tons made to him as the "Republi-
can program" the chief executive
devoted much of his address to an
attack upon statements made by
Democratic leaders during the cam
paign and to what he called the
destructive Democratic program" pro-
posed during the last session of con-
greSS.
The Democratic candidate for
president" he asserted, has refused
to renounce or disavow these des-
tructive measures, or to give the coun-
try the assurance it deserves that he
will not be party to these measures
including the prepayment of the
bonus.
Still In Allegiance
Observing this. and examining the
dominant elements of his party under
the leadership of the vice presidential
candidate. We can only assume that
this program is still in allegiance, to
be produced by them if they shall
come into power"
The president directed one main
shaft OF his attack upon letter he
quoted as having been written by
Roosevelt and containing the state
ment that he believed lin the inherent
right of every citizen to employment
at a living wage and pledge my sup
port to whatever measures may
deem necessary for inaugurating self
liquidating public works, such as
utilization of our water resources,
flood control and land reclamation,
to provide employment for all sur
plus labor at all times
There could be only one conclu-
sion from this statement" the presi-
dent asserted. terming it "a hope held
out to 100000 men and women now
unemployed and suffering that they
will be given jobs by the government.
THE most menacing condition in
the world today" he added, lis the
lack of confidence and faith. It is a
terrible thing to increase this under
mining effect by holding out for
political purposes, promises to 10000
900 men which can not be kept and
must end in leaving them disillu-
stoned"
Would Cost $4,000, 100000
An effort to furnish such a num-
Der Of men with government work,
he said. would cost between s9,00O,-
100000 and sl2,O00OO0,OO and would
withdraw SO much money from in
dustry as to cause more unemploy-
ment.
Il ask you" he said. whether or
not such frivolous promises and
dreams should be held out to suffer-
ing unemployed people. Is this the
new deal?"
The president likewise devoted much
of his speech to what he called mis-
statement of facts" concerning the
fiscal policy of the government in
recent years.
Quoting Roosevelt as saying in his
recent Pittsburgh speech that the ad-
ministration had been 'eXtravagant
in its fiscal affairs and had increased
the routine" cost CT government by
S1,000,000000, between 1927 and 1881
the president asserted:
THE ordinary expenses of the fed
eral government except for relief
purposes have been reduced willis
those of the government of New York
state have been increased. Moreover
there will be proof that the governor
of New York. no doubt through ignor.
ance Of our fiscal system or through
misinformation supplied to him, ane
totally ignoring the actions of thu
Democratic house of representatives
has broadcast a misstatement O

by the Democratic candidate are IL

it leaves me nonplussed where to be

Would Raise Ante
Quoting Roosevelt as saying h
would cut $1,000, 100000 a year from
the costs of government. the presi
dent declared that if he was reflect

fiscal year a reduction from the to
