MAJOR CANDIDATES
Roosevelt Prepares For
New York Address at
Statue of Liberty
“SHARP WORDS”
Coughlin Again Attacks
F.D.R.; Senator Pope
Flays Landon
(By the Associated Press)
Locked in eleventh-hour combat
in the thickly peopled sections of
the industrial east, both parties
watched intently today the unfold
ing of the final campaign strategy
of their leaders.
Governor Alf M. Landon carried
to the heart of Pennsylvania's
steel regions an address entitled
“Civil Service and the Spoils Sys
tem,’ while President Roosevelt
ordered his special train to stand
by for a trip to New York tonight.
In a speech described as non-poli
tical late yesterday, Mr. Roosevelt
told Howard university negro stu
dents that the administration’s
policy is “no forgetten men and na
forgotten races.” :
Landon declared at Philadelphie
last night that the New Deal
“wields the same axe which has
destroyed the liberties of so much
of the world.” To the accompani=-
ment of shouts and cheers, he de
clared also that New Deal “waste
iand extravagance” violates the con
stitution and that the “little fel
‘low" must pay for it. /
On to Pittsburgh
Early today the “Sunflower Spec
ial” 'moved on to Pittshurgh, where
Landon will address a gathering
in Duquesne Garden tonight.
! Tomorrow President Roosevelt
'will speak at bsoth birthday cere
monies for the Statue of Liberty in
New York harbor,
While Col. Frank Knox held up
the prospect of “real recovery” un
der a Republican regime, hisg rival,
Vice President Garner, asked Tex
as democrats to contribute cam
paign funds and a large vote for
an “overwhelming” democratic vie
tory,
Sharp words poured from the
varioug camps. . Father Charles E
Coughlin called Mr. Roosevelt a
“scab president” and the WPA a
“great scab army.” Senator Pope,
Democrat, Idaho, said ‘“fascist ele
ments and influences in the United
States are solidly backing Lan

John G. Winant, former head of

went to the Gefense of the act, with
a declaration that it was something
for which woerkers prayed for many
years.
John Hamilton, chairman of the
republican national committee, hit
back at James Roosevelt for criti
cizing the administration of Kan
sas schools under Landon. Charg
ing young Roosevelt with ‘“disre

“not a Kansag child has been de
