KNOX AT HOME
AFTER SWEEP
THR0UGHN. F.
at Burlington
Cheer His Blast at
New Deal Taxes

MANCHESTER, N. H., Aug. 20
0.N.SO Republican vice presi-
Dental ominee, Col. Frank
Knox rested at his home here
today following a two-day New
England campaign sweep.
Colonel Knox told 10000 per-
sons at Burlington, VT, that the
Roosevelt spending policy had
consumed 5000 a second, "a hours
q day, for three years, with the
result that "every child born in
America this year starts life
with a debt of $3.50 on his shoul-
ders." He declared the Repub-
lican party proposed Ito treat
industry in accord with known
economic laws"
In his extemperaneouS speech,
Colonel Knox, asserting that he
desired to speak a moment out
of my heart" told the Vermont
audience:
"The choice spirits of Colonial
days came as a result of cen
tury of struggle against cOercive
government by the drafting Of
the Declaration of independence
in 1875. The SignerS of that
historic document put their
necks in the moose when they
wrote their names.
Nov again in our time
comes a phase when men seek
to impose the same kind of
autOcracy upon us. From a
bureaucratic government in
Washington there is a call
now for the same spirit from
us today as impelled them
then.
TO EXPOSE FAILURE
1--WE shall expose the failures
of the present Administration.
We will stigmatize the delib-
crate attempt of the present
Administration to undermine
the American economic Sys-
tenn. If this attack on error
and evil constitutes a dirty
campaign, Mr.. FOur-JOb Farley
can make the most of it.
"The Republican party hopes
to achieve the Coolidge sense.
of responsibility for the ex-
penditure of public funds. We.
hope to bring sanity back to
Government.
"Under the administration Of
ALI M. LandOn. America will
turn from the wild extrava-
ganceS, reckless experimental
ton and imported ideas of
economic control.
I'VE shall not hesitate to ex-
pose weakness in leadership.
We shall ruthlessly denOunce
contradictions in policy. We
shall fearIessIy expose the fads,
fOllieS and fallacieS of the Tug
wells, the FrankfurterS, the
Wallaces and the others who
are ready, apparently, to scrap
the American system in favor
of a philosophy Of government
and a theory of society of Eu-
rope.
1--WE shall not fail to hold
responsible the chief of the
present Administration for Civ
ing fanatics, theorists and i'm
practical experimenterS power
and place in Government.
STAND ON INDUSTRY
eve shall object to playing
the part of guinea pigs in social
and political experimentation.
1--WE propose, first of all, to
treat industry so as to give natu-
raj recovery a chance to operate.
National legislation will be de-
signed to aid the cycle of re-
cOvery. We will try to get costs
down, increase consumption, in
crease employment, increase
wages and restore confidence
on the part of the investor.
1--WE will seek, through these
means, to substitute private en-
plOyment for public dole. We
will give working men and
women a chance to get back
a job at decent wages. We pro-
pose to reOrganize the tax SyS-
tenn and make it simpler. We
propose to put extOrtiOnate and
unecOnOmic monopoly out of
business. The sweat shop and
exploiting employer we intend
to drive out of business, but
honest business is to be Free"
