I
 to our American system" | New Deal Beaten
 Governor Landon repeated his as- sertion of yesterday that the New Deal organization can-and will be beaten.
 He said:
 we face today one of the great decisions of American history. It is no routine election. It is not a discussion about empty phrases. We have a question to answer as vital as any that has presented itself since the Civil war. do not mean to seem an alarmist, but the result of this election will determine what sort of a nation we are to hand down to our children"
 In Chicago last night Governor Landon directed his most bitter at- tack of the campaign to date upon the new deal administration. In Q sweeping indictment of the admin istration's fiscal policies, including the charge of keeping two sets of books" he arraigned the appalling situation" created by administration nnanclal measures.
 "Let me make my position abso- lutely clear" the Kansan shouted. "If I am elected the budget is go- ing to be balanced. It is going to be balanced, not by depriving our needy of relief; not by refusing nec- essary aid to our farmers; not by swamping the country with taxes.
 "The budget is going to be bal- anced by cutting out waste and ex- travagance; by putting an end to the use of public funds for political purposes; by restoring hard-work- ing, painstaking, common-sense ad- ministration."
 Quotes F. D. R.
 Governor Landon quoted directly and frequently from President Roosevelt's speech in 1882 at Pitts burgh, saying that at that time Candidate Roosevelt" said that If the nation continues to pile up deficit upon deficit it is on the road to bankruptcy" that taxes are paid in the sweat of every man who la bors," and that T (Roosevelt) re- gard the reduction of federal spend ing as one of the most important issues in this campaign"
 "Now," said Governor Landon, "let us turn to the record"
 -Four years ago the federal gov- ernment spent just over five billion dollars. Last year it spent just rIn- der nine billion dollars.
 -Four years ago the gross federal debt was q billion dollars today 1t is 34 billion dollars. These are the facts. Instead of decrease we have had an enormous increase all along the line-an increase in spending, an increase in taxes, an increase in debt-all of which, as every house. wife knows, have increased the cost of living"
 The republican nominee pointed out that successively from 1883 through January, 1886, and as re- gently as the presidents Pittsburgh speech two weeks ago, the admins tration promised that the budget would be balanced. Instead, he de- clared, IA tax bills have been jam med through congress" Pledge Unredeemed
 The Kansas governor charged that despite expenditures of three and half billions a year." the ad- ministration "has not redeemed its pledge to give every man on relief 8 job"
 "A lot of the money spent in the name of relief has nothing to do with relief," he charged land a lot of the money has been wasted.
 "If I am elected there will be an end to this spending of relief funds for other purposes. There will be no more wholesale waste and extrava- gance."
