Johnson of the co- operative division, federal resettle- ment administration, Welford said Crum had called a meeting at Mandan Wednesday in connection with the move to urge his withdrawal in fayor of John Moses, and asserted there is “no foundation for the ob- servation that my supporters are pare ticlpating in the move.” Johnson declined to comment on the governor's statement, while Crum “From over the state, reports have been brought to me that C, L. Crum and O. E. Johnson have called on citizens in an attempted political maneuver,” Welford said in his state- ment. Mr. Crum was and is a close political associate of Ole H. Olson.

That F. D. R. Tell What Amendments to Con- stitution He Plans Detroit, Oct. 14—()—Henry Ford formally declared his support for Gov. Alf M. Landon Wednesday as the Republican presidential nominee pure sued @ cross-state campaign for Mich< igan’s 19 electoral votes. “I admire and believe in him! I hope he is elected,” the motor car manufacturer said in a statement after conferring with the Kansas gov- ernor. “I am not criticizing the New Deal,” Ford continued. “I am only saying that we have had enough of it, we have had about all the country can stand.” The veteran industrialist, who talk- ed with Landon together with his son. Easel, stated his position for the first time just before Landon headed his campaign forces toward Grand Rap- ids. The candidate said the New Deal Was a “threat” to “our American form of government” in an address Tues- day night before thousands massed in the chill wind-swept American league baseball park. Raps Concentration of Power Concentration of power in the hands of President Roosevelt, Landon said in the third major address of his lake- states campaign, represented the “first step” toward destruction of the “rights and liberties of the people” which would make the executive “all Powerful.” Promising, if elected, to ask re- peal of all laws “giving autocratic Powers to the chief executive,” Landon called upon his Democratic opponent to “tell us before election day just what amendments to the constitution he has in mind.” Landon’s reference to Mr. Roosevelt ‘was, hoved: before he could continues: “By his silence on this, tempting to dodge the fundamental desue of this campaign—the issue of whether he intends to change the form of government—whether labor, vo “It is the first duty of government to protect us... from the abuses of concentrated power... If the federal government does not have the author- ity ... I shall favor congress going to the people openly and ask for such Powers through a constitutional amendment. The people must be given full opportunity to debate the issues involved before they take the momentous step of changing the charter of their freedom.” Ford pictured Landon as “a busi- ness man who knows how to make both ends meet,” and who “ate out of ee eae bucket for years and still ng with the men who carry apes buckets.” 4 gained three very distinct im- pressions of him,” the tall, thin auto- Mobile magnate said. “First, he is exceptionally well informed and has experience along many lines; second, he is able to speak his mind in the frankest possible way—he is open and honest in his 3 he knows where he stands because he has thought things through.” Flays F.
