DETROIT, Sept. % 0N.sO.
Michigan will flood the nation
with smuggled liquor if voters re-
peal the State prohibition law at
the November election. according
to r. N. Holsaple. State Superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League.
National leaders are profoundly
disturbed over this possibility, it
became known today. The Su-
preme Court recently ruled that
a proposal for repeal Of the act
and substitution of a liquor con-
troll board system similar to that
of Ontario shall be included in
the November ballot.
Apprehension of dry chiefs was
intensified when the Wayne e
county Detroit Republican con-
vention yesterday declare d in
favor of repeal of the State liquor
law and the Eighteenth Amend
ment. Out-State districts. how
ever, are believed to be still
strongly dry.
Col. Frank B. Ebbert, of Los
Angeles, and w. C. johnson, of
New York, both officials of the
national league, were in Michigan
today with Sergt. Alvin c. York,
dry champion among World War
heroes. Sergeant York was en-
gagged in a series of addresses.

ROOSEVELT BIDS

Appeals to Anti-HooVer COP.
=. Who Supported Senator
Johnson and HCAdoo
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. %
G.N.SD. Gov. Franklin D.
Roosevelt's campaign for the
presidency was directed into a
definitely new channel today
as the Democratic nominee
boldly and pointedly made a
bid for the Progressive-Repub-
lican vote of the great West.
Here in Mr.. Hoover's home
State, where political discomfort
is as rampant as in other sec
tions of the country, Governor
Roosevelt is making literally a
spectacular bid for the support
of such independent Progressives
as regularly re-elect Hiram John
son to the Senate.
For Johnson 100 per cent
Senator johnson is one Of Mr..
Hoover's Severest critics. In a
speech at Modesto this week, he
declared that Cover m n t
which poured out millions OF
dollars to banks and railroads
while ignoring the farmer being
forecloSed and the worker out Of
employment was mot fit to gov
ern."
After quoting from the speech,
Governor Roosevelt said:'
81 believe in this doctrine
myself 100 per cent"
And the Democratic nominee
went pointedly out of his way to
pay tribute to Senator Johnson.
Governor Roosevelt's praise of
Senator johnson was in marked
contrast to the action of Charles
Evans Hughes when he came to
California in 1915. Hughes ig-
nored johnson and chose to
fraterniZe with Johnson's Repub-
lican enemies in the State.
Hughes lost California by 1000
.votes-and lost the Presidency,
for California decided it.

The Democratic appeal to the
Progressive Republican element in
California is not confined solely
to the national ticket, either, for

Speeches Urging Revolution

White House Told

Republican managers have
been keeping a constant finger
on the pulse of the farmers
holiday movement in Iowa
ever since announcement that
President Hoover would make
his first campaign address in
Des MOines October 4.
Information reaching the White
House indicates the President may
be subjected to an unfavorable
demonstration on the occasion Of
his farm belt invasion. All pos
sible steps are being taken by
his political associates to prevent
any such occurrence.
Speeches Hint Revolution
Scouts who attended the conven-
ton of the Iowa Farmers Union
in Des Moines have reported that
the ruralists are in ugly mood.
Both John A. Simpson, national
president of the union, and Milo
Reno, president of the National
Farmers Holiday Association, ex-
horted the delegates to turn out
10000 strong" on the occasion OF
Mr.. Hoover'S arrival and protest
the existing order of things.
Intimations of revolution" and
dictatorship" were heard in the
course of their addresses.
just what manner of audience
the President will address at Des
Moines remained mystery today.
National Chairman Everett San
ders wired the original announce
ment of the speaking engagement
from Chicago without specifying
what group or organization was
to be addressed.
Hoover Works on Speech
Theodore Joslin, secretary to
the President in charge of press
relations, admitted he didn't
know, and apparently all arrange
ments for assembling the neces-
Sary crowd were in the hands OF
Chicago headquarters.
Mr.. Hoover meanwhile was de-
voting considerable attention to
this all-important speech. Sen
ator Dickinson (R) of Iowa is
making an analysis of Governor
RooSevelt's Topeka address, in
which the Democratic agricultural
policies we're outlined, and this is
to be woven into the Presidents
statement of position on the farm
problem.
According to Secretary JoSlin,
however, the Executive will not
confine himself to farm relief,
but will undertake broad discus
sion of the issues of the day"
It was not considered likely the
final proofs would be ready for
the printer until after Governor
Roosevelt's speech at Sioux City
