One of the most pleasing reports made to campaign leaders today was the announcement of a contribution from the staff and employes oi the Wabash Hospital here. "We hope this is just a start, an indication oi what other groups and organizations will give," one of the campaign leaders said.

"It is a most pleasing contribution to a worthwhile cause," ne Moberly Players Are Included in All-State Orchestra WARRENSBURG, Oct. 19 all-state high school orchestra of 170 pieces will play the night of November 10 at Convention Hall in Kansas City as part of the program of the meeting of the State Teachers Association, Prof. Paul R.

Wabash shopmen are to contribute to the urive in spite ot scant work auring the past several months. They will make their own drive among their ranks. Charles C.

"Give to the Needy" Week Whiln the campaign ior the needy has been AUet'-j start' ever known here, there is much work yet to be done and it may take the balance of the week to reach the goal of Drive leaders expect to make it a "give to the needy" week ana uige all persons to be ready fo7 the solicitors who will visit every house and place of business as fast as they can see everybody.

Nobody is to be missed in the campaign to provide relief tor Moberly's own unfortunates. The names of every worker and every business house have been card- indexed in the Welfare Society files and a response from each of these There requested, is no attempt at ballyhoo or forced appeals as workers make their rounds. Solicitors are asking the people to open their hearts to people in want of the necessities of life. Conditions are well known, they point out, in asking for help for the needy, and Moberly must do her part for her citizens who a short time ago were themselves contributors to funds for unfortu- nates. Contributions may be made in cash or partly in cash and the balance payable in three installments during next year.

City on Trial Moberly will not secure federal relief funds until she has made her own effort towards providing for her needy. And there is a crying need for help both from home folks and that which can be secured from the government. The campaign places the city on trial before her people-those with jobs and means before those without work and food. II is not believed that Moberly will fail, but drive captains urge thai citizens realize their duty and give to those who are suffering.

ROOSEVELT NEW YORK, Oct. 19. IP--Secretary of State Henry L. Stimson urging re-election of President Hoover, says that his program to save our "tottering institutions" during the "terrible financial panic" last winter was without precedent in "its compresensive- ness, courage and originality." "With the adoption of these measures, the panic the secretary said last night in an ad dress at the National Republican Club. Attacking Governor Roosevelt he said that when the hope of re covery was hanging in the balance "Mr.

Roosevelt made an attack upon this beneficient process which had just begun." "He made a speech on the 'for gotten man' in which he asserted struction Finance Corporation vere distributing were not rcach- ng the small people and the small banks and institutions of the coun- but were being put solely at the disposition of the big banks, railroads and the big corporations." Mr. Stimson said this "incredibly reckless" statement was a "complete misstatement of facts" and Mr. Roosevelt has since, in part, retracted it. He said that by speech Mr. Roosevelt "not only dealt a blow at our recovery, but he had shown that he could seek to inflame class prejudices at the very time other men, re- jardless of party, were seeking to serve the nation."

P. Charges That His Election Would Make Things Worse By WALTER T. BROWN Associated Press Staff Writer ISLAND STADIUM, WHEELING, W. Oct. 19.

If--Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democratic presidential nominee, speaking here today asked "are you afraid of a change" in presidents and a chorus of "no's" rolled back from the crowd gathered in the high school stadium on an island in the Ohio river. Police estimated that more than 10,000 persons were in the grandstands and on the athletic field. The Democratic candidate challenged the claimed Republican contention that "things will be worse if I am elected" and declared that "what is wrong with the nation" is "mismanagement." Speaking after a motor drive from Pittsburgh, Mr. Roosevelt said "You have had placed before you the spectre of fear by the Republican candidate and the Republican leaders.

You have been told that things might have been worse, ana will be worse if I am elected to office. But I say to you, 'yes, things might have been worse; indeed we might all of us have been destroyed. But on the other hand remember that things might have been better, should have been better, and will begin to get better with a change of administration on the 4th of March'." If this nation wants to know "what is wrong with its national government, I will give them the answer in one word, said Mr. Roosevelt. "That word is 'mismanagement'." "I refuse to that the people of the nation bo iniiciu to fear false bogies," said the Democratic nominee.

Scores Campaign Talk He asserted: "To attempt to instill panic into the electorate at a time when we must all have courage and a firm oellef that the American characteristic of finding answers to problems will bring us back on the upward trail, is a method of campaigning which does little credit to leaders still at this time entrusted with the welfare of the United States." Mr. Roosevelt said "things might have been worse" if it were not for two things, the Federal Reserve system and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The Federal Reserve System, he continued, "was the product of a Democrat--Carter Glass" and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation "is as much a Democratic measure as a Republican measure, for it was passed in a spirit of bi-partisan co-operation in congress." "But," he added, "this measure was not due to the creative genius of Republican leadership, for it Democrats Given Hopes of Victory in Pennsylvania HARRISBURG, Oct. 19 IP --Hosts of rural voters, reinforced by women, are clamoring at the gates of Pennsylvania's political powers. Across the rolling farm lands and quiet villages between Philadelphia's skyline and Pittsburgh's steel mills, lies the shadow of a new threat to domination of city leadership.

It was only a rumble of discontent a few years ago, but with the registrations recently tabulated, it is seen by many veteran leaders in the great industrial and commercial centers as a distinct challenge. And it stands as a giant question mark over the coming presidential election. Democrats, noting the rising tide of enrollment in the rural centers and the dropping of registration in the cities, assert that for the first time since the Civil war, Pennsylvania will turn in a plurality for their presidential candidate. Republican leaders, however, reply that Pennsylvania will give President Hoover a greater majority than it did in 1928.

Of that speech, he said: at Pittsburgh I shall outline another cause which undor Republican leadership has had a major effect upon our present condition and I shall once more explain a workable program to remedy the situation."

Park, Democratic nominee for governor, made the second speech of his campaign here this morning.

Roosevelt. He also advocated the election of Democratic state candidates. Senator LaFollette said that while he had "no illusions about either of the two old political parties," he felt that progressives of both parties could expect some cooperation from Roosevelt but ut all from President Hoo- vei. The Republican candidates for governor and senator, ho charged, attained victory through a "slush fund." It was evident, Senator LaFollette said, that Hoover would block progressive measures in congress while Roosevelt "indicates a willingness to cooperate with progressives on legislative action to meet the extraordinary (economic) crisis. I shall, therefore, vote for Governor Roosevelt, because I believe he offers the only immediate hope for the relief of 10,000,000 unemployed men, women and children, and 6,000,000 farmers, who with their families, are threatened with the loss of their entire stake in our economic order," the senator said.
