SIMPSON Associated Press Staff Writer The wav in which Russia's ill-starred Finnish campaign named office was used by his political foes to fight his candidacy for governor, charging that he derived excessive fees from his prosecutions as state's attorney. It was brought out that during his eight years incumbency the fees totaled $243,000 but a review by the Supreme Court showed that there was nothing irregular about the fees or the amount.

The Republican state convention then, after a deadlock of 21 days, nominated him for governor. He rolled up a large majority with the Roosevelt ticket in 1904 and was re-elected four years later. Seeking a third term in 1912 he was submerged in the Democratic wave blown up by Roosevelt's Bull Moose defection. Governor Deneen and his Illinois delegates had supported Roosevelt for the Re Ex-Senator Chas. $.

The chief executive concluded by stating the Federal Reserve Board's index of production climbed 64 per cent, from 64 to 105, between 1932 and 1939.

More Mathematics The press conference got off to a mathematical start in another direction when the President said he wanted to bring to the attention of the people the fact that since the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation started operating in 1933, 315 insured banks had closed. There was an account of that on the financial pages of morning newspapers, he said, but most people skip those pages. The 315 banks, Mr. Roosevelt continued, had .877,000 depositors with $294,000,000 in the banks. Those depositors with less than $5,000 each on deposit and their sums represented 97 per cent of total deposits got paid immediately, he said.

He expressed opposition, however, to complete insurance of deposits up to $10,000, contending that people with more than in the bank could take care of themselves. Freshmen Leave For Poultney This P.

Since it takes some time for government revenues to catch up with a higher national income, Mr. Roosevelt said there would be a lag of about a year between the time when the people counted up $80,000,000,000 in their collective purses and the date when the budget could be balanced.

Can't Forecast Income Whether it might be possible for income to reach the 000.000 goal this year, Mr. Roose-, velt did not care to say. There are too many international coef-'-ficients in the situation, he said, to allow him to prognosticate for 1940.

Car formerly carried by the States and municipalities, such as a large share of the relief burden.

He recalled that in 1930 to 1932, when he was governor of New York, the State had paid 100 per cent of the costs of all relief work. Picking up his memorandum again, Mr. Roosevelt read that dividends received by individuals profits of corporations advanced 55 per cent, from in 1932 to $4,253,000,000 in 1939. Not Doing So Badly So it doesn't look as if everybody who was in business, was doing so badly, he interjected. In 1932, he said, non-agricultural employment was 27,245,000 and in 1939 it was 28 per cent higher at 34.940,000.
