MAP NATIONAL
TOWNSEND PLAN
Founder Says 80 Per Cent
of Voters Will Back
0Id-Age Pension.

By Times Special
CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Certain that
their old-age pension plan is the
sole and only hope of a confused
and distracted nation" more than
5000 delegates to the Townsend
convention today settled down tc
the debate which is to determine
their national policy.
Officials predicted that the fire.
works of the convention, if any are
to develop, may be expected to-
night.
DR.. F. E. Townsend, climaxing a
hectic session yesterday; left nc
doubt in the minds of his follow
ers of his plans for the strenuous
campaign which has been mapped
out for the next six months.
He was seconded strongly by R. E
Clements, co-founder of the Town
send movement and national Sec
rotary of the organization.
In % short months we have car
ried our resolve to have economic
security into every city and village
and farm throughout the land We
have become an avalanche of politi-
cal power that no derision, no ridi-
cule, no conspiracy of silence car
STEM" he said.
I'VE court no assistance from any
organized group of politicians, we
ask no favors from organized capt.
tai. We are a movement of the peo-
pie, for the people and by the peo-
pie"
The lean doctor, unknown outside
his native state until little more
than year ago, predicted that at
the end of the next six months &c
per cent of the voting strength OF
the nation would be behind the
Townsend plan.
With the plan once in effect, he
claimed, it will prove so successful
that not only will the aged be carec
for, but the excess funds will more
than pay off the national debt.
