CLEVELAND, Oct. 21 W Newton
D. Baker, stepping into the presi
dential campaign for the first time
last night with an address supporting
Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, de
nounced the Republican policies of
the last 12 years.
"I want a change," the former sec
retary of war said. "And I don't
think It Ib possible for any Repub
lican administration to .make the
changes necessary before, this coun
try gets Btarted right again."
Baker's general theme was that the
United Stutes present economic situa
tion was a direct result of a Re
publican policy or American Isolation
from world affairs.

"The president of the United
States, when he was here Saturday,
Indulged In some sarcasm," Baker
said. "Ho said the Democrats had
not learned there was a world war in
which 40.000.000 people died directly
or Indirectly and 300 billions of prop

WASHINGTON, Oct. 21 UP) The
overshadowing stature of the coun
try's economic plight how it come
about and how good times can be
fully restored looms larger and larger
over tne political scene as the cam
paign attains the full fury of Its con
cluding weeks.
This Is one Instance in, which an
issue accepted as paramount by both
sides in the very beginning, actually
oecamje paramount in tne more ma
ture utterances of later weeks, and
promises to bo continue until the
end.
To the economic Issue, with, Its
many ramifications, Mr. Hoover and
Mr. Roosevelt now are devoting al
most exclusive attention; Only a very
small percentage of any of their
speeches takes notice of anything
else.
All Linked Together
When they or their principal fol
lowers have mentioned the tariff, they
have talked of farm relief, of labor,
depression or recovery. When they
have talked of farm rleief, or labor,
or the budget, or currency or the
spldler bonus, or even prohibition,
they have put all of these things
against the background of the one
central question of economic restora
tion, i
This theme has been the burden
of Mr. Roosevelt's speeches on his
present mid-western and southern
swing. He 'spoke of beer as a revenue
source. He repeated bis previous
statement on the bonus during a
discussion of budget balancing.

respect to the depression will be the
burden of Mr. Hoover's speech tomor

of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde, who

the board of trade's plans.
Restrictions on trading In grain fu

open trades of 600,000 bushels of
wheat, corn and outs, and 300,000
