''Big Jim" denounced the G. o. P.
ticket of Landon and Knox as a
pair of unknownS and charged
that their platform tried to carry
water on both shoulders to catch
the fancy of Eastern conservatism
and Western liberalism.

Then, in fighting language, he
added:
Behind the Republican ticket
Is the crew of the DUPONT Lib
erty League and their allies,
which have so far financed
every undercOver agency that
has diSgraced American politics
with their appeals to race pref
udicc, religious intolerance and
personalities SO grss that they
had to be repudiated even by
the regular Republican Organi-
zatiOn. They will continue to

peal to the convention delegates

This was the closest Farley
came to answering their demand
that the delegates "take a walk"
He did not mention Smith or
anyone else by name-except Her
bert Hoover, whom he said the
Republicans would have nomi-
mated ''if they had any regard
for consistency"
millions Poured Out"
In picturesque phrases, Roose-
velt's campaign manager hoiSted
the skull and cross Of piracy over
the G. o. P. because of the mil
lions he claimed big financial in
terests were pouring into Repub-
lican Golfers in an effort to beat
President Roosevelt. He said:
eve know how millions have
been poured out to prepare the
ground for an assault aimed to
bring back the reeking period
that piled up great fortunes for
those on the inside, and finally
brought the country to the verge
of bankruptcy.

capped him more fiercely than
will the hackers Of the Repub-
lican party pursue the enterprise
of getting back the prize they
held so long.
"The pursuing COrsairS used
whatever flag that served their
purpose to close with their
quarry. They did not fly the
skull and crOSSbOneS banner, but
raised the pennant under which
the prize was sailing to disguise
their plundering purpose.
perhaps that illustrates the
new plan of the Republican
platform and the uniform of
their captain, in the West with
the epauIets of liberalism, and
in the East with insignia of
conservatism"
RAPS G. o. P. TICKET
Turning to the Republican
ticket, without actually naming
either Governor Landon of Kan
sas or Col. Frank c. Knox of
Chicago, Farley said the G. o. P.
found Mr.. Hoover too conServa-
tive and Senator William E. Borah
too liberal

date whom they could present
as conservative enough to meet
the specifications of the Du
POnt Liberty LeaguerS in the
East, while appearing fiercely
liberal in the West.
