CHIEF ISSUE OF CAMP A|CN
 IS INDICATED
Economic Plight of Coun- try First Subject of
 Both Parties

WASHINGTON Oct. 2l.- The countrys economic plight looms larger over the political scene as the campaign attains full fury in the concluding weeks
 This is one instance where the issue was accepted as paramount by both sides in the beginning and actually became paramount later in the campaign and promis- es to stay on until the end.s
 Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt and President Herbert Hoover are de- voting most of their speeches to depression at matters whether they speak on tariff farm relief, labor, budget, currency or prohibition, they always put them against the background and the central issue is economic restoration.
 Democratic Appeal
 The campaign is also notable for the Democratic appeal for support of Western Republican Independ- ents. The last week has seen Senator George w. Norris, Senator Robert M. LaFollette Jr., and Sem ator Bronson M. Cutting join hands with the Democrats.
 The Administration course on depression will be the burden of President Hoover's speech tomorrow night in Detroit and of shorter talks as he crosses West Virginia and Ohio.
 Depression Stressed
 Depression was also the theme of Gov. Roosevelt on his mid Western campaign tour and is be- ing brought to the fore in his present Southern campaign.
 Gov. Roosevelt also spoke of beer as a revenue source. He also has declared against bonus pay ments during his discussion on budget balancing.

General Political Campaign
 IsNo,v Moping Hong Definite
 Lines, Planned by Strategists
By BYRON PRICE

The general pattern of the Pres idential campaign may now be said to have taken definite outline af- ter weeks of preparation.
 Some surprises may still be in store, but hardly anyone expects any real change from now on either in the basic strategy of the opposing forces or the general style of their respective operations.
 The one big fact is that both parties are passing their final bid for power on a conviction that the depression in all it's past and fu- tllre aspects will be the paramount factor in the decision of Novem- Der g.
 The Democratic thesis is that President Hoover's handling of the emergency has been so unsatisfac- tory that a new deal at Washing ton is essential to insure leader ship for recovery. The Republi- Cd1 lllC 10 Ulldt T 4ScA- dent has done well against great odds and that things are likely to be much worse if the Democrats are entrusted with power.
 It is on these precise lines that both party organizations are pre- pairing to fight out the last en- counters of the campaign ano there are evidences on both sides that the concluding periods of the debate will be characterized by much personal bitterness
 A dozen collateral issues will be discussed in limited degree. The prohibition dispute is due for C revival in some localities such as ultra-wet centers in the east anc ultra-dry sections in the west But over the whole picture botf parties expect to see on election day the dominating shadow of tht depression and the question what to do about it.

MOWERS PLAN CHANGED

Thus with respect to issues the last stage of the campaign con- forms rather closely to the ex- pectations of six months ago. The same cannot be said of the per- sonalities involved.
 President Hoover had been ex- pected-and apparently he himself expected-to take little active part ill the canvass flor votes. Actually he is now taking very active part. He has been expected to take no direct notice of what the opposition did or said Actually he now is giving major attention to an attack on the words and acts of the Democratic leaders.
 As for Gov. Roosevelt he has followed predictions by making a stumping campaign by directly attacking the Republican record by asking for the support of the groups he calls "progressives. He has not as many expected put all of his eggs into the western basket and let the traditionally conservative cast go Republican by

ID atic No minee Speaks in St. Louis
 Tonight Broadcast

SPRINGFIELD, H., Oct. 21.-Into the capital of this State, Gov. Frank lin D. Roosevelt came today and the Democratic nominee for Pres- ident advanced a program for agricultural relief to an im- mense crowd.
 .'The Federal Government owes it to agriculture to see it gets a fair price for prod ucts. That means the price of farm products must be raised above the present ruin- Ously low levels to which they have fallen.
 Properly adjusted, a tar Tiff can do much in this di- rection but the present tariff policies of the Republican Ad- ministration have done pre- cisely the opposite.
 Pending relief that will be afforded by a properly ad- justed tariff, measures must be taken to give the farmer immediate tariff benefit and this means a practical plan agree to by agricultural leaders which will provide for farmers a higher return for certain of his crops"

PARKING RESTRICTED
TO RELIEVE TIE-UP
Thirteenth and E Night Conditions
Bring Change in
Regulations.

A plan designed to relieve traffic con-
sestion at night in the vicinity of Thir-
teenth and z streets was announced
yesterday by Inspector Z. w. Brown, di-
rector of the Trafic Bureau of the Po-
lice Department.
All parking will be prohibited after
T:3o pm. on the north side OF E street
from Thirteenth street to the intersec-
ton of Pennsylvania avenue. The ban
will be lifted at IL O'Clock. when the
theaters close.
Only southbound traffic on Thirteenth
street in a lane nearest the curb will
be permitted to make right turn into
Z street. Southbound traffic on Thir-
teenth street in the two outer lanes will
be required to continue to Pennsylvania
avenue before making right turn.
Inspector Brown believes the plan
will improve traffic conditions on E
street, particularly in the vicinity of the
National Theater, where jam fire.
quently occurs when the theater is open.
AS street is one way between Thir-
teenth street and the point where it
intersects Pennsylvania avenue, the
abolition of parking on the north side
while the theater is open at night, will
give sufficient room, it was said, for
three lanes OF traffic.
