BY the Associated Press.
The political talk went on across the
land today, stimulated by charges from
administration Republicans in Wash
ington that Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt
had surrendered to Tammany Hall and
that his reforestation program is ut
terly visionary and chimerical."
But one of his most ardent support
ers, William c. McAdoo, in New York
speech summarized:
"AN this talk of deals and trades Is
simply and only echoes Of a sharp con-
test and the diSappointments that al
ways follow such battle"
He praised the Roosevelt acceptance
speech as "masterful." predicting that
enough voters would believe in the Gov
ernor's program Ito see that Chez is
enabled to make it effective
Bishop James Cannon, Jr, insisted at
Indianapolis that he had not forecast a
Republican victory in his July 4 speech
at Ocean Grove, N. J.
Platforms Are Analysed.
He said he had analyzed Democratic
and Republican platforms, recalling that
the former is for repeal, while the latter
Is mot binding upon any official or
member" of the party.
Until Mr.. Hoover speaks, final judg-
ment must be reserved Cannon as
serted. adding that he had said the
eighteenth amendment would not be re-
pealed
The administration criticism came
from Secretary Of Agriculture Hyde and
Senator Moses of New Hampshire.
HYDE said of the Roosevelt reforeSta-
tion employment program:
This grand project is worthy OF the
Economic foresight of the Governor" ="
HYDE estimated that a million men
could plant a billion trees each day,
but said there are not 200,000,000 trees
an call the nurseries in America"
But suppose there were 300,000,000
seeding trees available" he continued.
"a million men could plan them In
about three hours"
Moses called Roosevelt's July tele-
gram to the Tammany celebration IAN
inauspicious beginning" for the Gov
ernor's "new deal-unless he is dealing
from the bottom"
THE Fourth of July, 1776, was the
day when the United States declared
its independence from British domi-
nation" Moses said 1.-THE Fourth Of
July, 1882. was the day when Franklin
D. Roosevelt made known his surrender
to Tsmmany Hall"
Smiles at Statements.
Roosevelt, at Albany, made no COM
fnent, simply smiling broadly at the
Moses and Hyde statements. He
doubtless was pleased by Jouett
Shouse's announcement in Chicago
that he would support the Roosevelt
Garner ticket. Shouse is close friend
of Alfred E. Smith.
In his statement Secretary Hyde
said the forestry program Of New
~ fFzE --rH.s sat, - Il11=,vr11A
Enthusiastically exclairns, I have done it,
and I am doing it today calls for
reforestati ton of 100000 acres over
period Of IS years at a cost of $20,-
GOO ,000
1T employs u men on a permanent
basis and enough occasional employees
to equal the hours of 207 more per-
manent employees" the Secretary con-
tinued Thus the Governors enthu-
Siastic Eureka reduces itself, as a
matter Of permanent employment, to
279 men!"
Taking a premise of 100, ,000, 600 acres
of marginal and abandoned land east
of the Mississippi River, Hyde said in
reforestation "the cost, on the basis OF
New Yorks program, would be around
S2,00o.000,0 ,000," and the men employed
"wouid equal, on the basis of New York's
program, 27,900 permanent employees"
Many Years Required.
"The tremendous crop which the
Governor anticipates would be from 25
to so years in maturing" Hyde said.
SIN the meantime, the debt would have
doubled or tripled. The oversupply of
forest products would have depressed
the market to nothing fiat This is, In
Gov. Rooseyelt's opinion, 'self-sustain-
ing This is adequate security for a
bond issue with a vengeance"
Senator Moses. in his statement, said:
The Fourth Of July, 1776, was the
day when the United States declared
its independence from British dornina-
ton. The Fourth of July, 1882, was
the day when Franklin d. Roosevelt
made known his surrender to Tammany
Hall
His telegram to the wigwam can be
interpreted in no other sense. though
it has its ludicrous features as well.
Gov. Roosevelt surely must have had
his tongue in his cheek when he ap-
pealed TO Tammany Hall to stand firm
against interests Of personal greed
Shades OF Samuel Seabury!
This seems to me to be an insuspi-
cious beginning for Gov. Rooseveits
new deal-unless he is dealing from
the bottom Of the pack"
