The governor opened his speech
last night by quoting the Rspubli.
can platform as saying the "record
$ of the present administration iS i
guarantee Of what may b expected
Of the next"
"Why limit the declaration to the
present administration :" he asked.
FThe Republican party has been in
power in this nation since the 4th Of
March, 1921, and I can read from
the declaration only one thing, and
that is desire to get away from
the black, dark record Of the admin
istration Immediately preceding this
one"
The audience broke out in ap-
plause at this juncture, some cheer
ing and others footing horns.
The nominee asked what it was
the Republicans desired to get away
from and almost in the same breath
shouted out: sa
"Oil! The veterans bureau and
the administration Of the office of
the alien property custodian"
Turning to the Salt Creek lease,
he said Mr.. Work had been quoted
by the press - saying i"the people
are tired Of hearing OF these oil
leases"
II think they are not only tired, I"
the governor added, "but they are
thoroughly and completely disGusted
with them."

4 The governor opened up on Sem
htor Borah Of Idaho, now stumpin9
the country in behalf Of the Repub-
pican ticket. The nominee said that
Fmen will talk when presidential
elections are away off, and told his
! audience that the Idahoan In speak
Ing on farm relief IN 1925 had said
The problem still was with the
[.:T:.; ss:s. Senator" !" h. continued, ia u
1928 it Is still with him."
The remark brought laughter
from the audience. and the nominee
then accused Borah Of having voted
against the "only bill suggestsd" to
bring farm relief and offering moth
ing in its place.
Governor Smith declared the
idaho senator had not always
Thought $50 much" about Herbert
Hoover, whom he il supporting.
He was not 50 kind to him only
, comparatively few years ago" 10
went on. HE had little different
