Knox and Gov. Harry W. Nice,

a tent in back of the speakers

performers entertaining tn e
crowd. The rain drenched the
crowd which ran for thousands. of
autos nearby.
Others on the speakers plat
form gathered under hastily i'm
provised shelters.
Knox drastically altered his
speech from it's prepared text. He
paid a special tribute to Gov. Har-

was a critic .of some of the New

not mention either President

isolated cry of "Boo" from the

Knox spoke to the convention

scheduled 70 speeches in which he

FARLEY CHARGES REPUBLICANS
SEEKING TO HIDE SOLE ISSUE
eusys Question, He Says Is
What Administration
Best Serves People

NEW YORK, Aug. 20. (UP)-
James A. Farley, Democratic ma
tional chairman, last night charg-
ed Republicans with attempting
to cover up "the only issue of
the campaign-Whether the best
interests of the country can be
better served by continuing in
power the present administration,
or by substituting another"
"The minority party campaign
has simmered down to two issues
both of them counterfeit and
both of them insincere," Farley
said. Governor Landon's support
ers are attempting to alarm the
consuming public, particularly
with a wild story regarding the
prices of food, and to scare the
country by prophesying all sorts
of dire happenings that are to re-
suit if the present administration
continues.
"The campaign of the Republi-
can party is entirely negative. 1t
consists of nothing more than an
effort to break down the faith of
the people in the Roosevelt ad-
ministration by a constant bar
rage of scare propaganda. The
G. O. P. is vainly hoping that
enough voters can be frightened
to secure the success of their tick
ct. They underestimate the intel
ligence of the American voters"
Farley, speaking on a national
radio hook-up, directed his speech
to Michigan Democrats at BAN
quets in Detroit and over that
state.
Farley did not blame Landon
for the "sins" of the Republican
campaigners, but blamed his back
ers and supporters. This Is what
he said in part:
81 am aware of the fact that
while Governor Landon is main
tanning a policy of strict silence
on campaign issues, his running
mate, Colonel Frank Knox, is gal
Looping about the country warning
the people that they are in peril,
Almost nightly he thunders forth
a denunciation of the Roosevelt
farm relief program and other
policies to which Governor Lam
don has given his hearty appro-
val.
"The country need not be
alarmed at Colonel Knox. he nau

American people when he took MS
