Scouts Idea of Tour.
Following the Lawrence announce
ment, Mr.. Roosevelt told his news
conference that there would be other
speeches, but he again brushed aside
the idea of countrywide tour.
While the President had said
earlier in the week that the ques-
ton OF his making some speeches in
his fourth-term drive was being dis
ouSsed, yesterday was the first time
that he definitely had gone on record
as being ready to take to the road,
and observers were inclined to the
| belief that this year would see a
repetition of the campaign tactics
OF 1910, with Mr.. Roosevelt invading
several strategic voting centers in
the Eastern half of the country
Pennsylvania IS electoral votes
will be the stakes for which Mr..
Roosevelt will be contesting pri-
marily in the Philadelphia speech,
and while Mr.. Lawrence yesterday
expressed the conviction that the
President will carry the State this
year by a larger majority than the
28l, 900 votes advantage he held in
1910, the Republicans are also max
ing claims and forecasters rate the
commonwealth in the doubtful
category.
Other Sites Discussed.
Chicago and Boston have beer
discussed as other possible speaking
sites, but the President told his news
conference that he could not an.
nounce any plans beyond Phila.
delphia.
In determining to get out in the
country. the President has taken ar
effective means to deal with rumor.
that have been stirring about hi.
health.
He told his news conference YES
terday that he was in pretty good
health when reporter asked If he
had any comment on stories written
by Some Of the more rugged cor
respondents" on his physical condi-
tion.
Questions Writers' Health.
Parenthetically, the President said
he didn't want to start talking about
the word rugged" or he might say
something for which he'd be sorry
He knows more about some of the
writer's health than they do them
selves, he said.
AS the political air around the
White House thickened yesterday
with the election just three weeks
distant, there were DEVELOPMENTS
indicating that campaign state
ments made by Gov. Thomas E.
Dewey are coming in for prompt
attention whenever the Democrats
are able to charge that the Repub-
llcan presidential nominee has
twisted facts.
Following the pattern of last week,
When an analysis of Gov. Dewey S
Oklahoma City speech was issued
through the White House for the
obvious purpose Of showing that the
candidate had presented distorted
versions of administration speeches
and other documents to drive home
his arguments, two-page resume
giving his st. Louis speech the same
treatment was released yesterday.
Continuing the controversy over
the administrations demobilizatior
policy, the resume, in presenting
the facts" as compared to the
Dewey speech, quoted the text of q
report from the old National Re.
sources Council to deny the or.
ganization had advocated delayed
demobilization to avert a job prob
lem after the war.
Other Dewey charges were like
wise disputed, and Mr.. Early said he
thought the policy of keeping thi.
record up to date" would be con-
tinued.

Dewey's speech follows:
