"The Republican party has ever been the exponent of pro- tecticn_ to all our people from com- petition with lower standards of liv- ing abroad. The republican prin- cipal of an effective control of im- ported goods, and of immigration, has contributed greatly to the pros- perity of our country. A general reducfion of the tariff would injure every home in the country." Prosperity. "Our preeminent ad- vance over nations in the last eight years has been due to distinctively American accomplishments. We do not owe these accomplishments to our vast natural resources; these we have' always had. It is our human resources that have changed. We are more capable than ever before whether in the work of farm, factory or business, owing to our magnificent educational system, to the hard working character of our people, the capacity for far-sighted leadership in industry, the ingenuity, the daring of the pioneers of new inventions, the abolition of the saloon and the wis- dom of our national policies. I have said that the problems before us are more than economic; that in much greater degree they are moral and spiritual. I hold that there rest upon government many responsibili- ties which affect the spiritual wel- fare of our people." Prohibition. "I do not favor the repeal of the eighteenth amend- ment. I stand for the efficient en- forcement of the laws enacted there- under. Whoever is chosen president has under his oath the solemn duty to pursue this course. "Our country has deliberately undertaken a great social experi- ment, noble in motive and far reach- ing in purpose. It must bé worked out constructively. oe compels us to to realize that grave abuses have occurred, abuses which must be remedied. Crime and disobedience to law cannot be permitted to break down the constitution and laws of the United States. Modification of the laws which would permit that which the constitution forbids is nullification. This the American peo- ple will not countenance. Change in the constitution must be brought about only by the straight-forward methods provided by the constitution itself. The Republican party denies the right of any one to destroy the purposes of the constitution by in- direction." Agriculture. "The most urgent economic problem in our nation to- day is in agriculture. It must be solved if we are to bring prosperity and contentment to one-third of our people directly and to all of our ple indirectly. We have pledged ourselves to find a solution. The farm is more than a business, it is a state of living. An adequate tariff is the foundation of farm relief. Agriculture was not upon a sound basis before the war.

Ander- Republican Women of Winnetka IN REPLY TO LETTER PUBLISHED IN WINNETKA TALK OCTOBER 13, 1928 Quote Words of Candidate Hoover on Major Issues The Executive Committee of the Winnetka Woman's Hoover-for-President Club sets forth, in reply to recent publications and in the order there used the stand of Mr. Hoover on the tariff, pros- perity, prohibition, agriculture, religion and party Mr. Hoover's words are quoted on August thirteenth. doned farms of the northeast bear their own testimony. Generally, there was but little profit in mid- west agriculture for many years ex- cept that derived from the slow in- crease of farm-land values. The working out of agricultural relief constitutes the most important obli- gations of the next administration, There are many causes for the fail- ure of agriculture to win its share of national prosperity. Differences of opinions as to both causes and remedy have retarded the completion of a constructive program of farm relief. It is our plain duty to search out the common ground on which we may mobilize the sound forces of agricultural reconstruction." "The object of our policies is to establish for our farmers an income equal to those of other occupations; for the farmer's wife the same com- forts in her home as women in other groups ; for the farm boys and girls the same opportunities in life as have other boys and girls." "So far as my own abilities may be of service I dedicate them to help secure prosperity and contentment in that industry where I and my fore- fathers were born, and nearly all my family still obtain their livelihood." Religion. "In this land dedicated to tolerance we still find outbreaks of intolerance. I come of Quaker stock. My ancestors were persecuted for their beliefs. Here they sought and found religious freedom. y blood and conviction I stand for re- ligious tolerance both in act and spirit. The glory of our American ideals is the right of every man to worship God according to the dic- tates of his own conscience." Party Responsibility. 'In the past years there has been corruption par- ticipated in by individual officials and members of both political par- ties, in national, state and municipal airs. Too often this corruption has been viewed with indiffexence by a great number of our people. It would seem unnecessary to state the elemental requirement that govern- ment must inspire confidence, not only in its ability but in its integrity. Dishonesty in government, whether national, state or municipal, is a double wrong. It is treason to the state. It is destructive of self gov- ernment. Government in the United States rests not only upon the con- sent of the governed but upon the conscience of the nation. Moral in- competency by those intrusted with government is a blighting wind upon private integrity. There must be no place for cynicism in the creed of America." "The participation of women in politics means a clearer realization of the importance of these questions. One-half of our citizens fail to exer- cise the responsibilities of the ballot box. I would wish that the women of our country could embrace this problem in citizenship as peculiarly their own." major issues of this campaign reveals his purposes, ideals and character as a man whom we should be proud to make the President of our country.

The game throughout was closely con- tested with neither side having any sizable advan- tage. In hearing the story from an excited fan the game appears as a fairy tale or a movie thriller. With but 30 seconds to play, our valiant "Agate" Martin hero steps in the limelight "a la Red Grange" and makes a spectacular play to win the game. The locals played a fine brand of football in the second quarter when they took the ball on their 20 yard line and made a march to the opponents' 6 yard line, where their march was halted by the termination of the first half. During the intermission Coach Doepel must have pulled some Rockne master-minding, for the boys came out on the field with the pep and vigor seen only at a college game with a championship at stake. The team again started on a rampant march, PIANO INSTRUCTION EARLE B. ARMIL of the American Conservatory Chicago Announces the opening of a Winnetka Studio 787 Foxdale Avenue Telephone Winnetka 2366 when Red Cassell, the center de luxe of the locals, was forced from the game with a broken bone in his ankle. Eckart, who seconded for Cassell, played a sterling game but does not instill the spirit which Red gives the boys. The march was halted when the Maroons intercepted a pass and were to have their share of the glory only to have it snatched away in the last few minutes of play. Martin Does His Stuff Capt. Johnson of the visitors took the ball and was loose from the field only to have his legs get mixed, stum- bling on Winnetka's 20 yard line. On the next play a lateral pass was in- tercepted by "Agate" Martin, who raced down the field and was stopped on the Maroon's 7 yard line. Two more plays towards the center of the field and the setting for a perfect victory was arranged for the locals. With but thirty seconds to play, Martin decided that his educatd toe was the tool to use on the next play. The ball was hurled back to Baker, who held a placement for Martin, and the oval went soaring over the cross bars midst the cheers of the excited fans, thus terminating the game. Next Sunday the locals will engage the Chicago Bellwoods, who are quite well respected among the Prairie teams of Chicago. The crowd is turning out in fine numbers for these contests. The locals have not had a point scored on them this season. The manage- ment of the Winnetka football team wishes to announce that Sunday the fans are to have a real surprise in stock in the way of a new star. This player is being kept under cover and the rooters are promised some real thrills when No. 16 steps on the field.
