Senator Wagner Speaks.
Attacking President Hoover's admin
istration. United States Senator Robert
F. Wagner told the convention that
"the American people will never again
accept as gold the brass that was sold
to them in 1922"
They have learned to identify the
medicine man in the miracle worker"
said the New York Senator in his key
note speech They have learned to
distinguish propaganda from truth"
In his prepared address given to the
press he pleaded that the people
abandon ''the apathy of 1924. the COM
placency of 1928. and TIE despair OF
1880" and accept in its place the gospel
of Democracy, the pledge OF a new
deal, the hope OF new life"
we need no new issue for 1882" he
said. we accept the issue selected by
Mr.. Hoover himself. Four years ago he
said:
1.-The present issue is the well-being
and security of the American family
and the American home
Upon that issue we are ready and
eager to enter the campaign. We rest
our cause upon the intelligence OF the
American people"

of policies erected by the Republican

particularly to the three contradictory
programs fostered by the Republican
leaders, which, when brought together.

tries to pay for American prod
ucts with American money The third
was the adoption of a tariff policy
which so stifled trade that it prevented
those foreign countries from paying the
loans they had contracted.
Not in the World War, as Mr.. Hoover
would have us believe. but IN these mu-
tually contradictory policies, lay the de-
structive powers released by the STOCK
market collapse of 1929"
