P. BRANDS FUND AS PLAN TO BUY VOTES Money for Depositors in Closed Detroit Bank Also Denounced (Continued from Page 1) cratic national committee, also replied to the Republican charges in a speech at Wilmington, Delaware, tonight, with an assertion that "human suffering is no less in campaign times than in other times." "It happens that the payments are coincident with the imminence election," Farley said." "they are paid 8.8 they fall due. They paid at approximately the same last were. year when there was no election and they will be paid next year when there is no general election." Another new deal spokesman took a different slant at the talk about the disbursement of federal funds, Secretary Wallace, at his press conference, expressed regret at the use of farm benefit payments as cama paign arguments. "I think it is a bad precedent which was long ago started by the Republican party," said Wallace.
"Politicians of whatever party seem unable to rise above the temptation of using government expenditures as reasons for persuading voters." Wallace said a speech by former President Hoover in 1932 cited "great benefits accruing to California from government expenditures in that state." Not Peculiar to any Party "Speaking very seriously it is a mistake to get folks looking too much government for specific relief," Wallace continued. "It is a to, serious thing for politicians to feel a necessity to do that. However it isn't peculiar to the Democratic ptarty." Republican leaders, whose charges had stirred the flurry of administration statements, made no immediate reiterations. There were other political developments in plenty, however. As the final week of the campaign waxed warmer, Chairman Byrnes, of the senate campaign funds investigating committee, made public correspondence suggesting a "conspiracy' between Republican candidates in Pennsylvania to conceal expenditures.
Byrnes, a South Carolina Democrat, gave out a letter to Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania in which Byrnes said Donald Russell, committee investigator, had been informed Pinchot had evidence of such a conspiracy. It was, Byrnes said, a statement "prepared by two gentlemen, which statement discloses the existence of a conspiracy between Senator Reed and Mr. Schnader to conceal the expenditures" in behalf of Reed. Reed is running for re-election as a Republican and William S. Schnader is the Republican candidate for governor.
Byrnes called upon Pinchot to furnish his committee with any information he might have on the case. He said he felt a thorough investigation of Pennsylvania's primary should be made. With the election only six days off, party claims continued to conflict. Democratic chieftains reported to President Roosevelt that the party might gain in the as well as the senate. Republican spokesmen continued to predict gains in the house and refused to concede anything In the senate.
Politicians on both sides noted with Interest announcement by Senator Wagner, New York Democrat, that he would be unable to campaign In Wisconsin for Senator La Follette, who is running for re-election 88 A Progressive.

"But the threat of Socialism," the statement continued, "brought about by the nomination of Upton Sinclair, had put a stop to all progress since that time, and the action but reflects the deep concern with which the east generally is watching the outcome of the elections." Culbert L. Olson, Sinclair's head of the state Democratic central committee, who recently went to Washington but failed to see President Roosevelt, said: "The supreme court decision is a glorious thing at this time.
It will renew the spirits of those whom the special interests attempted to intimidate by using the attorney general's office in submerging the freedom and sanctity of the ballot."
