OHIO SENATOR ISSUES
 HIS PERSONAL PLANKS
 ID MONSTER ASSEMBLY Y
Government By Party Not By IndjUidual Is His Refes11ing Plar; Aid For Farmer And LabOrer Is His Ambition

With a senate advising as the con stitution contemplates, I would hope fully approach the nations of Europe and of the earth, prposing that under standing which makes us a willing participant in the consecration of na- tions to a new leadership, to commit the moral forces of the world, Amer ica included to peace and interna- tional justice, still leaving America free, independent and self-reliant, but offering friendship to all the world"
 Declaring railway employs ought to be the best paid in the world, the candidate emphasized the responsi- biiity of such service and added: "The government mig ght we Il stamp railway employees with the sanctity of public service and guaran- tee to railroad employees that justice which voices the American conCeP- ton of righteousness on the one hand and assures continuity of service on the other"
 In his reference to prohibition and law enforcement he said: People ever will differ about the wisdom ot the enactment of a law-there is di- Ivided opinion regarding the eight eenth amendment and the laws en- acted to make it operative-but there can be no difference of opinion about honest law enforcement. Modiiica- ton or repeal is the right of free people, whenever the deliberate and intelligent public sentiment com mands, but perversron and evasion mark the paths to the failure of gov ernment itself"
 The Plight Of Agriculture ! In his speech Of acceptance the sen ator made plain his stand on agricul- 1 ture as a basic industry. Here are ihis own words on that matter and also some of his promises on other pressing things:
 Our platform is an earnest pledge of renewed concern for this most es- seutial and elemental industry, and 1T both appreciation and interest we pledge effective expression in law and practice. We will hail that coopera, ition which again will make profitable and desirable the ownership and op' eration of comparatively small farms iintensively cultivated, and which vii facilitate the caring for the produc- ducts of farm and orchard without the lamentable waste under present conditions.
 America would look with anxiety on the Encouragement of farming ac- tivitv either thro.gh the govern ments neglect or its paralysis by so' cialistic practices. A republican ad- ministration will be committed to re. newed regard for agriculture and seek the participation of farmers in curing the ills justly complained of, and ain 10 place the American farm where Il ought to be-highly ranked ill Amer ican activities and fully sharing thG highest good fortunes of American i life.
 Becomingly associated with this subject are the policies of irrigation and reclamation, so essential to az ricultural expansion, and the contin- ned development of the great and wonderful west. It is our purpose tc continue ard enlarge federal aid, not ! in sectional partiality. but to the good of all America. We hold to that har- mony of relationship between con- servation and development, which lit tingly appraises our national re sources and makes them available to developing America of today, and still holds to the conserving thought for the America of tomorrow.
 The federal governments relation Ito reclamation and development, Is too important to admit of ample dis cussion today. Alaska alone is in re, sources beyond all imagination, and a governmental policy that both safe gards and encourages development to speed it to a foremost position as COllllllOllNCdllllr luSSON lli Ni'i1Ni' ship and rich in materialized re- sources.
 i These things l can only mention i Within becoming limits one can say more. Indeed, for the present, many questions of vast importance must be hastily passed, reserving a fuller dis cussion to suitable occasion as the campaign advances.
 Budget System
 I believe the budget system will et- feet necessary. helpful reformation, and reveal business methods 10 gov ernment business.
 Productive U. S. Employees
 s believe federal deparments should be made more businesslike and send back to productive effort thousands of federal employees who are either duplicating work or not Essential:
