adopted in March by the Republi-

the election of the party's two
great standard-bearers. Herbert
Hoover and Charles Curtis.
''In all parts of the country in
dications point Enthusiastically to the
fact that the Republican margin
of control in the new congress will
be materially increased by the cleo
tion of additional Republicans to
both branches" said the speaker.
Without referring to Senator Ship
stead's candidacy, Nelson added:
cit thus becomes apparent that any
member who is outside the domi-

influence in obtaining constructive
legislation in the interests of his
constituents"

with similar interests in other parts
of the country. ~-
The discrimination in freight
rates as between the east and west
coasts and the middle west.
The vital Importance of estab-
fishing and maintaining adequate
transportation on the Mississippi

Of the two presidential candi-
dates" said the speaker, Herbert
Hoover alone has given the farmer
adequate assurance that relief will
be promptly forthcoming. He
alone has advanced practical sug-
gestions for the solution of the
farm problem-a tariff that pro-

and increased river development,
and ample resources and govern
