DEFENDANT BACK AT KILLING TRIA Embalmer Watches Efforts of Prosecutors for Death . Penalty. By the Associated Press. OREGON, I, October 13.—Ap- parently recovered from the seizures he suffered at his trial’s opering, Guy Tallmadge, bespectacled 58-year-old embalmer charged with the slaying of his wife, closely followed the efforts of prosecutors today to qualify a jury for the death penalty. Affected by what his doctor said ‘was a weak heart, taxed by his leading role in the Circuit Court trial, the paunchy undertaker’s assistant yes- terday left the court room three times complaining of attacks of nausea and returned pale and trembling after treatments by a physician. ‘While counsel sought to add 10 more jurors to the 2 who were quali- fled yesterday, Mrs. Frances Birch, comely 30-year-old widow, awaited a call as a prosecution witness. The State charged Tallmadge lured his wife to a lonely country road early on May 19 and shot her to death so he might marry red-haired Mrs. Birch and settle down on a chicken farm. The defendant collapsed the first time after State's Attorney S. Donald Crowell announced a decision to re- fuse Tallmadge’s plea of guilty in return for a State recommendation of a life septence. Defense Attorneys B. J. Knight and J. E. Goembel said Tallmadge's sanity would be a major defense issue, Lincoln (Continued From First Page.) gathering in this city Sunday night— ‘he was invited to address the meeting after Rev. Gerald Smith, Lemke ex- horter, had failed to make airplane connections in time to reach Bolses— Borah said: “One of my American principles is o be just as free in politics as I want to be.” That seems to sum up his position in this campaign. Roosevelt appears to have the bulge not only in Idaho, but also in Oregon, ‘Washington, Montana, Utah, Nevada, all States of this mountain section of the country. Wyoming alone is claimed by the Republicans with some | justice. The chief reasons in Idaho, @s in these other States, seems to be because the common man is of the opinion that Roosevelt is his friend; that the New Deal is being opposed by the big interests and the moneyed classes. The Republicans might be able to offset this feeling to some ex- tent if they could build up Landon also as a friend of the poor man and an enemy of the big interests. Just one speech from the Republican can- didate getting down to cases and separating himself from the big in-| terests might have great effect, it is| sald here. G. O. P. Fighting Hard. The Republicans in Idaho are fight- ing hard. They are doing their best to organize the voters for the G. O. P. ticket. At the same time, they are not, obviously, hopeful of carrying the State for Landon. The talk here in informed quarters is that the State will go for Rogsevelt by from 15000 to 30,000 and more emphasis is laid on the 30,000 figure: Four years ago Roosevelt carried Idaho with 109,000 votes to 71,000 for Hoover—a plurality of 38,000 votes. In 1928 Hoover, on the other hand, took the State from Al Smith with & plurality of 46,000. At the time Sena- tor Borah was campaigning for Hoover. Generally speaking, Idaho has | been a Republican State over the years. It must be remembered, however, that it is one of the mining States of the Union—gold and silver. In 1896 and again in 1900 Idaho gave its electoral votes to William Jennings Bryan, the New Dealer of that day. Bryan and his free silver policy was the choice of the Idaho people against William McKinley. And the silver and gold issue, as represented in the Roose- velt policy, is having its effect here today. The mihes are operating today to a greater extent that for years, due, it is said, entirely to the Roosevelt policy. Far More Prosperous. The very fact that Idaho is far more prosperous today than it has been for & number of years is operating in favor of Roosevelt. Whether this prosperity is due largely to Govern- ment spendipg and whether it is merely ephemeral appears not to halt a feeling of satisfaction. The voters, particularly the farmers, the miners and the small business men, appar- ently are willing to take the cash and let the future take care of itself. The farmers have had good crops. They are getting good prices for their po- tatoes. * The cattle and sheep raisers would prefer better prices for their stock, but they are not greatly dis- satisfled, take them by and large. All of these things, plus labor’s strong leaning to Roosevelt, are having their effect on the campaign. ‘The Republicans are relying on win- ning back the farmers because of a very dislike on their part for the re- ciprocal trade agreements. They are stressing, too, the mounting public into billions of dollars and the spectre of higher taxes and possible ruinous inflation of the currency. They are pointing to “waste”.of public funds. However, the tendency of the ordinary run-of-the-mine voter is not to be- come too seriously aroused over the charges of waste and Government spending. or do t! eel thal Roosevelt is likely to upset the con- stitutional form of government as it now exists. The pocketbook issue— and most of them have more money than for a long time—is the main issue 50 far as they are concerned. Townsend. Has Following. The Townsend old-age pension pas- sion ran like wild fire over Idaho, as it has done in some of other States of this section. Dr. Townsend picked up a lot of followers in this State. A ‘Townsend headquarters operates here. It is estimated that the Townsendites number around 30,000 in the State. The Townsendites themselves claim many more. The Republicans figure that if they can get the votes of the Townsend followers, they can carry the State for Landon. They have been somewhat encouraged over the state- ment now issued by Dr. Townsend, himself, saying that he intends to vote in California for Landon since he is unable there to vote for Lemke, the Union Party candidate, and also saying that he would like to see his followers vote Landon in all those other States where Lemke has been unable to get on the presidential ballot. Here in Idaho Lemke is on the ballot. The Republicans say that most of the votes which will be cast for Lemke will come out of groups and individuals who otherwise would vote for Roosevelt—that they look upon it as gain for Landon. Party lines, however, are drawing tighter and tighter—as between the New Dealers and the Republicans. Many of the Townsend followers are likely to vote for Roosevelt or for Landon instead of for Lemke. The Republican organization is looking longingly to the G. O. P. Na- tional Committee for financial aid. They believe with adequate funds for campaign purposes they may yet have chance in this State, in a last inten- sive drive. On the other hand, the face that the Morgans and the du Ponts contributed some $50,000 to the Republican campaign fund in Maine, for the State election there in Sep- tember, has been widely advertised in Idaho, This, it is said, is having its effect, clinching the idea that the G. O. P. is the party of big interests and that the big interests are opposing Roosevelt. A poll taken on one of the C. C. C. camps showed Roosevelt with 143 votes and Landon with 7. Idaho has today two Democratic members of the House and one Democratic Senator. Also s Demo- cratic Governor. There is a strong Democratic organization here and the Democrats are hoping for an alfnost solid vote for Roosevelt from the W. P. A. workers. The Democrats have renominated their two Repre- sentatives in the National House, White and Clark. Against them the Republicans have put up J. 8. Heckathorn and Henry Dworshak. Dworshak, they say, has a chance in the second district against Clark. Also there is a chance that the Re- publicans may elect their guber- natorial candidate, Frank L. Sphan of Twinfalls, over Barzilla W. Clark, the Democratic nominee. If the Roosevelt swing is strong, however, it is likely the Democrats will return both their Representatives and elect a Governor.

The Chief Executive said he was certain the American people would not Be frightened by “fairy tales” In November and added: “The people who talk about these class distinctions are the very ones who are encouraging class antagonism. For they tell one story in the East and another story in the West; one story in the city and another story on the farm. That is not my way and never will be my way.” Mr. Roosevelt declared ‘“leaders” who were disseminating “this silly false fear” are the men “‘whose blind- ness to facts and refusal to act caused the real fear and the real danger of national disaster in 1932.” After outlining in detail the objec- tives and philosophy of his adminis- tration as having been based, generally speaking, on economic security, free- dom of religion and full opportunity for education, he said: “We are com- ing through a great national crisis with flying colors. We have not lost our self-respect. We have not changed our form of government. ‘Turning to peace, the President OLD GOLD AND SILVER will bring ou COLDS H FEVER IQUID, TABLETS di L SALVE, NOSE DRO! debt and the annual deficits running Lawyers ROOSEVELT Club Try “Rab-My-Tis 4 & and GARNER of the District of Columbia cordially invite the public to attend a POLITICAL RAILLY to be held at the HOTEL MAYFLOWER Wednesday, October 14, 1936, 8 P.M.

We seek only by force of our own example to spread the gospel of peace in the world.” The President already had made three rear platform talks from his train last night in Western Kansas and three others were scheduled later to- dgy at Florence, Emporia and Olathe. He also was to make a brief talk before dark at Kansas City, Kans., in front of the new Wyandotte County Court House and later at Kansas City, Mo, in the Municipal Auditorium. ““We are gaining peace and security at home,” the President said here. “I am confident that I have the sup- port of the Americah people in seek- ing peace and security abroad.” The President said he did not be- lieve “Kansas would have pulled | through the difficult problems of the | past four years as splendidly as it has, had it not been for Federal co- | operation and Federal assistance in | many fields of your endeavor. “If you think we were wrong to give this assistance, then, to be logi- cal, you must ask that in the days to come every State in the Union shall set itself up ss an individual entity for the solution of all of the prob- Jems of all of its inhabitants, save Dossibly the maintenance of the Army, | the Navy and the handling of our foreign affairs.” He repeated a previous statement that with “income increasing and expenditures declining, we shall be able to balance the budget and start paying down” on the public debt in & year or two. Laying the foundation for his denial that he was ranging one class against another, he said at the outset: “If I ever write another book I am going to have a chapter in it about bedtime stories — political bedtime storfes. It will be a very amusing chapter. I am going to fill it with whispering ghosts and stalking bogey men, and I am going to end the chap- ter by telling how the American men and women on the 3d of November, 1936, refused to be frightened by fairy tales. You folks do not look & bit | scared to me.” He said the same few “speculators” who profited at the expense of the “great masses” and pleaded with him for help in March, 1933, were now giving “lip service” to the word “se- curity,” and at the same time trying to block all measures designed to “re- | strain the kind of individualism which hurts the community itself, individu- alism run amuck.” Departed School of Thought. He declared the school of thought that believed “those vast number of average citizens who do not get to the top of the economic ladder do not | deserve the security which the Gov- ernment alone can give them” left | ‘Washington on March 4, 1933. X “The farmers of the Nation are a good example of what Government can do,” he sald, “not only in direct help, but in providing security for the future. From a state of collapse in 1932, agri- culture has not only been brought back to life, but has received the encourage- ment of Government which enables it to face the future with confidence.” ‘Then, directing two questions to his audience, he asked: “Is there among the many farmers Furnace, Range and Stove Parts for more than 6,000 brands.

Immediate and direct assistance, including work for the unemployed, help for drought sufferers and assist- ance to youth, 2. Protection against “recognized abuses” such as kidnaping, safeguard- ing investors, regulation of stock ex- changes and utility companies, bring- ing down electric rates and eliminat- ing “unsafe” banking. 3.

LANDON’S TRAIN @. 0. P. Nominee Gives Brief Platform Speech in Stop at Monroe, Mich. By tne Associated Press. MONROE, Mich., October 13.—Gov. Alf M. Landon, Republican presidential nominee, arrived here at 11:40 a.m. to- day for a brief platform speech from his special train before proceeding to Detroit for an address tonight. Landon, making his first appearance in Michigan, was introduced by Repre- sentative Earl C. Michener, Republican, of Michigan as “the typical Governor of a typical prairie State, the next President of the United States.” Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg, Re- publican, of Michigan, boarded the train, which left for Detroit after a stop of seven minutes. Walter Brown, former Postmaster General, rode on Landon's train from Cleveland. Robert A. Stranahan and Frank D. Stranahan, sparkplug manu- facturers of Toledo, Ohio, boarded the special there. On his first Michigan stop, Landon renewed his denunciation of “waste, incompetence and, above all, partisan- ship” as-he opened his bid for the State's 19 electoral votes. A crowd uumufl“by police at 4,000 greeted Boarding the train with Senator Vandenberg here were Wilber M. Brucker, Republican candidate for United States Senator; Representative Clarence J. McLeod, Republican, of Michigan; Gov. Prank D. Fitsgerald, Representative Michener and Circuit Judge Joseph A. Moynihan of Detroit, who presided at the recent Black Legion murder trial.
