Aboard His Special Train ed Back to Washington He Makes Series of Rear Plat¬ form Talks RESUMPS OFFENSIVE IN NATIONAL Declares Legislation By Democrats If Ever ed Will ‘ End Hope of Re¬ covery.” On Board Presidential Special, En Route to Washington, Oct. 5. President Hoover made a tour today out of his return to ington from Des Moines where night he told a cheering that “a great national victory has achieved” in the “war against the “economic storm” and said the cratic program was marked by “reck¬ less disregard of the safety of the nation.” -j The chief executive, in a series of rear platform appearances through Indiana and Ohio today, resumed the offensive in his campaign for re-elec¬ tion which he assumed last night when he told the nation that the leg¬ islation proposed by Democrats in the last session of congress, if ever enacted “will end hope of recovery.” This program, tt»e president said, was sponsored by the Democratic par¬ ty when it nominated Speaker Garner for vice-president. White House aides said today that sectres of congratulatory telegrams were being received by Mr. Hoover on his special train, commending him for his Des Moines address, A crowd which filled the 9,600-seat Des Moines Coliseum interrupted Mr. Hoover nearly 100 times with applause during the hour and a half of his speech in which he said, “We won this battle” against economic forces and enunciated 12 policies proposals of aid to agriculture. Several times during his speech, the president referred directly to state¬ ments by his Democratic opponent, -Governor Roosevelt, and once depart¬ ed from his text to say Roosevelt’s characterization of the Hawley-Smoot tariff law as “the highest in the his¬ tory of the world” was not “true.” The president said that Republican policies “are winning out.” “If we continue to fight along these lines we shall ydn,” he added Heading the list of 12 policies and proposals was the proposition that “the very basis of safety to Ameri¬ can agriculture is the protective tar¬ iff on farm products.” The Republican party, he added, “will maintain the protective tariff on farm products and “even widen that tariff further where necessary to protect agriculture.” Among the president's proposals were: 1. Revision of the farm marketing act “in the interest of the farmer in the light of our three years’ experi ence” including repeal of the stabili¬ se,’ation provisions. program” •. 2. Support of a “sound to ‘“promote the reorganization of ag¬ riculture so as to divert lands from unprofitable to profitable use, and to avoid the cultivation of lands the chief return of which is the poverty and misery of those who live upon them.” 3 Recommendation at the next ses¬ sion of congress at a regorganization of the federal land banks to “give them the resources and liberty of ac¬ tion which do not exist, necessary to enable them definitely and to expand in the refinancing of the farm mortgage situation where it is necessary to give men who want to fight for it a chance to hold homes.” 4.

FIRST FATALITY 'Young Farmer is Shot and Killed By Unidentified Assailants Standing Near Picket Sta¬ tion. Canby, Minn., Oct. 5.

Peterson was caught unaware by a fusillade of bullets last night as he' stepped from a tent at a picket sta¬ tion one mile west of here in which he and three companions were shel¬ tered. Two men were reported to have oc¬ cupied the automobile in which the slayers escaped. Sheriff Martin F. Fitzner, who no¬ tified surrounding communities to watch for the killers said he was con¬ vinced there was no connection be¬ tween the picketing movement and the shooting. The pieketeers were some distance off the road, and no at¬ tempt had been made to stop the car in which the gunmen rode, he said. The picketing, which had been car¬ ried in this community for a week, had been peaceable, with persuasion resorted to instead of force as the re¬ sult of a promise made by farm holi¬ day leaders to Governor Floyd B.

GARNER REPLIES TO PRESIDENT’S SPEECH IN IOWA Democratic Vice - Presidential Nominee Declares Sincerity or Ability is Seriously Open to Question IS INCONSISTENT WITH PAST REGIME Scores Tariff and Holds It Re¬ sponsible For Stopping Wheels of Industry and Strangling Commerce. Washington, Oct. 5. (/P)—In reply to President Hoover’s Iowa address, Speaker Garner in a formal state¬ ment today said “if we judge the promises he now makes in the light of those he has made and failed to fulfill, either his sincerity or his abil¬ ity to make good his latest pledges is seriously open to question.” Thes peaker’s statement said: “President Hoover’s statement to the effect that he is using his good offices to prevail upon the land mort¬ gage companies and other financial institutions to which the government has loaned hundreds of millions not to foreclose upon homes and farms is indicative of the inconsistency that has characterized his entire adminis¬ tration. “The president vetfied the measure that would have assured farmers the credit necessary to prevent foreclos¬ ure. He asserted at that time that it would make the government a pawn broker, and insisted that loans be extended only to a select clientele. After extending the loans he states that he is now endeavoring to induce those who have secured the millions of government credit to be lenient with the farmers and home owners whose mortgages they hold. “I am not criticizing the loans to banks, insurance companies, land mortgage companies and other finan¬ cial organizations, but it must be ob¬ vious that extension of credit to a se¬ lect few only cannot bring to this country the maximum benefits that should accrue from the release of this great volume of credit. “The farmers and the home owners, who have acceptable collateral, are as much entitled to that credit as any corporation or company with equally acceptable collateral. “President Hoover is again de¬ nouncing what he terms ‘pork barrel’ legislation enacted by the Democratic house, but is taking credit to himself for all public construction now being initiated. “He states that the Democratic bill was for ‘non productive and unnec essary work,’ but there was not a major item in that hill that had not been recommended by the adminis¬ tration. “He recently boasted that public construction was being initiated un¬ der the terms of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation act, but does not mention the fact that this provision of the bill was included despite op¬ position of the administration and administration leaders. “In the course of his Des Moines speech President Hoover said: ‘The tariff act was not passed until near¬ ly one year after the depression be¬ gan.’ “Mr. Hoover approved the Hawley Smoot tariff act on June 7, 1930, yet in the previous March he was still assuring a nation that prosperity was just around the corner and the turn already in sight.” Young Girl Faces Prison Sentence For Fatal Fight Birmingham, Ala., Oct. 5. (IP )—A pretty 19-year-old blonde, Grace Goode, was confronted today with the prospect of a ten-year prison sentence for first degree manslaughter in the dance hall stabbing of Mrs. Margaret Allen, 19-year-old mother.

Albany, N. Y., Oct. 5. tA 3 )—Two hands clasped in floodlight lingered in the memory of Democrats today as they squared away for final tussles with Republicans. They were the hands of Governor Franklin I). Roosevelt and Alfred E. Smith, who called each other “Al” and “Frank” us they grinned over a common victory. Both had fought for the nomina of Lieut. Governor Herbert H. as Governor. An opposition finally melted and success arrived, they met on the platform of the Dem¬ ocratic state convention last night. Ten thousand pairs of eyes watch¬ ed them. It was the first time they had met since (lie Chicago national convention, where Roosevelt won and Smith lost the nomination for the presidency. Smith, arriving to place Lehman in nomination, went on the platform. Shaking hands with persons there, lie approached the spot where Roose¬ velt was standing. It was “hello, Al” and "hello, Frank” and then the handshake. Tumult, drowned their further re¬ marks, hut as reported by Guernsey T. CroSs, the governor’s secretary, tlie dialogue over the handclasp was: Roosevelt: “Al, this comes from the heart.” Smith: “That goes for me too.” During his speech, Smith referred to Roosevelt by name once. Review¬ ing bis own efforts as governor for social legislation, lie said: “And when 1 left here on January I, 1929, I left with a fueling of satis¬ faction because we handed that pro¬ gram to Roosevelt and Lehman.” A few minutes later he expressed confidence that the Democratic na¬ tional ticket would be successful. “The Democratic party,” lie said, “enters the field not shackled by any false pride, with no apologies for past mistakes, but with a platform and a program of progressive reform that will permit Ibis nation to go forward, that will bring it to a better day, that will solve its economic problems, its problems abroad, and lift from business the paralysis that is causing unemployment, and that can be ac¬ complished by a /Democratic victory, by the election of the Democratic can¬ didates in the coming election.” Roosevelt,, addressing the conven¬ tion, praised Lehman and said that under Smith’s governorship “this state was put on the map among all states, as the criterion of successful state government.” He also lauded United States Sena¬ tor Robert F. Wagner of New York who was renominated. The nominations followed a day packed with fast moving events. First there came from hotel con¬ ferences reports that the alliance of Tammany Hall men and upstate lead¬ ers, opposing the Lehman nomina¬ tion, was holding fast. As the huge armory filled for the final convention session, there still was no definite word from the hotel where John F. Gurry, Tammany chief, battled against the Lehman selection. He and up-staters, headed by Ed¬ ward F. O’Connell, Albany leader, were for Mayor John Boyd Timelier of All/uny. Smith argued with Gurry against apposition of the lieutenant gover¬ nor. Finally one of Gurry’s own dis¬ trict. leaders, Edward J. Ahearn, was reported to have declared he would not go along in the opposition to the New York banker. Gurry yielded and a slate headed by’ Lehman was nominated without a roll call. The ticket also includes M. William Bray of Utica for lieutenant gover¬ nor; Morris S. Tremaine of Buffalo for comptroller; John J. Bennett, Jr., of Brooklyn for attorney general; Cuthbcrt W. Bound of Lock port for chief judge of the court of appeals and John Fitzgibbori of Oswego and Elmer E. Studley of Queens county for congressman at large. Wagner, Tremaine, Bennett and Bound are incumbents. Pound is a Re¬ publican and lias both party endorse¬ ments. TWO SENTENCED TO DEATH Macon, Ga., Oct. 5.
