PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN
HELD IN WARD CLASS
Prof. E. A. Ross of Wisconsin q.
Says Intellectual Level Has Been
Lowered by Hoover's Methods.

The intellectual and moral level of
the presidential campaign is sinking
rapidly, Prof Edward A. Ross of Wis
consin University, noted author and
chairman of the Roosevelt Campaign
Committee of the National Popular
Government League. said in a statement
issued here by Judson King, director of
the committee.
The campaign. because Of President
Hoover's fear campaign" Prof. Ross
said. has degenerated to the status of
ward politics"
1T is a sad disappointment" Ross
said, that the President has departed
from the type of campaign consistent
with the dignity Of the presidential
Office"
Prof Ross said that the frantic
warning" Of President Hoover that not
only our form of Government. but our
civilization will be swallowed up unless
he is reelected is not only an affront
to the intelligence of the United States,
but it is an indictment of the very
form Of Government to which he pro-
claims his allegiance"

This colored vote has been a standby
of the G. o. P. in the past.
New York States total registration
this year is 5,218,000, as compared to
4,875,721 in 1928. The registration in
1923 with the Smith, Hoover campaign
on was greater than ever in history.
This years registration indicates the
great interest that the people are taking
in the election. In some quarters it is
believed the increased vote is a protest
against conditions. The unemployed
have more time to register than ever
before.

What support Col. Donovan will draw

There has been comment on the fact
that Donovan has not lashed out ct
Tammany to any great degree in this
campaign. His campaign, however, has
been very active. He is widely popular
in the State, and the Republicans have
counted on Donovan to aid the ticket
materially. If the Democratic sweep
in this State materializes, 1t would ap
