STABILITY IN BUSINESS
= know he said. what Is in your
minds today You want stability once
more for American business. you want
that confidence and security when
viii put an end To anxiety about pro-
duction; an end TO fear about buyfng4
an end to uncertainty about delivery
and distribution No abiding CONNER
cial edifce was ever builded on The
changing sands Of uncertainty
Everywhere there is the opinion
I6af We
government. unwilling to heed counsel
and advice. l want il explicitly un-
derstood that my election means a
complete change from the one man
policy that has characterized our ma
tionai government for the past seven
years.
DRIVEN TOWARD CHAOS
We have been driven toward chaos
not only by the unsuccessful attempts
TO mortgage American rights abroad
and 10 check American nationality
and honor at the cloak-room Of the
presidents league of nations at
Geneva. but we have been driven to-
ward chaos at home.
| 1t has 'becerns common knowledge
| that there are between 100000 and
| 500 900 persons on the payroll OF the
Z. S. who will be kept there unless
we have a new agreement
REPU UBLICASs SAVED DAY
only an intelligent opposition pre-
vented the present administration
| from spending over s1I.oe0.ooe in a
peace year. Only republican oppos.-
| tion to this reckless program reduced
the appropriations more than one
third and saved the people an amount
greater than the cost Of the whole
OF the railroads cost the people an
amount almost equal that spent by us
from 1851 to 1855 to preserve the
union.
"A nation which prides itself on its
| business sense has been forced 70 see
| its government twisted into mon
strosity Of waste and slipshodiness
An administration which could not
attend to its own business well with.
new economic theories With expert
| ments, with activities in which Il was
never intended government should
participate. and with laws and exscu-
tive orders which failed to curb prof.
| teering or contribute TO our high
standard of American business has
recahed out its hindering hands in
menace to American business ana
prosperity
From that unfortunate picture We
must now turn away of one man
| government We have had enough. We
| call aloud for the meeting of minds
Of united country.
4 like TO think OF a government
friendly to American business and un-
willing TO indulge itself in irritating
suspicion and interference loax
forward to government which will
| have the sense 10 keep out OF activi-
ties which good old American genius
/ and initiative can do better.
/ I do not want to sec American gov
] ernment engaging in American bust
ness. but 7 do want to see American.
| government a partner and friend to
! American business.
II want to see American business
methods and efficiency in American
! government look forward to such
| cessation of wastes al extravaganza
in Washington as viii enable US to
| cut down taxation. as. for instance
the excess profits tax. l look forward
/ to a working budget system
/ 1T is this expression. which address,
ed . all Americans, ask YOU to cary
wherever you GO"
