United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright. Received Sunday, 9.20 p.m. NEW YORK, Oct. 17.

President Roosevelt, concluding tne last day of his intensive campaigning in the Middle West, again warned the nation in a speech at Cleveland not to heed the ‘ ‘ gospel of fear spread by his opponents that the Administration was antagonistic to business.” Ho 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 when lie stated that Wall St.r *• was using corporation stockholders’ money to finance propa.gando against his re-election.

Ex-President Hoover, in a speech at Philadelphia, assailed tho New Deal for misleading the public as to future expenses, asserting that “if income taxpayers juggled their accounts and showed similar morals to the Administration in keeping its books they would be put in gaol.” Governor Landou. the Republican candidate, at Topeka announced his sudden decision to campaign on the Pacific coast. A straw poll gives him a four to five chance in California.
