FOR DEMAGOGUERY
Hurley Sees Appeal to Class
Antagonism-Finds No
Constructive Ideas.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ROCKY POINT, r. l., August "a
In sharp reply to Gov. Roosevelt'S
Columbus speech, Secretary Hurley to-
day charged the Democratic candidate
with attempting to arouse class an
to capitalize discomfort, to
make politics out of human misery and
to profit by distortion of fact
Speaking before the Rhode Island
Republican Club, the cabinet officer
said neither the Democrats nor their
candidate had offered program to i'm
prove economic conditions and asserted
"the Hoover non-partisan reconstruc-
ton program is still the only complete
logical program offered by any one in
or out of public life to break this de-
preston"
Excerpts from Hurley's speech at the
annual clambake of Rhode Island Re
publicans were given cut by the Re
publican National Committee which
had described the speech as a reply
to Roosevelt in Columbus last week. in
which the Democratic nominee charg-
ed President Hoover had not been
honest with the American people.
Radio Address Tonight.
In order to reach bigger audience
the War Secretary was to repeat his
address tonight over a National Broad
casting Co. chain.
Lauding President Hoover's efforts to
stem the tide of the depression, Hurley
said his program was fulfilling the
purpose for which it was designed"
The three major policies OF the
President stand vindicated,' he SAID.
THE Government has prevented social
upheavals. The Presidents organiza-
ton together with all local and ma
ticnal relief organizations have cared
for the needy.
I'VE are in a depression, but We have
averted panic and catastrophe. The
economic struggle is not over. Battles
are still raging on a hundred fronts
While revolutions have shaken the
foundation of 18 ether nations, while
nation after nation has been driven
from its gold standard. the United
States, under the administration OF
Herbert Hoover, is firm. solvent and
confident of the future"
Sees No Constructive Idea.
Hurley charged Roosevelt did not
offer single constructive suggestion
for providing immediate employment
nor give one idea for improving the
Presidents plan.
He contrasted what he called the
"carping criticism, the unsupported
charges, the indefinite, impractical and
floundering suggestions" of Roosevelt ::
speech with the acceptance speech CT

constructiveness CT purpose. definite
ness of program and intellectual de-
cency," had already taken its place

approves or disapproves the Hoover

He has not stated whether he would
