Williams and Smith
OVER 600 ATTEND RALLY

United States Senator Phillips Lee
Goldsborough Monday night in the
Maryland theatre, Oakland, told Re-
publican rally the protective tariff
was for the purpose of protecting the
farm industry the same as that af-
forded other industries and for bring
ing the standard of living of the farm
people to higher plane.
Goldsborough's speech was the first
of a statewide campaign tour he
has planned for the remaining two
weeks before election, in behalf of
the Republican National and state
candidates. The party leaders esti-
mated 600 attended the gathering.
Citing a number of bills proposed
by President Hoover as being devoted
to the farmer, Senator Goldsborough
criticized the Democratic opponents
for attempting to cover" the facts
of farm relief, asserting the Demo-
Gratis were dealing only in generali-
ties.
care we to believe that those who
talk only of the woes of the country
without offering a constructive meas
ure are competent to run this govern
ment of ours?" he asked. "Only once
every four years has the Democratic
party become interested in the farm
err"
He branded the reforestation pro-
gram suggested by Governor Roose-
welt as an absolute absurdity. At the
same time in Atlanta, Ga, Roosevelt,
the Democratic nominee, was expand
ing his program of reforestation.
Goldsborough stated that it was
not enough to elect President Hoover
but also elect Republican senators
and representatives so that legisla-
ton favorable to farmer and return
of prosperity as proposed by the
president, can be passed.
"We want a constructive man like
Hoover kept in the White House, and
not a Snowman like Roosevelt" he
declared. Senator Goldsborough COM
pared the president with Washing
ton land Lincoln, showing whereas
Washington was the founder of the
country, and Lincoln the preserver,
so Herbert Hoover was the builder of
the country.
Wallace Williams, Republican
candidate for the United States Sem
ate, and Harold C. Smith, of Rock
vile, candidate for Congress from the
Western Maryland district, also spoke
that the tariff as supported by the
Republican party has saved that
which the American people still
have.
Smith cited the stand of the
Democrats on an economic program
and pointed out the deficit in New
York state and the bill introduced in
Congress by John N. Garner, the
Democratic vice-president nominee
for an expenditure of S2,000,000,000
for construction of postoffices, many
of which were to be erected in Texas,
his home state.
