STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent OLYMPIA STADIUM, DETROIT, Oct. 22. In an addres that bristled with indignation. President Hoover tonight accuser! Governor Roosevelt of "holding out frivolous promises" of goT; eminent jobs to the suffering unemployed. He called Roosevelt by name for the first hme.

Hoover declared that if re-elected and supported by Congress he would make even greater economies than have been, promised by his Democratic opponent for the Presidency. The President faced an audience of approximately 20,000 persons in Olympia Stadium, and upwards of 80,000 more-werjj i Final Plea From Home Is Urged On President By ANTHONY V. MOITORET As stubborn and bitter a political battle ss California ever has witnessed will mark the last fortnight of the contest for the state's 22 electoral vote's, at stake in the' Presidential election on November S. With Republicans determined to exert all their energies in the next two weeks to hold the President's home state in the Republican column and with many signs of a shifting tide from Roostvelt to Hoover to encourage them, the Democrats prepared to move up their heavy oratorical artillery in their drive to capture the state. The Democrats, it arpeared from developments yesterday, are to have the active aid, for whatever its value shall prove to be at.

the polls, of United States Senator Hiram W. Johnson, elected as a Republican and arch foe of the man sent to the White House from his own state. Following up Johnson's jump off the reservation, when he announced he would not support the President, word came yesterday that he will take the stum.i for Governor Roosevelt, making his debut at a. San Francisco rally next Friday night. JOHNSON'S TREACHERY CAUSES NO SURPRISE.

HooVef's loyal prO-fessing not to be surprised at John son's treachery at the eleventh hour of a campaign in which re covery of the nation from the wdrst economlo depression of history is at stake, were hopeful that the be tator's aid to the Democratic nominee might be offset by the return to California by the President ror his final appeal to the people on the eva, of eleatlonv '1 Party leaders, various organizations and campaigners who have visited the state have endeavored to persuade the President that there will be no question of California's electoral votes If he could come home to cast his ballot at Palo, Alto on election day. Suggestions have been made for a dramatic dash across the country, with a number of addresses en route, with his final word to tho voters of the nation being broadcast from his residence, on the Stanford University campus. No decision on such a plan has been reached, and thero may be reasons why It could not be undertaken, but it is regarded as certain that, should the President be unable to return home to vote, bi will speak over the radio with the people of California from the White House before they go toihe polls. Such a broadcast for the special benefit of the voters of the President's home state, according to Republican state headquarters, has been agreed upon if the journey home is Impracticable. MARKED PICKUP IN HOOVER SENTIMENT.

Reports reaching Republican headquarters from various parts of the state indicate that, although there is a marked pick-up in Hoover sentiment, California is still in the pivotal class. Each campaign address ofthe President improves the chances for Republican victory. The Intensified drive to lie launched in the closing fortnight of the campaign Is designed to mobilize the Hoover sentiment to the point where the President's own final appeal to his own state will furnish a comfortahle margin of victory. The Republicans, in the opinion ot most observers, are engaged in a race against time. Their cause has been advanced by such leaps and bounds since the President himself Jumped actively into the campaign and placed the facts before the people that It ls'generally agreed that if I he election were a month from Tuesday instead of two weeks off, any element of doubt about the California outcome would be eliminated.

Campaign workers, therefore, are bent on accomplishing in a fortnight what might ordinarily require a month ot effort. What makes success possible and even probable is the tremendous effeect of the President's speeches. SECRETARY HYDE TO SPEAK IN CALIFORNIA Chief among the coming week's Republican campaigners will be Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M. Hyde, who Is due to arrive In Los Angeles on Wednesday. He will move northward through tho Ban Joaquin Valley, speaking at BaU-ersfleld Friday noon and In Han-tord the same afternoon, with an address In Fresno scheduled for the evening.

The following morning he will stop over briefly In Ban Francisco, conferring with Mark L. Requa, Republican national commltteemap, and other party leaders, and then resume his journey, gblng to Santa for an address Saturday Next Saturday night he will address a mass meeting In Sacfamento. Other visiting campaigners who will fill speaking engagements In the cities' this week will hti George Qulllcl, Chicago attorney, and Randolph Crawford of Wlnslow, who was a. mine shift Doss when Herbert Hoovef worked In the mines. Also scheduled for 'the coming week is a series pt- speaking tours (Continued Page 2, Col, 6.) ALLEN 7B have split hairs in this A campaign about long enough.

Now we must take one side or the other, realizing, of course, that neither side is perfect. As between the Republican party 'and the Democratic party, so far as Uii; rank and file goes, there is no great difference. So far as their platforms go there is rio important argument for one side or the other At this stage of every Presidential campaign issues emerge quite apart from platforms and parties, sometimes even apart from the candidates themselves. But this year and at this time the issues are crystallizing around the candidates, Herbert Hoover and Franklin Roosevelt. No one claims either is perfect.

No one claims either is a villain or even a minor scarhp. They are both money honest. Neither has shown any particular greed for power. Each has magnanimous qualities. Both are good husbands, kind and indulgent fathers and patriotic citizens.

Yet the differences between these men a public men marks the issue in the campaign. Admitting' all the fine things that his admirers say of him, J'ranklin Roosevelt, who talks well, smiles! easily, writes charmingly, has all the graces of (iroton and Harvard, is not by any stretch of the imagination, a man of iron. It is not that Roosevelt "means well, but means well feebly," as Theodore Roosevelt once said of Taft; it is that Franklin Roosevelt means well amiably.

B. SCHVSTKR PALO ALTO, Oct. 22. Alonp in the middle ot the second quarter of thpir annual game with Stanford here today, a University nf Southern California team, which had been outplayed, found itself and took charge of the situation. I'p to the time the sun came out to warm the 60,000 persons present, the hoys from the South had made no first downs and had been called upon desperately to defend their goal line.

After that, offensively and defensively they were like their team of a year aso and the best that Pop Warner's Redshirts had to offer was so much meat upon their table. With forward pass and buck over the line, nflcr another pass had Invaded the Stanford territory, they scored two touchdowns which, with one conversion, made ihc score 3-0 and carried forward the recent tradition that Troy is the toughest citadel for Ihc Warner sang to tackle. TROJANS HAVE EDGE IN ALT, DEPARTMENTS The game was won by the Trojans largely because their defense was a little bciter than Stanford's and the offense several shades the better. All in all it was a defensive contest lacking the.spcctaculir which comes with the running attack, but it was evident after Truy had scored first that the Stanford early spark was gone and that the reverses, spinners, and laterals In the Warner list of ploys are no mystery to Howard Jones and his The first touchdown came shortly after Mohlcr, shifty quarter for the South, had returned a punt 24 yards to the Stanford 21-yard line. ivim had started ot quarter and wan now playing at full, gave the Cardinal stand, a scare worn wide nvtiund right end nd seemed to be In the clear.

But he was downed with only a three-yard gain. McNeisch, slim lad who has been learning how to pass the hall in truly expert manner went in for Clark and Warburton, the new speed boy of Troy, for Mohlcr. This was as good as a signal to the world that a pass was coming and It did.

BOAT CAPSIZES; 1 Washington's Kick for Goal After Touchdown Blows Wide: Score Is 7 to 6 Williams Is Star of Game. His 48-Yard Run and Toss Scoring All Points llv Al.T.X SHULTS 8FECTA1 BY WIRE TO THE TRIBUNE SEATTLE, Oct.

22. A whistling breeze that carried an-end over-end kick out of the way and a dive that failed tells the story ot Washington's football bubble. California's fiery sca-golng Benrs, with barnacle Bill Ingrnm skippering the crew, spnnkcd the Washington Huskies, 7 to 6, by the very slini margin of a try-for-polnt that worked against a try-for-polnt that didn't. Washington scored a touchdown In the first quarter when Art Ahonen, the phantom Finn, tossed a pass from niidfield into the nnxious arms of Bill Smith. Smith tucked the pigskin away and gan-dered 27 yards to a touchdown.

Paul Sulkosky planted his No. 10s back there fifteen yards or so and booted a beautiful kick, but that tricky wind, west by southwest, sent it. tumbling wide ot the uprights and iUdldn't count. WASHINGTON CHORTLES AT ITS SIX POINTS. "That's six points that look mighty good," smirked the Washington stands.

But the first, half wasn't over until Arleiuh Williams, a young man who spins find spins and spins, went spinning through a hole in the Washington line, spun away from a half dozen waiting arms ami was off to the races. His teammates chopped down Washington, tacklers as he sped 4S yards to the g-oal line. Came the big moment of the game, Williams marched back, doffed his hplmet and prepared to kick. When the ball sailed back he looked over the gleaming seams, as the Husky stands yoddled imperatively, "block that kick." Then li fired ti pass to Gus Castro, fur out on tho right side. Malt Miizzynskl.

DEFEAT ENDS HOPES OF II I 'SHIES FOR TITLE For Washington, the defeat meant the finish of its dream of Pacific Coaft conquest; for the Hears victory was rejuvenation, after wobbly start. Though il rained all morning 24,000 fans were In at the death, banked In the stadium on damp seats, skies shortly before game time gave the thousands hopes of a good day, but a shower at the start of the fourth quarter brought out umbrellas and blankets and another downpour at the finish of the game soaked homeward-bound crowds. The playing surface, though, was fust and dry until that fourth quarter shower. Bedcovers, the tarpaulin covering, snw to that.

But the rain didn't dampen the fire in the Husky camp tonight. Washington coaches and players thought they should have won, and protested against the officiating. DECISION GIVES CALIFORNIA CHANCE The principle decision under fire was one that gave California possession of the ball on Its own 33-yard line In the second period, when the Huskies apparently had It tucked away inside the Bears 20-yard strip. California started on Its own 22-yard line nnd two plays netted them a loss of nine yards. Hank Schaldach punted and Dave Nlsbet, rushing In fast, partly blocked the kick.

The ball sailed over the line of scrimmage ahd Sulkosky, catching it, ran out of bounds near the the 15-yard strip. Head lineman "Hub" Hubell called a tripping penally against Washington and Referee Tom Louttit stepped off 15 yards from the line of scrimmage and gave California the ball, which was right and proper. But Cnpt. Bill O'Brien of hc Huskies protested the decision. "Who ripped?" he suid he asked Huebel, bnt Iliiebel declined to answer.

The Husky enmp riles that one piny as the break of Ihc ball game. HUSKIES SEEMED TO liACit IN ATTACK On the other hand, we'll lay defeat to the lack of a consistent attack in Bear territory. Time and again the Huskies seemed started on their way to the goal line, but always they were plied up. Of course Washington was without Muczynskl, except for a few plays In the second quarter, and Johnny Cherbourg, atar quarter-back, still wobbly from Injuries in the Oregon game, didn't ee action until the last three minutes. CALIFORNIA'S CHARGE WAS "DYNAMITE" Everyone of those Husky forwards, with O'Brien, Frank Win-dust and Joe Wiantrak In the van, played smart but that California rharge dyamite.

22. (CPA) A miracle ot faith has happened. Hoover's managers now In large numbers think that, they can reelect him. They may be entirely in error in this thought. The striking fact Is that they actually entertain it.

It represents a profound change within them. A month ago they were essentially without hope. They were going through the mere form of a fight. When- speaking for publication, Ihey were of course predicting victory. When not speaking for publication, they were stagnant ponds of pessimism.

Now they spontaneously bubble with liveliness. They assert that a turn has come. On this point Ihey arc In a degree admittedly right, straw votes ami journalistic personal observations both Indicate that Hoover Is Rotting stronger. What Is puzzling is that his managers sincerely believe that his strength will rise to a height sufficient for the leap back into the White House. TAKE AN OPPOSITE VIEW.

On that latter and definite point the journalists are. still overwhelmingly of the opinion that Rflosevelt -cannot he 'overtaken. They regard him as being so fur ahead that he ran falter a lot and fall often and yet cross the tape-first. The Republican managers for the most part are now of a different view. They think that the changed- tide will float Hoover along the course to a triumphant finish.

They make these claims because of their most recent reports from their-oufity chairmen and proolnct worker. These gentlemen and ladies-f-Hcnd numerous communications to the Republican national headquarters in Chicago and to the subordinate Republican clearing house In New York City. "Spjtie of their stories seem almost fantastic. They Insist upon It that wholesale conversion of volcis b.T tbe tliiiiisaiids In their localities were nrcnnipllshcd hy Hoovcr'H speeches at Dcs Moines and nt Cleveland. This discovery of Hoover ns a spell-binder Is surely one of the great curiosities of America pollflcnji history.

A month axo, the common Republican feeling was thill few Presidents hnd ever equalled Hoover In dryness and uiiersunslvciiess of oratory. Now local Republican politicians all over the country arc clamoring to have him come and address their communities. ANTI-HOOVER FOLK CHANGE THEIIl MINDS. Even those of them who till now have been really anti-Hoover or at any rate, non-Hoover ore repenting and are re-entering the reservation. A remarkable instance of such a development is to be seen In Illinois.

The local Illinois Republican ticket a few weeks ago was holding itself well aloof from Hoover. It seemed to regard him as a liability. Now it has come to regard him ns an asset. Now it earnestly wishes him to deliver a speech in Chicago, Now It thinks that Hoover would not hurt but would help. Hence wonderful scene, here In Chicago, the other day of Republican fraternal affection.

On the platform was Lou Small. Republican candidate for Governor of Illinois. Beside him was Everett Sanders, chairman nf the Republican National Committee, nnd Hoover's principal campaign general, Not far away was Lyman Wilbur, Hoover's Secretary ot tbe Interior, and Hoover's most Intlmnte personal friend. Nearby was Frank L. Smith, Republican national committeeman for Illinois, mid not often previously regarded as any hot Hooverlte.

HOOVER WILL CARRY ILLINOIS SAVS SMAH4 "Hoover will carry Illinois," declared Small, The statement seemed so remarkable to listening Journalists, Including the present writer, that efforts were subsequently made to discover the genuine personal views of National Committeeman Smith, who' has a great reputation' as a prodicter of political events. The journalists were still more astounded and bewildered when they a length satisfied themselves that Smith really and truly and with his hand on hla heart was the possessor ot perfect confidence that Hoover on November 8 will inherit Illinois and Its 29 electoral votes. After that experience this writer was so numb that he had' no sensation of shock when talking on the next day with L. W. AInswortn, who Is In charge of our western discontented formers and of efforts to make them happier In the rooms rented by the Republican national headquarter in the Palmer house.
