ROOSEVELT'S FARM
MEASURE ATTACKED
Reciprocal Tariff Plan Hit By
Republican National
Committee. 4
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, September %. = Gov
Franklin D. Roosevelt's proposal to OBJ
tain farm relief through a new recip-
rocal tariff was attacked in statement
issued today by the agricultural divi-
sion Of the Republican National Com
mittee. -
The statement, quoting Senator L. j.
Dickinson of Iowa, director of the Re-
publican senatorial campaign in the
Middle West, was in part as follows:
Il don't know of single instance
where farmers of other nations are not
protected by tariff as high or higher
than our own.
with whom would Gov. Roosevelt
have our farmers trade? with Aus
tralia? That nation has nothing to sell
the American farmer except the farm
products which our own farmers are
trying to dispose of for higher prices
III the world markets. With Argentina?
Again it's the same story.
THE facts are that any reciprocal OF
competitive tariff act that Gov. Roose-
velt and his followers could devise would
simply mean putting the American
farmer into direct competition with the
cheap labor of China, Russia, Egypt and
other foreign nations where the stand
ards Of living are so much lower than
our own that it would ultimately mean
farm peasantry In the United States. y

ment, however. It is not going to be
from the back platform of his train.
Friends Of the Governor, who have
argued he does not have" to answer
queries regarding the bonus payment,
contend that the bonus question is only
one phase of the general economic sit
uation, and that the nominee should not
be expected to take up individual fea-
lures of the general picture.
However. the demand Of Alfred Z.
Smith. in recent magazine article, that
nominees for the presidency make their
position clear on this subject, has served
to concentrate interest on it. and put
the spotlight on Gov. Roosevelt.

A "big game hunt" In the Rockies

multi millionaire brother Of the late
Senator Boies Penrose of Pennsylvania,
who the Democrats hoped to bag this
year by accepting an invitation for Gov.
Roosevelt to spend night at his hotel

Dental nominees party arrived.

Colorado Springs had been arranged,

Four years ago Mr.. Penrose bolted

Mr.. PenroSe contends, economic condi-
tions are paramount. ar; pe told his
friends he considers Gov. Roosevelt too
radical
The Colorado Springs experience was
the first bad break Gov. Roosevelt has
had on the trip. Colorado Springs did
not appear on the original schedule. but
when Democrats said that II the Demo-
cratic nominee would spend q night

McCOOK, Nebr September 29.--Fol-
lowing is the text of the speech by
Franklin D. Roosevelt yesterday at the
| meeting attended by Senator Norris, In
dependent Republican, Nebraska:
am happy to be with you progress
sive citizens Of Nebraska today. You
are progressive not alone by long prac-
tice, but equally by deep-seated In.
tuitive understanding. Your hearts and
minds understand the true meaning OF
the word humanitarian and support
constant progress in behalf OF the
prosperity and the happiness Of our
people.
I believe, too. that the great majority
of thinking people throughout the Ma
tion have come to realize that this Is
the true basic reason for your support
of your great progressive statesman
Senator Norris.
This support, even in his independ-
ent political action, demands with m
creasing respect and sympathy the ao-
miration of every patriotic citizen IN
the East, as well as In the west.
In our long national history we nave
seen in every decade the rise OF pubic
servants to positions Of great power and
great acclaim. In my studies OF our
history have always been deeply inter-
ested in the fact that the appraisal OF
| the greatness of statesmen by their
contemporaries has often been SO COM
pletely reversed by later verdict. II
,, YOU will take even the history OF any
one State during given 10 years you
will find a de fscto leadership ana q
temporary acclaim for many politlcal
leaders whose very names are wholly
forgotten a generation later.
We should remember that the ulti-
mate analysis of history asks the an
swer to questions which are not con-
cerned so much with what you and l,
in these modern days. call ballyhoo. or
headlines. as they are with much SIM
pier fundamentals
History asks: Did the man have in
tegrity?"
did the man have courage?"
did the man have consistency?"
Declares Norris Measures Up.
And If the individual under the
scrutiny of the historic microscope
measured up to an affirmative answer
to these questions, then history has set
him down as great, indeed, in the pages
of all the years to come.
There are few statesmen in America
today who so definitely and clearly
| measure up to an affirmative answer to
the four questions as does the senior
Senator from Nebraska. In his rare
case history has already written the
verdict
Not you alone in Nebraska. but We
in every part of the Nation. give full
recognition to his integrity, to his un-
self1shness. to his courage and to his
j consistency He stands forth-whetheI
| we agree with him on all the little de-
! tails or not-he stands forth as the very
perfect, gentle knight of American pro-
gressive ideals.
I am hoping that at this moment
| thousands of boys and girls-thousands
of first voters-are listening to my
words. for I should like them to give
some thought and some study to the
very remarkable public service Of the
man in whose home town I now stand
I should like them to read of the
| able and heroic fights on behalf Of the

Treasury Condition Worse.
As has been pointed out aboard the
Governors train, there has not been
any material financial betterment in
the condition of the Federal Treasury
since the Governor made that state
ment. 1t is worse instead of better.
However, hecklers on this tour who
shout from the crowds for statement
of his position on the bonus, and others
| who bring pressure to bear for an ex-
position of his views on the subject, are
not going to force Gov. Roosevelt into
answering before he is ready.
But the Democratic nominee has
made up his mind to discuss the matter
publicly before the campaign closes,
although numerous members of his in
ner council insist he does not need to
discuss it, contending that it is not a

to take his own sweet time in selecting
