"With the co-operation of the people, the President was able to resist rising; clamors for a Federal dole." "The value of the. dollar Is unimpaired and the security of the United States has been preserved." But Grand Jury Fore man Can't Recall Lawi ver's Exact Statement Lionel F.

"There can be no evidence of the solicitude of the Republican party for the farmer more convincing than the sums of money placed at the disposal of the agricultural industry during the past three years."

I "Don't put them on again.

I'm running this thing!" I So the lights go out. Dr. Fess announces that this is Flag Day. He mentions Betsy Ross, Oeorge Washington. Montezuma, Chateau Thierry, which he pro- nounces "Terry." i Now he's silent.

A group oi I American flags is carried In. The delegates rise. The band and organ up "The Star-Spangled Ban- ner." A great American flag is un- furled in the center of the arena I and raised to the rafters. So there is a touch of Theater Guild, after all. To spoil it all the Ohio male choristers burst into a song.

A song entitled "Gold Bless Our- i Pres-l-dent" is Now a few Chicagaans are intro-j duced, among them Mayor "Tony" i Cermak. who reads a boosting speech in a peculiar accent, not quite New York, not quite Middle West. It's American with a totch of Czech. Hoover's Sole Opponent On the platform sits President Hoover's sole opposition Dr. Joseph I.

France of Maryland, who has a few delegates and imagines he has more. Dr. France' has succumbed to that most violent of passions an ambition to sit in the White House. More-sensible men than he, with more chance of being nominated, have led embittered and disappointed lives once this ambition was thwarted. It is said that.

Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana, Vice President under Taft, died of chagrin because he wasn't nominated for Pres ident. Senator Hiram Johnson of California suffered from the same disappointment, but he has recovered in his later lift and is able to accept the wdVld as it is, without the will-o'-the-wisp of the White House leading him into swamps and morasses. Dickinson Introduced Here's the introduction of Senator Dickinson of Iowa, the "keynoter." He gets a good reception, is photographed, starts his speech. Thousands and thousands of words of familiar political bunk, but not one word on the one subject of which all delegates are talking prohibition. The first mention of Herbert Hoover's name produces a brief demonstration of two minutes.

What's the use of a "keynote" speech that avoids all mention of one of the major issues before the nation? The answer is. No use at all. But these preliminaries must be gone through, because Chicago, which put up S150.0O0. must be given a chance to get the cash back from the delegates, in the shape of hotel, restaurant, taxi and other charges. So the convention must be strung out and this "keynote" is doing it.

What a bore it is! Mr. Hoover can do no wrong, the Democrats can do no right. Two weeks hence a Democratic "keynoter" will reverse the process. But just now Mr. Hoover Is being pictured as a compendium of oil the virtues, the repository of a'l intelligence, the distillation of all courage, the rock of all convictions.

"Keynoter" Dickinson has a booming, monotonous voice. The audience is smoking and taking the words from the rostrum amplifier from which Dickinson's voice comes ns though he were announcing trains in an immrncc, echoing railroad station. The keynote finished at 1 p.m. and the de'egntes pave a shout of relief. So the first session came to an end.

But a few streets behind Michl- i gan Boulevard lies squalor eheap business buildings, poor dwellings, small shops, all streaked with the grime and smoke of this Industrial metropolis.

for-m'-r frm -horn f'ani'toi 'Pink ten'- drf'st-t1 for By Democrats Dickinson Says Hoover Made Unsurpassed Kecorri Despite This Continued from Pf I I woiua nave umie more inau an uie other Presidents had done in the '14 major economic dislocations which have gone before. But our President planned a campaign to deal with the unprecedented situation in which" the world found Itself in the back-wash of the greatest of wars. With financial panic averted, with Industrial peace assured, the Executive moved rapidly to mitigate unemployment distress. However, no action of Government or of people could stay the march of the insidious enemy within our gates. Unemployment and suffering were Inevitable.

To relieve this to the fullest possible measure, the President set up in Washington a national unemployment committee to co-operate with the States both In finding employment and in relieving the needy. There was generous response from every State and with the co-operation of the people the President was able to resist rising clamors for a Federal dole. Europe Off em Contrast Contrast this picture of a stable social order, the people united in aid to their less fortunate fellows, with the chaos in many countries abroad. There revolution followed revolution. Government after government fell.

Battle and bloodshed became an almost every-day occurrence. This was the foreign situation only a year ago. Drastic action was necessary if the international finan cial structure was to be preserved. Herbert Hoover took that action. He proposed and the other Powers quickly agreed to a one-year moratorium on' reparations and war debts.

Germany was saved from financial chaos that would have involved the entire world. With this catastrophe averted, the President continued to wage the battle against depression on a hundred fronts in the United States. Before Congress assembled last December, President Hoover prepared for it the most far-reaching rehabilitation and reconstruction program that has ever been designed by any leader in any country under any circumstance. Created Finance Body Foremost in this plan was the creation of the Reconstruction Finance1 Corporation with reserves of $2,500,000,000 to furnish necessary credit otherwise unattainable. As Herbert Hoover poured out his tremendous energies and abilities upon the altar of public service and the welfare of all of the people, what of the Democratic opposition? For two long years they hampered the President at, everv turn Through a highly subsidized press bureau.

Democratic leaders, Democratic Senators and Democratic Congressmen sought to distort his every word; to belittle his every effort at human and economic relief; to impugn his every motive; to frustrate his every move. Their orders were to "smear Hoover." Upon his shoulders the anvil chorus of Democracy placed the responsibility for every ill at home and abroad. 'Overplayed Their Hand' As have been expected, they overplayed their hand. With the nation threatened by Its greatest economic crisis, people demanded that partisan politics be submerged In the general welfare. Having no program of their own, they naturally and wisely followed the President, who alone had a workable program.

But after they had assisted in partially translating this plan into law, our Democratic friends were no longer able to contain their hopes of victory within the sphere of the good of the nation. On the all essential proposition of balancing the budget, they elected to follow their own course. And with what result? The Democrats in the House of Representatives flouted their own leadership; their tax bill was completely rewritten by the revolting Democratic majority; their economy measure was torn to shreds. Democratic sponsors call for undue inflation of the national currency. The safety of the country requires the maintenance of the gold standard.

The value of the American dollar must be maintained throughout the world. Nor was this moribund issue the sum total Of the products of the master minds of Democracy. They proposed billions In bond Issues for unnecessary and unproductive public works, presumably on the theory that when your budget is unbalanced when your outgo exceeds your income you can squander yourself into prosperity. 'The Ghost of 18W In their efforts thus to debase the dollar bv flat money and other equally unsound financial schemes, the Democrats stalked forth with the ghost of U96. The Farm Board has been the butt, of much criticism, the greater part of which is unjust.

We have heard much abuse of the board's operations in stabilisation of cotton and wheat by their financing of cooperative to purchase these commodities, but we have heard very little of the fact that by their entry into the market in February during the crop year of 1930 and again in November of the crop year they stemmed the panic which hed broken in agricultural prices. Hie Farm Board held prices In each of these two crnos above world levels to such a decree that the very moderate estimate of the mount realized by the American farmers pver and above what they Seek to Enjoin City's Effort to Take From Thoroughfare Residents of Glenwood Road, between Flatbush Ave. and Amersfort Place, have begun a legal battle to keep the city from making so-called Improvements and chancing the character of the thoroughfare. Four of them applied today to Justice Conway in Supreme Court for an order which will require the city to show caiw! why it should not be enjoined from going ahead with plans to pave the street. This plan contemplates the removal of the malls from the center of the street, which residents are anxious to preserve.

Their removal, they say, would make of that section of Glenwood Road "Just an ordinary street" and would depreciate tne value of their property. They claim that Glenwood Road, between Flatbush Ave. and Amersfort Place, is a private street; thnt it has never been legally opened nor dedicated to the city for public purposes. The petition submitted to Justlrs Conway says that last December the property owners attempted to assert their rights by serving notice on Controller Berry that the laving of the big Avenue trunk sewer in 1902 was an illegal trespass bv the city on Glenwood Road, and demanding the sewer be removed. So far they have received no answer.

Last OctoDer the Board of Estimate passed a resolution to pave that portion of Glenwood Road The residents say the city will trespass unlawfully 0n their property. The plaintiffs are Clarence Horn. 2714 Glenwood Road; Hilma A. Ullholm, 2724 Glenwood Road-Rosa Beye, 1488 Flatbush Ave. and Lillian Weitzman, 2707 Glenwood Road.

Sanders is a former member of Congress who served as secretary to President Coolidge. He is sergeant-at-arms of the Republican Convention. President Hoover is reported to have decided to pick Mr. Sanders to manage his campaign because he is young, vigorous, loyal and not mixed up in any of the Jealousies or intrigues that have been current in the present Republican high command.

Court Limits Dry Prosecution In Case of Stills The Circuit Court of Appeals has considerably circumscribed prosecution of persons arrested for possession of stills designed for bootleg liquor manufacture, it was disclosed today In Brooklyn Federal Court. The disclosure was made by Assistant Federal Attorney Alfred C. McKenzie, following the sentencing of Peter DeVito, Jamaica strikebreaker, to pay a fine of $500 and remain two years on probation, DeVito pleaded guilty to conspiracy to possess an unregistered still.

A Jury before whom he was tried on the same charge a few weeks ago failed to reach a verdict. In pleading to the conspiracy charge, DeVito's counsel contended and McKenzie agreed, the defendant conceded that he was guilty of conspiracy to commit that which the Circuit Court has ruled is not a crime. Besides pleading guilty to conspiracy to possess an unregistered still, DeVito alsj pleaded guilty to two other counts in the indictment. They charged conspiracy to pas-session of mash and conspiracy to possess equipment designed for manufacturing liquor at 91-24 182d Jamaica. Initially convicted for conspiracy to manufacture liquor in connection with the seizure of the still were five laborers who were arrested while Installing it.

Joseph H. Wackerman, defense counsel, appealed from that conviction. The Circuit Court ruled that the still in the case "not having been connected with a boiler or in position over a fire, being new and not yet having been used" did not come within the scope of the statute concerning possession of unregistered stills. Former Police Inspector Thomas W. Mullarkey and the letter's son, William, who had been ir dieted in connection with the case, are listed as fugitives from justice.

Union President Is Kidnaped and Robbed of $7,000 Edward White, president of the New York Photo Engravers Union, Local No. 1, was robbed of $7,000 In Nassau Manhattan, this morning, he reported to the police, by three men who kidnaped him and took him in an auto to the waterfront, where he was compelled to walk to the roof of a six-story tenement at 20 James Slip. White told the police that, although one of the bandits hailed him by name, he did not know the man. SHore Road 6-7000 would have realized otherwise is between $2,000,000,000 and 000,000. It matters little if the Government loses $150,000,000 for the savings it made to homes of farmers throughout this whole land.

It was throwing a regiment Into the front of the battle to lose, but saved millions. How Party Aided Farmers Directly and indirectly, the Federal Government has, during the last three years, poured Into the agricultural Industry nearly As I said before, grievous as his suffering may be, no Urmer can deny the undeviating Iriend-ship of the Republican party. Since the beginning of the economic crisis the Democratic party has shown an utter lack of cohesion on every important issue, and on none has it been more divided than on the tariff. Its leaders have run the scale from free trade to the highest possible protection. With falling prices and depreciated currencies overseas, there stands just one bulwark for the sal.

vation of our people. Without the rates of the Hawley-Smoot act of 1930, we would long since have been inundated by a flood of cheaply produced foreign products. Gentlemen of the opposition cried to high heaven against some of the rates that were being written into the bill. But while they thus wailed, they were not only voluntary but eager partners in the writing of duties for their local and State industries which in many cases even surpassed what stanch protectionist Republicans believed were necessary. Cites Votes on Tariff In the Senate alone 1,010 votes were cast for increases or against decreases by Democrats during consideration of the last tariff measure.

And the Democrats furnished the margin of votes that were necessary for final enactment of the measure! Even more recently In Congressional consideration of the budget balancing tax bill we have had further illustrations of the avidity with which the Democrats pursue high tariff rates. They generously supported duties on copper, coal, oil and lumber. And all this after two years of the most bitter and venomous denunciation of the Hawley-Smoot Act! Today partisaashlp is sublimated before patriotism. And yet to my mind there is no greater patriotism than the employment of every effort toward the restoration of normal conditions. And there can be no more dependable means to this end than the re-election of Herbert Hoover as President of the United States.
