SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 26.—(U P)—Bainbridge Colby, secretary of state under Woodrow Wilson termed President Hoover “the diminishing figure in the White House” tonight in the first of a series of addresses sponsored by progressive organizations.
United States Senator Hiram Johnson, Progerssive Itepublican, was to speak Friday night on behalf of the candidacy of Franklin D. ROosevelt. Johnson, leader of the state’s “Progressive Republican Roosevelt league,” was expected to praise Roosevelt as a progressive and attack the nominee of his own party as ultra-conservative.
“The change is at hand,” Colby declared in his address. “In bringing it to pass lies the hopes of the nation for rescue from our ills and a brighter prospect for the future.
“The laudatory orations which members of the cabinet were weaving around the diminishing figure in the White House will not profit him. Such high-blown panegyrics from men who have received office at his hands will nei ther deceive nor impress the people.”
Colby termed Governor Roosevelt “a practical statesman.” The Democratic nominee’s record as governor of New York in dealing with stabilization of industry and relief of distress was declared tc be ln contrast with Mr. Hoover’s activities as president.
