CLEVELAND, June 10 U.N.SD
"Start the drive to put an Ameri-
can Deal into a place now
usurped by the sO-called New
Deal"
This was the challenging note
upon which United States Senator
Frederick Steiwer Of Oregon de
livered the keynote address Of the
Republican national convention
last night. His talk was received
uproariously by the $1,000 who
crammed the hall. Thousands OF
others listened outside over public
address systems or radio.
With Kleig lights burning on
him from all sides, Steiwer de,
nounced the Administration as
"a Government without political
morality" He charged it failed
to put men to work. He said it
had injured the American eco
nomic system and had attempted
to destroy constitutional govern
ment. He accused it Of taking
away the markets Of the Ameri.
can farmer, fostering bureaucracy
and piling up a burden Of debts.
In blunt language, he blamed
President Roosevelt for the bank
crisis in 1888. He declared that
the President New Deal
Caesar have averted the
crisis had he been willing to CO.
operate with former President
Hoover.
There was cheering for nearly
two minutes at the mention Of
Hoover'S name. The great audi
ence laughed, and cheered again,
when Steiwer said:

bOOkwOrms for practical expert
ence, and hOOkworms for en-
ergy."

pinch hitting" for John Hamil-
ton, the Landon campaign man.
ager, at the regular press confer
ence, Martin declared he had no
idea who would be most accept.
able from the Kansas viewpoint as
the running mate for Landon.
So far as Martin knew, no ap-
proach was being made to bring
United States Senator William E,
Borah over to the Landon side. He
had no opinion as to the possibil,
ity Of Borah ultimately taking the
convention floor and speaking in
Landon'S behalf. He never has
doubted "the friendlineSs Of Mr.,
Borah."
Asked why Hamilton did not
show up, Martin said he was
comforting with some gentle
men" Who were they? He
couldn't say. Was any effort to
be made to get in touch with
former President Herbert Hoover?
Not as far as he knew. Neither
did he know what the Landon
forces were doing about the plat
form.
"Any important shifts?"
"NO. Just steady gains for
LandOn. I can't see how he can
help from being nominated on
the first ballot, although we
are not making any drive for .
first ballot nomination"
Despite Martins cautious state
mentS and the fact Hamilton was
so busy he could not attend the
press conference, the belief was
widespread that the Landon forces
virtually had taken over the run
ming Of the convention and that
from now on everything will be
more or less cut and dried.

Final Plans For

Final plans are now being made
to prepare Central's speech team
for their first interscholastic meet
at San Diego State, following the
choosing of the extemporaneou
speakers. Two have been chosen
from each public speaking class,
being Warren Rhodes and Doro-
thea Eiler, fifth period, Kay Nuf-
fer and Barbara Hatch, first pc
riod. These speakers will have 20
minutes in which to prepare their
speeches at the southern Califor-
mia meet at San Diego, December
IL.
Extemp speakers must have wide
general knowledge of all subjects
in order to speak competently.
The October and November Read
erS' Digest and November issues
of Time have been chosen as SUBJ
ject matter in this particular meet
because of the different types of
articles to be found in them. The
speaker will draw his article with
out knowing ahead of time what
he will be required to talk on.
In contrast to the extemps, de-
baters must have, this year, COM

electricity to what the government
has done in other lines of brlsi-
