tended, were shown for the Demo-
cratic slate sponsored by National
Committeeman Joseph Wolf in every

sioner In those, candidates backed

THOMAS URGES
CHEAPER DOLLAR
Takes Issue With G. 0. P.
and Advocates "Further
0evaluation."
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.


Taking issue with the Republican
platform declaration against further
oevaluation OF the dollar" Senator
Thomas, Democrat, Of Oklahoma told
the Senate this afternoon that history
sustains his contention that plentiful
money makes good prices, and good
prices make good times and general
prosperity"
"The dollar beQueathed TO us in
1888 had a value OF 1877 cents in all
commodities save the one commodity
Of gold" the Oklahoman said Hence
such dollar was unreasonable, impos-
sible and dishonest, and, therefore,
unSound.
Although we have eliminated from
purchasing power, vet such dollar is
still entirely too highly valued and
must be still further chea pened by the
removal therefrom Of the remaining
20 cents OF excessive value or pur-
chasing power"
Suggests o Plank.
Senator Thomas, defending the cur
rency program Of the present admin
istration. suggested that the Demo
cratic money plank, remaining TO be
written, could we'll be stated as fol-
lows:
The Democratic party is committed
TO a sound currency backed by gold
and silver. Currency TO be sound must
be adequate, available and properly
valued 10 best serve our domestic
economy. This administration is en-
gagged in providing such currency:
hence we assert that the American dol
lar is the soundest monetary unit in
the world"
The speech Of Senator Thomas was
preceded by another aftermath OF the
Republican convention, when Senator
Clark, Democrat, OF Missouri charged
that inconsistent lines OF the Iandon
theme song, oh, SaSannah," were
appropriate and in keeping with in
consistencies in the Republican plat
form
Vsndenberg Gives Reasons.
When Clark referred TO the with
ora wal OF Senator Vandenberg, Re-
publican, OF Michigan from the race
for Vice President, Vandenbers re-
piled that he withdrew fol senQ-
mental reasons because he did not
want 10 return to Washington 10 face
the Senates presiding oficer with
the knowledge that he had taken Vice
President Garners Job away trom
him.
Senator Thomas expounded in de-
tail his argument that when the
value of the dollar is high prices
are low and business is poor, whereas
lowering the value of the dollar raise
both prices and income and produces
prosperity.
Emphasizing the Republican plat
form opposed further" devaluation.
Thomas interpreted this to mean the
G. o. p is not crtticizing the devam
alton already brought about by the
Democrats.
Senator Clark in his earlier speech
also psrsphrssed the Republican So
gan Of Three Long Years" by de-
scribing the conditions which he said
prevailed during the twelve Ions
years" of Republican control.
