ROOSEVELT TALK
OPENS CAMPAIGN
President Due to Take
Offensive in Syracuse
Speech Tonight.
BY the Associated Press.

HYDE PARK, N. Y, September 2e
President Roosevelt stepped out to-
day to deliver what intimates termed
a "straight-from-th -the-shoulder" blow
at the opposition, officially opening
his bid for reelection.
His initial campaign speech, before
the Democratic State Convention at
Syracuse tonight at 9 o'clock, will be
broadcast over Nationwide radio
networks.
President Roosevelt left at HOP
am. Secretary Ickes accompanied
him. Mrs. Roosevelt was en- route by
regular train from New York City.
A group Of townspeople applauded
the President as he boarded his
train.
Il am not making q speech, you
know" he commented, standing be-
sides Ickes. A light, cold rain was
falling.
The Presidents special train was
equipped for the f1ve-hour trip with
campaign paraphernalia, including q
twin set Of loud speakers.
Originally described as covering
State questions, the first Roosevelt
post-convention speech to be given a
definite political label by the White
House was said by presidential asso-
ciates today to be of national sig
nificance.
May Answer Landon.
They asserted the President would
lay general foundation for later
specific talks on agriculture, finances
and relief, and probably have some
thing to say on several issues raised
by Gov. All M. Landon, Republican
candidate.
The President worked late last
night on his manuscript. He also
telegraphed Gov. Charles H. Martin
Of Oregon he had instructed all Fed
eral agencies to render whatever as
sistance possible in connection with
forest fires In that State.
A testimonial praising the New
Deals activities in behalf Of education
during the depression and pledging
support for his reelection was pre-
sented to the President by II educators
representing committee of the Good
Neighbor League.
In the delegation were five former
presidents Of the National Education
Association. Besides the IL, the names
of "a other educators were attached to

Roosevelt organization formed by
Stanley High.

py the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, September 29-John
d. M. Hamilton, Republican National
Committee chairman, said in q maga-
zine article made public last night
that II Gov. All M. Landon Is elected
President he will not make his CAM
paign manager the Postmaster Gen.
eral."
The article, reviewing the history
of the civil service and lauding the
Republican candidates post-platform
pledge to extend the merit system,
will be published in the Review Of Re-
views tomorrow.
1T is common knowledge that the
New Deal administration, under the
guiding hand of that master Of the
spoils system, James A. Farley, has
assaulted and ravished the civil serv-
ice at every contact with it," the
article said.
Hamilton recalled that Gov. Lam
don notified the convention he be-
lieved every position in the admins
tration service below the rank of as
sistant secretary of major depart
ments and agencies and the entire
Post Once Department should be in
cluded in the merit system.
Lest some one miss one portent Of
that pledge let me point out that
Gov. Landon will not make his cam
paign manager the Postmaster Gen.
eral" Hamilton wrote,
THE time -honored custom Of max
ing the chairman of the National
party committee the chief patronage
dispenser with seat in the cabinet
is about to be discarded"
Hamilton said that President Roose-
velt's executive order placing first,
second and third class postmasters
under civil service would be repealed
If Gov. LaEdon is elected.
with q decent respect for the prin-
ciples Of merit in government, those
places will be filled then on the basis
Of open competitive examinations, in
which politics will play no part,
Hamilton promised.
Further. Hamilton said. Gov. Lam
don would encourage State govern
ments to establish or strengthen the
merit principle.

TRIAL BOARD CONTINUES
OFFICERS GUNS PROBE
Prosecutor Hopes to Get Twins
Who Received Weapons to
Offer Testimony.

The Police Trial Board today granted
q continuance until October 20 in
the cases of two detective sergeants
charged with lending their service
guns to twin brothers, John F. and
Logan Wilton, who are awaiting grand
jury action.
Assistant Corporation Counsel Matt
Mahorner told the board the twins
refused to testify against A. D. Mans
field, attached to headquarters, and
Elmer L. Dalstrom, third precinct. He
added that If they are indicted they
will be forced to testify, although
Charles Ford. who represents the off,
GERS, disputed this.
The twins are charged with imper-
sonating an oficer and carrying con-
cealed weapons They were arrested

to the Philippines. on furlough, who
, was drafted by the Roosevelt high
command to run for Governor, Is
reputed to have a great following
among the colored voters, particularly
in Detroit. where most Of them are
located. There is the fact that busi-
ness in this State is distinctly better,
lead by the automotive industry. This
means more jobs, and the question is
will the workers give credit to the
New Deal for their jobs. These are
factors which may aid the Democrats.
On the other hand, there Is the
Father Coughlin-Lemke threat. De-
troit is the particular bailiwick Of
Father Coughlin, who has called Pres
ident Roosevelt, first, a liar" and
more recently "anti-God" Although
Coughlin says no kind words for Gov.
Landon, he is distinctly out to bring
about the defeat of President Roose-
welt. What the Coughlin strength
is in this State varies, depending on
whether you talk to Coughlin or to
Republicans and Democrats. The
priest Of the Shrine Of the Little
Flower confidently predicts that his
candidate, Representative Lemke Of
North Dakota, will carry Michigan in
the presidential race That is one
thing, however, which is not going
to happen. But Lemke may take
enough votes to affect materially the
contest between Roosevelt and Lam
don. His candidate for the Demo-
cratic senatorial nomination, Ward,
got 114,7s3 votes to 1896 for Rep
resentative Prentis Brown, and Ward
has demanded a recount of the vote,
which will soon begin. Furthermore,
in five congressional districts in
Wayne County, which includes De-
troit, Coughlin candidates for the
Democratic nomination for the House
ran second, and rolled up very sizable
votes. The Coughlin-Lemke combine
has some strength in the rural COM
munities, too, for the Farmers Union
In this State Is hot for Lemke.
Lemke Could Garry Weight.
If Lemke gets 100000 votes in the
State-and he may get even more
with the Coughlin backing-the ef-
feet may be decisive in the presi-
Dental election here. 1t is generally
supposed that he will get most Of
his votes from groups that otherwise
would be found voting for Roosevelt,
but not all.
There are o considerable number
of dissatisfied Democrats in Michi-
gan. First. there are the old line,
Jeffersonian Democrats. They have
just completed an organization and
are going into the fight to beat Roose-
welt If they can. Second, there are
the Democrats who resent the Roose-
welt dictation in the matter of the
selection of a Democratic guberna-
torial candidate. George e. Welsh
