In a final series of speeches

was expected to summarize his
own claims for reelection and
hammer with last-minute vigor at
what he believes to be fallacies
in the Republican platform and
the promises of his opposition
ticket.
Before the week is out, 1t was
predicted, Mr.. Roosevelt particu-
larly would assail what he terms

weeks the Democrats have been
railing at certain employers, "
who, they claim, have been at

speeches.

AUSTIN, Tex, February 1.-Gov.
James v. Alfred. addressing the State
Democratic Executive Committee, to-

Kansas as man who had sought to
place the oil industry under dicta-
torship when Texas was fighting for
State regulation.
Alfred said Gov. Landon was a
successful oil man land perhaps
good Governor, for a Republican, but
as President I think he would still
make a successful oil man." He as
serted Landon was condemning the
President for the things he praised
him for during those dark hours Of
March, 1888"
At a conference Of Governors OF
oil-producing States in Washington
in 1888, Alfred said. Landon de-
scribed an interstate oil regulation
compact as IAN irridescent dream"
and not only advocated dictatorship
of the oil industry, but "intimated all
other lines of industry and finance
must be ruled by dictators."
IF there is any word more repul-
sive or anything more tyrannical in
the minds of American people than
a dictator of anything, don't know
it, he said.
