III the Republican party for Vicc-President.
ssThe west called to the cast. North
and south heard the call and the nation
made answer"
Governor Morrow attacked the adj
ministration for what he termcd its
hesitation, blunde ring and stubtornness
and called the League Of Nations an
attempt to bind the United States to the
bloody feuds of Europe.
at is fitting" he said, that in Massa-
chusetts, at this fountain oil American
inspiration, we solemnly determine that
the heritage which made us free, lnde-
nendent and prosperous, shall not be
bartered for mess OF unknown pottage.
"You arc called to serve your country
in time of your country's need. AZ
home gave economic, industrial, SOCIAL
and governmental problems have too
long in the past and now continue to
press for and demand solution, and upon
their proper solution depends the pros
perity. security, commercial and financial
welfare of our people. -, -,
But, confronted at home with hlgh
duties AMI most serious Responsiveness,
the present national administration, en-
trusted with the great powers OF govern,
n,ent has halted and hesitated and
Numbered while it bent all of its stubborn
energies upon the task of fastening on our
country all of the ills of the world. The
| President and all those who In the past
| have bowed to his will, and he whom nc
| has covered with his mantle, committed
! TO his policies and whom he now seeks
! To place in his stead, are seeking to stripus
of our nationalism by clothing the nation
| inthe multicolored garments OF information
alisrn; to take from us our sovereignty
| and so, through a league OF nations, 10
bind us to the bloody feuds OF Europe,
to make us the guarantors OF shutting,
vanishing boundary lines To the ends OF
| the earth. and TO involve us In the greed
| and strife and confusion of the old world.
! With such issues confronting the
| country, Governor Morrow asserted,
| Governor Coolidge was called upo n to
serve with leader who has spoken
| clearly. bravely and convincingly.
"His voice rings out now like bugle
through the land" he said. We now
| await your message, convinced that 1T
will be in full accord with the time
honored time-proven policies OF the
Republican party, and that IT will pro-
claim our party's principles OF service
| to the nation and its people. when
YOU have spoken America will know that
captain and mate have turned the old
| shin OF state from her wandering
| home. to the needs OF the hour-home,
to keep all and to save all that the past
gave and which the future promises
| home, to solve our problems here and to
| fulfill. as we have always done, our full
| share of world responsibility.
Rescue from the reactions Of war was
described az the transcendent need of the
nation in the address which Governor
Coolidge delivered in accepting the nom
nation THE chief task that lies before
us. he said. "is to repossess the people Of
their government and their property"
He found another source of gravest
public concern to be "the reactionary
tendency TO substitute private will for
the public will"
"The observance of the law" he said,
lis the greatest solvent of public ills"
REVISION or TAXATION.
He declared that extravagant stand
ards of government expenditures bred Of
recent wears must be eliminated and that
q revision Of taxation must be accompanied
bv n reduction Of private extravaganza.
He urged better facilities for adjustment
of industrial disputes The need of the
farmers, he said. was an enlarged power Of
organization whereby the original pro-
Queer might profit 20 a larger degree by
the high prices paid for his produce by
the ultimate consumer and at the same
time decrease the cost of food.
