welt declared: You of California have
the opportunity once more this year
of sending to the Senate another great
progreSsive-a man who has abundantly
proven an extraordinary administrative
ability in the tremendous task of the
war days as member of the cabinet
of woodrow Wilson. l want to see Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo representing this
State in the Senate of the United
States
McAdoo is opposed by Tallant Tubbs,
who won the Republican nomination
from Senator Samuel Shortridge, and
Rev. Robert Shuler, prohibitionist can
didate.
Holds Debate One Sided.
Mr.. Roosevelt at the auditorium said:
perhaps 1 am overstating the case in
suggesting that the issues have been
definitely Joined because unfortunately
between the two great national parties
the debate has so far been a bit one
sided. In fact, the challenge for the de-
filming of issues has not been accepted.
Il had hoped. and I still hope, that
the lines OF demarcation could be sharp
would be served if in our national CAM
paign the leaders of the two great par
ties could agree first of all on the def
milton of certain problems of govern
ment. Then, having defined the prob
lens it would certainly be useful if
each party could in clear terms offer
their own solutions, joining debate on
the adviSability, the strength and weak
ness of those solutions. But, you can't
join debate with only one man on the
platform"
After reviewing his railroad speech at
Salt Lake City, the candidate remarked:
The next day there was displayed such
complete lack of coordination in
their political economic thinking that it
is splendid illustration of the methods
by which the present Republican lead
erShlp is conducting the affairs of that
party. And, may I add. that the con-
duct of their own campaign is as inept
as their conduct of the affairs of the
Nation itself"
Hits G. o. p. Farm Plan.
Abiding to his farm speech at To-
peka, KanS., Mr.. Roosevelt said THE
president of the United States Cham
ber of Commerce himself is no Wis
ionary and yet he believes that some
such plan is practical and necessary
But what do the Republican leaders
say? The distinguished gentleman who
is running against me says that moth
ing can be done for the farmer except
to improve general business conditions
And meanwhile he must-indeed he
may do, according to the administra-
tion, what has been suggested to him
by the Presidents Home Farm Board,
including his Secretary of Agriculture

shoot every tenth cow
Then he added as the crowd shouted
with laughter: MY friend from Okla
homa and California, Will Rogers. had
an even better ggeStion-that we
shoot every third Republican poll
tician"
In conclusion, Mr.. Roosevelt assert
ed: Il am content to rest our cause
because our opponents are rather in
articulate, or merely critical. 1 shall
continue, during the coming weeks, to
set forth the Democratic policy and
the Democratic plan for a greater So
cial justice, for better ordered
America"
Speeds Through Palo Alto.
En- route to Los Angeles, Mr. Roose-
welt passed through Palo Alto, the
legal residence of President Hoover.
he lTdlIl QlO nOU stop.
The shouting of the crowd at San
Jose, county seat of President Hoover's
home county Santa Clara, and the
music of the ,bagpipes caused the son
of the Democratic nominee to don
topcoat over his pajamas and go to the
back platform shoeless.
In the monday speech before the
Commonwealth Club, non-political or
ganlzatlOn of business men, Roosevelt
said I'VE are steering steady course
toward economic olgarchy, if we are
not there already"
Clearly" he added. "all this calls
for reappraisement of values. A new
builder of more industrial plants, a
creator of more railroad systems, an Or
ganizer of more corporations. is as
likely to be a danger as a help. The
day of the great promoter or the finan-
cial titan, to whom We granted any
thing if only he would build or de-
velop, is over. Our task now is not dis
covery or exploitation of natural re-
sources, or necessarily producing more
goods. 1t is the soberer, less dramatic
business of administering resources and
plants already in hand, or seeking to
re-establish foreign markets for our
surplus production, of meeting the prob
lem Of underconSumption, of adjusting
pIOOucIlOIl 10 consumption, OF Q1SCrlDuI-
ing wealth and products more equitably,
of adapting existing economic organ
izations to the service of the people.
The day of enlightened administration
has come"
Johnson Praises Roosevelt.
During the day United States Senator
Hiram johnson, California Republican
p1 ogressive, declared the attitude of
Mr.. Roosevelt is in sharp contrast with
that of MIR. Hoover has maintained to-

johnson. who was the progressive vice
presidential candidate with Mr.. Roose-
velt's cousin, the famous 1T. R." when
he bolted the party in 1912, said Gov.
Roosevelt was very gracious and gen.
erous in his address at Sacramento I
personally appreciate what he said and
I am sure it is equally appreciated by
the progressive Republicans of this
State"
At Sacramento Roosevelt described
johnson as long warrior in the ranks
to true American progress"
