z. f. flying veteran, candidate Tor

maries, addressed the convention

IN his speech to the convention
this morning, Mr.. Kenny outlined
the Importance of economic anu
industrial question to the voters
this year, especially the workers.
''As America has developed IN
dustrially and commercially." ne
said, "the sphere of legislation IN
both the state and nation has
come to be largely occupied by
economic problems. The tariff,
taxes, railroad legislation-alll
these are economic questions, anu
Congress in the future Will more
ana more EUS CdlASo EupoA ~ 80 -
these problems. e.
"a candidate for Congress to-
day is candidate for membership
on most important board Of dlrec-
tors in the world, for the United
States is a great industrial organ
ization involving the rights of in
vested capital not only, but the
human rights Of men and women
who work in industry Safe and
sane craftsmanship will take cog
nizance Of this fact, and intelll-
gent voters will weigh carefully
in the balance of public opinion
the men who offer themselves for
public service. The faithful will
4 be rewarded by the suffrage of the
people, but the unfaithful and
weak-hearted will be driven from
public life.
Discussing the judiciary, Mr..
Kenny said that the only way In
which the voters may indicate
their approval or disapproval OF
federal judges is through hold
ing to a Strict accountability the
public servants who recommend
Judges and who appoint them to
office"
Continuing along this line. Mr..
Kenny said, It is not possible for
the voters under our form of gov
eminent to remove federal judges
from bench, but every reactionary
Judge has behind him the two
senators from his state, who rec,
ommend his appointment and the
President who named him for
office. These officials are subject
to the approval or disapprovalg OF
the voters, and if they only hold
them responsible it is reasonable
to expect a higher standard o.
judges and an improved and more
humane judiciary"
