]. Warren Marshall, chairman Of
the Republican State Committee
during the Hoover campaign and re-
Gently reelected to the office, open
ed the meeting and presented Gov
ernOr Buck as chairman.
Governor Buck, whose admins
tration of the States affairs during
the two years he has been in office
has attracted national attention and
in some States imitation, was greet
ed yapplause.
Here and there" he said, 81 see
groups of our Democratic friends
who don't like their platform too
/ wet"
Speaking of the Republican State
ticket in Delaware Governor Buck
said that happily the ticket is
headed by Senator Hastings and it
is a ticket which solicits and de-
serves your support" He then pre-
sented Mr.. Curtis.
Mr.. Curtis devoted his address to
the tariff and farm relief and to
what the Hoover administration has
done to relieve the period of depres-
sion.
The highlight of the section of
Mr.. Curtis address devoted to the
tariff was a declaration that if it
were in his power he would put up
the immigration bars so high as to
prevent any foreign WOrkingman
from entering the United States to
take a job from an American citi-
zen.
The high protective tariff of the
Republican party, he declared, was
tariff to keep the American work.
ingman in job and to keep Ameri-
can markets for American manufac-
turers to the benefit of the manu-
facturers and consumers alike.
Senator Hastings who followed
him pointed out five essential differ
ences between the platforms adopt
ed by the Republican and Demo-
cratic State conventions and ended
with a condemnation of the Demo-
cratic State conventions act in in
serting a plank advocating repeal
of the Eighteenth Amendment and
the Klair Law, the latter a State
liquor law.
The Senator pointed out that the
Democrats seek to give the people
the impression that to enable phys
icians to prescribe liquor is would
be necessary to repeal the Klair
Law. This impression, he declared,
is erroneous.
Turning to the plank advocating
repeal of the prohibition amend
ment Senator Hastings said:
mo one who considers the sub
ject seriously will believe that the
success of the Democratic party in
this campaign will have any partic-
ular effect on the question of the re-
peal of the Eighteenth Amendment. |
That part of the Democratic plat
form is in no sense serious"
"Cheer up, good times are COM
ing"
This in effect, was the keynote of
one section of Vice-President Cur
tis' address.
The whole world, he said, is suf-
feTing from hard times. He pointed |
to this fact to dispel Democratic in
ference that hard times are confin-
ed to the United States alone.
Hard times comes upon us at in
tervals," he said. what causes
them 1 do not know. But l do know
that we've always come out of them
better than we were before they
came.
Get that money which is laid
away busy and stop talking pessi-
mism and you'll get good times back
again in no time.
You'd think to hear the Demo-
Gratis talk that we never had hard
times before. And you'd think that
there were never any hard times
during Democratic administrations
in Washington.
an 1920 we had 100000 men out
of work. There was lack of con-
fidence everywhere. I'm not 9lam-
ing anyone in particular for hard
times come and go.
1.-THE Republican administrations
Cf Harding-Coolidge and Hoover
have reduced our national debt i'll
IL years from $26,000,0OO 900 to $15,-
O00,000,000. Now what We need is TO
have the billions of dollars tied up !
in boxes, bonds and boarded away I
in savings released and set tO work !
to restore things 70 normalcy. Put
that money back into the business
Of the nation"
The Vice-President declared with
an emphasis which set the speakers
.able rocking that there have been
more hard times under Democratic
rule than under Republican rule.
And in 1914 President Wilson went
before Congress with the statement
hat at least $100,000,000 had to be
'aised to run the government.
"The Democrats in that year sad
lied a war tax on nation not at
war;" Mr.. Curtis declared. "a war
ak in time of peace Everyone of us
lad to pay" {
He then proceeded to point out
What happened in the 1929-30 col
apse on the stock market. {
did President Hoover go before
congress with a message of distress
