HOOVER VICTORY

NEW YORK. October 29-Declaring
President Hoover's election is assured, u
Everett Sanders. chairman of the Re
publican National Committee in a
statement issued yesterday through the
Eastern headquarters, said the mo
mentum is so strong for the President
that there is no danger of a reaction
1t will swing on to election day"
Sanders continued:
The recent trend as shown by the
straw votes indicates this fact. Straw
votes are not very good criterion be-
cause those opposed to the party in
power vote more readily than others
With that fact operating against us
the past weeks straw votes taken alone
show that President Hoover would get
more than the necessary 266 electoral
votes.
Total straw polls have no value
when covering a large period Of time
because at most they show merely q
trend of sentiment and sentiment, can
only be gained by taking the total for
a particular recent period.
"The Literary Digest polls are really
Of very little value. These ballots were
sent out many weeks ago"

CHICAGO, October 29.-The Repub-
llcan National Committee today made
public the following comment on Pres
ident Hoover,s indianapolis address:
Charles S. Deneen. former United
States Senator from Illinois: The Pres
ident made another able speech. His
reference to the Supreme Court and
views Of his opponents regarding its
character will arouse attention through
out the country. The next President
may be called upon to appoint ma
Jority OF the court. The implications
in President Hcover's speech are too
obvious to require comment II was q
significant and timely statement"
l.. A. Downs. president Illinois Gen.
tral Railroad: THE Presidents position
was sane in connection with what he
said about railroads-that he wanted
all transportation regulated as the rail-
roads are. This will be a great boon,
not only to the officials OF the rail-
roads, but all the employees. who have
been after this for a long time"
James E. Watson, United States SEN
ator from Indiana: President Hooyer's
speech tonight was the masterpiece of
the campaign. In hOmely
phrase but with cold. incisive logic he
disposed OF every attempt the Demo-
cratic candidate has made to sell Un-
digested theories and impossible gov
ernmental programs to the electorate"
Benjamin F. Attleck. president of the
Universal Portland Cement Co: 1t was
great speech. 1 especially approve of
what he said about the Supreme Court.
The new shuttle is quite a hot shuttle.
The speech ought to make a
lot Of Republican votes"
Charles P. Howard, president, Inter-
national Typographical Union. IT is
the most effective speech the President
has yet made. It ought to be a big
factor in determing the result in In

CALLS MILLS ALLY
/. Of POWER LEADERS
Worcester Publisher Charges
"Intimate Association"
With Huge Concern.
BY the Associated Press.


BOSTON. October 29-John H
Fahey, publisher of the Worcester Post,
last night charged that Ogden L. Mills,
Secretary of the Treasury. had init
mate association with a great power
corporation whose activities have been
marked by many practices which par
allel those of the insult companies and
other holding companies"
In a statement issued through the
Democratic State Committee, Fahey re-
ferred to Mills as the strongest in
fluence in the Republican administra-
ton in appeals for the reelection OF
President Hoover" and said the Secre-
tary wants things left as they have
been with the same type of control
over the business and finance of the
country as that which plunged us into
the difficulties from which We are still
suffering"
Fahey termed as one of the most
serious and indefensible incidents of the
Republican control the develop
ment of great holding companies from
one end of the country to the other"
Referring to the International Paper
& Power Co, Fahey said there We're
tied up with it long list of inside
companies trusteeShips and
other subsidiaries and inside companies
inter-related in the same way that the
insult and other holding companies
are hooked up" with it. One curious
inside concern in this combination is
known as the International Securities
Co.. of which Ogden Mills was one OF
the only five stockholders.
1T is TO be assumed" Fahey con-
cluded, that Mr.. Mills withdrew from
all connection with this company when
he became Assistant Secretary Of the
Treasury. but the fact that he was a
part of it furnishes interesting evidence
as to his attitude toward the existence
and operations of a company of this
character"

Benefits OF TARIFF
ARE CITED BY CURTIS
Car Outweigh" Objectionable Fea'
lures, Says Vice President
at Canton, Ohio.

BY the Associated Press.
CANTON, Ohio, October 29.-Vice
President Curtis, in an address last
night, said the benefits of the Repub-
lican tariff "far outweigh" the objec-
tionable features.
"The measure" he said, "has not
been in operation long enough and con-
ditions caused by the depression have
been such that it is hard to determine
its true merits. It should be given a
fair trial under normal conditions. 1t
should be remembered that If some
rates are too high and others are too
low, they can be corrected under the
flexible tariff provision of the act"
The Vice President read q letter
from j. r. Howard. president of the
American Farm Bureau Federation,
which Mr.. Curtis said showed the Re-
publicans' effort to protect the farm
products" The letter said In part:
ION behalf Of the American Farm
Bureau Federation, allow me to extend
to you our sincere gratitude and appre-
ciation of your effortsptn defense of the
agricultural industrf in framing a
tariff law that more nearly places agri-
culture on q plane with other indus.

Danger in Not Changing.
Since when, may I ask. has it been
dangerous to change a national admin
capable? The danger lies in continuing
such an administration, not In chang
ing it.
The crash came in October. 1929.
That was an unmistakable signal. Al
most any one could foresee then that de-
creased revenues and falling values
which were causing deficits in business
would soon cause deficits in government,
too.
Did the President, or did anybody in
that administration. show any signs
of realizing the danger and guarding
against it? They did not. What Hoover
did in December 1929, two months after
the crash, was to give the rapidly fall
ing Federal revenues a further push
downward. At one stroke he dimin-
ished the Governments income $780,
100000 by reducing the income tax
rates per cent. Then, with less money,
he proceeded to increase appropriations.
BY December, 1880, when the next
budget was submitted, it was unmistak-
able that the country was in the red.
President Hoover himself saw it. He
predicted that at the end of the then
fiscal year, June 80, 1881. there would
be deficit of S180,000000, but that at
the end of the succeeding fiscal year,
June 80, 1882, there would be a surplus
of S30000 900. But actually this $780,
100000 deficit became a $903,000 900
defcit,Hand the $50 O0,000 surplus be-
came %s2885 600 900 deficit.
Then Congress passed the revenue bill
for the current fiscal year, which began
July l, 1882. Congress accepted the

Inc CRASH IN OCTOBER, l929, was
warning to the world that economic
collapse was under way. What did the
Republican administration do about 1t?
1t was more than year before Presi-
dent Hoover admitted that anything
very serious was going on. In March
1890, the President said it would all be
over in 60 days. In May, 1880, he said
the worst was past. In December 1880
he said the storm had been weathered.
Then when Mr.. Hoover did see the
obvious and undertook at last to dc
something about it, it was too late
Optimistic and misleading statements
had lulled the people into feeling ol
false security. They had had no 'op-
portunity to conserve and prepare them.
selves for the coming shock. They hac
to take it full on the chin.
Now President Hoover assumes the
credit and asks his fellow countrymer
for their suffrage again because of re-
lief measures which, to say the least
are as much attributable to Democratic
votes as to Republican votes.
He claims credit for the Reconstruc-
tion Finance Corporation, for its power
to aid self-liquidating enterprises, ano
for the s3o0,ooo,0oo appropriated TO,
relief in the States and municipalities
although every one knows that he was
against any form of Federal relief, ano
these measures were literally forced
upon him by Democratic and Progress
sive votes.
He claims credit for economy meas
| ures at the last Congress, when the
record shows that everything Of the
kind was initiated by Democratic lead
ers in House and Senate and against
stubborn opposition.
Taxation in Excess.
Retrenchment in the cost Of govern
ment is the vital thing. The American
people cannot stand further taxation
They have been taxed to the point OF
diminishing returns.
Now the knife is necessary, and II
must be inserted deep. The Federal
Government must spend not more, no,
the same amount, but less of the earn
ings and savings of the American
people.

BRITISH PLEDGE
SEEN EASING
DEBT CRISIS

Great Britain's decision to
Sign the pledge" on debt pay
ments, suspended for a year
under the Hoover moratorium, is
regarded here as Strengthening
the American position on the
whole subject of war-debt COL
lections.
The pledge" was a little note
sent to each of the debtor
governments by the State Depart
ment last December obligating
the respective governments to
pay, eventually, the debt install
ments postponed under the mora
torium.
This was a detail which the
Administration here had ne
elected in the rush Of having
the moratorium accepted by the
European governments before
German finances should have
gone completely to smash.
The amount involved was
roughly a half a billion dollars.
The moratorium suspended these
payments, but did not definitely
and legally obligate the various
governments to pay eventually.

CONGRESS DUTY
TOSTAY ON JOB,
JOHNSON VIEW
BY HIRAM w. JOHNSON
U, S. Senator From California

Like some of my distinguished
brethren, my intense desire to
60 to the Republican national
convention must yield to my
stern sense of duty as senator;
and devastating and deSolating
as 1t will be to me to miss the
nomination Of the Republican
candidate for President, I feel the
Senate must remain in session
for whatever period may be
necessary to enable it fully to do
its work.
Seriously, there should be no
adjournment until the Congress
has finally passed the following
bills:
/. The tax bill.
2. Unemployment relief. not a
makeshift gesture, but an honest
and complete unemployment relief
program.
3. The various appropriation
measures.
4. The resubmission of the
Eighteenth Amendment. Prac-
tically all agree upon a referen-
dun now. The prohibition law
should be put up to the States
and the people themselves given
the opportunity to pass upon it.
S. The economy measure-a real
economy measure, not one which
disrupts the public service and
Swells the ranks of the unem-
ployed, but one of carefully con-
sidered reduction of Government
expenditures.
Beyond these are many policies
requiring careful and studious
consideration-policies relating to
business, banking, farmers and
the like; and whatever can be
done, after mature deliberation
and the most earnest scrutiny,
should be done.
And all these things should be
done by Congress, even if it takes
all summer.
