lo,0ing is the teTt OF COP. Thomas
E. De,oey's campaign address
here last night:
1t is mighty good to come back
again to Minnesota, the State OF
that gallant leader, Comdr. Harold
Stassen. AS a great Governor and
as bold and courageous leader of
opinion, he rendered services to his
country equaled only by his present
services in the Navy.
To the people of Minnesota he
gave something else very precious
and too long absent from our ma
tional life. He gave teamwork gov
ernment, not one-man government
AS result when he left for the
Navy there was a flrst-class man
ready and able to fill his shoes.
That man has so ably and success
fully conducted the affairs of the
State that every one agrees you will
re-elect by an overwhelming ma
jority, my good friend, Gov. Ed
ward J. Thye.
The experience of the people of
Minnesota under these great Re-
publican administrations points the
way toward the progressive, forward
looking teamwork government the
people will install in the Nation next
January 20.
Farm Program Pledge.
had intended to talk tonight
about some of the problems of the
American farmer. I have deferred
that talk so that / can, without de-
lay, correct some errors and omis-
sions in the speech of my opponent
of last Saturday night. But before
doing so. want to here and now
repledge my adherence to the farm
program of the Republican plat
form, which was drawn by the farm
leaders themselves.
The wide f1uctuation of prices of
farm products that followed the last
war will not be tolerated. A floor
will be placed and maintained under
farm prices with assurance of seal
up crop loans. A proper farm pro-
gram will be created and so operated
that it will leave with the farmers
the administration, the control and
operation of their program without
domination or dictation from ap-
pointed bureaucrats
Three Great Obiectives.
On three great objectives, we,
the American people, are wholly
agreed. We are determined to carry
through this war to swift and total
victory. We are determined that
the United States shall take the
lead. even before victory in the war
Is won, in the establishment of a
world organization to prevent future
wars. We are determined that our
fighting men shall find when they
return victorious vigorous and
productive America, the kind of
America in which there will be jobs
and opportunity for all.
1t was for the purpose Of keep
Ing our unity for peace that. last
August l, I lifted our peace plans
wholly out of partisan confticts-by
joining hands with Secretary Hull
in work on the proposed organiza-
ton to prevent future wars.
In my addresses on that subject,
] have tried to keep it out of parti-
san debate.
Unhappily, however, last Saturday
night, my opponent once again
sowed among us the seeds of dis
unity. He made long speech on
foreign affairs. We had hoped he
would speak to the American people
as groWn-ups and tell us what our
foreign policy is and where it is 60
ing.
Dreamed of Yesterday.
I'VE had also hoped to hear some
word of cheer about the smaller
nations, so important to the con-
science of the American people
some word about the fate of Poland,
some hope for the people of Italy,
some assurance that the Scandina-
Wan countries which have suffered
so much, and the other small coun-
tries. might soon be admitted to
their full partnership in the work
for organized peace.
But Mr.. Roosevelt gave us none
