EN- ROUTE WITH PRESIDENT
ROOSEVELT, Nov. 4.-President
Roosevelt today headed into New
England on the third and last swing
of his fourth-term campaign, with
indications that he would toss few
barbs in the direction of business
critics.
Bound for Boston, he will de-
liver his seventh major speech of
the campaign at Q O'Clock tonight
in Fenway Park.
Commenting on his Hartford
plans yesterday the President told
his news conference that he might
be inspired by the insurance build
ings surrounding the Park to say
something about insurance policies.
They are good just as they were
four years ago and eight years ago.
the President continued, but the cry
still is being raised that they will
not be if he is reelected.
This line of attack has been
carried on in previous years. notably
in 1910 by an organization known as

Life Insurance and Savings.
Boston Speech Rated High.
The speech at Boston tonight
must be rated as among the most
important the President has de-
livered since his campaign started
late in September. His political ad-
visers chose the Massachusetts,
metropolis for the wind-up over an
other mid-western trip. when the
President said he could not visit
both sections. Massachusetts, has Is
electoral votes, and is conceded to
be debatable territory. Mr. Roose-
welt carried it over Mr.. Willkie four
years ago by a majority of 1000
votes, in a total of more than 2,000,-
600 cast. The speech will be carried
over NBC, CHS and Blue Network.
The President is going into Boston
with one sore spot of recent origin
seemingly cleared up. Senator
Walsh, Democrat, of Massachusetts,,
