HARRISON CHALLENGES
PRESIDENTS ADDRESS
Recalls Land Bank Parley at White
House-Claims Credit for
Democrats.
&c the Assnniated Hrnsc

By the Associated Press.
PERU, Ind, October Ex-senator Pat
Harrison of Mississippi, in an address
here last night. aSsailed the Hoover ad-
ministration, declaring "the American
farmer will not be deceived by cam
paign generalities employed to confuse
and mislead."
Harrison said the President at Des
Moines "rodestly assumed much credit
for the legislation granting relief to the
Federal land banks
Il was one of those who sat in con-
ference at the White House, when the
President, after two years of delay in
dealing with the problems of this de-
preston. submitted plans, among which
was one to increase the capitalization
of the Federal land banks.
I'm that conference the distinguished
Senator from Idaho. Mr.. Borah; the
Democratic leader of the Senate, Mr..
Robinson, and myself insisted that be-
fore we would acquiesce and cooperate
in the passage of that legislation there
must be written into it provision Civ
ing authority to the Federal Farm Loan
Bureau to make extensions on INSTALL
ment payments in deserving cases.
Secretary Mellon, his Undersecre-
tary, Mr.. Mills, and the governor Of
the Federal Reserve Board were bit
terly opposed to any such plan and so
expressed themselves"
Senator Harrison asserted that when
the condition of many of the Federal
land banks became such that legisla-
ton was necessary to revive them
through additional capital we wrote into
the law a provision, without the sad-
ministration's cooperation and over its
protest, assuring some relief to de-
faulted borrowers in their installment

one State in the 48 and one of his chief
supporters recently predicted the Amer
lean people never would accept into the
first line any party which goes by the
name of Socialist"
A Paradox.
A perennial paradox of American poll
tics is represented by the Prohibition
party.
In the early years Of the century,
that party saw the issue tD which 1t
was dedicated taken away from 1t by
the bigger parties while 1t continued a
small and numerically almost negligible
factor in the political system.
This year, when prohibition fur
nished the major fighting point in
both the Republican and Democratic
National Conventions. the Prohibition
party goes serenely along conducting its
usual campaign, and expected by no
one to finish higher than fourth-best
in the national poll.
With few exceptions, even those pro-
hibition organizations which are with
holding support from both major par
ties are refusing likewise to endorse
the Prohibition ticket.
Waiting on a Leader.
One or two of the other half dozen
parties in the field this year are based
directly on an appeal to the unem-
ployed and the destitute. Such an ap-
peal might at first glance appear very
skillfully timed; yet it promises to pro-
duce no result whatever in terms of
electoral votes.
From all these indications, il might
possibly be deduced by some th9e the
American electorate is all dressed up
for change in the party system, but
is waiting for the right leader to tell
It where to 60.

WILBUR SAYS HOOVER
IS MAN OF COURAGE
Declares He Crossed Submarine
Zone Many Times to Save Millions
of Children During War.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
MADISON, Wis, October 18.-Presi-
dent Hoover was characterized by Ray
Lyman Wilbur. Secretary of the Interior,
In an address at the University of Wis
consin Field House here last night as
man of extraordinary physical and
moral courage. Mr.. Hoover crossed the
submarine zone many times to save the
lives of millions of little children in the
war-torn countries" Mr.. Wilbur said.
over and over again 1 have seen him
stand firm against the serious attempts
made to break down our American prin-
Ciples, our financial structure, and our
methods of Government based on long
experience.
When the bonus threatened our
financial integrity. he did not discuss it
in an academic manner; he went
straight to Detroit to meet the American
Legion. When the time came to discuss
the farm question. he chose Des Moines
as the hot spot where he could meet
the farmer and tell him of his plans.
During the legislative turmoil again and
again he was the only stable force hold
ing hack mass hysteria."
TIE most critical question before the
citizens of the United States at present.
Wilbur said, is whether they are going
to vote the depression or use their COM
mon sense in making the great deci-
sion that is before u.s.
Either President Hoover will 90 on
with his reconstruction program or Mr..
Roosevelt will take UP the task One
man is seasoned by such an experience
as rarely comes to any one The other
has yet to learn the job." Wilbur said.

R0OSEVE[T'S FARM
PLAN Wins PRAISE
Director of National Progress.
sive League Says Pro-
posaIs Are Specific.
BY the Associated Press.

MITCHELL, s. Oak, October 18.-W
r. Ronald, a director Of the National
Progressive League, said in statement
today that the recent farm relief speech
at Topeka of Franklin D. Roosevelt,
Democratic presidential nominee. re-
ferred to a specific program which
would be carried out through adoption
of the voluntary domestic allotment
plan
This plan, said Ronald. who is editor
of the Mitchell Evening Republican,
would bring annual distribution Of $780,
00O, 900 in tariff benefits to producers OF
wheat, cotton and hogs alone.
This program, he added, would "at
once assure the wheat farmer tariff
benefits of $3.50 annually for each thou
sand bushels of past average produc-
ton; the cotton farmer 500 yearly for
each 10 bales, and the hog producer
$3.50 for each 10000 pounds marketed
for slaughter. And it would be done in
such a way as to provide definite con-
troll of production and increase farmer
income by strengthening open market
prices.
Quotes Business Week.
Ronald quoted from Business Week
Magazine as follows concerning Roose-
velt's Topeka speech:
1T is understood that the Roosevelt
speech was drafted in close consultation
with important Eastern industrial and
business interests which have come to
realize the crucial Importance of q res
storation of agricultural purchasing
power for business recovery. So far
from being indefinite, the six specifica-
tions of a plan of farm relief laid down
in the Roosevelt speech were a precise
and explicit description Of the domestic
allotment plan"
Taking up Gov. Roosevelt's plans
Roland said:
First of Gov. Roosevelt's specifica-
tions for immediate farm relief Is that
the tariff on farm products be made
effective This refers only to those
farm stuffs of which there is an eX-
such surpluseS, have sold in the United
States at world prices, without the
tariff. These are wheat, cotton, hogs
tobacco and rice.
Our allotment plan would make the
tariff effective on these products by
collecting it as an excise tax on all
of the products processed for domestic
human consumption. This tax would
be paid by the processor-the miller
packer cotton mill. manufacturer-intC
the Federal Treasury through the In
ternal Revenue Department.
Benefits Cited.
This would amount to AZ cents PEI
bushel on wheat, S cents per pound
on cotton, cents per pound on hogs
S cents per pound on tobacco and 6
half cent per pound on rice, in each
case the amount of the tariff.
Since the revenue for the tariff
benefit allotments would be derived
from the excise taxes levied on the
professors, the plan would be self
financed, thus meeting another Roose-
velt specification.
THE Federal administration woulc
handle none of the detail and, since
the States would be the units of CO.
operation, it would make impossible ths
development Of Federal bureaucracy
meeting another Roosevelt require
ment, that the plan be economically
sound"

BOSTON, October 18-The Demo-
cratic State Committee yesterday an
nounced the Massachusetts State Branch
of the American Federation of Labor
had Endorsed the candidacy of Gov
Franklin D. Roosevelt. Democratic pres
idential nominee.
Word of the Endorsement, the COM
mittee said, was received in a COM
munication from Robert j. Watt, Sec
retary- treasurer of the State branch
who was quoted as having said, in
part:
The decision to support Gov Roose-
velt was unanimously voted, and en-
Enthusiastically voted, by the Executive
Board, which was empowered by the
State branch to consider the records OF
the candidates and to announce the
attitude of labor in the presidential
situation.
Gov. Roosevelt was found to have
been eminently fair and to have been
justly sympathetic in his relations to
the working men and women OF
America"

BY BYRON PRICE.

One Of the strange phenomena OF
1882 is that in time of such WIDE
spread political unsettlement no pcrty
except the two major parties expects
to carry a single State.
That the old lines are shaky, and in
dependent voting at high peak. no
one denies. Through the whole cam
paign runs deep current of discussion
about doing away with the present clas-
sification of Democrats and Republic
cans and substituting something else.
But what?
1t would seem that somewhere in the
diversified political concepts of 48
States would appear a move to give a
third party standing room in the cleo
toral college. The fact is that even
the territory which normally might be
expected to produce the sprouts of a
new national order shows no signs OF
doing so.
In Minnesota a Governor belonging
to the Farmer-Labor party is support
ing the Democratic nominee for Presi-
dent, and the battle concededly is be-
tween the two old parties.
In Wisconsin, which gave her cleo
toral vote to the La Toilette Progressive
party in 1924, the story Is much the
same. The presidential campaign there
is between Hoover and Roosevelt, even
in the city of Milwaukee, which has a
Socialist mayor
If new aJor parties soon are to ap-
pear-and many political prophets
think it inevitablo-it would seem they
must be builded around some frame
work which does not now exist even
in the form of a draftsnlan's model.
Thomas Wins Attention.
1t is true that this year the Socialist
nominee for President, Norman Thomas
has become a real figure in the cam
paign.
His speeches and his prospects have
been given many columns of space in
leading newspapers of the country
