Roose- | velt has so far, and Roosevelt's attempts to get on an intimate, clubby basis with those who have come to see him seem to have missed the mark. One of his favorite gestures to the crowds is to |friend, Franklin D. Roosevelt, from |introduce the members of his family. ‘This,” he says, with his hand on the arm of his 6-foot son, “is my little bo’ Jimmie, and this is my d‘“fi and this is my daughter-in-law Beuy' A cheer always is given these smiling, attractive youngsters. Another campaign statement, made over and over again by Gov. Roosevel was born cn a farm 50 years ago.

Applause, such as a candidate usually receives when he emerges from his train upon arrival. unconsciously is denied Gov. Roosevelt. A sympathetic silence invariably descends as the specially built gangplank or ramp is hauled from the baggage car ahead to the rear platform so that he may alight. The fact that Gov. Rooscvelt was siricken with infantile paralysis after maturity is generally known. His descent from th> train is made by grasping two brass hand rails, anchored at either edge of the runway, and his son precedes him by a step. As he comes back aboard, Roosevelt climbs alone, leaning far forward and virtually pulling himself up with one strong arm after another. It is generally believed that the New York Governor decided to make this trip against the almost unanimous judgment of his advisors for two pur- poses First, to present a personal appeal for the suffragz of the people, and second, to convince them that he is not a wheel chair invalid, incapable of meeting the physical ordeals of the presidential office. Gov. Roosevelt so far has measured up to the strain placed on him. He spent a week aboard his train without a night’s sleep in a hotel. The day | spent in Eastern Kansas was one round | of official engegements lasting from 7 o'clock in the morning until 10 that night. Speaker Garner joined him at Kansas City at 7 o'clock that morning. Three hours later they were in Topeka. The | Governor and his official party started a round of conferences. At noon Gov. Roosevelt stood for 1 hour and 20 min- @ canopy above his head, and gave his views on farm relief. Thousands came to shake office. He held numerous conferences and was the guest of honor at the Governor's dinner. It was 10 o'clock when he came back to his train. Appears in Good Condition. The Governor gives the impression of a man in excellent physical condi- | tion, capable of meeting as strenuous campalgning as any one else. To the great body of the people, who see him first standing at the microphone be- hind tables which cut off sight of his body from the hips down, he is visioned as a man of broad shoulders and tre- mendous vigor. His youthful, vibrant | voice carries the impression of strength. Almest invariably, however, when he must stand or walk, he is supported on the arm of his son, with a cane in his other hand. He moves slowly, cau- tiously, but with great composure. So far on this trip the crowds have been mest considerate and kind. There his hands in the Governor's | he had 12,000 standing before him.

WORTHINGTON, Minn., September 20.—Active and passive campaigns were underway in Minnesota and North Da- kota today by farmers seeking higher prices for products. Worthington was the scene of the “active sector” in Minnesota, where 400 farmers picketed highways at the in- stigation of the Nobles County unit of the Farmers’ National Holiday As- sociation, without approval of the na- tional or State organization. A passive campaign was launched in North Dakota, with farmers of 30 coun- tles ordered to withhold their non-per- ishable prod#cts from market. Usher L. Burdick, Fargo, N. Dak., president of the North Dakota Farmers’ Holiday As- sociation, sald there would be no pick- eting of highways now. Violence Is Banned. Mrs. Chris W. Linnertz, Minot, N. Dak., secretary, sald picketing was not contemplated unless it were found the passive strike is not effective. Violence, she said, would not be tolerated. Meanwhile, the National Farmers’ Holiday Association were ready to be- gin an intensive effort by its members to withhold grain and live stock from the markets for 30 days in an effort to get_higher prices. The national unit has frowned on wpicketlnq but has recommended ‘“ob- servers” for leading highways to check on farm shipments throughout the Mid- dle and Central West. Decision to continue the picketing was announced last night by the Nobles County Association. Live Stock Gets Through Lines. Though most roads were guarded by pickets, a few loads of live stock got throu[h yenerdni; on a side road. One farmer who sought to get through witn a load of sheep, engaged in a scuffie with a group that unhnched his team. He was finally escorted to the local mar- ket by county officers. At Hoople, N.

P AT R e LIQUOR PACT WITH U. S. ATTACKED IN PANAMA B the Associated Press. PANAMA CITY, Panama, September 20.—After a heated half hour of de- bate, the Assembly yesterday afternoon passed on first reading the liquor trans- port convention between the United States and Panama. The treaty was ratified by the United States Senate on June 21. Senator William E. Borah of the Foreign Re- lations Committee at that time ex- plained controversies had arisen be- cause of the lack of such a treaty. Ap- parently the Panamanian opposition is Lased on the premise that no treaty is necessary, since Panama by a previous treaty has the right to free transit of the Canal Zone. Several deputies attacked the Ameri- can attitude, protesting against the a) plication of Federal legislation to the Canal Zone. They insisted that Article 6 of the Panama Canal Treaty reserved to Panama the right to free transit of Canal Zone highways.

BOSTON, September 20 (#).—Massa- chusetts voters turned out today to make their selections from an array of 15,800 candidates for various offices in the State primaries. The contest between Lieut. Gov. Wil- liam S. Youngman. rranx A. Goodwin, former registrar of motor vehicles; Mark Sullivan, former corporation counsel of Boston, and Walter E. Brownell, Boston lawyer, all of whom seek the Republican gubernatorial nom- ination, attracted most attention. ‘Youngman ignored his opponents in the campaign and concentrated his at- tack on the record of Gov.

JAPANESE PROTEST |V[]TING FOR HOOVER. PHILIPPINE TARIFFS Retaliating Lumber Duties May Be Set at Tokio, They Warn. By the Associated Press. against the imposition of higher Phil- ippine tariffs affecting chiefly Japanese imports was lodged with government officials today by the Japanese Traders' Association and Consul General Atsuhi Kimura, A delegation representing the associa- | tion presented Manuel Queson, Presi- dent of the Philippine Senate, a memo- |randum asserting the growth of trade between Japan and the Philippines had | increased 15 fold the last three decades. The memorandum said this was due to | proximity and also to the exchange of | Philippine raw materials for Japanese manufactured goods. Kimura zaid the enactment by the Philippine government of tariffs against Japanese goods might result in the revival of the proposed Japanese tariff against Philippine lumber, a measure | which was recently killed. A special committee has submitted to the Legislature three emergency tariff measure designed to protect Philippine and American products from recent in- tensified foreign competition. The measures consisted of an “anti- dumping” bill, & currency embargo pro- posal designed to offset lower exchange rates favoring Japsn, England and otker countries off the gold standard, end a proposal to amend the tariff act of 1929 repealing limitation of duties to 100 per cent.
