improvement in the scale of living,
he said. 1.-The advance of comfort
and intelligence did not arise with
out right principles animating the
American system which produced
them. Should not our purpose be to
restore the normal working of that
system which has brought to us
such immeasurable benefits and not
to destroy it?"
Then in sharp phrases Mr.. Hoo
yer proceeded to dissect the pro-
posals of Mr.. Roosevelt and his as
sociates which he maintains would
destroy the American system.
First, he said, they propose to
permit raids upon the Treasury.
Such a proposal, he said, would en-
slave men to work for the Govern
ment. No nation, he said, can thus
conscript men without national i'm
poverishment and destruction of lib
erty. The expenditures proposed by
the Democratic House of Represen-
tatives, he said, for the special ben
eft of groups and sections, would
undermine the American system.
Charges Democrats Urge Imitation
Second. he said, they would de-
stroy the American system by in
flation of the currency. In the situ-
alton in which the country finds it
self today he declared issuance of
greenbacks would mean that it
would Immediately go off the gold
standard. THE oldest law of cur
rency," he said, sis that bad money
drives ont the good money" He as
serted that neither Mr.. Roosevelt
nor any Democratic speaker had
disavowed the action of the House
in proposing fiat currency.
The third evidence of the inten-
tion of the Democrats to work fun
damental changes in the Govern
ment he cited as the passage of a !
bill under the leadership of Speaker
Garner was intended to place the
in the banking busi-
ness. This" he said, Il was COM
PEELED to Veto"
The fourth proposal which he
said would wholly alter the Ameri-
can system of life is the reduction
of the protective tariff and the fifth |
that the Government should go into
the power business.
Strikes At Insurgents
He struck hard at this latter pro-
posal, asserting Governor Roose-
velt is supported by a group of
Senators whose campaign expenses
are paid by the Democratic Nation
al Committee and who are pledged
to defer all development and opera

"From their utterances in this

justified in the conclusion that our

ness"
Quoting a recent letter which he
said was written by Governor
Roosevelt, in which he said the
Democratic candidate would support
self-liquidating public construction,
to provide employment for all sur
plus labor at all times" he asserted
iuch a proposal constituted the
sixth point of evidence that the
Democratic program is inimical to
American institutions.
That" he said, would be abso-
utely destructive of our American
system"
AssaiIs Attack On High Court

assault upon the integrity of the
supreme Court as the seventh count
