NEW YORK, October Ex-senator j.
Hamilton Lewis of Illinois, returned
from Europe yesterday and announced
he would campaign for Franklin y.
Roosevelt.
Il am confident that Gov. Roosevelt
will win," he said as he boarded train
for Chicago.
Senator Lewis said he expected to
do most of his campaign speaking IN
Missouri, Indiana and Illinois. The Sen
ator was accompanied by Mrs. Lewis.
Il have, in long political life, been
in many election campaigns, but have
always found that the decision Is ac-
tually made by the people during the
week preceding the voting" said the
Senator.
In the present campaign for the pres
idency, the stimulus is that there has
been too much antagonism of the Gov
ernment; that there is a need OF new
people at the helm; and that there is
a need for new deal. am confident
that Gov Roosevelt will win.
There is another factor in the cam
paign. There has been too much party
politics and too little personal human
ity in relief measures to serve the hum
CRY and the homeless. Here we are, the
richest country in the world, with her
people the poorest and most blighted OF
any quarter of the globe. That must
be corrected, and the correction takes
precedence over all other measures"

Suppy of Reserve.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, october IA statement
from the publicity department of the
Republican National Committee. issued
under the signature Of Senator L. j.
Dickinson, Republican, of Iowa, yester-
day charged that "mouthpieces of DEM
ocratic propaganda have flagrantly mis-
stated the facts with reference to the
gold standard situation"
Relative to President Hoover's dis
closure that at one time last Winter
the Secretary Of the Treasury had in
formed him that if nothing were done
to fortify our gold supplies we could
not remain on the gold standard more
than two weeks. it has been stated that
we were never within $2,7O0, ,000,0 Of
the lawful suspension of gold pay

Free Gold" Dangerously Low.
"The truth of the matter is our So
called free gold was down to danger
ously low level, below $400, 100000 last
February" the statement said. by
free gold is meant the gold held by the
Federal Reserve System over all legal
requirements, including the 40 per cert
or more reserve against Federal Reserve
notes. 35 per cent against deposits in
the Federal Reserve Bank and per
cent gold redemption fund against the
part of notes not covered by gold.
This free gold was a drop from
about S700,000,000 in the previous Au-
gust, from $1,000, 100000 in the early
part of 1880, and from nearly 1,200,-
900 900 in 1928 and 1929"
The statement said rapid expectation
of gold to foreign countries in liquida-
tion of foreign balances held in this
country neceSsitated the steps which
eliminated in introduction of the Glass
Steagall bill to fortify gold supplies.
Introduced by Democrats.
The bill, now law, was introduced,
the statement said, by two Democrats,
who were in position to handle leg
islatlon of this character most expe-
ditiously and were invited to introduce
the bill.
THESE Democrats realized the grav-
lty of conditions and co-operated with
the administration in securing the en-
actment of the legislation"

JOLT TO RECOVERY
FEARED BY MILLS
Treasury Secretary Declares
Roosevelt Victory Would
Hurt Business.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ST. PAUL, october 12.-Ogden L.
Mills, Secretary Of the Treasury, said
in an interview today that election Of
Gov. Roosevelt, Democratic candidate
for President, would halt business re-
covery, which he asserted now was
underway.
The period between election and the
assumption of office by successor to
President Hoover would be one Of un-
certainty, he said.
Fear of Uncertainty.
Gov. Roosevelt has not declared for
continuation of the policies which Pres
ident Hoover has put into effect and
which are aiding in the recovery" the
secretary said. Another reason for my
belief that election of the Democratic
candidate would be bad for business Is
the provision in his party's platform
and assertions in his Sioux City speech
calling for a tariff revision.
There is nothing that would be more
disturbing to business at this time or In
the near future than complete tariff
revision. 1t would throw business into
an attitude of uncertainty, injuring the
confidence upon which it is rebuilding
itself now"
Secretary Mills. who will make cam
paign address in Minneapolis tonight,
said his visits through the West have
failed to convince me that Roosevelt
is the threat that had been told by
Democrats he would be-"
Sees Tight Fight"
He said he was convinced that Cali
fornia would be won by Hoover. In Mis-
souri,. he said. there will be tight
fight
LAS matter of fact, haven't found
any Roosevelt sentiment anywhere
have simply found persons who are
against Hoover" he said. There is an
absence of enthusiasm for Roosevelt and
the only serious threat Republicans
must overcome is a negative attitude in
some areas against the President. But
that is being overcome"
Secretary SMills characterized last
nights New York address by former
President Coolidge as "a humdinger. the
kind would like to make if could"
