pether. repeat that in no States Is
this spirit of -partisanship more
pronounced than In California. 1t Is
written in your law, your primary and
election laws 1t dominates your think
ing, and, I may add it is the great
compelling purpose of some OF your
statesmen.
Il am particularly glad to be here in
Sacramento today and speak TO the
toWnspeople of man who has >done
much to further progressive thought
and courageous public action. I refer
to your own Senator, Hiram Johnson
long warrior in the ranks OF true
American progress.
Il rejoice that he said yesterday that
a government that thinks only Of a
favored few and that forgets farmers
whose homes are being taken away
from them and toilers whose wages have
been decreased to the danger line is
unworthy of the name and unfit to
govern
Il believe in this doctrine myself 100
per cent.
ITO the end that the great farming
population may be restored to its for
mer status, ! have advocated number
of fundamental measures of relief.
First, have called for the relief Of
the farmer from the great burden Of
taxation through decreasing the cost
of local government.
II have called for the reorganization
the end that it may serve the people
more and cost the people less.
II have called for a planned use Of
the land. I have called for a policy of a
new financing of farm mortgages in or
der to relieve the burden of excessive
interest and the grim threat of fore
closure
Il have called for genuine govern
mental efforts to devise means by which
the farmer may get the benefit of the
equivalent Of tariff protection similar
to that which industry has.
Assails Grundy Tariff.
Il have called for immediate atten-
ton to the tariff-the Grundy tariff
that has done SO much to destroy for
eign trade by making foreign trade vir-
tually impossible.
And. finally, have called for a con-
sideration of means by which our trade
with the Orient, that has so largely
been destroyed, may be restored.
To the achievement of all of these
things pledge you honest, sincere at
tention. 1t is the spirit in which these
things are approached, my friends, that
counts.
Il do not regard the restoration of
the farmers market as a hopeless task,
but I do regard it as hopeless so long
as leadership remains in Washington
that has no genuine sympathy for the
farmers case.
Let us join, men and women of all
parties, in attempting to end this policy
of inaction. Let us join tirelessly in the
work of advancing to better ordered
economic life

SACRAMENTO, Calf. September %.
Following is the full text OF the
speech Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt
Democratic presidential nominee, de-
livered here yesterday:
Il am exceedingly glad to be here
with you in the capital OF this splendid
State of California. I have often been
in California before, and I greatly ad-
mire and respect your State. Many
words of praise could not approach the
sentiment that I can convey to you in
a simple statement made many years
ago by a great foreign statesman. In
speaking of America and the various
States of America he said that there Is
one State that has within itself all OF
the elements to make great nation,
and that State is California.
Il cannot begin to tell you how I
have been impressed and pleased by
this trip which l have taken. From
East to West 1 find that. while the peo-
pie of this country are suffering the
results of a great depression-perhaps
the greatest in history-there Is abroad
in the land hope and courage and de-
termination that better things are
ahead.
II might almost say Happy days are
here again. or at least they will be soon
If I may Judge bythe reception l have
had And I want to say that you
people here in California have ALREADY
given me happy day.
Declares Party Lines Cut.
There Is another principle that
am stressing wherever I speak that !
know is in line with the fundamental
ideas of your State, and that is that In
this campaign there is going to be less
following of party lines than ever before
in history.
THE people of this country have
come to believe that what this country
needs is new leadership, and that the
battle we are waging is battle for new
leaders: not a mere change OF party
not a mere change of the party en-
blem: not a mere change Of names, but
a change Of principle-a new DEAL my
friends.
In my acceptance speech I called
upon progressive Americans. regardless
OF party, to join me in this campaign.
Il have had remarkable response tc
this invitation Prominent members
and thousands of the rank and file o1
the other party have declared theil
belief that the principles stand FOL
are the principles of genuine American
progress. I invite them. I welcome
them. and I pledge my faith to the
principles that have brought us to-

$26O,OOO LAWYER FEE
IN SWINDlE DEFENDED

CHICAGO, September 23-The 20
per cent fee said to have been offered
Attorney John H. S. Lee for represent
ing British investors in obtaining a
81 100000 settlement from John Factor,
alleged swindler. was described as fair
and reasonable by an attorney before
Federal Judge James H. Wilkerson yes
terday.
Lee, collaborating with other lawyers,
sought to attach a $3,000,00O trust fund
established by the former Chicago
barber for his family. The case was
settled out of court for sl,30O,000 total.
As a witness in Lees behalf. Attor-
ney Horace Kent Tenney testified the
20 per cent fee was proper, considering
that Lee took the case on the con-
tlngent basis with the hazard of re-
ceiving nothing for his services If un-
successful in the litigation. The fee
would amount to s260,00o, which Lee
must share with several other lawyers,
including one In England.
