WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
(UP) - President Roosevelt
put into motion today two
plans for strengthening ma

The moves were made a few
hours after the President had con-
ferred with Secretary of State Cor

ments in the European crisis.
The navy department announced
that it is forming Immediately a
Temporary" squadron of the U. S.
fleet for duty on the Atlantic coast
simultaneously, Mr.. Roosevelt
asked special committee, headed
by Assistant Secretary of War Louis
j. Johnson, to devise a plan within
60 days for industrial mobilization
of electric power to link Is of the

Good Liberal
President Discusses His
POlitics--Renews
Pension Criticism

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2.
| (UP)-President Roosevelt,
departing from ordinary
White House custom, today
authorized direct quotation
of his view that elf there is a good
liberal running on the Republican
ticket / would not have the slight
est objection to his election"
Mr.. Roosevelt made the declara-
ton in a 20 minute discussion OF
politics at his Friday press confer
ence.
The full content of his authorized
quotation was:
"If there is a good liberal run
ming on the Republican ticket l
would not have the slightest objec-
ton to his election. The good OF
the country rises above party"
Mr.. Roosevelt was asked whether
he believed a liberal Republican
senator would vote more in the
| interests of the country than a
conservative Democrat. He replied
that he thought SO but that it
would depend what was in the SEN
ator's heart.
Questioning swung to California
where this week Sen. William G..
McAdoo was defeated for Demo-
cratic denomination by Sheridan
Downey, sponsor of a $50 week
pension plan for persons over so.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that there
was no question in his mind as to
the liberalism of both Downey and
Culbert Olson, Democratic guber-
material nominee.
Mr.. Rooseeltv reiterated much of
what he said at Hyde Park, N. Y,
last week concerning the $50 plan
which he said he felt was financial
ly unsound. He pointed out, how
ever, that it was state plan and
there was no reason why the fed
eral government should object to
the plan if it was adopted by a
state, provided it did not violate
the federal constitution in regard
to the issuance of currency.

The incumbent Republican gov
ernor, Frank F.. Merriam was re-
nominated by his party but Ray
mond Haight, third man in the Up

years ago, held a stout lead in the
Progressive vote.
On returns from 1904 precincts
Haight had 4,589 votes to 2,919 fol-
