Roosevelt Praises Norris in Bid for Insurgent Votes
McCOOK, Neb., Sept. 28—(UP)— Declaring U. S. Senator Norris “a better Republican than President Hoover,” Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt tonight embraced the doctrines of the Nebraska progressive leader’s political liberalism in a bid for the mid-west’s so-called insurgent vote.
The Democratic presidential nominee praised Norris in his address here as a “gentle knight of American progressive ideals.” He added:
"To those who would say that Senator Norris has been no respec-tor of parties, I would add something more important.
