heard the call and the nation made
answer"
Governor Morrow attacked the
democratic national admin
for what he termed its hesitation
blunderding and stubborness and cal

bloody feuds of Europe.
Uphold American Heritage.
at is fitting, Mr.. Morrow said,

Governor Morrow continued At
home grave economic, industrial COG
ial and governmental problems press
for and demand solution, and upon
their proper solution depends the
prosperity, security, commercial and
fincial welfare of our people.
Demos Were Stubborn.
But, confronted at home with high
duties and most serious responsible
tiles, the present national admins
tration entrusted with the great pow
ers Of government, has halted and
hesitated and Numbered, while 1t bent
all of it's stubborness upon the task
of fastening upon 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 he
now seeks to place in his stead, have
for more than year, and are nov
seeking to strip us of our nation"
by clothing the nation in the, multip

colored garment of internationalism
to take from US our -sovereighnty-

WINGED that it will be in full accord

people. When you have spoken,
America will know that captain and
mate have turned the old ship of

the needs Of the hour-home, to keep

Acceptance BY Coolidge.
Northampton, Mass, July 27.-Res-
cue from the reactions of the war
was described as the transcedent
need of the nation, in the address
which Governor Coolidge delivered
here today in accepting formally the
republican nomination fer vice -presi
dent. The governor made his speech
of acceptance in response to Cover
nor Edwin P. Morrow Of Kentucky
who made formal announcement of
his nomination "by the spontaneous
wish or the party.
In part his speech of acceptance
was as follows:
ITO your now formal notification I
respond with formal acceptance.
Your presence tells me Of leader
and cause-a leader in Warren G..
Harding the united choice of a unit
ed party, q statesman of ability seas
oned by experience. fitting repre-
sentative of common aspirations Of
his fellow citizens, wise enough to
seek counsel, great enough to recog-
wart American. No one in public
life can be oblivious to organized eff
forts to undermine the faith of our
people in their government, foment
+, discord, aggravate Industrial life,
stifle production, and ultimately stir
up revolution. First duty of govern
ment is to repress them.
"To free people the most reac-
tionary experience, short of revolu-
the national at the present time is to
be rescued from the reactions Of the
war.
"The property of the nation is in
the hands of the people when 1t Is
under their ownership and control.
II is true that the control of part
of the property taken for war pur-
poses mas Deeu TeIuTuSU Out tucTe
hangs over private enterprise still
the menace of seizure, lighting in it's
effect, paralyzing in its result, to the
public detriment.N But II matters not
whether property be taken by seizure
or through the process Of extravagant
and unnecessary expenditures, there
should be an end to both operations.
Either the people must own the gov
eminent or the, government will own
the people. ~
Grave Public Concern.
another source of gravest public
concern has been the reactionary ten
dency to substitute private will for
the public will The observance of
the law is the greatest solvent of
public Ills.
There is yet another manifest dis
position which has preyed on the
weakness Of the race in its infancy,
the attempt to create class distinc-
tion. There are no classes here. The
government must look at the part, In
the light of the whole, that legisla-
tion must be directed not for private
Interest but for public welfare,
1"The mounting prices OF all sorts
Of commodities has put well nign
1nbearable burden on every home.
