By EDWARD W. PICKARD XTO GKEAT effort on t'-e part of 1 candidates and campaign lead en was neceggarj to keep the minds of the American people on politics (Siring the week. But the effort ef-fort was made nevertheless." Both President Hoover a b A Ooip r n a r Roosevelt were out again- on speaking tours, and eminent men nf both ma lor f. ' j parties pleaded for kVJM the votes of the Gov. Ritchie of the country. In - the Middle West the chief speaker for the Democrats was Gov. Albert Ritchie of Maryland, Mary-land, one of the aspirants for the Presidential nomination In the Chicago Chi-cago convention, .lie debated Issues Is-sues And candidates with Henry Al len of the Republicans, In Chicago, end delivered other addresses there and elsewhere, and all the time he stressed the Importance of the prohibition pro-hibition Issue. , Governor Roosevelt in his own behalf spent eight days speaking In Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Springfield, Spring-field, III., St. Louis end down through Kentucky and Tennessee to Atlanta ; and then up througL South and North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland, to deliver the last of his major addresses In Baltimore. President Hoover's Journey was a. week-end trip whose main objective objec-tive was Detroit On the way to the Michigan metropolis he made brief stops and talks at Charles-town, Charles-town, W7 Va., at Columbus and Toledo To-ledo In Ohio, and several other placea The President's aids said he had developed a liking for rear platform campaigning as a result of his trips to Des.

There was nothing surprising In the announcement of the La Toilette Toi-lette organ In Madison, Wis., that the La Follette faction (n that state would support Mr, Roosevelt, : Rev. , James It. Cox,, Catholic priest of Pittsburgh, Withdrew as the Presidential Presi-dential candidate of the Jobless party and urged all his followers to support Roosevelt; This . was quite within his rights, but his public pub-lic statement that President Hoover "never lifted a hand or raised a voice to relieve the suffering American Amer-ican people" Is an example of either Inexcusable mendacity or deplorable Ignorance, 7 Secretary of State Stlmson got Into action In New York, attacking the records of both Roosevelt and Garner. Charles M. Schwab, Inter-Tlewed Inter-Tlewed In London, said he believed "the best way to better conditions Is to re-elect Mr. Hoover." NEW YORK city is In such a distressing dis-tressing financial condition that tbe banken have' refused to ad ranee funds for the November pay roll, and told the men who are running run-ning the metropolis they would not save it from bankruptcy unless the budget were radically reduced. So -the budget makers got together and lashed off approximately $75,000.-' $75,000.-' 000. which the bankers said was not nearly enough. A large part of the savings planned by the board of estimate es-timate was through the adoption of a fifty-year subway bond scheme. This. It was admitted, spelled the doom of the 6-cent fare to which New York has clung so tenaciously. It was believed a 10-cent fare would be established within a year or two. Acting Mayor McKee tried to put Into effect wholesale salary reduc tions and elimination of workers In ver-staffex. departments, but the Tammany bloc would have none of this.

The Immediate practical prac-tical effect of the renunciation of the trade treaty will be to deprive British consumers of large quan titles of low-priced lumber, flsh and grain. Secretary Thomas told the house also that the British negotiations with President De Valera of the Irish Free State has broken down and that De Valera contends the only permanent solution of the controversy con-troversy would be the creation of a united Irish republic la dumping abroad to the detriment REPORTS made public in Washington Wash-ington were both good and bad. Putting the latter first, the treas ury Issued figures of the receipts and expenditures during July, August Au-gust and September showing that the deficit of the first quarter of the fiscal year Is $402,000,000, a rate which if kept up would send the treasury into the red to the tune' of $1,600,000,000. Tbe new In come taxes coupled with high col lections on miscellaneous taxes enacted en-acted in the new billion dollar tax bill last spring are counted on to hold this deficit down during tbe final months of the year. Statistics given out by the De partment tvf Commerce showed that the export trade of the United States In September, due principally princi-pally to exceptionally large ship-, ments of cotton, Increased over the value for the previous month, by a margin of $23,000.000-the largest monthly gain recorded so far this year. Imports likewise showed an Increase In-crease In September, as compared with August, the department stated, although It was less pronounced' than the gain in export trade. During Dur-ing the month. It was shown. Imports Im-ports increased by $7.5)00,000 to total to-tal $!)8,000,000, or the highest monthly month-ly Import level since June. The United States during the month retained a favorable balance of trade amounting to $34,000,000. It was the largest favorable trade margin recorded In any month of this year.
