Does the President not know that our
form Of government was set-up TO
prevent the national Governments
ever exercising that dominant power?
This Nation has become great be-
cause of the difference in its struc-
ture of government, not because OF
its similarity to European govern
ments. This administration has been
feeding poison into our system Of in
dividual liberty. The Supreme Court
has administered an effective anti
dote.
Specific Proposals Asked.
I'VE should challenge the President
10 submit to the people OF this coun-
try the specific constitutional amend
nnents that he and his followers seek"
Saying that the President mad
charged the Supreme Court by its
N. r. A. decision had taken us back
TO the "horse and buggy days." Sim
mons continued that what the Presi-
dent proposed, was that he be per-
mitted to take the American people
back to the dark days when the ruler
was the unrestrained master.
"As between the two. we should
choose cur own horse and buggy as
we have in the past" said the Ne
braskan. mo nation on earth has
made as great progress as America
under this Constitution. 1t is not
necessary, however, to go back to the
horse and buggy days as he meant It.
Full authority to meet any situation
now exists under the coordinate
powers of the Federal Government
and the States.
"The President asked, are we 60
ing to take from the United states
Government its supervision as to ma
tional crops, and go back to the days
when the farmer was lord on his own
farm and grew what he liked, regard
less of crop conditions elsewhere? l
would that we could burn that ques-
tion with all its revolutionary i'm
plications into the mind and soul OF
every farmer, yea, every citizen OF
America"
Hoover Opposition Arises.
Antasonism to the denomination of
former President Hoover cropped up
at q meeting of the Resolutions Com
mittee yesterday. H. Wallace Cald-
well. Cook County commissioner and
former president of the Chicago Board
of Education, appeared with a reSo-
luton which attacked both the former
Presidents administration and PreSi-
dent Roosevelt.
Mr.. Caldwell said that Mr.. Hoover
should announce now that he Will
not be a candidate for the nomina-
ton. He insisted that as long as Mr.
Hoover was considered possible can
didate, there was uncertainty. Like
a sword of Damocles, he said, the
threat hung over the party.
In his resolution Mr.. Caldwell de-
elared: THE American people are
facing a great national crisis as the
result of the reckless extravaganza,
waste and utter disregard OF social
and economic laws under the RooSe-
welt administration.
Under Herbert Hoover and his as
sociates, the American people also
failed to receive the type Of leader
ship that the conditions demanded.
The Republican party should follow
the common sense theories Of Abraham
Lincoln, which thought is at variance
with the wild, unsound, ruinous theo-
ries of Roosevelt and the ineffective
policy of Herbert Hoover"
John Hamilton Speaks.
At a colorful session Of the con-
ference last night, the Midwest Re-
publicans listened to speeches by John
D. M. Hamilton, permanent chairman
and national committeeman from
Kansas, and by Mrs. George B. Sim
mons, a farm woman" from Missouri.
Speaking for the Republicans from
Kansas, the great wheat State OF the
Union, as well as for the Republicans
generally, Hamilton laid stress on the
agricultural problem. He said:
THE farmers position is no bet
ter than that of those engaged in
business, and in no single instance has
the insincerity of the promises and
pledges made in the Democratic presi-
Dental campaign been more apparent
than in its farm program. At Topeka
on September IA, 1882. President
Roosevelt ridiculed the idea of crop re-
striction and said specifically that no
plan based upon scarcity could hope
to succeed.
His promise was kept by the waste
full slaughter of millions of pigs and
the spectacle of hundreds of thou
sands of barren acres.
HE assured the farmers of the
Middle West that the responsibility for
the operation of any plan would lie
with local authorities and that he
would decrease bureaucratic control,
but instead he set up one bureau after
another in Washington, with thou
sands of agents to plague and torment
the farmers.
He said it was to be voluntary, but
the financial distress Of the average
farmer forced him to accept any con-
