yesterday before embarking on the

sured in the election eight days
hence. He continued:
81 am confident we will carry
more States in the West than

Americans have had enough
Of the broken promises, profit

inane failure Of the New Deal
They want sanity in Govern
ment."
In the closing days of the cam
paign Colonel Knox indicated he
and other Republican campatgners
will lay stress on attacking the
