DECLARES HOOVER IS CREDIT TO NATION iPrrsidenlial Candidate’s | Name Brings Outburst oS | L= | of Cheers from Crowd. BY G. GOULD LINCOL Senator Charles Curtis of Kan sas, vice-presidential nominee of |the Republican party, leaves no doubt as to where he stands on | the prohibition question. In his| speech of acceptance, delivered | last night in Topeka, Senator Curtis said: | “I believe in meeting an issue | squarely, therefore I state that not only am I heartily in favor of faithfully enforcing all our laws, but, further, I am opposed to the | repeal of the eighteenth amend- | ment or the Volstead act.” Plain and to the point. Senator | Curtis has been a supporter of the | dry cause for years. He has taken | this occasion to make the issuc between the Republican national ticket and the Democratic na- | tional ticket on this subject the | clearer. Gov. Smith, the Demo- | cratic standard bearer, has al-| ready declared his purpose to point the way to modification of | the dry laws if he be elected. First Kansan Nominated. The Kansas Senator, Republican leader of the Senate and a descendent on his mother’s side from some of the proudest and most powerful Indian chiefs of the older Kansas, is the first Kansan to be nominated on the na- pactse Speakiny as ng s | g night among friends and neighbors in Topeka as well as the thousands of visitors who came to the Kansas capital for the notifica- tion ceremonies, the Republican nom- inee for the second highest office in the land declared: “I accept the nomination of the Re- publican party for Vice President of the United States. It is not in the nature of man to refuse such a signal mark of political recognition.” Senator Curtis had been a candidate | for the nomination for President at the Kansas City convention and his friends had hoped for first place on the ticket for him. In his speech of acceptance | Senator Curtis praised highlv the | presidential nominee, Herbert Hoover, | saying Declares Hoover Well Fitted. “You have notified me that the man who has been nominated to the high office of President of the United States: who in a few short months is to lead our party to renewed victory. and our country to continued honor, happiness | and prosperity, is Herbert C. Hoover. He 1s well worthy of the party’s choice; 1 a credit to it and to the Nation, both | in the eyes of our people and of the world. His extensive knowledge. train- ing and experience well fit him to, guide the country wisely and justly to new heights of renown.” The veteran Senate leader called upon the Republicans to show a united front against the Democratic foe. “There must be no disloyalty within our own ranks, and there will be none,” he sald. “Republicans may quarrel time as this. Then they form and pre- sent a united impenetrable front.” Senator Curtis' nomination. made in recogntion of his ability and long public service, was made also with the hope of healing the sore spots in the Middle | West, due to the agricultural unrest, It was hailed as a wise move on the | part of the Republican leaders, and | | there is reason to think that it is al- ready having its effect in that section of the country. Senator Curtis sup- | ported the McNary-Haugen farm aid bill when it was before the Senate, al- though he declined to pass the meas- ure over President Coolidge's veto in the last Congress, pointing out that as Republican leader of the Senate he felt his duty to the party too strongly to ‘.w‘k to overide the President in this | | matter. Deals With Farm Problems. | | o, Coming from one of the great farm | | States, it was expected that Senator | Curtis would deal in his acceptance | speech with the farm problem and he | | did. He enumerated many measures | designed to aid the farmer which the | Republicans have placed on the statute | books, and other measures which have been proposed by Republicans in Con- | gress, but which failed of action.
