In opening his address Gov. Ritchie said that in speaking for state rights he has found that he has been “various- Iy regarded —sometimes as an office secker after a slogan, sometimes as a political mossback who hasn't heard of the Civil War, sometimes as one who would hold lightly the Constitution he ‘was taught to revere.” { Enumerating many activities in which | he said the Pederal Government has in- | terfered in the rights of States, Gov. | Ritchie declared that he believed that the cardinal rule of government in its relationship to business should be to prevent abuse. “The best political, and therefore the best economic. y business can; have today,” he said, “is to keep politi- cal power diversified. An active and belligerent propaganda might easily | stampede a given Congress into passing laws ruinous to business.

Most of the delegates to the State session were pledged to the presidential candidacy of Frank O.-Lowden of Ilii- nois. How the Iowa delegation should be instructed for the Kansas City con- vention, however, was to be determined by the State meeting. Lowden was cxtolled as “the living spirit of the Republican platform on ag- riculture” by M. J. Tobin of Vinton, who made the keynote speech of the convention. He charged that the Re- | publican national administration had |failed to keep the party’s promise to agriculture, and that the McNary Haugen bill should have been signed the President. He sounded a warning to the leaders of the Republican party in the Nation that “such treatment is no longer to be tolerated.” “We are neither slaves nor knaves,” he said. “We are Americans, not beg- ®a We are seeking the economic justice and equality which is ours be- cause, as Americans, we are entitled to economic equality.” \tion under the unit rule and unin- i structed. | Senator Ferris previously had de- | Republicans, in State convention here clined to discuss the subject of his|yesterday, enthusiastically indorsed the | candidacy for Senator and his support | presidential candidacy of ~ Senator of Gov.
