toned Gov. Dewey by name in his
attacks on his rival for the White

as "the Republican candidate"
Mr.. Truman has not been SO re-
ticent, however, in regard to Mr..

Given Uproarous Greeting.
Mr.. Truman moved into New York
at midnight after a seven-hour stay
in the metropolitan New Jersey area
yesterday afternoon and last night,
when he was greeted uproariouSly in
Elizabeth, Newark and Jersey City.
The wind-up came in Jersey City,
where the candidate paid tribute
to my good friend Frank Hague"
who took a walk" on Mr. Truman
before the Democratic national con-
vention-then retraced his steps.
The New Jersey boss, who is vice
chairman of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, recanted-but
good-last night, when the Presi-
dent came into his balwick for a
speech, turning out a crowd in
typical Hague style, and putting on
a huge fireworks display to mark
both Mr.. Truman's arrival and de-
parture.
For the Presidents speech, how
ever, Mr.. Hague brought him to
Lincoln High School auditorium,
which can handle only about 1900
persons. Thousands more listened
over loud-speakers in adjoining
streets.
Has Warm Audience.
According to reports, Mr.. Hague
wasn't discussing reasons for not
getting larger forum.
The President had warm audi
ence, however, and it was in ex-
pressing his appreciation for the
reception that he gave the Jersey
boss the pat of friendship. Mr..
Hague sat next to the President on
the platform.
The Presidents speech was the
same pattern he has followed on
his four-day trip which also took
in Delaware and Pennsylvania with
prices, labor and housing getting
the main play.
In a section wnere organized
labor Is factor to be reckoned
with, the President reverted to his
favorite argument "a comparison
between the Democratic and Re-
publican labor records: Democrats
Wagner Act; Republicans-Taft.
Hartley Act.
Expects to Get More Advice.
Some people have complained
that the Democratic Party has paie
too much attention to the thing.
that labor wanted" The Presiden
said Now I am going to confess
to you that have got a lot O
advice from labor leaders, and mos
Of it has been good advice. The,
have the welfare Of the country a
heart just as much as anybody
and I expect to keep on gettin,
advice for the next four years"
Iio President also tied the vel
fare of farmer and worker togethe
as he talked about the false pros
perity' of the '20s and said it crum
bled because the workers alon,
the farms were getting the littl
end of the stick"
