Mr.. Dave referred to those in the
state who declare that society is all
wrong. He declared that they could
be found in every state and in every
intelligent nation in the world. Those
who say that private ownership is all
wrong-that capitalism is all wrong.
He referred to an article in twin
city paper which quoted him as call
ing Lindberg, candidate for United
States senator, a "jackass."
In his talk against the wave OF
country through the talks of agita-
tors he made reference to the poll
cies of the dentist senator from
Minnesota. He defended the FEEDER
al Reserve act and Farm Loan act,
which he said that the agitators
were attempting to do away with.
He declared that since the entry in

you men tonight is that in this mo-
ment of tremendous physical and
mental changing of times. you
speak the truth and in argumen
with those who are In utter ignor-

the big men with big ideas that
think big things, that make this
blessed country OF ours what it Is.
And yet there are those who with
their incessant rawlings up and

citizens Of this nation-one against

"The problem here is for you men
who think clearly, in relationship to
politics and business in general. to
think out loud in the presence of
