Roosevelt Farm Speech Draws Mixed Kansas Reactions
Kansas editors and campaign observers assess Governor Roosevelt's Topeka farm address as a general critique of agriculture with vague immediate remedies. Critics note his three point plan lacks concrete measures, while long term policies rely on familiar approaches and caution about foreclosures. The debate centers on whether his proposals can deliver quick relief or require untested steps.

Roosevelt Attacks Washington Stir Publicity Draws Reactions

It questions his accusations on panic causes, liquor enforcement, and tariff stance, and mocks his critique as vague while suggesting his alliances with dangerous congressional figures. The piece notes Roosevelt’s apparent push toward socialistic ideas and calls the campaign vapid as it appraises his self-portrait of the President.
