In keeping with the forward-look- ing welfare program of the Terri- tory, we favor the establishment, as the need arises, of a home for aged women. XX. We favor the abolition of the contract system of caring for the insane from Alaska.

He reviewed .me platform planks in his conten- tion which intended to show the purpose had not been realized. | “How can you balanée your bud- jget if you insist on spending more /money than you take in?” he asked. Roosevelt's spending policy has not paid dividends, the speaker declared. H 2,000 Hear Address Mr. Smith spoke before 2,000 per- sons at the dinner of the Liberty League organization which has been a caustic critic of many Rooseveltian policies. He said he spoke as a Dem- speak against a Democratic admin- tration, but that he put patriotism before party. { The Rooseveiuun policies, the former New York Governor said, had not solved either the farm or unem- ployment problems. He warned against the dangers of class war | and “bureaucratic suppression of American liberties” as alleged dan- gers of the New Deal.
