inclusion of their schedule of minimum

shillings and two shllings minimum.
Although the tension has been re-
laxed greatly and the debate may bc

In the days debate. Austen Cham.

carry out any part OF the policies of
Its platform. Much OF the speech was
devoted 20 an analysis OF the Pro

said in part:
Il have come here tonight for the
purpose OF discussing just as candidly
as POSSIBLE the political situation:
and j hope that in doing so I shall do
injustice to no one. ] am not one Of
those who believe that the right
tactics In politics is to depreciaie the
men you are opposed 70 and TO belit-
tie and mispepresent the forces with
which you have TO contend.
Il want to discuss the three par
ties now seeking your support. I
know there are more than three par
ties I'm the United States and Il is not
out OF any disrespect to the parties
that have commanded only small
number OF votes I'm the past that
leave them out OF the reckoning for
the present.
Let us consider. first, the Republi-
can party. There is a great deal OF
difference between the Republican
party and certain groups OF gentle
men who have been allowed TO lead
and direct the Republican party. The
Republican party. as represented By
these men. Is the very party which
has got us into the difficulties we are
now trying to get out OF. do not
have to prove that, because We have
got into those difict1ties In the last
fifteen years. and during the last Of
teen years that party has been in
power II IL did not get us into these
difficulties. who did?
Here is the old question Of cam
paign funds. II ! take a hundred
thousand dollars from n group OF men
representing a particular interest that
Las big stake in a certain schedule

edge that those gentlemen will expect

ule. Therefore. II take their money
