EN ROUTE TO INDIANAPOLIS. Oct. 24 (1.N.5.). Carrying his presidential campaign Into the battleground of Indiana, Governor Alfred M. Landon today pledged an administration, if elected President, that would con cern itself with the economic rights and opportunities of the average man. The Republican nominee was in fine trim, although still a little hoarse from a slight cold and voice strain. He was scheduled to deliver a major address tonight in Indianapolis, possibly on the subject of foreign affairs, before resinning his transcontinental tour to the Atlantic seaboard. Landon had traveled nearly 4,000 miles since leaving Topeka last Sunday night. This is a fighting campaign in Indiana as everywhere else, said Landon, on entering the Hoosier State. For Average Man It is a fighting campaign on the part of Republicans and Democrats for good government. He said: "We want a government that is concerned about the economic rights and opportunities of the average man. We want a gov ernment that is also concerned about the pocketbooks of every body. We are all paying taxes every day of our lives. "This is serious business to all of us. The kind of govern ment that we are going to live under and do business under in our local communities, in our State and in our nation is al ways serious business. "So I have weighed very care fully every word and every pledge that I have made in this campaign. I shall con tinue to do so." In Baltimore Monday Landon will remain in Indian apolis until 2:15 tomorrow after noon. His next stop will be in Balti more Monday morning when he speaks at 10:45 a. m., arriving at the Mount Royal Station. From there, he will go to Philadelphia, arriving at 1:20 p. m. for a speech at Convention Hall in the City of Brotherly Love at 9:30 that night.

Then, turning back toward Topeka to complete an 8,000-mile trip, he will close his campaign with a final address in St. Louis next Satur day night. Landon came eastward after making a direct appeal to Demo crats to place "love of country above fealty to party name." He told Oklahoma audiences President Roosevelt has forfeited the right to Democratic partisan support by his abandonment of Jeffersonian principles and the Democratic plat form of 1932. Landon also took occasion to blast a Democratic campaign charge that his economy had de prived 8,557 boys and girls of a common school education in Kan sas by closing schools. James Roosevelt, son of the President, made this charge in a recent New England speech. "Peddling a Lie." Landon declared that anyone who made the charge was "guilty of peddling a lie." He called it "deliberate falsification," and added: "When utterly untrue charges are openly made by a member of my opponent's fam ily, as a Kansan my indigna tion knows no bounds." Landon boasted that Kansas ranks fifth in literacy among the States and bows to only "two or three other States" in the percentage of children in high schools.

Interest centered on the repre sentatives of the Chilean, Mexi can and United States Army teams. Each had scored on. opening day, Thursday and yesterday the Amer ican military men made a credit able showing. Jumping Resumed Today's military feature will be the resumption of the inter national team jumping which got under way Thursday. With only eight faults marked against them the Chileans will be in the lead when the class begins at mid afternoon. United States with 11 2 faults is in second place and the Mexicans to date are trail ing with 31*2 faults. The hunter sweepstakes last event of today's program, can hardly bring anything but vic tory to Mrs. John Hay Whitney's mounts, who have had things pretty much of their own way in many of the events so far. The Llangollen Stables has en tered six horses and the only Lieut. Luis Perez, of the Chilean Army team, has recovered from his fall of yesterday and was re leased from Walter Reed Hos pital but will not be permitted to ride in today's events. Perez,.one of the outstanding sUrs of the entire field may be replaced, it was believed, by Captain Eduardo Yanez in the international mili tary jumping. Whether the sub stitution will alter Chile's chances was problematical. Perez took a bad spill yesterday when Valiente shied at a barrier.

The University of Maryland is inde pendent from both political and religious standpoints." It was also pointed out that the employes of the university are members of the Maryland Civil Service. Benefits Cited The letter read: "During the last two or three years the University of Mary land has, as you no doubt real ize, benefited considerably from the Roosevelt Administration. "In Baltimore, sufficient Fed eral funds have been procured to enable the university to com plete its new hospital, and also to reconstruct its old hospital building into the present excel lent dispensary unit. "In College Park. Federal funds allocated by the Roose velt administration aided in the construction of a new women's dormitory and in the completion of a much larger arts and sciences building than the State had provided for, and also in the remodeling of the old dairy building into the present splen did structure. INCOME BOOSTED "The Roosevelt administra tion, further, has provided for the construction of a model group of dairy barns, which will give the university facilities it has sorely needed for years. Funds also have been provided for further campus work, to be carried out as soon as labor is available. "In addition to these factors, the new Bankhead-Jones act, passed under President Roose velt's administration and signed by him, has materially increased the Federal income of the uni versity for research, extension and resident education. For further maintenance, the Fed eral Government is providing during the current year some $50,000 to students in the uni versity to help them get a col lege education. "The campaign committee for Maryland, charged with a part of the responsibility for reelect ing Mr. Roosevelt and of carry ing Maryland for him. believes that employes of the University of Maryland, because of benefits the university has received under Mr. Roosevelt's direction, desire to aid in the reelection of Mr. Roosevelt for another four years. However, in carry ing on this campaign, the com mittee naturally finds itself in need of rather large funds to de fray the costs, and, in view of the keen interest that you un doubtedly have in the Roosevelt administration, invites you to contribute whatever you feel you can to the funds now being raised to pay the cost of the campaign in this State." --VOTE AMERICAN-- Steamers Collide SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24 (I.N.S.).--Two steamers, the Mau nalei and the Temple Moat, col lided today off Race Rock in Puget Sound, near Seattle, according to a radio dispatch intercepted here.
