give a reasonable profit only" the nominee said.
 "The power issue," he said, "when vigorously handled in the public interest means abundant and cheaper current for American industry, reduced rates and in- creased use in millions of homes, and preservation of our water pow CT resources in coordination with flood control, reclamation and ir- rigation."
 Assailing the republican admin istration's position on the power question, the nominee remarked that it proposes to continue as in the past to allow the interstate promoters and manipulators of public utilities to play fast and without adequate regulation or con- trol." He referred to the crash of the Insull empire as a financial mon strosity that has opened our eyes to has outsmarted the slow-moving power Of government"
 President Hoover was assailed Uy th0 Ah SVAhCNSAcAA with federal regulation of inter- state power projects.
 "The president has sbeen silent on the non-enforcement of the fed eral water power act" Roosevelt declared, "He has done nothing to block the financial operations incl development as planned by it's pro- motors.
 My distinguished opponent is against giving the federal govern ment the right to operate its own power business"
 He then spoke of Muscle Shoals, the St Lawrence waterway devel- opment, Boulder Dam and the Columbia river development as part of the vital stake the Amer ican people have in the proper handling of this issue"
 There has been in the past few years, as the federal trade commis, sion has shown, systematic, sub tie, de1iberated and unprincipled campaign of transformation, of propaganda-andi if may use the words. of lies and falsehood," he continued.
 "The spreading of this informa- ton has been bought and paid for by certain great private utility cor porations. It has permeated the schools, the editorial colums of newspapers, the activities of politi- cal parties, the universities and printed literature in our book stores.
 "A false public policy has been spread throughout the land. from the innocent school teacher to a certainty less innocent former chairman of the republican na- tional committee"
 To charges of radicalism on mat ters of puhEc policy, Roosevelt as- serted:
 Judge me by the selfish pur. poses of these utility leaders who have talked of radicalism while they were selling watered stock tc the people and using our schools to deceive the coming generation.
 My policy is as radical as Amer ican liberty, as radical as the con- stitution of the United States" Roosevelt departed from Oregon to the cheers of several hundred democrats who focked to the rail- road station at Portland. Although the crowd was not as large as the throng that welcomed him at Se- attle, the Portland democrats dis played more enthusiasm. They broke through police lines in thcif efforts to reach the Roosevelt auto- mobile during the parade from his special train to the hotel and 1t was only with difficulty that officers cleared a path for the delegation. During his stay he received as- surances from political leaders that he would carry the state by 30.000 or more and visiting the nearby farming community of Gresham where he pledged stabilization of the agricultural dollar. His first California stop was scheduled for Bedding where he was to deliver brief address this morning.
