That is not the of dishonesty. The Government is sound. But individuals charged with wrongdoing are being prose- cuted. The people of this country hate corruption. They know my po- sition. They know the law will be enforced.’ And further along he said: “I propose to use every possible effort to resist corruption in office The American Government must be clean.” The farmers and the foreign rela- tions of the country—both points upon which the opposing candidates have assailed the Republican admin- istration—were dealt with fully by the President.

Aid to Farmers. Turning to the farmers and the de- plorable plight which came to many of them in the post war period, President Coolidge described the vari- ous measures adopted by the Re- publicans to aid them, pointing out that as many as fifteen laws been put on the statue books since 1921, for their benefit, including the higher duties on food stuffs, the broadening of the powers of the War Finance Corporation, and the credits extended to the farmers. The President called attention to the fact that the condition of the farmers 5 | has recently been bettered materially, e in world supply.of farm products.
