign.
 The stir and publicity attending him have encouraged party work CTS everywhere, just at the oppor- tune time, to bestir themselves toward capitahzing the prestige gained by the Democratic victory ill Maine.
 Meanwhile the nominees selec- tion of campaign topics turned discussion to new issues-selected by himself.
 Finally his method af. treating those topics in large degree has changed the whole character of the Republican attacks on him. In- stead of denouncing him as a be- liever in radical" proposals, the opposition now is contending that he has proposed nothing new at all.
 These things have made Gov. Roosevelt much more of a figure in the campaign than he was when he left Albany. They have marked his real advent to party leadership on national scale, and in that sense they have moved the strug- gle for the presidency along to new ground.

A COINCIDENCE

From the standpoint of political generalship, the coincidence of the Maine election with the start of the Governors western trip is most interesting.
 Could the Democratic manager, have foreseen all that has happen ed? That they expected Demo- cratic gains in Maine is certain, but they scarcely could have bank ed greatly on an actual Demo- cratic victory, throwing the Repub- licans into a close huddle to fi- gure out a complete revision of campaign plans.
 Whether foreseen or not, the result has been that exactly at

SENATOR WALSH RIDICULEs
 PRESIDENT HOOVER SPEECH

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Senator Thomas J. Walsh of Montana in a statement given out last night said: T wonder how profound was the impression made on Iowa farmers by the exposition of Presi- dent Hoover of his theory that their troubles originated with and were attributable to the collapse of credit in Austria in the Spring of 1881. It has not seemed to dawn upon him that agriculture never recovered from the depres- sion of 1922 despite the fact that there have been three tariff acts, but, on the contrary, have gone from bad to worse"
 Senator Walsh said President Hoovers speech was ridiculous.
