Charles E. Coughlin, Detroit radio priest, told an audience at the state fair grounds here Sunday that the “Republican and Democratic parties have sham-battled their way to de- pression after depression at your ex- pense.” He had his listeners, eétimated at close to 40,000, repeat an oath to work and vote for William Lemke, Umon party candidate for president. Rev. Coughlin spoke before a stale meet- ing of the National Union for Social Justice. Attacking the “money changers in the temple,” the priest urged abolish- ment of what he called “the private issuance and control of money” and said that*control should be vested in Father Coughlin’said that the bank- ers “were driven out of the temple” but he added that “they landed in the White House; your government has degenerated into a hock shop collector for the bankers.” Heads for St. Louis Father Coughlin left here Sunday night for St, Louis, where he will speak Tuesday night. The Rev. Coughlin said that he turned against the New Deal when he “saw there was little hope of try- ing to correct a man who saddled on his doorstep the crackpots which sur- round him.” He recalled his phrase of 1932, “Roosevelt or ruin” adding: “I was sure of one or the other—and I got one.” “I would rather take my chances with Norman Thomas and his Social- ists than with the Democratic party .| today,” he continued, “because Nor- dent. : Jack Woodard was elected to the post of past worthy president, and Lyle F. ¥ named secretary.

Alf M. Landon said Monday that “the question of crop insurance should be given the fullest attention.” The Republican presidential candi- date took this position in a two- paragraph statement which he said was in excerpt from Tuesday's Des Moines farm speech.

Tt follows: “I am going to mention a subject that is in neither platform—crop in* surance, It is a question in which we have long been interested in Kan- sas. In fact, some of our Republican leaders in farm legislation have been in the forefront in working on it. _ “We realize that there are difficul- ties; but insurance are writing policies today risks that they didn’t consider feasible a years ago.

The Des Moines speech will be the Republican nominee's first detailed discussion of farm problems, although he has stated he favored some form of benefit payments and has criti- cized “the loss of markets, both at home and abroad,” calling for “a far more aggressive” federal-state con- servation program.
