his platform on national and inter-
national issues. Instead of bolting the

other views on important subjects:
II favor material aid for the soldiers.
especially for those who suffered physi-
cally and mentally, and shall do my
part in assisting to find means to pro-
Vide necessary funds.
II am strongly opposed TO the Ford
ney-McCumber bill. which raises the
cost of food and the other ..eccssities of
life and which will result Iii monstrous
profiteering.
"a permanent non-partisan commits
sion, which ] believe Is practical, can
render real service in establishing
scientific basis for tariff schedules.
This plan. too. should result in taking
the tariff problem as far as possible out
of politics.
II favor the removal of illiteracy
throughout the United States.
II believe in adequate financial sup
port for the children's bureau. the
womens bureau In the Department of
Labor, the home demonstration work in
the Department of Agriculture. for rural
hygiene and for every other activity
making for the prosperity and health OF
the people of the United States"

In that institution. and to quote him

these men told me. Think Of condition

1T Is strange that Mr.. Calder has not
discovered long before now now these
men are suffering because OF red tape,
neglect and the utter impotence OF the
Republican Government to give these

"If the campaign resulted In nothing
