PREPARES MORE SPEECHES

WASHINGTON, Oct 24.-AS an old campaigner who loves a good fight" President Roosevelt swung into the last stages of his re-elec- tion drive with t this declaration that he gives his most solemn as iurance' that America has no se- cret pacts with any nation, and that he is for peace and shall la bcr for peace for all the days of my life :"
 The President came back to the Capital City to draft more speech es after tabulating for cheering crowd in Philadelphia last night what he termed more fantastic nsstatements of this campaign made by the Republicans.
 The President said the Repub- licans again and again repeated falsehoods" and the opposition im- piled that certain techniques of propaganda" that has been created and developed in Dictator countries were being imported in this Ma tion."
 Not once during his address last night, which was carried by all brcadcasting systems, did the Presi- dent mention the name of Willkie but among outrageous and un- pardonable' Notifications he said that nartisans and Republican lead- CTS were making were charges that this Administration wishes to lead this country into war, that it had failed to make job for even a sin gle man and the industrial system was pro strate and business was stifled and unable to make profit.

 The President said also that charges that his Administration has not aided private employment IS false. He declared that American business is better than in 1882 ana on a sounder footing, and that the national income has nearly doubled since 1882
 It is agreed by leaders of both parties that the speech is one of the most remarkable of the present campaign and Democrats especially said the statements have knocked the props out from the chief issues the Republicans have so far taken in the present campaign.

ing and to improve the conditions

Congressman Would Kill

WASHINGTON, D. CLAMP
Disagreeing with certain of the
articles enumerated in the coming
census which is to begin April /,
congressman are making an at
tempt to eliminate obnoxious
points which have to do with in
come and personal questions con-
cerning the person interviewed
Declaring this is entirely unnec-
essary and n-American in princi-
pie, they are planning a bill in
congress to kill off such questions,
which as one official is reported to
have said, Whats the difference,
the d. fools don't know what il
is all about"
However, the presidents procla-
nation says: 1.-THE sole purpose
Of the census is to secure general
statistical information regarding
the population, business activities
and resources of the country, and
replies are required from individ
uals only to enable the compila-
tipn of such general statistics.
No person can be harmed in any
way by furnishing the information
required The census has nothing
to do with taxation, with military
or jury service, with the compul-
sion of school attendance, with
the regulation of immigration, OF
with the enforcement of any ma
tional state or local law or ordi-
nance. There need be no fear that
any disclosure will be made re-
garding any individual person OF
his affairs.
For the due protection of the
rights and interests of the per-
sons furnishing information, every
er1ploye of the census bureau is
prohibited under heavy penalty,
from disclosing any information

Senator Henry F. Ashurst, OF

ised that as soon as the sub-ccm-
mittee has made it's report to the
full committee the bill will be re-
ported out tc the Senate. Senator

A STATES RIGHTS" CASE

No one claims the participated in the
murder Not even the mob members contended that.
Their only crime being related to the men sus-
pected of the crime. And for this they were to
be sacrificed at the altar of mob justice.
The women after being rescued were spirited
away to another Jail and still being held on
hitherto underlined charges. The who formed
the mob in the attempted lynching, most of whom
are we'll known to local authorities still at large
and unmolested
No effort has been made to bring them to JUS
tce for their vile deed and none will likely be
made as long as the "states rights" argument can
be twisted by Southern police officials to mean the
right to lynch.
If these Southern politicians were truly sincere
in their arguments at Washington that local auhori-
ties cope with the lynch evil, better oppor-
tunity for them to demonstrate the truth OF
their contentious is offered than when these en-
barrassing incidents arise.
