15, T0 RETIRE 'SANTA' SAYS KNOX Hits Social Security Act and Warns Hearers of Tax Rise. By the Associated Press. ALLENTOWN, Pa., September 5.— Col. Frank Knox, Republican vice presidential nominee, today combined an attack on the social security act with a prediction, regarding Federal funds, that “the people are going to retire Santa Claus.” Knox spoke before a cheering crowd In the Lehigh County Fair Grounds at a rally formally opening the na- tional campaign in the industrial dis- trict of Eastern Pennsylvania. G. Mason Owlett, State Senator and national committeeman, estimated the crowd in the grandstands, and stand- ing before the speakers platform, at 15,000. State Chairman M. Harvey ‘Taylor of Harrisburg called it the largest Republican rally in Lehigh County’s history. Col. Knox told his audience that when he wound up his New England tour Friday night he telegraphed Gov. Alf M. Landon: “Forget about New England; it's all safe.” “And tonight,” he added, “I'll wire him again to say ‘old Pennsylvania is Just as safe.’” Crowd Forces Shift. The rally is a tradition in the Le- high Valley territory. The custom has been to open the campaign in Fogels- ville, a little farming community 9 miles west of Allentown, but it was moved this year to accommodate a larger crowd. Knox received an ovation when he drove down the fair grounds track, behind a motor cycle escort, and mounted the speakers’ platform. Lan- don-Knox pennants, bunting and flags hung from the platform. “Lip service to security” was the nominee’s term for the social security measure, which provides for unem- ployment insurance and old-age pen- | He called it “unworkable and | sions. unsound.” “The present administration has been for four years giving lip service to security and welfare, and today no life insurance policy is secure; no sav- ings account is safe.” Knox charged the administration with a “brazen effort to obtain popu- lar favor by distributions of Treasury largess.” “You will be told of the hundreds of millions of dollars of Federal money spent in Pennsylvania and that Pennsylvania received $165,000,~ 000 for relief in the last fiscal year, as if the Federal Government was a great grab bag, with each of 48 States scrambling to get a hand in first.” Share of Debt Increased. “Just remember,” he warned, “that under the New Deal Pennsylvania's | share of the national debt has in- creased by a little over one thousand million dollars.” “Al Smith has said that nobody shoots Santa Claus. That depends. If Santa Claus knocks you on the head and takes away your money every day, and gives back the next day a part of what he has taken, he is not likely to last very long. “I have a notion the people are go- ing to retire Santa Claus in No- vember.” Knox said a Republican adminis- tration would offer legislation on so- cial security, but continued to say, “it would pay the people to retire the administration even if the new one should do nothing, just as a ‘own takes up a collection to give to come passing family, just to have them icave town.” Speaking two days before Labor day, Knox repeated the warring to lapor, made in earlier campaign ad- dresses, that if it “seeks legislative favors,” it will find it had “made a bitter bargain,’ advising, instead, a policy of “fighting its own battles.” From Allentown the candidaie’s campaign route takes him to Alma, Mich. He will make his Labor day address there on the campus of Alme College, the little school he attended 40 years ago. _ CANDIDATES’ STAND ON VETERANS ASKED Van Zandt Urges Statement on Position Toward Those Disabled. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, September 5.—James Van Zandt, commander of the Vet- erans of Foreign Wars, urged in a prepared ‘address today that veterans ask both Republican and Democratic presidential candidates to commit themselves on their stands pertaining to disabled veterans. “We cannot predict who will win the election,” said Van Zandt, a guest speaker at the annual convention of the Military Order of the Purple Heart, an organization of veterans wounded in action. “We cannot deny the possibility that there may be another economy bill. It is our duty to seek from both presi- dential candidates,the position they will take in regard to disabled vet- erans. “I hope we do not again have to go through the same thing we had in 1933, when the economy bill cut off veterans' benefits, threw the disabled out of the hospitals and placed their care upon the shoulders of comrades :ho were scarcely able to bear the bur- en.” Plans to unite the Eastern and West- ern auxiliaries of the Purple Heart were considered by the Executive Board.

Hastings | declared before he went to Europe he } would not run again. One report is that when he returns he will decline the nomination and Gov. Buck will be rushed into the picture again. It ds a factional contest which is giving the G. O. P. considerable concern. Associates “Announced.” Senator Joseph F. Guffey of Penn- sylvania, chairman of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, yes- terday “announced” the associate members of his committee, Senators Thomas of Utah, Donahey of Ohio, Maloney of Connecticut and Truman of Missourl. Guffey, Democratic boss in Pennsylvania, issued a statement in which he predicted victory for Roose- velt and the New Deal Democrats all along the line. “The battle front for the senatorial campaign is set,” he said. “With {ne exception of a few States, candidates | for the Senate have been named. All the Democratic nominees are fighting under the Roosevelt banner. These candidates champion the administra- tion’s wholesome, irresistible issues, “To advocate the replacement of the Roosevelt administration, which has restored universal solvency, with the repudiated Republican bankruptcy brigade imputes a lack of good judg- ment to the American voter. The policies and enactments of the Demo- cratic administration have prevented privations, stimulated industrial ac- tivity, established new enterprises, in- stituted new employments, created comforts and conveniences, rescued sound capitalism and preserved Amer- ican traditions. “President Roosevelt has kept us at peace with the world and maintained domestic tranquillity. In view of what is transpiring elsewhere, this non- combatant attitude is a condition for which we may all give thanks. Appeal Not Promise. “The Democratic appeal is not a promise, doubtful of performance, but presents for approval a record of bene- ficial accomplishments unparalleled in political history and startling in ad- van magnitude.” Senator Gutiey had compiled and made public a ust of all the senatorial candidates of the major parties nomi- nated to date.

Democratic leaders are planning their campaign along three lines: First, “Prosperity regained,” on the theory that business has increased very greatly; second, “Roosevelt, the humanitarian,” and third, that the cost of recovery was justified, no mat- ter how high the figure has run. The last is in reply to the Republican charges of Roosevelt spending and waste, a huge public debt and in- creased taxes. In addition the Democrats are set- tling into their stride with accusa- tions of huge slush funds to defeat Roosevelt and other Democratic can- didates at the polls. The Republicans counter with charges that publft money is being used to win the election for the New Dealers, and that W. P. A. workers and others on relief are being coerced into registering and voting as Demo- crats. The Democrats are showing them- selves sensitive to the results of news- paper and magazine “polls,” straw votes, which have indicated that Gov. Landon has a chance of winning the presidential election. Charles Michel- son, director of publicity for the Dem- ocratic National Committee, sounded off yesterday. Swing in Polls Predicted. “The straw polls,” sald Michelson, “are of value—to the outfits that selling them to the newspapers—and to add to the entertainment of the occasion. So do the figments of imagi- nation that are being published as news, but that is all they amount to. Let me turn prophet for a moment and set down my firm conviction that every one of the straw ballotings worth noticing will, on its last issue, before the election, swing- clear around and publican, Wilmington.

H Delaney, forecast Roosevelt’s victory—and they will not be stingy in the estimates of his majority then.” ‘The straw votes four years ago in- dicated that Roosevelt would win, and they s0 indicated early in their tabula- tions. A great’:deal depends upon which side seems to be winning, when 1t comes to making estimates of the value of these polls. Up in Philadelphia & registration of voters is under way. It shows a large Tegistration with the Republicans reg- istering three to every two Democrats. Both sides appear to be satisfied with the result. However, if the voters cast their ballots the way they are registering, the carrying of Pennsylva- nia for Roosevelt would appear to be too great a task for the Guffey-Earle machine.

By the Associated Press. OGDEN, Utah, September 5.—For- mer President Hoover announced defi- nitely tonight that he will confer with Gov. Alf Landon of Kansas, the Re- publican presidential nominee, on his present Eastern trip. “Gov. Landon called me on the phone Thursday, and I'm going to see him on this trip,” Hoover said. Apparently in excellent spirits, the former President disclosed his plans to newspaper men as he paused here en route from Palo Alto to New York City to attend several directors’ meet- ings September 9. PROCLAIM HOLIDAY Tomorrow No Day for Class Preju- dices, Landon Says. TOPEKA, Kans., September 5 (#).— ‘Monday was proclaimed a labor holi- day, with “nd room in it for class di- visions and prejudices,” by Gov. Alf M. Landon today. To “the people of Kansas” the Re- publican candidate issued a “formal call” to a Labor day of “good will and friendly association,” saying: “We should remain steadfast in the belief that the concern of labor is the concern of all; that labor should be free to organize for fair consiceration; that this right to organize and pro- mote such consideration must remain forever free from governmental or any other form of coercion.” “No good citizen,” he added, would “contribute” to “class divisions and prejudices.” Landon interrupted a morning crowd with State business and cam- paign plans, which included a tele- phone conversation with John Hamil- ton, national chairman, to hold his customary press conference. He came into an outer office crowded with pho- tographers’ floodlights and stood as he talked with reporters. To Address Legionnaires. After Landon had discussed plans for a trip to Wichita Monday and a Labor day talk to the State American Legion Convention, he was asked whether he expected to see Hoover during the campaign. “In the natural course of events I may have a meeting with him,” was the reply. “He may stop off on his way home,” the Governor continued. “I hope to see him on his way home.” The nominee did not designate a | date for the meeting.

September 5.— | Norman Thomas, Socialist candidate for President, carried his campaign into this textile region tonight with an assertion that the textile industry “has gained little or nothing from the New Deal.” In an address prepared for a meet- ing of workers gathered from sur- rounding towns of Danielson, Jewett | City, Plainville and Norwich, Thomas | contended “labor will suffer harm | whoever is elected except as labor is organized in its unions and on the political field.” He said that contention was offered against the argument that Roosevelt must be re-elected or labor will suf- fer. “I am tired,” he said, “of the double pair of spectacles which some labor leaders are using to examine the Roosevelt and the Landon record or the Democratic and Republican rec- ord. They look at the Roosevelt-Dem- ocratic record through rose-colored glasses. They look at the Landon- Republican record more clarly.” ELECTORS LIST FILED Kentucky 13th State Entered by Union Party.

SENATORIAL RACE HOTIN COLORADD Gov. Johnson and Former Gov. Sweet Battle for Democratic Nomination. By tre Associated Press. DENVER, September 5—A heated contest between Gov. Ed C. Johnson and former Gov. William E. Sweet ! for the Democratic nomination for United States Senator dominated in- terest in next Tuesday's primary elec- tion tonight. Both candidates prepared Labor day addresses to close a primary campaign in which the “New Deal” has been a major issue, even though each pledged allegiance to the na- tional administration. Raymond L. Sauter, the Republican senatorial nominee, is without pri- Sweet, campaigning as “Colorado’s Pioneer New Dealer,” denounced the Roosevelt policies. Johnson described Sweet’s charges as “disgusting” and praised the na- tional administration. His adherents described Johnson as a “Roosevelt Democrat” and Sweet as a “Hoover Democrat who deserted the party in 1928.” Both seek the Senate seat to be relinquished by Sepator Edward P. Costigan, who did not ask re-election. Merle D. Vincent, former N. R. A. official, withdrew from the race and supported Sweet. Three candidates seek the Demo- cratic nomination for Governor. They are State Senator Teller Ammons, Denver city attorney; Lieut. Gov. Ray H. Talbot of Pueblo, and Moses E. Smith of Ault, speaker of the State House of Representatives. State Treasurer Charles M. Arm- strong, only Republican now holding a major State office, is unopposed for the Republican gubernatorial nomination. . W. P. A. EXONERATED ON ‘FAKE’ PICTURE CHARGE Fargo Newspaper, Which Made Accusation, Says Grazing Scene Is “Honest Picture.” W. P. A. announced yesterday it had been exonerated of the charge of “faking” a widely circulated pic- ture showing drought cattle grazing on the State capitol grounds at Bismarck, N. Dak. Under a caption, “¥ Is An Honest Picture,” the Fargo, N. Dak. Forum, which made the charge, reproduced the now famous picture in its Wednes- day’s issue and said: “The picture of these cows was not, as the Fargo Forum believed and said when it first branded this shot as a faked picture of the drought, super-imposed on a picture of the capitol itself. It is an honest picture.” The cows belonged to Herman Ohds, a farmer living near Bismarck, whose 500 acres of pastures had been hard hit by the drought. He obtained per- mission from the State to graze his cattle on what was left of grass in the viciniiy of the capitol. The picture, taken by a W. P. A, photographer, shows the cattle as they strolled grazing over a portion of the grounds, separated from the capitol by a parking space. Plan Benefit for W. C. T. U.

NEW YORK, September 5.—Mrs. Frank Knox, wife of the Republican vice presidential candidate, is learn- ing how to relax. She is accompanying her husband on his tour of Eastern States. “Some times my husband speaks nine times a day,” she told a group of women which met the Knox party at the Union Station today. “The first day I felt as if I were making every speech with him. I sat behind him and followed his lines, and at night I was worn out. “After that I realized that it was his job, not mine * * * so I relaxed and am thoroughly enjoying meeting all the people and hearing them ex- press their love of America. “I look upon my husband as a crusader, not as a candidate for the vice presidency.” Roosevelt (Continued From First Page.) “stimulated by the spending of the Federal Government in useful ways.” Contending progress had been made in “respect to those vital problems which affect so profoundly the lives and destinies of the Nation’s workers, he added: “We must continue to move for- ward.” Text of Statement. The text of the President’s state- ment follows: “I send hearty Labor day greetings to America's workers everywhere. I feel that there is cause for rejoicing among wage earners as labor’s annual day approaches. Labor day is a day on which it is natural for us to take account of stock to see where we stand with respect to those vital problems which affect so profoundly the lives and destinies of the Nation's workers. We have made progress. We must continue to move forward. “Employment and weekly pay enve- lopes have increased steadily during the last three years, stimulated by the spending of the Federal Government in useful ways. This increased buying power of wage earners and farmers has resulted in increased sales by merchants, more orders for factories and rising profits for investors. “We have witnessed significant changes during the last few years, changes which necessitate special re- consideration of basic problems, with a view to finding a new approach to their solution. achieve and maintain a national economy whose factors are so finely balanced that the worker is always sure of a job which will guarantee a living wage. By a living wage I mean a wage which will insure the worker and the worker’s dependents a living in accordance with American stand- ards of decency, happiness and self- respect. The wage earners of Amer- ica do not ask for more. They will not be satisfled with less.” * Speech on All Stations. NEW YORK, September 5 (#).— All available stations of the N. B. C., C. B. S, M. B.

CHICAGO, September 5.—Chair- man John Hamilton of the Republican National Committee in a statement today said Labor day finds the coun- try “experiencing what aptly has been called a ‘prosperity mirage.’ " “It appears like prosperity to those who are back in the market,” the statement said. “It isn't prosperity at all for the | perity for those on relief or on the W. P. A, who know, as Gov. Landon said, ‘There is no future on relief.’ “There can be no prosperity, no matter what the New Dealers say, while millions of farmers and workers are out of jobs. The farmer is hit both ways. They lose through Roose- velt scarcity policies, and they get hit from the other direction by the New Deal reciprocal trade agreements which give American markets to for- eigners.” At the same time, the statement said, “all the people are paying through heavy taxation for this fool's paradise in which we live.” Labor day brings to “millions who are suffering because Roosevelt policies {have held back national recovery,” | the statement asserted, was in the | candidacy of Gov.
