BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10 G.N.S)
Carrying a fighting campaign
against President Roosevelt
through the pivotal States of the
Midwest, Governor Alfred M. Ian,
don today boldly charged the Ad'
ministration with attempting to
buy the election through the use
Of public funds.
In a breakfast speech here to
wildly cheering Republicans. the
Republican nominee said:
1--WE are opposed by the most
powerful machine ever assembled
on American soil. 1t is financed
in a large part out of the public
treasury. This means our money
is paying for it.
at is alIOcating public funds
up and down the country on the
eve Of the election for the Obvi-
Gus purpose Of attempting to
sway the electorate. 1t is en-
deavoring to coerce thousands
Of voters by threatening those
on relief with restitution unless
they vote right. 1t Is trying to
poison the mind Of the public
with a campaign Of vicious mis-
representation"
CAN BEAT NEW DEAL
But undismayed by the pros
poets, Landon in fighting tones
declared:
"Can this New Deal machine,
which under the cloak of ideal
ism has operated on the old
spoils system, be beaten? say
it can"
This militant speech came on
the heels of a devastating attack
on Roosevelt spending policies at
Chicago. There, the Republican
nominee told a wildly enthusiastic
audience of $4,000 with 10000 as,
sembled outside-that he would
balance the Federal budget, II
elected President, without curtail'
ing relief to the need or benefits
to farmers, simply by slaShing the
waste and extravaganza OF the
Roosevelt Administration.
Three Big Reasons
Amid tumultuous applause, Ian
don took out of President RooSe'
velt's own mouth three powerful
reasons for balancing the budget.
He quoted the President in his
Pittsburgh speech of the 1882 cam
paign as giving these reasons for
q balanced budget:
81. E. Upon the financial sta
bility of the Unitel States Gov
eminent depends the stability
of trade and employment, and
of the entire banking, saving
and insurance systems Of the
country.
"2. If the nation, like spend
thrift throws discretion to the
winds, it is on the road to bank
ruptcy.
"S. Taxes are paid in the
sweat of every man who labOrS,
because they are a burden on
production and if excessive, they
are reflected in idle factories,
tax-SOld farms and in hOrdeS Of
the hungry tramping the streets
and seeking jobs in vain"
The crowd wildly applauded Ian
don as he enunciated the first OF
three Roosevelt reasons.
Crowd Voices "BOos"
It appeared shocked when the
Republican nominee blandly an
nounced he was repeating the
words of candidate Roosevelt in
1882. 1t caught on promptly, how.
ever, and "booed" heartily as Ian
don repeated Roosevelt's two other
reasons. In good craftsmanship
Landon raised his right hand and
shook his head negatively in a vain
effort to halt the booing.
When he went on to turn to
the record" he charged Roosevelt
with increasing expenditures, with
increasing taxes and with increas-
ing deficits instead of meeting his
pledges of the 1882 campaign. He
pointed out the President had an
nually promised a balanced bud
get and mo new taxes" in each
of the four years of his admin
istration, only to let the budget
go unbalanced while tanning
IA new tax bills through Con-
greSs."
Cites Broken Pledges
Time and again, Landon jibed
the American people. Once to
Roosevelt for breaking pledges to
uproariouS laughter, he shouted
that not even Jesse Owens. the
worlds fastest human" could
"overtake the expenditures" of
the Roosevelt administration.
And, in conclusion, Landon para.
phraSed Roosevelt's Pittsburgh
speech of two weeks ago, in refer
ence to baseball game, saying:
"The American people know
that it is more than a game
that our very existence depends
upon keeping our financial house
in order. But if the Administra-
