Continued From First Pase.)

Whether Gov. Roosevelt would have
more to say on the bonus was not IN
dicated as he headed for indianapolis,
national headquarters OF the American
Legion.
The Governors itinerary called for
arrival in indianapolis at II am. and
departure from there at pm. with
brief stop at Terre Haute.
His ENGAGEMENTS included the eX-
tending of greeting to county and state
Democratic officials and to 10000 school
teachers in con- ention in the after
noon.
Heading across Ohio and Indiana
into Illinois, the Governor entered what
political observers regard as hotly dis
puted territory.
No Doubt About Ohio.
In a brief jaunt through a corner OF
Ohio Yesterday, Gov. Roosevelt told
citizens of Steubenville that he "had
no doubt" how the State would go IN
November. He also told the residents
OF that city and of Weirton, w. Va,
another steel town across the river,
that when next he returned to the sec
ton he hoped "the wheels OF industry
will be turning again" -
He promised if elected to do all with
in the power of the Federal Govern
ment to that end.
Both at Wheeling and at Pittsburgh,
the Governor said the sights ne had
seen in his l50-mile auto trip had dis
tressed" and 'saddened" him.
The Governors route lay through the
brilliant russet and gold Of Autumn IN
the Alleghenies-dotted with occasional
gray little mining towns-and return
ing he followed the Ohio with its fringe
of steel mills.
All dav the skies were overcast. but
the threat of rain did not materlallze
and the seats in the Forbes Field stands
were filled when the Governor launched
his address.
VIII Demand Pledge.
In his exposition Of his views on gov
ernmental economy. the candidate SAID:
Before any man enters my cabinet
he must give me tWofold pledge OF:
Absolute loy atty to the Democratic
platform and especially its economy
plank.
Complete cooperation with me,
looking TO economy and Reorganization
of his department"
Continuing he said. he hoped that
It would not be necessary Ito increase
the present scale of taxes, and I call
definite attention to the fact that as
soon as the Democratic platform pledge
is enacted into legislation modifying
the Volstead act. source OF new reve-
nue. amounting to several hundred mil
lions Of dollars a year will be made
available toward the balancing of the
budget.

tax on beer which would be raised
through the sale of beer in those States
and those States only which by State
law allow the sale Of beer.

platform which opposes the return of
the saloon"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the budget was not
balanced at the present time land the
whole Job must be done over again
at the next session Of Congress.
ConceaIment and vacillation.
mo one who will take the trouble to
read that speech (the recent one by
Speaker Garner) will doubt that the
patriotic deter1nination< of a willing
Congress to balance this budget at any
cost was frustrated by the same kind
of a concealment and yacillation that
produced the staggering deficits Of the
years ending June 80. 1881, and 1892"
he said
The New York Governor said the
Treasury statement at the end OF the
Grst quarter of this fiscal year on Sep
tenber 80 showed an excess of expendi-
tures~ over receipts of S402, ,943 ,002 and
that for the corresponding quarter of
the last fiscal year the deficit was only
S380,495 ,584.
There is therefore strong indication
that we are in for another staggering
Iofcit ha sTf 10 Y0rncant rate
continues, the true deficit as of June
80 next year will be over $1,000, 100000,
not as large as 1t was in the unprece-
dented fiscal year of 1882, but so great
that it makes US catch our breath.
II regret to say that the appeal OF
this administration for applause for
its soundness and courage last Winter
is simply not based on facts"
Congress Met Demand.
He argued that under repeated in
sistence that the budget was being bal
anced, Congress gave our Treasury
of revenue it asked for and that, at
the end, the administration assured
Congress and the country that the task
had been accomplished"
II have already shown how unreli-
able these constant assurances are"
he added. ut is not seemly to con-
lecture motives. but think it is fair
to say the whole record of administra-
ton policy in the last four years re-
veals that it has been afraid to trust
the people of the United States with
the true facts about their affairs.
While the President claims that he
did finally recommend new taxes, I
fear that his courage came two years
too late and in far too scanty measure
