KNOX OUTLINES
PLATFORM

HAMPTON BEACH. ". r.. Aug.
IA. Rr-Drawing upon the 1882 DEM
ocratic platform for six planks. Col
onel Frank Knox. possible republic
can presidential candidate In 1886,
Wednesday outlined q party platform
which he declared represented "the
utter Reputation by Roosevelt and
his New Deal administration Of
sacred promises"
Presenting the planks In answer
to President R~oosevelt's reiterated
demand for q substitute program"
the Chicago and Manchester, ". H..
newspaper publisher recommended
for adoption by his party, q num-
Der Of planks taken literally. from
the democratic platform OF 1882"
The represent principle upon
which all those opposed to the rsdi-
calism Of President Roosevelt can
support the republican party 49,"
he declared.
Colonel Knox, In an address pre- /.
pared for delivery before the annual
outing Of the Rockingham County
Republican Club, suggested that the
following planks be included In the
next republican platform:
"l-An immediate and drastic re-
duction OF governmental expendi-
lures.
"2.-Maintenance Of the national
credit by a federal budget annually
balanced.
ga sound currency to be pre-
served at all hazards.
"4-Unemployment and Id age in
surance under state laws.
"5.-Strict and impartial enforce
ment of the antitrust laws to pre-
vent monopoly and unfair trade
practices.
"6.-Opposition TO the unsound
policy OF restricting agricultural
production"
Colonel Knox said he not only
recommended those principles for
adoption by his party, but he urged
the precise language In which ]
have read them"
This Is important" he said, be
cause they are taken literally from
the democratic platform OF 1882.
They represent the principles
upon which all those opposed to
the radicalism Of President Roose-
vet can support the republican par
~ and they represent, In every
single instance, the utter repudia-
ton by Roosevelt and his New Deal
administration OF sacred promises,
upon the basis Of which he procured
his election.
1T Is almost altruism to say that
had he openly repudiated these
fundamentally sound principles
prior TO November, 1882, he would
not have been elected president Of
the United States.
1t Is q lack or trustworthI-
ress and loyalty to pledged word
and principle that has created an
universal lack OF confidence In the
administration by the entire Amer.
tcar business community.
Ever since June OF 1892: every
single industrial nation IN the world
has been showing steady improve
ment In business and industrial
conditions. We alone, who should
have led. have Jagged in the process
sion and even Canada and Mexico
have outStripped US, and England,
loya. to economic verities recognized
by impartial economists the world
around. has led In the prosperity
parade.
"Out or the callonsed indifference
Ui the Roosevelt administration 10
its pledges TO the public, we can
and must construct a program OF
economic fundamentals and pro-
vide convincing evidence OF our
