Theadvisors claimed . victory for his policies in Minne- sota. They said that conservative democrats opposed to the with. drawal of the party candidates, had left his train after 6 conference determined to support the national ticket.
 The president spoke last night to b0,000 persons from the state house steps after . 26-mile motor tour St. Paul and Minneapolis during which he was cheered by thousands. Praises Treaty In St. Paul, capital of Minnesota. chief of the border states where the administrators trade treaty with Canada has been under attack by republicans, headed by Governor All M. Landon, MT. Roosevelt praised the treaty as of direct bene- nt to America in general and American agricultural producers in particular.
 ITO Canada, our neighbor on the north, the $24,000, ,000 of our in- creased exports during the first SIX months have included not only exports Of manufactured articles but also agricultural exports" he said. American industry and Amer. ican agriculture are both benefiting by increased general trade. The figures prove 1t, and our growing consumption and better farm prices prove it.
 Every American city dweller and farmer alike ought to fasten this home truth in his memory; when the nations of the world, in- cluding America, had jacked their tariffs to the highest point and enacted embargoes and imposed quotas - in those days farm prices throughout the world were at their lowest, and world trade had almost ceased to exist.
 U. S. Leader
 To-day, under the leadership of the United States, other nations of the world are coming to recognize that home truth. Back in 1882, although there was a tariff on wheat of 42 cents bushel, you all know that wheat which you pro- duced up here in the northwest was selling as low as 30 cents a bushel. There were no farm imports then to worry about; but low prices were plenty to worry about"
 He pointed to the recent agree ment between Great Britain, France and the United States that preceded the devaluation of the franc, as splendid progress" that had result ed in the lifting of many quotas and embargoes including those on important American agricultural exports products"
 MT. Roosevelt's major address from Omaha tonight was expected to deal with the agricultural situation and with the New Deals agricultural measures and plans, providing direct replies to Governor Landon's recent announcements on the same subject.
 His address ct Lincoln will be less formal and briefer. He will make numerous appearances in Nebraska and Iowa today from the rear plat form of his train.
