Il repeat that there Is nothing In any
Democratic utterance upon which fear OF
an attack upon the supreme court can be
founded. The construction put upon the
expressions In the Democratic platform OF
1926 which were perverted and miscon-
strued as a basis for such charges, was
unwarranted and untrue. No such pur-
pose has ever entered the mind OF any
Democrat. but the leading idea with Dem
ocrafs everywhere Is to return to the
principles OF the constitution and 10 faith
fully administer the law "a written"
