ried eastward today across New
Mexico and o corner of Texas a cam
paign contention that RECOMMENDATION
of the individual and curb Of his lib
critics underlie every one Of the New
Deals plans"
Heading for Oklahoma City where
an address tomorrow morning Is ex-
pected to touch an Government "re-
lief and waste" the Republican presi-
Dental candidate paused last night at
Phoenix. Ariz., to say Il take my
stand on the American system OF
government against all comers."

system. This will determine whether
they and their children will remain

II am not questioning the humani'

ministration. But I do wish to poinl

means the administration uses to carry
out its intentions.
There can be no question as to the
road down which we are being led.
Asserting "this threatened cnange

Dealers have allowed nothing to deter
them in their plan to make over oui

Forms of Government 'under whicn
all power is placed in the hands OF q
ruler with the people getting only sucn
