LAST STRETCH
OF CAMPAIGN
Will Deliver Major
Speech Tonight
In Brooklyn

WASHINGTON, Oct. 30,
(UP)-Refreshed and conf
Il n t. President Roosevelt
takes to the road again this
afternoon to close his cam
paign in New York State. the fam
iliar home territory of his many
political battles.
He will deliver a major speech
tonight from the Academy of Mu-
sic in Brooklyn. Tomorrow night
he vii speak to a Democratic rally
in Madison Square Garden and
Monday night he will conclude his
campaign with a radio talk 10 the
nation from Hyde Park.
He made a half dozen speeches
in a two-day campaign in three
states in which he tore into critics
of the social security act, arraign-
ed Republican leaders for false
promises" and last night in Will
mington Del, the home city of the
Du Points, wound up a discourse
on liberty and Abraham Lincoln.
ut seems appropriate" he said
that on this occasion 1 should make
no political speech because I can
better describe the kind of liberty
which our administration has sought
and continues to seek by reading
TO you the simple words of great
president who believed in that kind
of liberty-the great president who
preserved the American Union.
"They are from the speech made
by President Lincoln at the Sani-
tarv Fair in Baltimore in 1864:
THE world has never had good

the American people, just now. are
much in want of one. We all de
clare for liberty; but in using the
same word we do not all mean the
same thing. With some the word
liberty may mean for each man to
do as he pleaseS with himself, and
the product of his labor; while with
others the same word may mean
for some men to do as they please
with other men. and the product of
other mems labor Here are two
not only different, but incompatible
things, called by the same name

parties, called by two different and
incompatible names - liberty and

Every Effort to
Block Action

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct.
30. (UP)-F. M. Kelley, sec
retary-treasurer of the Paci-
fic Coast Maritime Fedora
tion and head of the unions
joint negotiating committee, issued
the following formal statement in
connection with the strike:
"The strike was called due to the
arbitrary attitude of certain ship
owners who had refused to negoti-
ate with the maritime unions any
further.
every effort has been made by
the unions to avoid tieup of
shipping. as can be proved by rec
ords and also can be subStantiate
by the Department of Labor.
1.-The maritime unions have en-
tered the strike as one unit and so
they intend to remain until all just
demands of the unions concerned
are granted.

Reports said 60 new tanks and
20 new airplanes, the latter from

A 36-car freight train arrived
with large quantities of foodstuffs.
1t was understood loyalist planes
located and destroyed guns a few
kilometers from the AranjueZ-Val-

cannonading troops and supply

Likewise the loyalists eliminated
a rebel battery at Sesena, which
had been firing on the railroad.
Virtually normal passenger train
service had been established be-

DEMOS HANG ON TO LEAD AS
POST-PRESS STRAW VOTE ENDS

Democrats maintained the same
strength they have shown since
the beginning when the final tab
ulation of accumulative figures in
the Post-Press straw ballot was
completed Friday, three days before
election day.
For president, congress and state
senate, Democratic candidates held
a straw vote lead approaching two
to one for the first two offices, and
far greater than two-to-one for the
third.
Only in BraWley did President
Roosevelt lag behind Governor
Landon, while Democratic Congress
sional Candidate Ed V. lac was be-
hind Republican Ed P. Sample in
Brawley and in Supervisorlal Dis
trict No. 4, but ahead in all other
areas.
Edward H. Law, Democratic can
didate for state senator, was ahead
of his Republican opponent, w. S.
Dunn, in every division.
Totals gave Roosevelt 1116 straw
votes against 582 for Landon and
IS for Henry Lemke, Union party
candidate. 1zac was credited with
1006 votes as compared to sos for
Sample. Law totaled 1l58 against
458 for Dunn.
A last-minute Republican drive
for votes may cause a slight swing
to that side of the ticket, but Dem
ocratic preponderance is such that
only belated landslide can give
the Republicans victory, observers
believed.
