It shall be a true cam- paign. We shall use words to convey our meaning, not hide it." again reverted to the same subject aid : In the past years. there has been corruption participated in by individual | officers and members of both political parties, in National, State and munici- pal aftairs. Too often thi has been viewed with indifference by a great number of our people. It would | seem unnecessary to state the elemental | requirement that government must in- ‘sph'e confidence not only in its ability, ibut in its integrity. Dishonesty in | government, whether National, State or municipal, is a double wrong. It is treason @ the state. It is destructive of self government.” Pays Tribute to Labor. To organized labor this country Mr. Hoover paid a high tribute, poir ing out that, unlike the trade union movement in other countries, in Amer- | ica it has been a stanch supporter of American individualism and American Institutions. Organized labor has awaited Mr Hoover's address with no little interes |in what he might say about the use of injunctions in labor disputes. The candidate had this to say “The Republican platform gives the pledge of the party to the support of labor. It indorses the principle of col- lective bargaining and freedom in la- bor disputes. We stand also -pledged | to the curtailment of excessive use of | the injunction in labor diputes ‘Throughout hi dress Mr, Hoover stressed the human side. If here and there he used figures and statis it was only to more strongly empha: the | fact that the business of government | is the good of the people, and that merc government is not the end of govern- ment. He said, for example: ‘Our party platform deals | with economic problems, but our Na- tion is not an agglomeration of rail- | roads, of ships, of factories, of dyna- | mos, ‘or statistics. | homes, a Nation of men, of women, | of children. Every man has a right | to ask of us whether the United States is & better place for him, his wife and his children to live in because the Re- publican party has conducted the Gov- ernment for nearly eight years. Every woman has a right to ask whether her life, her home, her man's job, her hopes her happiness, will be better assured by | the continuance of the Republican | party in power Emphasizes Benefits, | In that light Mr. Hoover went | with his discussion of public questions. | He painted a remarkable picture of the post-war readjustment and development in this country during the eight y of Republican” rule. He stressed par | ticularly the benefits which have come o America’s children in this period “Most of all,” he said, “I like to re- | member what this progress has meant to America’s children. The portai of their opportunity has been ever widening. While our population has grown bu 8 per cent, we have increased by 11 per cent the number of children in our grade schools, by 66 per cent the num- | ber in our high schools and by 75 per cent the number in our institutions of | higher learning.” Mr. Hoover's tribute to President | Coolidge and his leadership is not an unimportant part of his address. He gives to Mr. Coolidge full credit for bearing in large part the burden of Government in the period of recon- struction, and declares that the Nation | owes much to his leadership, He ex- pressed his own feeling of gratitude to the President under whom he has | worked for the last six years | I would violate my consclence and the gratitude I feel” sald Mr. Hoover, ‘did I not upon this occasion express | apprecation of the great President who | leads our party today.
