OF ‘DESERTING’ __ PARTY PRINCIPLES Claims New Deal Violated ‘Its Oath to Support, Uphold Constitution’ CITES DEMS LEAVING RANKS Makes Bid for Okiahoma’s Elec- toral Votes With Vigor- ous Denunciation Oklahoma City, Oct. 23—()—Gov. Alf M. Landon told Oklahomans Fri- day that the New Deal has “deserted” Democratic party principles and vio- lated “its oath to support and uphold the constitution.” “Real Democrats, I know,” the Re- ‘publican presidential nominee said, “will fight shoulder to shoulder with us in this battle to save our American form of government and our country.” The Kansan spoke in the coliseum after an introduction by William H. (Alfalfa Bill) Murray, former Demo- cratic governor of Oklahoma. Pausing here nearly four hours on his final trans-continental campaign trip, Landon said Murray, by intro- ducing the Republican candidate, was “severing political friendships” and opening himself “to political penal- ties.” Names Other Democrats “Only a threat to our form of gov- ernment itself could cause a man like Gov. Murray to take this step,” Lan- don said, naming John W. Davis, Al- fred E. Smith, Bainbridge Colby, Joseph Ely, James A. Reed and Lewis W. Douglas as other Democrats “who are putting their country above party name.” “Countless other Democrats feel as strongly as they do,” he continued. “They may have made no open break, but they will state their position em- phatically at the ballot boxes next month. Their feelings are strong, enough to make them rise ‘above the party name even though Jt means breaking political:habite “When they go to.the polls they not alone be protesting the sttempi made by this administration to change the fundamental principles of our American government. They. will be repecting a man who has this change without a mandate from either the citizens o: this country or his own party convention.” Says Attempt ‘Deliberate’ Landon said President Roosevelt had made a “deliberate attempt ... to break down the confidence of our people in the integrity and independ- ence of the supreme court.” “It is only natural,” he added, “that real Demecrats should join Republi- cans in the defense of state's ts— of home rule—against greatér cen- tralization of power in Washington. ‘The party of Jefferson has always been the jealous guardian of state's rights.” The nominee said “there is no prob- than “the growing farm tenancy prob- lem,” which he termed “one of the most serious long-time problems con- fronting the nation.” Contending the New Deal “made the tenancy problem worse through its large payments to big land owners,’ Landon said. Would Extend Sound Finance “It is our pledge to extend, within the limits of sound finance, adequate credit at reasonable rates to capable tenants and experienced farmers, for the purchase or refinancing of farm homes. Z “Protection of the family-type farm is the philosophy that runs like « thread through the Republican plat- form.” The Roosevelt administration, the governor continued, is “ worried” over the election and has! prope “turned to coercion” in using WPA funds “ruthlessly.” “But I know that American. voters cannot be bullied into voting for any party,” Landon said. “The Democrats of Minnesota were sold down the river. At the last minute their major state candidates: deserted the people who nominated them in an effort to swing votes to an extreme left-wing group.” a flag-draped parade route from the station to sr holel ina ervcioned car. 4-H Fair for Stark BISMARCK, NORTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1936 Associate in West Tough ‘Copper’ Has | |G-Men Hot on Trail of Weyer- Bullet-Proof Head Munyon said a motorist he stopped to question fired five shots at him.

White House officials also said the president probably would speak brief- ly from his Hyde Park, N. Y., home on election eve, Nov. 2, over a national radio hook-up, The Madison Square Garden ad- dress has been set down as a major speech. In addition, he plans at least one more somewhere in the east. While the president has not named the date and place of this appearance there was talk that it would be made in eastern Pennsylvania, probably Scranton, either en route to New York for the Statue of Liberty cele- FEDERAL APPROVAL Inauguration of Special Work Expected After Board's Meeting Next Week Approval of the child welfare pro- gram in North Dakota was received here Friday from the federal govern- ment by E.

Notification of allotment and cer- tification of payment for: the first quarter will be forwarded immediate- ly, she reported. Offictals of the state welfare board expected to inaugurate the program soon, probably after the next meeting of the board October 26 and 27. Increases Services The plan proposes to strengthen the services delegated to the children’s bureau, under the board of adminis- tration, and the state welfare board, Willson said, explaining that both administrative agencies have been given extensive powers over the care, protection of dependent, neglected ‘and delinquent children, “Because of limited resources, these agencies have not had a field staff to carry out the provisions of the law,” he asserted. ‘ Under the plan, which will be oper- ated under the child welfare division of the state department of public welfare, the board will: Coordinate the work of the chil- dren's bureau with the state welfare board by employing a supervisor to administer the duties of both agen- under ices in counties to be selected later to supplement services of the juvenile court commissioners, schools and lo- cal county welfare boards.

Mr. Roosevelt has two engagements before he goes to New York to parti- cipate in the Franco-American Statue of Liberty ceremonies in the harbor next Wednesday. Tonight he will address from the White House 18 dinners being held in various cities. They are known es the “Business Men's Dinners for Roosevelt.” Monday he will dedicate a new chemistry building at Howard Uni- versity here. Visited Three States which he artived back in the capital early Friday, Mr. Roosevelt motored nearly 300 miles and greeted shouting crowds in Rhode Island, Massachu- setts and Connecticut. Arriving two hours behind schedule in Stamford, Conn., Thursday night, after touring a dozen industrial towns ins the Connecticut and Naugatuck valleys, the president reboarded his special train and from the rear plat- form expressed thanks for a “very warm reception.” Then, as he had done in other towns, he smiled and added: “I am confident that the people are using intelligence in this election year, and I am not the keast bit afraid of the result.” The crush of people at the Stam- ford station was such that several children were knocked down. As at previous stops in the larger industrial towns, police were. unable to cope with scores who insisted on scooting between the moving official cars. Hopes Prosperity Permanent Just before reaching Stamford, the president declared at Norwalk that he was “happy that prosperity is return- ing—the kind we hope will be per- manent.” “We are thinking not only in terms of dollars but also in terms of human lives and security,” he said. A little earlier at Westport, where “boos” with “very wonderful day—wonderful because I have been made happy by seeing that conditions of life are so much better than they were four years ago when I came through Connecticut.” Davies Will Address N.LP.A.

Thursday, shortly after surgeons performed an emergency operation for a kidney atl- ment in an effort to save his life. Senator Couzens entered politics after seeing an original $2,500 invest- ment with Henry Ford pyramided to millions, Although a Republican, he alienated himself from many party leaders by his persistent independ- ence, and was defeated for renomina- tion last month after giving his un- qualified endorsement to President Roosevelt. He had served in the sen- ate since 1922, In a statement typical of his man- ner, Couzens said then “the most im- portant matter confronting the na- tion is the re-election of President Roosevelt. I intend to support him.” Associated With Ford in 1903 A coal yard clerk in 1903, Couzens became associated with Ford when his employer backed the Dearborn inventor with funds to start his au- tomobile factory. Couzens purchased $2,500 of shares in the company. Breaking with Ford in 1915, over policy of the company, Couzens sold his interests in 1919 to the Fords for more than $29,000,000.

President Roosevelt, informed of his death, said “in the death of Sena- tor Couzens the senate of the United States and the people of Michigan and the nation have lost a leader whose convictions were ee of Hen best. that. erica. aspiresfor nosey syienes poe ® match for his idealism.” Services Set Monday Public funeral services will be held at 2 p..m. Monday at the Couzens’ home in Bloomfield Hills. Burial will be in the family mausoleum in Wood- lawn cemetery. A career that is found more often in story book than in actual life was that of James Couzens. It was a career that took him from train butcher and $40-a-month car checker to success in the automotive industry and the distinction of being one of the wealthiest men in the United States senate. Couzens’ connection with the Ford enterprise was more or less accidental in its inception. He was chosen by an earlier investor in the Ford undertak- ing to “protect” that investor's funds. Terminated in 1915 The partnership between Henry Ford and James Couzens terminated in 1915, the result of a sharp disagree- ment as to business policies, Mr. Couzens resigned as an officer of the company but retained his stock hold- ings. The breach later was healed, but not until after Couzens had publicly denounced the Ford presidential boom in 1923 as “ridiculous.” Going to the senate late in 1922 as successor to Truman H. Newberry, who had resigned, Mr.’ Couzens soon brought criticism from several sources for his habit of plain speaking. The first was a renewed break with his old friend Henry Ford. It grew out of Couzens’ espousal of a modifica- tion of the Volstead act. Advocated CCC Plan Couzens was an early advocate of many measures later adopted by the Franklin Roosevelt administration. Among these was a plan from which gtew the civilian conservation corps, direct relief for the, unemployed, un- employment insurance and social se- curity measures. He urged higher in- come taxes and was a consistent pro- ponent of publicity on income tax returns, President Roosevelt appointed him (Continued om Page Two) Lucky Ticket Holders Have Best Chance to Win One of $150,000 Prizes Dublin, Irish Free State, Oct. 23.— (?)—Nine American tickets on the Cambrideshire favorite, Dan Bulger, were drawn Friday from the big drums-in -the nineteenth.» Srish“hos< pitals sweepstakes. .

Social Worker Lauds State Welfare Setup Minneapolis, Oct. 23.—()—North Dakota has one of the “best” public welfare organizations in states sur- rounding Minnesota, according to Mary McGair, regional representative of the social security board, Minne- epolis. Referring to the North Dakota pub- lic welfare organization, she declared “it is non-partisan and the depart- ment seeks federal advice and as- sistance, attempting to solve its prob- lems objectively and without refer- ence to expedience or superficial dis- turbing circumstances.” Popeye ‘Disgustipated’, Says He'll Tackle Lion Popeye the Sailorman Friday was 8 volunteer entry in the hunt for the ‘mysterious lion which has struck ter- ror to some Burleigh county hearts and brought laughter to others.

Plans Last Talks si anoncts HER DETERMINATION TO GIVE SPAIN’ AID Says She Will Not Be Bound by Agreement Which Oth- ers Have Ignored DIPLOMATS ARE FEARFUL Germany and Italy Reach Mu- tual Defense Accord; Seek Other Pacts World attention was divided Friday between the Spanish war front where insurgent Fascists were knocking at the door of Madrid and the council table at London where Ger- many, Italy and Portugal en- tered denials of Russian charges that they were secret- ly aiding in the Spanish rebel- lion. Although they indicated they would seek action by diplo- matic means rather than by di- rect action, the Russians served notice that they would no longer be bound by the inter- vention pact. It was generally agreed that active intervention by Russia would mean war between the Soviets on the one side and Germany and Italy on the other, with the possibility that France might be drawn in be- cause of her military agree- ment with Russia. A Moscow dispatch said Rus- sia would virtually withdraw from the “hands off Spain” agreement negotiated several months ago on the ground that she could not consider herself bound to a greater degree than the other participants to the treaty. 2, as some believed, this indicated. © Soviet determination to openly send arms to Madrid, it would be a long step nearer the European war which is penerely believed to be close at nd. France and England, the former engaged in a military pact with Rus- sia, were reported trying to induce Moscow to take no drastic action at this time. ‘You Did—I Didn't’ At the council table the quarrel be- tween Russia and the Fascist na- tions took on a “you did—I didn’t” complex with Portugal, Italy and Ger- many entering categorical denials that they had aided the Spanish in- surgents and making countercharges eae eae is aiding the Red govern- ment. Unconfirmed reports from Spanish insurgent radio stations said a “for- eign steamer” had been damaged by. bombs while unloading arms at Car- tagena and that 50 Soviet war planes had arrived in government territory. Presenting a strong background for these developments was announce- ment at Berlin that Germany and Italy have agreed upon an “accord” which will become effective as soon as it is signed by Reichsfuehrer Hit- ler. It was negotiated by Baron Konstantin von Neurath, German foreign minister, and Count Galeazzo Ciano, Mussolini’s son-in-law and foreign minister for Italy. Means Military Alliance The agreement was designated by Count Ciano as neither a pact nor an alliance but in Rome it was said to include provisions for a united course of action on the Locarno pact, the League of Nations, the Austrian and Danubian questions, a campaign against Bolshevism and refusal to recognize any but the Fascist group in Spain. It also lays the ground- work for improved Italo-German economic relations, At the same time German diplo- mats talked about a new Franco- German understanding and described it as a “rock of peace” but French Europe” brought to Berlin by Ciano. 2¢ would align France and England
