SEES FAI}H IN NATION THROUGHOUT JOURNEY New York Governor Swings East After Ovation Given Him by Los Angeles Crowds. By the Associated Press. | HOLLYWOOD BOWL, Calif, Sep-| tember 24 —In a ringing voice that carried clearly to the thousands bank- ed tier upon tier in the natural amphi- theater cut into Hollywood hills, Frank- lin D. Roosevelt asked today for the support of Scuthern California in his campaign for the presidency. “I ask it not just for ourselves, but for our children, our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren, so that our land may be a happier and a safer place to live,” he said. “Give me your help.” The speech, made after a drive through the flowered streets of the movie colony, climaxed his visit to the metropolis of Southern California. It! followed a luncheon given by tht‘! Roosevelt-Garner Republican Club of | Los Angeles. With the speech com- pleted he motored back to his hotel for conferences and dinner before his final appearance in Los Angeles at Olympic Stadium tonight. Cheered by 65,000. At the stadium he was cheered by more than 65,000 persons. + To them, said Will Rogers, who in- troduced him, he was just ‘neighbor Roosevelt from the other side of the| Rocky Mountains.” “And T'll be frank with you,” Rogers | added, “There's a lot of 'em here to- ! night who ain’t going to vote for you. I'm no campaign manager, but don't you believe all they tell you. But they <o admire your type of man. We greet you, not as a candidate but as neighbor Roosevelt, from the other side of the Rocky Mountains.” So Mr. Roosevelt “met the folks” at- tending the motion picture electoral parade and sport pageant, staged each year for the benefit of charity. Will Go to Arizona. At midnight he was to board his spe- | cial train to journey to Williams, Ariz. Mr. Roosevelt reminded his audience ; at Hollywood Bowl of his recent ' speeches on farm relief and water power and recalled to the crowd the policies he laid down in those. He was introduced by William Gibbs McAdoo, the Democratic nominee for ! Senator from California. The New York Governor's appear- ance at Hollywood Bowl came after a tumultuous welcome showered upon him by thousands who lined the streets to watch him journey from his train to his notel shortly after ncon. The message of Gov. Roosevelt to Southern Califorma was given to thousands who massed tier upon tier in Hollywood's natural amphitheater. All but a few tiers of the bowl, seating | 25.000, were filled. i James A. Farley, chairman of the! Democratic National Committee, first to speak, was roundly cheered when he declared he did not concede the Republicans a single State. Isadore Dockweiler, former national committeeman for California, welcomed the New York Governor and evoked a | round of yells when he predicted Cal- ifornia’s electoral vote would be in the Rocosevelt column in November. McAdoo Speaks Next. McAdoe, who mzde certain the nom- ination of Roosevelt in Chicago by casting the California delegation’s vote for the New York Governor, spoke next. “I can only think of three preemi- nently great men Nature has produced in the last century,” he said. “They were Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roose- velt and Woodrow Wilsod. Frank bids fair to be ranked with ttem, but he won't have the supreme test until he takes the oath of office next March 4., “If you are on a sinking elephant in the middle of the stream and a sturdy mules comes swxgmmg past, isn't it the sensible thing climb on the mule and let him take you out?” The crowd sent echoes rolling back from the hill as he presented Gov. Roosevelt. “Senator MgAdoo,” Gov. Roosevelt began—and the vast crowd cheered. | The candidate repcated the state- ment he had previously made that he | was “‘not making a campaign trip.” i “I've come,” he said, “to talk with} the every-day people. the average people —the forgotten pesple. “I've come to Southern Californin to find out and talk with you about the wonderful things you have done! for progressive government.

Roosevelt said he had found| “from the beginning of the trip to this moment_evidence that, through unem- ploymsnt and a sore economic distress, | people have carried on with a minimum | of complaint and a maximum of patience.” H “It must Test on faith.” he said. “Faith that out of our great resources | must be found a solution. “I have seen that faith stretching in en unending panorama across the continent. “I saw this faith in Denver and Salt Lake and Cheyenne.

Smoot Contradicts Estimate. BY G. GOULD LINCOLN. Giving his hearty indorsement to the “progressive program sponsored by Gov. Roosevelt,” Speaker John N. Gar- ner, Democratic nominee for Vice Presi- dent, last night declared that Roose- velt, by his appearance and speeches in the West, is making a tremendous ap- peal to the voters in that and other sections of the country. “Through the Northwest and down the Pacific Coast Gov. Roosevelt has carried a heartening message to the well-nigh discouraged millions of Amer- icans who have suffered from the blighting effects of Republican ad- ministration,” said Mr. Garner. The vice presidential candidate is to take the field as soon as Gov. Roosevelt has completed his swing across the ccuntry, early in October. It is ex- pected that Mr. Garner will be billed | for a number of addresses in the East and that then he, too, will go West, perhaps all the way to the Coast. Once he gets started campaigning. it is ex- pected that the Speaker will be con- stantly on the of election. Smoot Discounts Trip. Mr. Garner's view of the Roosevelt Western trip by no means coincided with that of Senator Reed Smoot, Re- publican. of Utah, who returned to ‘Washington yesterday from the West. Senator Smoot said that Roosevelt had failed to impress the people of Utah with his speech in Salt Lake City, | cealing with the railroads. “They expected something else,” said Senator Smoot. He added that what Roosevelt had said in Butte, Mont., about the silver question had been “nothing new.” The Utah Senator said that Roosevelt's promise to call a con- ference was too late, since plans for such a conference are already made and the economic conference is to be called, Cealing with the silver and other ques- tions “Conditions are improving for the Republicans in Utah and in other States of the West,” said Senator Smoot. He predicted that Utah would cast its cast its electoral vote for Hoover and Curtis. He said that business was pick- ing up and that never beiore had there been such a large sugar beet crop in Utah, from which the farmers, working { under contract, would reap profit. Uncertain About Taxes. Senator Smoot was asked whether it would be necescary to increase Fed- eral taxes during the December session of Congress. He replied that he could not say; that at p.'escntdl looked as though there would be a dEficit calling for additional taxes but that with an upswing of business, the situation would change much. “There must be continued Govern- ment economy,” he continued. “The Government pay cut uncoubtedly will have to be continued for another vear.” Representative Royal Johnson of South Dakota, Republican, who saw scmething of the recent primary cam- paign in Wisconsin, now back in Wash- (Continued on Page 4, Column 8.)

Br the Associated Press. CHICAGO, Septemter 24 —Satisfied by a preliminary glance that the col- iapse of the Insull Investment Trust Cos. warranted an investigation, United States District Attorney Dwight H. Green today ordered the Government’s forces of inquiry to assemble next week and plunge into the task, The district attorney summoned as a | board of strategy the several chiefs of | investigative bureaus to determine “whether any statutes of the United States have been violated” in the Insull financing. The State has already begun its own inquiry, and hearings by a State Sen- ate Committee were presaged by Sen- ator Peter Norbeck, who announced that the Banking Committee, of which | he is chairman, would seek evidences | of misrepresentations in the sales of Insull stock. Accounting Systems Phase. One phase of the several investiga- tions is expected to focus on the Insull accounting systems. Auditors, - rendering their preliminary accounting of Middle West Utility Co., had asserted that earnings reports were inflated by addition of stock dividends and “profits from sale of securities,’ which were, in fact, not profits at all but exchanges with subsidiaries. A proper system of accounting would have shown, the auditors said, an actual loss frcm operations. Middle West, however, was giveri & hope of salvage through reorganization and was not thrown into bankruptcy when that action was taken yesterday against two investment concerns, Insull Utility Investments, Inc., and Corpora- study of the question of recovering as- sets, one possible source being the col- lection of balances due on the purchase of stock by subscribers who never fin- ished payments. Two Receivers Dropped. Two recelvers for the investment con- cerns were dropped. They were Patrick J. Lucey and George A. Cooke, found to have been buyers of Insull Utility In- vestment stock with 203 others let in on the “ground floor” by the Insull organ- ization at $12 a share before the was put on the market at $27. Many who purchased at the privileged price lost in the subsequent market col- lapse, although at one time the utility stock reached $149. District Attorney Green did not elab- orate on the trend his investigation would follow. It was generally assumed, however, the inspectors, Bureau of Investigation, and the Internal Rev- enue Bureau would co-operate in seek- ing evidences of possible violation of the statutes prohibiting use of the mails to defraud, concealment of assets and dissemination of false financial state- ments. Judge Lindley, who has issued his or- ders by mail from his home at Dan- ville, 111, will return to coyrt at Chicago next week.
