relief" and "would mean so large an
increment in farmers prices as to
warrant their construction many times
over There is no more vital method
of farm relief
Dealing with the third phase of this
plan, we quote direct. An outstanding
proposal of the party program is the
Whole-hearted pledge TO undertake the

TEN upon sounder and more econo-
mical lines This Mr. Hoover states
Will be accomplished through the es-
| adjustment of a federal farm bureau
Of representative farmers. A board,
he states, that will have fully author
lily to aid and stabilize but especially
build up with federal finance farmer
co-operatives that are now in exist
ence and which will protect the pro-
Queer from seasonal gluts and peri
odieal SURPRISES.
The nominee has little patience
! with those who say that this plan
will cost money. and concludes this
part of his speech in these words:
a nation which is spending 80 bill
lions a year can we'll afford an ex-
penditure of a few hundred million
for a workable program that will give
one-third of the population their full
share of the nations prosperity Here
the nominee certainly speaks as the
humanitarian, the man who saved the
women and children of Belgium from
starvation, the man who insisted that
after the Armistiee Germany and her
allies be permitted to purchase fats
for their underfed populations, the
man who was called upon by the presi-
dent to take charge of the Mississippi
flood relief.
The nominee sums up the definite
farm relief program in these words
This program adapts itself to the
variable problems of agriculture not
only today but which will arise in the
future | do not believe that any
single human being or any group of
human beings can determine in adj
vance all questions that will arise in
SO vast and complicated an industry
over term of years. The first step
is to create an effective agency di
rectly for these purposes and to give
1t authority and resources. These are
solemn pledges, and they will be full
filled by the republican party. 1t is
a definite plan of relief. 1t needs only
the detailed elaboration of legislation
and appropriations to put it into
force.
The nominees position on prohibi
ton has been stated before, he repeats
it in these words:
Il do not favor the repeal of the
amendment. | stand for
the efficient enforcement of the laws
enacted Hereunder. Whoever is
chosen president has under his oath
the solemn duty to pursue his course.
Our country has deliberately UNI
dertaken a great social and economic
experiment, noble in motive and far
reaching in purpose. It must be
worked out constructively.'
Decrying a modification that means
notification, the nominee well said
that while no one should be denied the
right to seek amendment, "the repub-
lican party does deny the right of
anyone to seek to destroy the purposes
Of the constitution by indirection."
Pleading for religious tolerance Sin
this land, dedicated to tolerance" the
nominee pledged honesty in in gov
eminent in these significant words:
Dishonesty in government is
double wrong 1t is treason to the
state. It is destructive Of self gov
ernment."
In closing, Mr.. Hoover pledged him
self to follow the chartered course of
Calvin Coolidge, renewing his alleg-
lance to his former superior in these
words:
Il would violate my conscience and
the gratitude | feel, did | not upon
this occasion express appreciation of
the great president who leads our
party today. President Coolidge has
not only given a memorable admin
he has left an imprint of
-ectitude and craftsmanship upon the
history Of our country. His has been |

country from the destruction of war
He has dignified economy to prin-
