WALL ST. CAMPAIGN

AGAINST ROOSEVELT Landon to go West (Aus & N.Z. Cable Assn.) (Received October 18 at 7 p.m.) NEW YORK, October 17. President Roosevelt, in concluding his last day of intensive campaigning in the Middle West, again warned the nation in a speech at Cleveland, not to heed “the gospel of fear being spread by our opponent that the Administration is antagonistic to business. ’ ’ ’ , He surprised members of his own party in the middle of his speech by picturing the New Deal as Labour's champion, and by opposing concentrated wealth, and when he stated that Wall Street was using the corporation stockholders’ money to finance the propaganda against his (Roosevelt’s) reelection. Ex-President Hoover, in a speech at Philadelphia, assailed the New Deal for misleading the public as to future expense. He asserted: “If income tax payers juggled accounts and showed similar morals to the Administration in keeping their books, they would be put in gaol.’’ Governor Landon (Republican candidate) at Topeka, announced his sudden decision to campaign on the Pacific Coast. The Straw Poll gives Governor Landon a four to five chance in California.
