STATEMENT "LEFT-HANDED."
Hebert Declares Roosevelt Position on
Bonus Lacking in Courage.

NEW YORK, October 20 R.-United
States Senator Felix Hebert of Rhode
Island, in a statement released today
through the Eastern division of the Re-
publican National Committee, described
Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt's statement
on the bonus in Pittsburgh last night as
"left-handed."
Senator Hebert's statement follows:
1.-The best possible construction to be
placed on Gov. Roosevelt's belated state
ment on the bonus is that 1t is a left
handed refusal to support measure
which would take S2,300,000.000 from
the public treasury in this period OF
financial stringency. But it Is not a
courageous statement of his position on
the bonus. 1t can easily be inferred
that if these were the boom times OF
four years ago he would be perfectly
willing to allow this huge dispensatlon
of public funds to particular group OF
citizens for which Republican Con-
crosses have already made ample pro-
vision. He plainly intimates that when
there shall be surplus in the treasury
he will favor the bonus payment.
1.-THE Democratic nominee continues
to demonstrate that lack Of decision,
that expediency in the face Of possible
unpopularity with voters which char
acterized his attitude for year, when
he remained silent and inactive in the
face of wholesale exposure of corrup-
ton in the Tammany controlled gov
ernment of the City of New York.
Gov. Roosevelt continues to show
himself purely an opportuniSt in gov
ernment-a man with all shades OF
opinion to all groups of people. 1t is
particularly significant that this is not
the well ordered criticism Of a man OF
stature great enough to be President
of the United States. 1t is merely a
repetition of statement made six
months ago, before Gov. Roosevelt was
the candidate of any party Tor tn:s
high Office"

LAMMOT DU PONT
SUPPORTS HOOVER
Prefers Republican Position on
Economic Situation and
Prohibition.
BY the Associated Press.

BY tno Associated freSS.
WILMINGTON, Del. October 90
Lammot du Pont. president Of E. I. du
Pont De Nemours & Co. and chairman
of the board Of General Motors Co.,
announced last night that he intends
to vote the Republican ticket.
In a formal statement he said that
after analyzing the positions Of the
major parties on the economic situa-
tion and prohibition, it is the only
course to follow at the coming election
Giving his reasons, du Pont said: {:
There is no question but that the
present Republican party adheres to its
past principles" of tariff protection of
industry and labor.
1T seems probable" he said, that
the Democratic proposals, in anticipa-
tion, as we'll as in operation, would
seriously disturb business, with resultant
unfortunate effect upon the labor situ-
alton, at time when business recovery
is making substantial headway. In
dustry and labor cannot afford at this
time to indorse any change in our
present tariff policy, which must be
maintained at least until economic
equilibrium Is re-established"
On the liquor question Du Pont said
,"the Democratic party seems to have
no logical plan with which to replace
Nation wide prohibition. The Repub-
lican party. although somewhat illog-
ical in the system of control advocated,
has at least taken a constructive posi-
tion In the attempt to learn by expert
ence, and therefore advocating some
steps which will insure against the re-
turn of the evils of the old-time saloon,
and also guard against the past expert
enced evil of State interference. The
Republican party is long way from
explaining how these ends can be ac-
complished, but at least it had sufh-
cient clear insight into the problem to
know what objects were desirable"
"The party having sufficient intelli-
,gence to adopt a constructive view
with respect to these two problems" !"
Du Pont concluded, "can probably be
depended upon to reach satisfactory
solution of less difncult problems.

M'CUEh RECALLED
BY POWER BOARD
Resolution Adopted to Re.
strict Political .'.ctivities
by Employees.

Joseph r. McCuen, secretary Of the
Federal Power Commission, who took
a two-month payless furlough to as
sumo duties with the Republican Ma
tional Committee in New York, has
been ordered by the commission to re-
turn to his post here.
This action was made known late
yesterday, when Chairman George Otis
Smith wrote the secretary that the COM
mission had adopted unanimously q
resolution prohibiting certain political
activities by employees.
1.-THE others Of the commission all
feel that the spirit Of this order would
require you to discontinue at once your
connection with the Republican Nation
al Committee and resume your duties
with the commission" the letter said.
Political Work Restricted.
Under the resolution, no presidential
appointee or holder Of non-civil serv-
ice post with the commission will be
permitted:
ITO hold a position as a member Of
any political committee that solicits
funds;
ITO display such obtrusive partisan
ship as to cause public scandal;
ITO attempt to manipulate party pri-
maries or conventions;
ITO use his position to bring about
his selection as delegate to conventions:
ITO act as chairman Of a political
convention:
ITO assume the active conduct Of a
political campaign;
ITO use his position to interfere with
an election or to affect the result
thereof:
ITO neglect his public duties"
Leave Assailed by Walsh.
The adoption Of this resolution fol-
lowed a recent statement by Senator
Walsh, Democrat. of Montana, pointing
to McCuen's absence from washington
for what he described as political work.
The Senator suggested that the COM
mission carefully consider whether the
secretary's leave ought not to be ex-
tended indefinitely"
Full responsibility for granting pay
less furlough to McCuen from Septem-
Der to November 5 was taken by

HOOVER CONSIDERS
NEW YORK SPEECH
May Appear in Boston Also.
Philadelphia and Newark
Addresses Urged.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, October 20.-Republican
eastern headquarters announced last
night tha. it is likely, but not certain"
President Hoover will deliver a cam
paign speech in New York City; that
he Is considering making an address
in Boston, and that he has been urged
to take the stump in Philadelphia and
Newark. N. j.
The final decision on whether he
will appear at Madison Square Gar
den is contingent, it was explained, on
what Is decided about the proposed Bos-
ton, Newark and Philadelphia speeches.
While Calvin Coolidge has not yet
announced whether he will do any
more speaking for the national ticket.
campaign leaders said they were still
hoping" he would make at least one
more address.
Four Republican leaders from Cool
idges native State of Vermont, called
at headquarters with what they called
highly optimistic" reports.
1928 Vote Recalled.
Leonard F. Wing. former State chair
man, said the Presidents Des Moines
speech created more favorable re-
action than anything that has hap
pened since the beginning of the cam
paign"
H. T. johnson of Montpelier recalled
that the 1923 Vermont vote was Hoo
yer. 9O,404: Smith, 44,040.
And when it is borne in mind that
Gov. Roosevelt is no Smith" he added
1T is easy to figure out what will hap
pen on November g.
The other two in the party we're NJ
A. Campbell of Mortified and H. w
Mason, delegate to the Chicago con-
vention.
Mrs. Nathaniel Thayer, director of the
immigration and Americanization d.
| vision at headquarters, made the fol-
lowing comment on a poll Of congress
sional candidates conducted by the
Women's Organization for National
Prohibition reform:
The poll disclosed that out Of ques-
tionnaires sent to candidates of al
parties only BAT of more than
400 candidates have declared for out
right repeal.
1T is highly significant that a total
Of only 10 scattered affirmative votes
were received from all the Democratic
Southern States and no returns were
made from 25 States.
Repeal Majority Secuted.
1T is obvious from this poll it would
be impossible for the Democrats to OBJ
tain from the next Congress a two
thirds majority for outright repeal in
either house.
The analysis of the figures
| should be conclusive evidence that the
extravagant promises of the Demo-
| cratic campaign leaders are as impossi-
bic Of fulfllment regarding repeal as
they have proven to be on all other is
sues in the campaign"
Edward Martin, Republican chairman
of Pennsylvania, sent headquarters a
telegram from a meeting of his county
chairmen which concluded:
pennsylvania Is safely Republican
and will give Hoover a rousing ma
jority."
Headquarters made public telegram
from Ora Eugene Monnette, founder OF
the Bank Of America in Los Angeles, in
which he described the President as

I'VE can make savings by reorganiza-
tion of existing departments, by abolish
ing many of the innumerable boards
and commissions which over long
period of years have grown up as
excrescencies on the regular system" 4"
he said. These savings can probably
be made to total many hundreds of
millions of dollars a year."
These savings, plus tax on beer. he
said. were aimed at definite balancing
of the budget.
cat the same time" Mr. Roosevelt
added, If starvation and dire need on
the part of any of our citizens make
necessary the appropriation Of addi-
tional funds which would keep the,
budget out of balance, I shall not
hesitate to tell the American people the
full truth and recommend to them the
expenditure Of this additional amount"

Eeresies Home to Reost.

He quoted from a document he said
had been published a week ago and
signed by both Alfred E. Smith and
Calvin Coolidge:
"All the costs of local, State and ma
tional Government must be reduced
without fear and without favor"
Mr.. Roosevelt said that ''for my dis
tinguished opponent" 1881 was the year
when all his distinctive 1928 economic
heresies seemed to come home to roost
together" adding that foreign loans to
expand export trade could no longer
be made. retaliation arose against the
tariff, and debtor nations abandoned
specie payments.
LAS a direct result of all these in
f1uences, our export markets dried Up,
our commodity prices slumped and our
domestic business was declining at a
more rapid rate than business in some
of the backward and crippled countries, "
he said. Unemployment also began to
rise here in even greater proportions
than in Europe"
Il want to say with all sincerity that
recite this record with reluctance" "
he said a moment later as he concluded
his views of the succession Of events
that preceded the economic troubles.
Pays Hoover Tribute.
Politics or no politics. I pay my
tribute to the devotion Of the President.
1t is not true to say that he has not
been unremitting in his efforts and
for one have never heard 1t said.
But do indict his administration
for wrong action, for delayed action and
for lack of frankness and courage"
He added that the administrations
'appeal for sympathy" was based on a
denial that its policies had failed.
In such circumstances" he added,
II should fail utterly IN my duty to
link them directly to the havoc which
they have wrought and which they
threaten to continue"
As he turned to a discussion Of what
he himself. proposed to do, the Gov.
ernor said he would approach the prob
lem of carrying out the plain precept
OF our party to reduce Federal expen-
ditures by Is per cent with the idea
that Washington should tahe from the
States nothing more than is necessary

Chairman Smith. In his letter to the
secretary, he said he had advised Sen
ator Walsh the services of McCuen were
needed in Washington, but that the
condition Of the commissions finances
was such that he was impelled to grant
the leave.
In short" he quoted from q letter to
Walsh, Il regarded the furlough of Mr..
McCuen as solely an economy measure,
with some sacrifice Of efficiency, but
with the avoidance of salary cuts else
where. Had the current appropriation
been adequate to meet the pay roll I
would not have approved this absence
Of Mr.. McCuen, as told him when he
made his application"
