Even the President joined In
this undermining attack.
THE President predicted disaster II
his plans were held unconstitutional
the speaker said. They were held
unconstitutional. Now, he claims credit
for the improvement that followed.
He says we planned it that way"
Laughter echoed through the great
stadium.
Makes Gestures With Fist.
Hammering home his attack upon
abuse Of the power Of Government"
Landon used his right fist in choppy
gestures as he said, "All business men
under the Blue Eagle, were faced with
arbitrary endorsements Of arbitrary
interpretations of arbitrary rules
rules not made by Congress, but py
some appointed subordinate sitting ut
desk in Washington, and fumbling
with the business of the country"
One way of stamping out unfair
trade practices and monopoly was
pointed by Justice Cardozo in his con-
curing opinion of the N. R. A. de-
cision Of the Supreme Court" Landon
continued.
"The learned justice said: II codes
Of fair competition are codes elimt-
mating unfair" methods Of competi-
ton ascertained upon inquiry to pre-
vail in one industry or another. there
is no unlawful delegation of legislative
functions when the President Is di-
rected to inquire into such practices
and denounce them when discovered.
For many years like power mas been
committed to the Federal Trade Com
mission with the approval Of this court
IN long series of decisions.
Turning to Federal spending, the
Republican leader declared "the Chief
Executive" has not hesitated to use
the power given by eight times as
much discretionary spending power as
was given to all of his predecessors
together in l43 years of our history"
There Is unmistakable evidence"
Landon asserted, that these vast
funds have been used to force Con-
gressmen and Senators to support
administration measures" Ito prevent
criticism by officials and representa-
tives of local communities" and Ito
prevent freedom Of choice at the polls"
Nothing can be more shameful than
the way some of these Federal funds
have been distributed" the Kansan
said, while the crowd roared, mipeling
applause and booes 80 3D..
Relief funds have been used In an
attempt to force our less fortunate
fellow citizens to vote for the return
OF this administration to power. Does
this undermine our freedom?"
Again the crowd roared, you bet
your life." "I'll say it does" and Yes.
yes"

NEW DEAL HELD
NOT DEMOCRATIC
John W. Davis Declares Il
Has No Claim on Any
Democrat.

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, october 2i-John w.
Davis. Democratic candidate for Presi-
dent in 1924, held today the New Deal
has no just claim, simply because of
party membership, on the support Of
any Democrat"
Whatever 1t Is or Is not, whatever
it holds Of good or bad" the attorney
said, "one thing Is certain; the New
Deal Is not Democratic as the Demo-
cratic party has hitherto employed
that word"
He asserted there was only one
course open to the voter who still
holds to the creed of Democratic lib
eralism: To stand up, speak up and
on election day take his judgment and
his conscience with him into the pol
ling place and make his protest good"
Davis first address Of the campaign
was broadcast nationally last night un-
der the sponsorship Of the National
Jeffersonian Democrats.
Davis explained that he spoke be-
cause his position as a former head Of
his party's national ticket made 1t i'm
possible for him to remain entirely
silent"
The former nominee contended the
record of the Roosevelt administration
shows "the most callous disregard of
party principles. platform promises and
personal pledges in all the history Of
American politics"
He protested especially against laws
passed in violation Of constitutional
provisions" the surrender" by Con-
gress of its powers to the President;
the appropriation Of billions Of dollars
with a carefree hand" with the dis
posal OF the funds placed at the dis
cretion of the Executive; a 'swollen"
public pay roll, mounting burden"
OF taxation. Federal entry into private
enterprise and persistent and unre-
mitting" effort to regiment the social
and economic life of the Nation.
Every legitimate reform can be
wrought out within the structure Of
the Constitution by the machinery it
provides" Davis said. But the very
life of the Nation demands that the
Constitution shall be obeyed. 1t has
not been obeyed. either in letter or in
spirit, during the last three years
1t will never be obeyed by the two
men who seek. in pursuit of greater
power and glory. to centralize in their
own hands in Washington dominion
over the economic, industrial and
social life of the continent"
Davis also spoke against the principle
of taxation to encourage q wider dis
tribution of wealth" This, he held, ''is
as foreign an intruder into the body Of
democratic or American doctrine as
the appropriation of all property under
communistic regime. 1t is COM
munism in all but name"

AID AWARD WON
BY LOCAL STORE
Woodward & Lothrop l.
Highest in Selling Power
Through Newspapers.

The annual Socrates award OF
Retail-Ad News, which goes every year
to the American department store
demonstrating the greatest ability ito
maintain a high degree of selling
power In daily newspaper advertising. "
has been won by Woodward & Lothrop,
it was announced today.
In recent years Woodward &
Lothrop has stood high in the Socrates
ratings, but 1896 is the first year the
store was placed first, according To
James W. Hardey, advertising mana
ger. The honor places the 56-year-
old firm ahead of Filene's of Boston,
Marshall Fields of Chicago and
Macyis of New York. which were
among the first 10.
The award to Woodward & Lothrop
was based on the following qualities
of its advertising:
l. More than any other store We
know, its advertising is tailor made
to fit the personality Of the store and
its city. To create advertising that
mirrors an institution rather than
suggests a market place, is the aim
of a good many stores. Few achieve
it to the extent that Woodward g.
Lothrop do"
Appearance q Factor.
2. Appearance, copy content, illus
trations and stressing of necessity
in appealing to buyers.
3. Advertising by department." in
the store.
4. Presentation of women's mer-
chandise, with special reference TO
script headlines.
Hardey said the firm sought to
keep its advertising at all times on
an interesting. informative and factual
basis. always accurate and with
complete absence of ballyhoo.
There is still a lot to be done in
improving the standard of advertis-
ing" Hardey said, despite progress
already made in getting away from
bold, bald claims in advertising copy.
Tremendous strides have been made
in the appearance and art work and
in an intelligent presentation to the
public, with full regard for the in
telligence and education of the buyers.
Policies and Principles.
"The set-up We use for gathering
advertising is very much like the
reportorial staff of a newspaper, even
though the advertising is planned q
month in advance, which the news
paper cannot do with its news. We
try to keep in mind always the poll
cies and principles that have actuated
the business progressively through its
56 years-to properly interpret pro-
gressive conservatism and to have the
advertising truly reflect the spirit Of
the store"
Hardey said Woodward & Loth-
rop believes in simplicity in ad-
vertising rather than sensationalism
facts, not superlatives; avoidance of
generalities; undertaking, rather than
uverstatipg; being truthful. not boast
full; making every advertisement a
word picture. and beginning all over
again when an advertisement has
only cleverneSs to commend 1t.

ployes.
I'm the negotiations the management
fiatly stated it would give nothing the
strikers did not have before"
