tngton, said last night that he was con-
fident President Hoover would carry the
Badger State in November 1t had been
apparent to him for weeks, he said,
that Kohler, the regular Republican
candidate for Governor, would defeat
Gov. La Toilette, although the margin
Of Kohler's victory in the primary was
greater than he had expected.
Garner Is Optimistic.
Speaker Gamers view Of the political
situation in the West was very different
Representasive Johnson. Referring to
the addresses which Gov. Roosevelt has
made during his Western trip, Speaker
Garner said:
Like the Democratic platform, Gov.
Roosevelt's speeches need no interpreta-
ton. He has delved deep into the major
problems Of our country, and I am con-
f1dent he has impressed upon the peo-
pie that change in administration has
become a national necessity.
Though in the past week have had
neither the inclination nor the time to
participate IN campaign work, have
had the opportunity to analyZe the ad-
dresses delivered by Gov. Roosevelt
Many OF the salutary proposals contained
in his program are possible Of realization
without additional legislation. They can
quickly be brought to fruition through
the proper, and, 1 might say, sym
pathetic administration of existing laws.
Many Of the changes proposed by Roose-
welt to restore normal economic and
financial conditions could have been
made by the present national leadership.
Congress has provided the legal ma
1l,t I..,&
laws has been potent factor in bring
ing the existing distress upon the cotIn-
try.
Denial of Radicalism.
THE remedies which Gov. Roosevelt
prescribes for the ills which have pros
trated our country contain no element
of radicalism. They are the well
thought out proposals of thoroughly
practical. reliable man, far removed
from the visionary. Let our opponents
match, If they can, the progressive pro-
gram sponsored by Gov. Roosevelt, and
to all of which I give unhesitatingly my
hearty Endorsement l call upon them
to abandon their attitude of carping
criticism and campaign OF personal at
argument, proposal with proposal, and
upOll
the high plane that Roosevelt has, so
that in the matching Of ideas an appeal
shall be made to reason and intelli-
gence and not to prejudice and section
alisrn.
Il have been convinced for many
months that the Democratic party is to
win this year. But no one anticipated
the tremendous drift to the party that
is now being revealed in every poll and
test vote. 1t will be more than a VIC
tory: it will be an utter reputation Of
those responsible for existing condi-
tions."
Speaker Garner returned to Wash
ington Friday from Texas, where his
mother died last Tuesday. He will
leave here today for New York, where
final plans will be made for his cam
paign trip.
This week will mark the close of
Roosevelt's Western swing. as he winds
up his trip in Chicago with a speech
there Saturday. October l, before re-
turning to New York State in time for
the Democratic State convention, Octo-
Der 3 and 4 President Hoover's first
campaign speech Is to be delivered Oc-
tober in Des Moines, Iowa.
