MERRIAM IN
STRONG PLEA
FOR SUPPORT
Pledges Hearty Cooperation
With National Administration S
Relief Program.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 49, U.P) -
Gov. Frank F.. Merriam renewed his
bid for Democratic votes by pledg.
ing in broadcast speech last night
CALIFORNIA; hearty cooperation"
with the national administration.
While Upton Sinclair, his Demo
cratic opponent, was deploring an
allegedly hostile $10,000000 cam
paign slush fund, Merriam offered
assurance that the poor would be
fed and clothed if he is elected
next month.
Because of the matchless facili-
ties at its command" Merriam said
"the federal government has pro
perly assumed leadership in this
vast undertaking, and while all of
the objectiveS sought have not as
yet been obtained, not all of the
plans have proved successful, the
work goes forward. 1t will succeed.
am happy to say that Cali
fornia has received in full measure
the intelligent and sympathetic aid
Of the National Relief Administra,
ton. California has given and will
continue to give hearty cooperation
to the President and his admins
tration."
Sinclair accused his opponents of
drawing on a $10,000,000 campaign
fund to misrepresent him and thus
divert the minds OF the people
from the real issue, their poverty" "
They tell you that our Epic
plan will bankrupt the state of Cali
fornia, but tell you it is Merriam
and his merry men that are bank
rupting the state" the Democratic
nominee said. "They are piling up a
deficit which will be more than a
hundred million dollars by the end
of this biennium.
And what are they going to do
about it? Not one word do they tell
you. They talk of vague generalitieS,
they promise you economy and hon
esty-miracleS which I have not
seen during my Is years in Califor-
MIA.
Sinclair branded as "idiocy" and
lies campaign rumors that his
election would inspire flight of
business from the state.
"All that is just idiocy, the state
campaign lies with which they
frightened the people away back
in the days of my youth when Will
liam Jennings Bryan was running
for the presidency" he said. I'VE are
not going to ruin anybody, we are
not gCing to harm anybody"
Although not referring to him by
name, Merriam attacked Sinclair as
"demagogue and self-Seeker," who
attempts Ito exploit the sufferings
and the hardships of a people.
Such eXpedients, despicable in
themselves, breed deeper discomfort
and lead to even greater distress, "
tn govrnor said.

aid, and at the same time assured
business that relief expenditures
must not jeopardize "the good ere

He viewed the new Roanoke hos

policy that the government is seek
ing to give aid not only to veterans
but also to hundreds of thousands
OF other citizens-men and women
and children who, handicapped by
environment or by circumstance,
lack today what reasonable people
call the essentials of modern civili-
Zation."
The President reminded veterans
that thousands of ''underprivileged'
lacked the hospital facilities that
veterans have.
One cause of the depression, he
said, was the existence of forgot
ten people" whom the government
had failed to help on a national
scale.
TT must remain our constant OBJ

depression and the drags on pros
