 to Democratic AdherentS

Kansas City. June if. R1peclar- ing the republican party would not shlrk its responsibility toward agri- culture, Senator Moses of New Hampshire. as permanent chairma Il of the national convention, told the assembly yesterday that the party would enter the campaign Fin no posture of defense"
 Party is Militant
 We come up on the field aggres- sively militant" he said. We in- tend to carry this fight to the en- emy. And we challenge them to bring forth their strongest cham pion.
 The honor you have conferred upon me is very great" the chair man began, and I thank you for it. The duties which your generous action lays upon me may prove to be difficult. but I hope to be- able to perform them satisfactorily.
 We come now to the central and most important tasks for which we

 Not Barren of Timber
 Upon the platform which we shall thus reconstruct we shall place a candidate whose personality fits our principles and the nations pres- ent necessities. We are not barren Of presidential timber. However. our choice may fall, we know it will not rest in unworthy hands and that
