R. D. WOODS; j " ^ County Clerk. JuJy 28, 1936. , • *r wo.-rThe vagu<fc.: Unsuccessful economic experiments known as the New Deal were charged with "delaying recovery" and "with responsibility for the ten million still unemployed" by Colonel Frank Knox in his address accepting the Republican nomination for vicepresident. Colonel Knox spoke be-, fpre a wildly enthusiastic crowd which filled to overflowing the huge Chicago stadium. Senator Frederick Steiwer;of Oregon gave the official address of notification. In his opening remarks, Colonel Knox pointed out that Senator Steiwer had struck the keynote of the campaign with "his clear call to all citizens to join in a crusade for sound government in America." After accepting this call to- service, the vice-presidential nominee referred briefly to the fact "he began to work as a small boy in a small town in Michigan." He epitomized his war service when he said: "Long years ago I learned as a buck private the lessons of duty and loyalty." "In this spirit of service,, I accept the call of my party. I pledge myself to the principles of sound and horjest government. I pledge my personal loyalty to that great governor of a prairie state, the next President of the United Statefe t±»e Honorable Alf LandOn." People to Decide Colonel Knox then pointed out that in the coming election it will be necessary for the people to decide whether th^ "administration in office has met its responsibilities honestly and fairly and wisely." "From the day that it took office," Colonel Knox said, "it embarked on a series of hysterical experiments on the economic life of a burdened people. At a time when universal cooperation was a necessity, it initiated a campaign of abuse and vilification of business men. At a tim^'when the credit of the country should have been strengthened it inaugurated a policy of credit adulteration and currency experiment that demoralized foreign trade and frightened domestic finance. It set up a system of regimentation of industry that reduced production and prevented .reemployment. By coercion of Congress it forced the passage of reform measures so recklessly drawn that they hamstrung |he revival of enterprise and paralyzed the renewal of investment. It installed a regimentation of agriculture that destroyed food and reduced foreign markets and increased the cost of living and multiplied the expense of telief. "At a time when private industry was struggling desperately for a new start it set up governmental enterprise to" compete with private business. At a time when the burden of taxation was already hard to-bear it embarked on a policy -of squandering public funds and increasing the weight of taxes. At a time when united effort and mutual good will would have completed recovery it promoted sectional hatred and class strife. At a time when returning business confidence was ending depression it began a campaign to terrorize business and subjugate the banks. At a time when confidence in the character of government was vital, it established a spoils system. At a time when the economic system was worn and emaciated it performed major surgical operations upon the industrial* body to see what was inside. It adopted an economic philosophy of scarcity and forced it upon a hungry and distressed people." Even though the New Deal "failed in its job," Colonel Knox declared that recovery could not be permanently blocked by "governmental error," but on^JT "retarded and discouraged." ^ Delays Recovery. Without mincing words and straight from the shoulder came his: '. "I charge the present administration with delaying recovery, in the United States and in the world. I charge the present administration with responsibility for the ten million still unemployed." The nominee next turned his attention tt\- the broad view of the New Deal, which he described as "This policy of government by guess, officially explained by President' Roosevelt as founded on a philosophy of try-anything-once. It began with a proposal for a belt of trees in a territory that Nature had decided should not have trees. It is ending with the use of public funds to conduct classes in tapdancing." Colonel Knox pointed out the major New Deal agencies, the AAA, the PWA, the CWA, the WPA and devaluation of the dollar were old in history Jaefore America was discovered and that they had failed in Babylon, Rome and England centuries ago. "In reviewing the principles of the Republican party, the nominee asserted that "It disapproves a government of men instead of a government of law. It prefers a .government guided by constitutions M iss Catherine McGuire of Kankakee. 111., is spending a few days with her sifter, Mrs. Frank Henkel.

The emphasis given to labor legislation and policies during the last three .years makes these current fam-, ily fueds an important matter with *>l,ess reaHy intended is employers and the professional vote- ^ to the last minute grabbing class. Twined pbservers for *1*^ ."w-^en ^ ,was business practices and taxation have provided sufficient -problems to keep the Federal enforcement agencies active during what would otherwise be regarded as a dull season. The Robinson- Patman price discrimination bill, popularly labeled the anti-cha'in store measure, furnished innumerable questions which will require months and probably years-of litigation to answer. A wide diversity of opinions handed down by their lawyers have confused the management of great industrial and distributing organizatibns as to what they may do in a legal way. The' Federal Trade . Commission, charged with administrating the law, has been of little or no help to harassed and puzzled merchants and manufacturers.

A minute later, Colonel Knox gave a pledge to the people with the statement: "Whatever concrete " measures the Republican Party has in mind will be presented to the voters before election, not after. And whatever measures the Republican administration may urge upon Congress, not one will flout the Constitution of the United States. Notone will violate the obligation of contracts. Not one will break a promise." Earlier in his address, the candidate had referred to. the fact that the New Deal plans and experiments were not contained in the 1936 Democratic platform. Amateur Experimenters. Avoiding any and all mention of personalities, Colonel Knox drove home telling blow after telling blow: , "For more than three years the economic life of the country has been at the mercy of a crew of amateur experimenters, hacking at the vitals of American industry, agriculture, commerce and finance." "It is how a race between exhaustion^ rof^ Fetierarr~CT^tt coming of natural recovery. It is a race between inflation and the revival of normal businesalfoctivity." "It (the New Deal) means Federal control over local business, over local bank credit, over local wages, over local conditions of work. It leads t© Federal regimentation of the labor, the business, and the home of every American citizen. It leads to price-fixing and production control by Federal authority. It leads inevitably to the extinction of the small business man, to the end Of free enterprise in America." Coercive Control. Colonel Knox specifically referred to the -New Deal monetary policy with the declaration that "coercive control of bank credit leads unavoidably to control of investment and that leads to the end of competitive industry and free enterprise." Mentioning Mr. Roosevelt by name, the nominee asserted "no one man can successfully guide the course of industry for a great nation." After stating his belief that the American people do not desire "to reorganize the American economic system by experiment," Colonel Knox said: "The people want recovery, not ^rhetoric. Theywant economy, not waste. They want work, not relief. They want cooperation among the partners in production, not industrial strife. They want order in economic life, not an - occasional breathing spell. They want dignity in government, not a merry-goround." In his final statements, Colonel Knox turned to what the people can expect from the Republican party and asserted that "the Republican platform appeals to the "whole people", to the "sincere Democrats" and to the "millions of thrifty and hard-working people". He continued: "It (The Republican party) does promise a fair and honest government. It does promise that this government will be as economical and efficient as it can be made. It does promise to make every effort to install sensible ajid practical measures to help in, the solution of the problems of trade and industry and agriculture, the problems Of poverty and insecurity." , m par with the corner grocery, are still. | awaiting the great day.

A small difference in price per hundredweight or per bushel may mean a big difference in a yearYprofits. That is one reason farmers Regard the farm telephone as a necessity. A recent survey showed that 44 per cent of the usage of the average farm telepjltmr is for calls having to do with operation of the farm-- calls regarding prices for farm products, farm help,, farm repairs, farm supplies. If these errands had to be "run" by the farmer in person or even by messenger they would have cost many times more than the telephone. Progressive farmers will not allow the small cost of a telephone to deprive them of the- steady profit which the telephone builds up, day by day.
