Bperial Dispatch to The Sta: CHICAGO, August 2 merican prosperity under Republican rule is the “prime issue of the campaign to be waged from now until November" for the re-election of a majority in both houses of Congress, Senator Phipps of Colorado, chalrman of the #enatorial campaign committee, an- nounced in a formal statement today Determination to make “prosperity and republicanism” the slogan of the campaign was reached at a con- ference of leaders here, attended by Senator Phipps, Senator Deneen of illinois, Representative Will R. Wood of Indiana, chairman of the Repub lican congressional campaign commit tee, and Representative Newton of Minnesota. chairman of the Repub. lican speakers’ bureau in the West Listing the achievements of the Republican Congress under the lead- ership of President Coolidge, Senator Phipps said these achlevements had been responsible in great part for the favorable conditions in this country today. The protective tariff, adequate immigration laws, tax reduction, econ- | omy in Government expenditures, ex- | tensions of credit to the farmers—all, he said, have been the work of the Republicans, and have had their share in making it possible for the country 1o recover from the post-war slump. Saving in Armaments. “The chief Senator Phipp. mplishment said is the greatest abundance of prosperity in the his- tory of Ameri He added that he did not wish to belittle any other ac- complishments of the Republican par- ty since the Democrats went out of power in 1921, whcih have been many and great “One of them." said Senator Phipps, vas the limitation of arms con ference. which saved the taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars which they otherwise would have had to pav within five vears for the coun try's naval building program.” Senator Phipps sald that certainly no Democrat would claim that nros. perity Is not here. If he did.” continued Senator Phipps, “every man and woman whe is employed at good wages, as con- trasted with 5,000,000 wage earners out of work in 1921, would laugh at him. Automobile production has doubled in that perfod. Gasoline out- put has advanced 25 per cent. Sav- ings bank deposits have doubled. Fac torles, mines and farms are working everywhere. The value of the farm crop is 30 per cent higher than in 1921. Likewise the value of manu- factured and mineral products is 2 per cent higher. Comparison of Wages. “The American workingman Is not urging that the party that brought all this prosperity be turned out of control in Congress. Our standard of living and our wages are the highest in the world. For instance, the aver age wage per week in the building trades in this country is $51.36 In Germany it is $7.14. Carpenters here veceive 64 per week. In England they receive $24.46. and, except for seasonal and vountary cau L all are at work in the United States. *Nor are the farmers of this coun- try, in my opinion, recommending a change in the complexion of Con- gress. During the height of the war perfod, when they had no competition and when there was a world-wide de mand for their products, they made top profits, with the exception of the wheat growers. who were held down to $2.26 per bushel by a Democratic administration, while cotton was per mitted to soar without limit. After the war there was a slump. There was no legislation to protect them. They had overextended. They had to curtall. Wheat selling at $1.12 tn 1921, But tc it is §1.37. Beef per 100 pounds was selling at $5.44 Today it is §10. Wool was 18 cents a pound. Today it Is 38 cents.” Senator Phipps said that the Re- publicans had adopted a policy of economy which has reduced expendi- tures per annum from $6.141,000,000 fn 1921 to approsimately $8,500,000,- 000 fn 1926: brought down the Na- tional debt $5.000,000.000. or 20 per cent. They made arrangements with foreign debtors for the payment of their debts, together with interest. They have brought about a reduction In taxes for all the people of $1.650,- 000,000 every vear below the figures of 1921. The married taxpayer, with- out other dependen nothing on an income of ar.

His arrival set off an explosion of bitter denunciation in some quarters, his critics charging him with disioy alty in campaigning openly against his colleague in the Senate and with meddling in State affairs in his cam- paign against Gov.
