lam G. McAdoo urged the Demo
ckAtic national convention to turn
aHay from "the ruins Of Wall
Gtreet'' for a presidential candi.
date and return to the rugged
Anericanism of Jackson'S Day.
He thereupon presented to the
o0nvention the name of Speaker
Lphn N. Garner. of Texas, whom
he described as "a master Of the
science of government"
at Is a fallacy, McAdoo said, to
believe that captains Of industry
aAd financial giants make the best
Presidents. It is these so-called
captains and giants, he declared,
Who have brought the country to
ib present state.
For Man Like Jackson"
What the country needs today
Is Q man whose soul has not
been rotted by greeds and rapaci-
ts6S, but Q man like jackson, who
has the stout heart and the firm
hand to cut out the creeping
cancers Of our national life," and
snch a man, he said. is John
Garner.
zMcAdoo's speech, in part, fol-
Nlws:
"This convention has . two
fold duty. It must nominate a
Democrat whose life is a guaran-
Zee that, as President, he will
bring courage, honesty, and
high ability to bear upon the
pressing problems of an un-
happy day; and it must make
that nomination in true Demo
cratic fashion.
Both solemn obligations can
pe discharged fully and nObly
by selecting rs our captain the
man whose name California has
&he honor Of presenting for
your consideration, John N.

FULFILLS IDEAL
cat every point, Garner full.
1llIS the ideal Of a presidential
candidate, lacking no single eIe-
Hnent Of appeal, either to the
intellect or to the. imagination.
"As for his public service, 30
years in the House Of Repre-
sentativeS leave nothing to be
AnrmiSed or cOnjectured.
"Au Is q matter Of open rec.
0rd, available alike to press and
AeOple; and it is indeed signifi-
ERnt that neither opposition
papers or partisan opponents
lave been able to discover o
@ngle detail in this record that
can be used to besmirch his
honor, to aSSail his essential
AmericaniSm, or to question his
@ngle-minded devotion to the
Rublic welfare.
