The Dayton forum. [volume] (Dayton, Ohio) 1913-1949, 1940-09-13

every fibre is dedicated to safe
guarding American democracy and
the American way Of life.
So great was WILKES honest ap-
peal, and so like clarion call did it
sound to these young people, that
their enthusiasm reverberated thru
out the nation, and into the conven-
ton hall. There, the delegates. both
young and old, were magnetizsd by
the force Of this man, who for four
years had been carrying on the fight
for democracy pgahlst regimenta-
ton.
As its candidate for vice~presi-
dent, the Republican party presents
the state of Oregon's senior senator,
Charles L. McNary, whose chief aim
in life has been the Improvement of
the life of the farmer. A member
of the Committee on Agriculture,
since the first day he entered the
senate % vars ago, McNary's bat
ties to aid the farmer have taken
precedence over party regularity and
every other consideration. He comes
by his knowledge and deep interest
in the farmer naturally, because he
| is farmer, and has learned the
problems Of the farmer first-hand
from his 800 acre farm in Oregon
that was originally homesteaded by
his grandfather in 1845.
However, the achievement for
which his colleagues in Congress and
liberty loving people generally es-
teem him most, was far removed
from farm problems. This was his
mastery strategy in marshaling op-
position in the Senate to defeat the
Preident's bill to enlarge the SUI
preme Court.
AS vice-president, and presiding
officer in the Senate, Charles Nc
Nary, with his vast experience OF
Parliamentary procedure and strate-
gy. will guide the senate again TO
its pre-New Deal reputation Of the
most important aeliberative body in
1.-THE world.
For the important Office OF Unit
ed States Senator from Ohio, the
Republican party presents Harold II.
| Burton. mayor of Cleveland, whose
administration Of one of Americas
largest cities stands as model o.
efficient and decent municipal gov
ernment.
It is natural that the people OF the
state do not know Harold Burton as
well as the people of his home CITY
know him. Proof of mans worth
lis what his own neighbors and EEL
low-citizens think Of him. The evl-
dence Of the esteem in which ne IS
| held by the people Of his own com
lmunity, is the fact that he was elect!
L ed and reelected mayor Of Cleveland
| by tremendous majorities.
| Another important office 1or
| which the voters of Montgomery
| County will ballot, and which has
| national significance, is that OF Con
oressman from the Third district, 2
| seat now occupied by Harry hou''
zorn Congressman Routzohn's rec
ord speaks for itself. 1t is in har'
| monv with the principles enunciateo
Ibv the Republican party, and prlnei-
| nles advocated by Wendell Wlllkie.

| Harry Routzohn for his gfea'
achievements in his first term ~
| Congress, where he received recoe'

| Congressman Routzohn's probing

And now come to the Statt
Government.
