81 Ships Authorized
For TW0.Ocean NAVY.

This Congress has, in addition,
authorized 81 ships of war to give
us two-ocean Navy, a sea force OF
such magnitude and power, includ-
ing its air force, as will make rea-
sonably certain our continued domi-
nance of this hemisphere and the
perpetuation Of our cherished in
stitutions. Let this startling SLIM

voters who have forever forsworn al.
legiance to the forces Of reaction.
Sentiments and emotions and
alarms Of profound significance are
stirring the minds and hearts of
the American people as a result of
the welter and destruction of the
foreign wars, and they are in deep
apprehension Of the dangers to our
processes of liberty. We can all
somehow sense and feel a new con-
secration to the priceless patrirnony
bequeathed to us by Washington,
Jefferson, Madison, Hamilton and
their associates "in a time remote"
It is an indefinable patriotic In
cursion that is touching the souls
Of men here in our country. While
this is no time or place for one to
invoke the prerogatives of an &C.
clesiastic, I venture far enough to
assert that there is no armament so
potent and enduring as that of tho
moral, spiritual and religious obh-
cations for a great people. Without
that sanctuary, there can be no per-
petuation of the decencies and Sc
curities Of any type of civilization.
With that Great Comforter as q
hand-maiden, our wealth, our
power, our preparedness, our love of
liberty will forever make America
unconquered and uncomfortable.

Held on Check CHARGE
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 16-Fred
starek, IS, of Chagrin Falls, Ohio,
former Washington newspaperman
and adviser in the Harding presi-
Dental campaign, was indicted yes.
terday on II counts of larceny.
The indictment, filed in General
Sessions, accused Starek of cashing
bad checks totaling $500 in two
night clubs. Other counts related
to the alleged passing of a check
under a fictitious name at the Hotel

Starek, prisoner in the Tombs

here it is. I believe in the gold
standard. I believe in the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver at the
ratio of l6 to l. I believe In a large
circulation Of greenback money
and q right smart little sprinkling
Of counterfeit" The Frank COM
mittee and their platform commit
tee were in labor 4 long, long
time and they finally brought forth
. weasel.
It Is q document filled with equivo-
cation and political subterfuge, but
the most remarkable significance Of
that platform Is the fact that de-
spite their clamorous and bitter de-
nunciation of the legislative pro.
gram Of this administration, they
did not have the confidence or cour-
age to demand the repeal or aboli-
tion Of any single one of the major
laws we have passed for liberal gov
ernment and a better state Of life
for the masses Of the American peo-
pie. No greater compliment could
be paid to the wisdom and sound
ness of the legislative and execu-
tive program of this administra-
ton. How can the Republican party
go before the electorate in Novem-
Der, urging the removal from power
of that party whose wisdom and
progressive policies they were COM
PEELED, even if by indirection, to in
dorse?
Republicans Have Nothing
To Point to With Pride.
In national conventions hereto
fore there has been a vast amount
Of pointing with pride and viewing
with alarm, but at Philadelphia,
while there was much viewing with
alarm. there was no pointing with
pride, for the obvious reason that
they could remember nothing at
which to point. That platform is
a perfect example of the aphorism
that Language was invented to con-
ceal thoughts"
1t is contended by Republican
leaders that the farmers of the
country will not support our party
in November on the basis of the
record OF this administration. !
refute that assertion. I do it be-
cause these farmers are men of
intelligence and with a high ca
pacity for the appraisal of legis-
latlve action as it affects their well
fare. At the end of a Hoover adj
ministration the farmers Of Amer
lea had on their hands an unprece-
dented panic and the Hoover Farm
Board. The effects Of the panic
were immeasurable and the results
of such Farm Board activities were
worse, as our farmers will remember.
New Deal vs.. G.. o. p.
On Farm Benefits.
They also well remember the
prices they were receiving for their
products in that fateful hour. Since
we came into power we have pro-
gressively enacted for their benefit
the soil and water conservation pro-
gram: the lowest farm interest rates
in our entire history; the benefits
of rural electrification of their
homes; marketing agreements; COM

uses and new markets; the stamp

the minds Of the American people,
to wit: During Mr.. Hooyer's admin
istration, none; during Mr.. Roose-
velt's administration, 326.
When We came into power, the
authorized strength Of our stand
Ing Army had been reduced to
$4,000 men. During this admin
istration 1t has been constantly in
creased until the present authorized
enlisted strength of the Army Is
ST., 900 men ard the National Guard
PSI 900.
Our air force has been increased
in like proportion, with an ulti-
mate objective, II necessary, Of $4,000
planes, manned by the most EN-
cient flyers on the face Of the earth.
That Is the record. Let the oppo-
dtion make the most of it.
The Enemy Within
VIII Be Dealt With.
There has been presented q sum-
mary Of our program for a tremen-
dous increase in our defense against
an enemy from overseas. But. such
danger is not the only menace to
our national security. There is
abundant proof that lurking within
the shadows Of our Government S
edifice, laying their mischievous
plans at the opportune time to sap
and mine it, or to put the red torch
Of revolution and disunion against
our democratic form of government,
are those forces Of evil, now COM
monty called the fifth column" No
one knows how great are their
numbers, but evidence already pro-
duced shows that they run into
tens Of thousands, all of them sworn
enemies of our form of govern
ment. However great or small may
be their numbers, there is no place
in the United States for a single
one Of them to abide in freedom
Congressional legislation has already
been enacted and approved by the
President providing every possible
restraint upon and punishment of

limits of our Constitution.
Fight Begun in 1882
VIII Be Continued.
At the conclusion of his speech
to the Republican convention at
Philadelphia, former President
Hoover posed this question: Re
publicans, are you ready to fight?"
No such question will be pro-
pounded to the Democrats of this
convention or those of the coun-
try. We began to fight in the
election of 1892; we carried on the
battle in 1886 to a magnificent vic
tory, and we are already enlisted
for the duration Of the coming con-
1lict to preserve to the people the
advances we have made in liberal
government for the benefit and pro-
lection Of the average man. Fight
ing by our side again will be millions
of Republicans and independent
