CHICAGO, December 8.-One re-
deen1ing thing about the depression.
Gov. Albert c. Ritchie Of Maryland said
today, was that "ft has enabled the
American people to see the hollowness
and falslty OF good many stock po-
litical beliefs"
American prosperity depends upon a
Republican President and a Republican
Congress" said the Governor, who has
been treated ON his Chicago visit as a
likely candidate for the Democratic
presidential nomination.
NO woman believes any longer that
her mans Job is assured If the Re-
publican party is IN power Mr.. Hoover
in 1928 at Palo Alto said that was so.
but what can he say to the woman who
asks where her mans job is now?
mo wheat farmer can believe any
longer that the Republican party can
DO much for his wheat. The Farm
Board tried to stabilize the price of
wheat by purchasing millions of bushels.
Now they dare nct sell 1t for fear the
market will break up altogether.

party can help him much about his

vor of effective regulation of interstate
electrical power. He proposed a reor-
ganfzation of the Federal departments
Of the Government to eliminate over

building and construction activities of
the Government be consoli da ted into an
independent establishment under the
President to be known as the public

over 254 items subject to tarfr, and
that this procedure presents an orderly
method Of correcting inequalities In the
