Election campaigns resemble
football contests in tactics and
outcome.
The campaign has now entered
the fourth quarter. All this side
contests: state, county, city
matches, are being swallowed up
in the concentrated Interest shown
in the national battle: Hoover
against Roosevelt.
While that big game has seen
the Roosevelt forces carrying the
ball the majority of the time and
the republicans playing defensive-
ly. the tide of battle has definite
ly turned and the only question
remaining is whether the Hoover
offensive can score in the 22 days
remaining.
For there is no question that
Roosevelt and his followers have
used every play in their repertoire
and have scored all their possible
points.
Hoover is Making
Big Yardage Now
Hoover made yardage heavy
yardage when he took the ball
at Des Moines and plowed right
through the heavy "line" his op
ponents had been nsing. The
crowds roared approval for the
world loves a fighter. "Al" Smith
who had sat sulking on the dem
ocratic bench, was rushed into the
fray, and made a newspaper peace
with the substitute quarter who
had been calling signals. Speaker
Garner whom the democrats had
benched because he so often fum
bled the ball was trotted out on
the sidelines to utter raucous cries
to try to embarrass the Hoover
side.
Meanwhile as the third quarter
ended democrat coaches told the
boys and the fans that the game
was all over and prepared for a
bang-up fourth quarter which
they eared would see a Hoover
comeback and victory. The dem
ocratic press chimed in, and hav
ing added up the score before the
gam was over, told the referees
the show might as well be called
Iff; they knew they had won
isfore the last quarter was played.
:
No candid person cab deny that
the Hoover campaign is gaining
strength steadily in Oregon. The
' Roosevelt swing around the west
ern end of the country showed the
candidate covering a lot of terri
tory but making little yardage.
People were interested to hear
him bark signals but did not see
much potency in the plays he pro
posed.
Old Guard Still
Has Scoring Punch
Now that Hoover has the ball
and Is ripping the democratic line
to shreds, some of the band-wag
on spectators who thought the
Roosevelt forces unbeatable- ad
mit the Old Guard is far stronger
than they thought and the cam
patgn is anyone's to date.
For example, the razzle-dazzle
tariff play of the democrats look'
ed mighty weak. Roosevelt start
ed out by handing the ball to the
"competitive tariff side but the
right and left halves in states like
Washington and Idaho, Arizona
and Iowa, made a howl and
Roosevelt snatched the ball back
and passed it to them insisting
that his tariff play must, do notft
ing to them. " f
Then Roosevelt was told by the
. Bonus fullbaek that he absolutely
must civs him a chance to shine.
Roosevelt is still debating that ta-
- sue. Meanwhile Hoover In this
respect as in the tariff fight has
failed his signals plainly and any
one on the republican team knows
exactly how he proposes tosplay
the game.
Spectators Decide
To Boot for Hoover
All manner of spectators are
turning to Hoover as a strong,
honest, definite leader. They feel
If Hoover wins this game, . the
team's comeback is assured but if

with a sharp retort from District
Attorney John H. Carson that Mc
Mahan is "utterly irresponsible".
"McMahan cannot laugh this
matter off so far as decent people
are concerned," Carson declared.
"In this Instance as in many
others, he abused the high office

in order to do a malicious injury

Authority Quoted
CLEVELAND, Oct. 15.-r-(Al .
Asserting directly that demo
cratic statements as to the origin
of the depression "can be proved
absolutely u n t r u e," President
Hoover asked for a comparison of
the two major parties based upon
"actual performance not upon
promises."
Standing in the same edifice in
which Calvin Coolidge was nomin
ated in 1924, the president time
after time launched out directly
at statements he attributed to "the
democratic candidate. Franklin D.
Roosevelt. j
Then, turning to his own per
sonal. record, he described as "cal
umny" a statement from a "copy
of instructions Issued by the demo
cratic national committee" to its
speakers. He said the statement
Implied he had "engaged in the
slaughter of human beings"
through contracting eheap Chi
nese labor in his early engineering
days. He denied having employed
such labor in the South African
mines.
"I happen to have in the files
in Washington, from the man who
first penned those lies," he said.,
"a statement under oath, humbly
and abjectly withdrawing them.
Would Ignore Except
For Source of Story
"Such contemptible statements
In a" political campaign would be
Ignored were It hot that they were
Issued' by the authority of the
democratic national committee,
and they would be of no" interest
to the American people except
that It Is proposed that a politi
cal party shall be placed in power
over one hundred and twenty mil
lions of people on the basis of
votes secured in this manner."
At the outset, the president said
his address would be devoted
largely to employment and wage
questions. He outlined in detail 12
policies and measures which he
described as the record of his ad
ministration on this score.
But before reaching this section
of his speech, he turned directly
to a discussion of causes of world
economic strain.
"Our opponents," he began,
"have been going up and down
the land repeating the statement
that the sole or msjor origins of
this disruption and this world
wide hurricane came from the
United States through the wild
flotation of securities and the
stock market speculation in New
York three years ago together
with the passage of the Smoot
Hawley tariff, which took place
nine months after the storm broke.

government leaders did not fore
see the approach of the disinte
grating forces.
"No one ein foresee the com
ing of fear or panic," he assert
ed. "I did not . notice any demo
cratic Jeremiahs."
Contending the thesis of the
opposition as to the origin of our
troubles is a wonderful explana
tion for political purposes, Mr.
Hoover repeated several times
that the leaders of the democra
tic party "appear to be entirely
