MURRAY FORESEES PERIL OF ANARCHY Chicago Labor Warned 1. S. Faces Worse Conditions Under Present Evils. By the Associated Press. CHICAGO. September 8.—Gov. Wil- lam H. Murray, Oklahcma's “Alfalfa Bill,” counselled the lab°ring man terday to “have patience and vot: Whether veting “well” meant voting for William H. Murray for President, the fiery Governor did not specifically way. He did say, howover, that what the country needed was a man who was “intelligent enough not to be deceived. brave en-ugh nct to be intimidated end honest enough not to be bought.” And he delivered a forceful warning against “business men candidates.” “Alfalfa Bill” expounded his theories of economics and government in an hour and a half extemporaneous talk in Soldiers’ Field, Chic2go's giant stadium on the lake front. The occasion was & Labor day celebration sponsored by the Chicago Federation of Labor. The Ok- lahoman was the chief attraction. Warns of Anarchy Peril. He was driven with cons!derable cere- | mony to the center of the sod field Gov. Murray, a felt hat pulled down cver one eye and a cigar stump clench- ed in his teeth, rode in the back of a shining open car. Clearing the way was & motor cycle escort, There was much confusion, photogra- phers had to be satisfied, a florists’ and gardeners’ uni'n had a large bouquet to present to the Oklahoma Governor and other dignitaries must be intro- duced to the crowd. Finally “Alfalfa Bill" began in a booming voice, speaking | without_notes. | He told the assembled union laborers | and others that a government demands much of its citizens in times of war | and otherwise and that when a citizen is helpless, unemployed, it is the duty of government to see that every man has a job or at least something to eat. “But I say to you,” he shouted, “that conditions will be worse in 12 months | than they are now. And, unless the present_economic system is changed in | the 1932 election, unemployment will become so great that the Government can no longer prevent anarchy.” Would Change Bank System. For a return to a “constitutional government” and a correction of “pres- | Domino Largest selling Cane Sugar On the air Saturday nights at 8.30 “Sweeten it with Domino” ent economic ills,” Gov. Murray had several suggestions. In the first place, he would have th: banking system changed. The members of a nation’s banking board should not be bankers, he said, but producers and marketers—the users of money. Credit should be extended to the “little man,” tha tax on State banks should be repealed and a banking borrow three-fourths the value of their crops before they were marketed, he sald. ‘Taxes, the Governor asserted, should the citizen to pay and to the benefits he derives from the Government.” In the rich man needs police protection for his life and property and also more legislation b#zause of his property than does the poor man. “By all means protect the rich man,” he added. “Use every ounce of power for the protection of ‘person and prop- ;mfi But my idea is—make him pay or it.” Assails Political Parties. Gov. Murray said the tariff should be the difference of the cost of production in the United States and in foreign countries and that it should include grains and cotton as well as manu‘c- tured products. He also mentioned shorter hours for labor as one of his suggested rem: < “Alfalfa Bill” was particularly severe | in dealing with politicians and political | parties. Himself a suggested candidate | for the Democratic nomination, he said AMERICAN system formed whercby farmers could | be assessed “according to the ability of | cxplanation of the “benefits.” he said | THE that unless an honest straightforward platform, such as he suggested, were adopted, he did not care “if anybody is nominated.” “I am one of those who believe politi- cal parties were made for the country and not that the country was made for g?litlcal partles,” he said as he started s address. Later, in referring to his suggested economic reforms, he asserted the changes must be made ‘“even if we have to destroy both political parties in this country. | “Alfalfa Bill" was con’emptuous of | “business men candidates.” The public | gets from such a candidate just what it might expect, he said, “a business man's administration.” “If you will look closely at these business men’ candidates,” said Gov. Murray, “you will see that there is al- ways some utility backing them with the idea of ‘trade-trade.’ “As far as I'm concerned, we're going | to lick them or they'll lick us.” The laboring man must be patient now, he said, and look ahead to the coming election. “Cast your vote well,” | he shouted. “Cast not a geographic | vote, nor a church vote, nor a ladge | vote, but a vote for political principles, | & vote for what is right.” Prohibition he disposed of with the | statement: “I am not going to worry | about where to get a drink until we | make enough to buy food for ev"l?::',dz | drink. Then will be plenty &‘ time to | worry about a drink.” Gov. Murray left for Oklahoma City at 7 pm., Central standard time.
