There was some of the same sort of thing in the Republican Na- tional Convention in which the vice presidential nomination awarded to Curtis on the grounds of party’s gratitude for past loyal service: In the negotiations here last Friday Texas and Califo d, respectively, by Garner and_ McAdoo, decided to hrow victory to Roosevelt. At first the notion was discussed by giving the vice presidential nomination to McAdoo. | That was rejected partly on the ground that McAdoo the ticket, being so conspicuously a dry, would undo much | of the effect that had been gained by adopting the wettest possible pldfor: It was decided to give the vic pres dential prize to Garner. There has been an immense buzz of curicsity as to| why Garner would want the vice presi- dency. The speakership is in every | estimation, and in the formal ranking | of Government officers, by far the better post and the more important one. In- evitably it was surmised that Garner must have been disappointed with his brief career in the Speaker's cffice. It is a fact that some of the more im- portant Democrats in the House haye been less than contented with Garner's management of the speakership, and will be pleased with the opportunity to give the post to another.

Let us feel that in every- thing we do there still lives wiih us, if not the body, the great in- domitable, unquenchable progressive soul of our commander in chief, Woodrow Wilson. I have many things on which I want to make my position clear at the earliest possible moment in this campaign. _That admirable docu- ment, the platform which you have adopted, is clear. I accept it 100 per cent And you cen accept my pledge t I will leave no doubt or a on where I stand on a of moment in this o biguity question paign War on “Republican Leadership " As we enter this new battle. let with us some of the Is of the party—the fact that the Democratic party by tra tion and by the continuing logic of history, and present, is the bearer of liberalism and of progress and at the same time of safety to our institutions. And if this appeal fails, remember well, my friends, that a resentment sagainst ‘he failure of Republican leadership and note well that in this campaign I shall not use the words “Repub- lican party,” but I shall use, day in and day out, the words, “Repub- lican leadership” —the failure of Republican leaders to solve our troubles may degenerate into un- reasoning radicalism. The great social phenomenon of this depressicn, unlike others before it, 15 that it has produced but & few of the disorderly manifesta- tions that too often attend upon such times. While radicalism has converts, and the greate: 1 can pay to my count in these days there persists an orde \d_hopeful spirit on the part of the millio our people who have suffe much, to fail to offer them a new chance is mot only to betray their hopes. but to misunderstand their patience. Reconstruction Urged. To meet by reaction that danger of radicalism is to invite disaster. Reaction is no barrier to the radical— it is a challenge, a provocation. The way to meet that danger is to offer a workable program of reconstruc- tion, and the party to offer it is the party with clean hands This, and this only, is a proper protection against blind reaction on the one hand and an improvised hi or-miss, irresponsible opportunism on the other. There are tWo way Government's d in matters af- fecting economic and sock life. The first sees to it that a favored few are helped and hopes that some of their prosperity will leak through, sift through, to labor, to the farmer, to the small business man. That theory belongs to the party of Tory- ism, and I had hoped that most of the Torys left this country in 1776. But it is not and never will be the theory of the Democratic party. This is no time for fear, for reaction or for timidity, and here and now I invite those nominal Republicans who find that their conscience can- not be squared with the groping and the failure of their party leaders to join hands with us. Here and now, in equal measure, I warn those nom- inal Democrats who squint at the future with their fa turned to- ward the past, and who féel no r sponsibility to the demands of the new times, that they are out of step with their party Pleads for Greatest Good. Yes, the people of this country want a genuine choice this year, not a choice between two names for the same reactionary doctrine. Ours must be a party of liberal thought, of planned action, of enlightened international outlook and of the greatest good to the greatest num- ber of our citizens ble—and the Now it vi hoice is th of the tim 1t is In- able that the main issue of this campaign should revolve about the clear facts of our economic tion—a dep without precedent It will not do merely to state Republican leaders broken promise of continu tion, that the depression is wide.

Those id to part normou: up, _the Wi corpor the banks Why blink with it. Credit contract. Industry stopped. Commerce declined and unemployment mounted. And there we are today. Translate that into human terms. See how the events of the past three years have come home ‘to specific groups of people. First, the group dependent on industry; second, the group dependent upon agriculture; third, and made up in large part of members of the first two groups, the people who are called “small investors and depositors”; in fact, the strongest possible tie between the first two groups, agriculiure and industry, is the fact that the savings and to a degree this security of both are tied together in that third group —the credit structure of the Nation. Interests Declared United. Never in history have the inter- ests of all the people besn so united in a single economic problem. Pic- ture to yourself, for instance, the great groups of property owned by mi of our citizens represented by credits issued in the form of bonds and mortgages—Government bonds, of all kinds, Federal, State, county, municipal—bonds of indus- trial companies, of utility companies, mortgages on real estate in farms and cities and finally the vast in- vestments of the Nation in the rail- roads. What is the measure of the security of each of those groups? We know well that in our compli- cated interrelated credit structure, if any one of these credit groups collapses, they may all collapse. Danger to one is danger to all And how, I ask, has the present administration in Washington treat- ed the interrelationship of these credit groups? The answer is clear: It has not recognized that inter- relationship existed at all. Why, the Nation asks, has Washington failed to understand that all of these groups, each and every one, the top of the pyramid and the bottom of the pyramid, must be considered to- gether. That each and every one of them is dependent on every other: each and every one of them affecting the whole financial fabric? Statesmanship and visior my friends, require rellef to all at the same time. e Discusses Taxes. Just one word or two on taxes, the taxes that all of us pay toward the cost of government of all kinds. Well, T know something of taxes. For three long vears I have been going up and down this country preaching _that government—Fed- eral and State and local—costs too much. 1 shall not stop that preach- ing. As an immediate program of action, we must abolish useless of- fices, We must eliminate actual per- formance of government functions, in fact. that are not definitely es- sential to the continuance of govern- ment. We must merge must consolidate—subdivisions of govern- ment like the private citizen, give up luxuries which we can no longer afford By our example at Washington it- self we shall have the opportunity of pointing the way of economy to local government, for let us remem- ber well that out of every tax dollar in the average State in this Nation, 40 cents enters the Treasury in Washington, D. C.: 10 or 12 cents only go to the State capitals and 48 cents_out of every dollar are con- sumed by the costs of local govern- ment in counties and citfes and towns. I propose to you, my friends, and through you, that government of all kinds, big and little, be made solvent and that the example be set by the President of the United States and his cabinet And talking about setting a definite example, I congratulate this conven- tion for having had the courage, fearlessly, to write into its declara- tion of principles what an over- whelming majority here assembled really thinks about the eighteenth amendment. This convention wants repeal. Your candidate wants repeal. And I am confident that the United States of America wants repeal. Sees Dry Law Doomed. Two years ago the platform on hich I ran for Governor the sec- ond time contained substantially the asme provision. The overwhelming ntiment of the people of my State hown by the vote of that year extends, I know, to the people of many of the other States. I say to you now that from this date on the eighteenth amendment is doomed. When that happens, we as Demo- crats must and will, rightly and morally enable the States to protect themselves against the importation of intoxicating liquor where such importation may violate their State laws. We must rightly and morally prevent the return of the saloon To go back to this dry subject of finance, because it all ties in to- gether, the eighteenth amendment has something to do with finance, 100, in a comprehensive planning for the reconstruction of the great credit ps, including Government credit, t an important place for that me statement of principle in the platform here adopted calling for the letting in of the light of day on issues of securities, foreign and do- mestic, which are offered for sale to investing public. My friends, you and I ss common- sense citizens know that it would help to protect the savings of the country from a dishonesty of crooks and from the lack of honor of some men in high financial places. Pub- licity is the enemy of crookedness. Favors Public Works. And now word about unem- ployment, and incidentally about Iture. I have favored the use ertain type: public works, as rther emergency means of stimu- lating employment and the jssuance { bo for such public works, pointed out that no e is served if we merely build without building for a necessary purpose. Such works, of course, should in so far as possible be self-sustaining, if they are to be financed by the issuing of bonds. So to spread the points of all kinds widely as possible, we must take steps to shorten the working day and the working week Let common sense and busine and, just as one ex- amp! know that a very hopeful and jmmediate means of relief, both for the unem 'd and for agriculiure, will come from a wide plan of the converting of many mil- lions of acres of marginal and un- v nd into timber land through reforestation. There are tens of millions of acres east of the Missis- sippi River alone in abandoned farms, in cutover land, now growing up in worthless brush. Why, every Europ: nation has a definite Jand policy and has had one for gener- ations. We have not; having none, we face the future of soil erosion and timber famine. It is clear that economic foresight and immediate employment march hand in hand in the call for the reforestation of these vast areas In so doing, employment can be n 1 a millicn men. That is the one Governor Denounces Hypocrisy, Stresses | | kind of public work that is self- sustaining — and therefore capable of being financed by the issuance of bends which are mac: secure by the fact that the grrwth of tremendous crops will provide adequate security for the investment. Yes, I have a very definite pro- gram for providing employment by that means. I have done it, and I am doing it today in the State of New York. I know that the Demo- cratic party can do it successfully in the Nation. Tha: will put men to work, and that is an example of the action that we are going to have. Now as a further aid to agricul- ture we know perfectly wcll, but have we come out and said so clearly and distinctly? We should repeal immediately those provisions of law that compel the Federal Govern- ment to go into the markets to purchase, to sell, to speculate in farm products in a futile attempt to reduce the farm suipluses. And they are the people that are talking of keeping Government out of business. Why, the practical way to help the farmer is by an arrangement that will, in addition to lightening some of the impoverishing burdens from his back, do somethmng toward the reduction of the surpluses of staple commodities that hang on the mar- ket. It should be our aim to add to the world prices of staple products the amount of a reasonable tariff protection, give agriculture the same protection that industry has today. Against World Dumping. And in exchange for this imme- diately increased relurn I am cure that the farmers of this Nation would agree uliimately to such plan- ning of the'r production as would reduce the surpluses apd make it unnecessary in later yéars to de- pend on dumping those surpluses abroad in_order to support domestic prices. That result has been ac- complished in other nations, why not in’ America, too? Farm leaders, farm economists generally agree that a plan based on that principle is a desirable first step in the reconstruction of agri- culture, It does not in itself fur- nish a complete program, but it will serve in great measure i the long run to remove the pall of & surplus without the continued perpetual fret of world dumping. Voluntary reduction of surplus is & part of our objective, but the long continuance and the present burden of existing surpluses make it necessary to re- pair great damage of the present by immediate emergency measures, Such & plan as that, my friends, does not cost the Government any money nor does it keep the Govern- ment in business or In speculation. Willing to Aid Farmer. And as to the actual wording of a bill, I believe that the Democratic party stands ready to be guided by whatever the responsible farm groups themselves agree on. That is a principle that is soung, and again I ask for action. One word about the rarmer, and I know that every delegate that lives in the city in this hall knows why I lay emphasis on the farmer. It is because one-half of our population, over 50,000,000 people, are dependent on agriculture; and my friends, if these 50,000,000 peopie have no money, no cash to buy what is pro- duced in the city, the city suffers to an equal or a greater extent. And that is why we are going to make the voters understand this year that this Nation is not merely a nation of independence, but it is, if we are to survive, bound to be a nation of interdependence, town and city, and North and South, East and W ‘That is our goal, and that goal will be understood by the peo- ple of this country no matter where they live. Yes, the purchasing power of that half of our population dependent on agriculture is gone. Farm mortgages reach nearly 10 billions of dollars today and interest charges on that alone are $560,000,000 a vear. But that is not all. The tax burden caused by extravagant and ineffi- clent local government is an addi- tional factor. Our most immediate concern should be to reduce the in- terest burden on these mortgages. Rediscounting of farm mortgages under salutary restrictions must be expanded and should, in the future, be conditioned on the reduction of interest rates. Amortization pay- ments, maturities, should likewis> in this crisis be extended before redis- count is permitted where the mort gagor is sorely pressed. That, my friends, is another example of prac- tical, immediate relief. Action. Asks Saving of Homes. I aim to do the same thing, and it can be done, for the small home owner in cur cities and villages. We can lighten his burden and develop his purchasing power. Take away, my friends, that spectre of too high an interest rate Take away that specter of the due-date just a short time away. Save hdmes, save homes for thousands of self-re- specting families and drive out that specter of insecurity from our midst Out of all the tons of printed paper, out of all the hours of oratory, the recriminations, the defenses, the happy-thought plans in Washington and in every State, there emerges one great, simple, crystal-pure fact that during the past 10 years a nation of 120,000,000 has been led by the Re- publican leaders to erect an impreg- nable barbed-wire entanglement around its borders through the in- strumentality of tariffs which have jsolated us from all the other human beings in_all the rest of the round world I accept that admirable tariff statement in_the platform of this convention. It would vprotect American business and American labor. For Friendly Relations. By our acts of the past we have invited and received the retaliation of other nations. I propose an in- vitation to them to forget the past, to sit at the table with us. as friends, and to plan with us for the restora- tion of the trade of the world. Go into the home of the business man. He knows what the tariff has done for him. Go into the home of the factory worker. He knows why goods do not move. Go into the home of the farmer. He knows how the tariff has helped to ruin him Yes, at last our eyes are open; at e American people are ready owledge that Republican rship was wrong and that the Democracy s right ogram of which T can only these points, is based upon this simple moral princi the welfare and the soundness of a nation depénds first upon what the great mass of the peovle wish and need. and. sec- ondly, whether or not they are get- ting it Work and Securiy. What do the people of America want more than anything else? In my mind two things: Work, work with 21l the moral and spiritual values that go with work, and with work., a reasonable measure of se- curity—security for themselves and for their wives and children. Wotk security—these two are more an words. They are more than a They are the spiritual values, the true goal toward which our ef- forts of reconstruction shculd lead. These are the values that this pro- gram is intended to gain. These the values we have failed to achiev by the leadership we now have. Our Republican leaders tell us economic laws—sacred, inviolable, unchangeable—that these laws cause panics which no one could prevent. But while they prate of economic jaws, men and women are starving. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature.. They are made by human beings. Yes, when, not if, when, we get the chance, the Federal Government will assume bold leadership in dis- tress relief. For years, Washington has_alternated between putting its head in the sand and saying there is no large number of destitute people in our midst who need food and clothing, and then saying the States should take care of them, if they are. Instead of planning two and a half years ago to do what they are now trying to do, they kep putting it off from day to day an week to week, and month to mont! until the consclence of America demanded action. I say that while primary responsi- bility for relief rests with localities now, as ever, yet the Federal Gov- ernment has always had and still has a continuing responsibility for the broader public welfare. It will soon fulfill that responsibility. Against Ceremonies. And now, just a few words about our plans for the next four months By coming here instead of waiting for a formal notification I have made it clear that I believe we should eliminate expensive cere- monies, and that we should set in motion’at once, tonight, my friends, the necessary machinery for an adequate presentation of the issues to the electorate of the Nation. I myself have important duties as Gov- ernor of a great State. Duties which in these times are more arduous and more grave than at any previous period, and yet I feel confident that I shall be able to make a number of short visits to several parts of the Nation and my trips will thefr first objective a studs hand from the lips of men and of women of all parties and all occupa- tions, the actusl conditions and needs of every part of an interde- pendent country, One word more: Out of every crisls, every tribulation, every disas- ter, mankind rises with some share of greater knowledge, of higher de- cency, of purer purpose, Today we shall ‘have come through a period of loose thinking and descending morals, an era of selfishness, of in- dividual men and women and of whole nations. Blame not govern- ments alone for this. Blame our- selves an equal share. Let us be trank in acknowledgment of the truth that many amongst us have made obeisance to “mammon,” that the profits of speculation, the easy road without toil, have lured us from the old barricades. To return to higher standards we must ebandon the false prophets and seek new leaders of our own choosing. Stresses Contrast. Never before in modern history have the essential differences be- tween the two major American parties stood out in such striking contrast as they do today. Republic- an leaders not only have failed in material things, they have failed in national vision, because in disaster they have held out no hope, they have pointed cut no path for the people below to climb back to places of security and of safety in our American life. Throughout the Nation, men and women, forgotten in the political philoscphy of the Government of the last years, look to us here for guid- ance and for more equitable oppor- tunity to share in the distribution of national wealth. ° » On the farms, in the large metro- politan areas and in the smaller cities and in the villages millions of our citizens cherish the hope that their old standards of living and of thought have not gone forever. Those millions cannot and shall not hope in vain. I pledge you—I pledge myself— to a new deal for the American peo- ple. Let us all here assembled con- stitute ourselves prophets of & new order of competence and of courage. This is more than a political cam- paign: it is a call to arms. Give me your help, not to win votes alone, but to win in this crusade to restore America to its own people.

CHICAGO, July 2.—The following is the text of the address of Senator Thomas J. Walsh notifying Gov Franklin D. Roosevelt of his nomi- nation for the presidency by the Democratic party. Gov. Rocsevelt, it becomes my pleasing duty, as the chairman of this Democratic National Convention and of its committee specially desig- nated for that purpose, formally 1o notify yau of your nomination by it for the office of the President of the United States, arrived at on yester- day by a vote of 945 out of a total of 1,135 votes. The action thus taken was but the confirmation of the choice regis- tered from time to time in the eles tion of delegates and in the expres- sion of State conventions in all quar- ters of our commcn country—not- withstanding the spirtted rivalry of aspirants who met the highest stand- ards of statesmanship. Declared Reward of Devotion. This hour comes to you, if I may be permitted to say so, as the Te- ward of an untlemished life, a spot- less reputation, a h’gh devotion to the public weal and a capacity for public service exhibited in exalted official positions in the most trying times and under the most exacting circumstances. The success with which you have during the past three years and more administered the affairs of the imperial State of New York as its Governor has led to the well grounced hope that, em- bracing ardently the principles of our historic party, you may pursue the course and find a way as the Chief Magistrate of the United States through which its mighty energies may again be unloosed and applied at unslackened pace. One contemplates in awe the situ- ation that confronts us—too harrow- ing in its detail, too notorious to require recital—to dwell on here. An eminent American journalist returning from Europe some months ago said that while in America the question is asked “When will the depression end?”, in Europe the question is asked “Can capitalism survive?”, meaning the prevailing economic system. If it can or does it will be only by its more complete democratization. If it totters now it is because of the abuses which have been developed in it and which the Republican party has done so much in this country to tolerate, condone and even promote. Asks Only for Justice. The Democratic party has never professed to be an insurer of pr Tt modestly assigns to the of heaven our free institu- tions and the virility of our pzople the material blessings we have hitherto enjoyed—the just dis- tribution of which our Govern- men may mar or protect, but the substance of which it cannot be- stow. It need not be expected of you accordingly or of any adminis- tration of which you shall be the head to shower blessings on & smil- ing land. All that may be looked for is that you and they will intelli- gently and courageously see that the restorative processes of enterprise, industry, frugality and thrift shall have free play and that monopoly and other forms of covert robbery are not unfolested. Forecasts Vietory. T venture to pledge you on behalf of this great convention and the constituencies represented by the delegates comprising it their loyal, cordial and enthusiastic support in the coming election in which even our political adversarles admit we cannot fail except We blunder. Confident that they get no com- fort out of your nomination, we greet you now as our leader for the restoration of wise government on the lines the founder of our party conceived it expressed as to present- day problems in the platform adopted by this convention, which not having been carried on the air when it was presented to the con- vention, will now be read by Honor- able Mitchell Palmer, who had a conspicuous part in its preparation, J.

TEXAS IS PROUD OF UNCLE JOHN Almost Entirely by Second Place. By the Associated Press AUSTIN, Tex., July 2—John Gar- ner’s native State, “swelled with pride” tonight. Disappointment of the Texas stay- at-home Democrats at failure of the Democratic Convention to nominate Speaker Garner for the presidency was almost wholly essuaged by his selection to fill second place on the ticket headed by Franklin D. Roosevelt. His townspeople at Uvalde forgot troubles brought to their doorstep by & torrential rain which sent flood waters from nearby streams into streets and stuck close to the radios while “Chapar- ral Jack” Garner was being nominated. Imperturbable as Father. Tully Garner, the Speaker's son, went across the street from the bank of which he is president and listened | to convention proceedings over a radio | | | | liked to play base ball, in the garage owned by his father’s %ldx-dflme fishing partner, Ross Brum- eld. Neither Brumfield nor the younger Garner would say much. A friend approached Banker Garner and said: “Well, I reckon you're mighty proud of your pa, aren't you? And Banker Garner, no less laconic and imperturbable than his famous father, said, simply: “Yes.” No formal demonstration was held, partly because of the floods and partly because “Uncle John's” friends prefer- red to wait until he comes back from Washington at the end of the congres- sional session to plant his garden. Mother Hears News. In the village of Detroit, in Red River County, near the Oklahoma State line, a feeble 80-year-old mother, Mrs. Sarah Jane Garner, heard of the nomination of her son, who left the family hearth- stone 40 years 8go to seek a more healthful climate in Southwest Texas. “John was like most other boys: he was quite a tease, and 1 guess he liked to fight, too,” the mother said. Politicians expressed the belief that those who left the party in 1928 over | prohibition would stay with the Garne bolstered ticket in spite of the party's pledge for repeal of the eighteent} amendment and immediate modification of the Volstead act.

Strange- |y enough, the only recent occasion which comes to mind when there was a tie vote on an imporiant matter, the Vice President (then Charles Gates Dawes) was absent, and President Coolidge’s nomination of Charles Beecher Warren as Atiorney General failed of confirmation while Gen. | Dawes, hastily summoned, was speed- | ing to the Capitol in a taxizab.

But zlthough Mrs. Garner is ready to dc her part, her heart will always be in the office where she has shared the duties of her husband for 30 years. Fond of Granddaughter, Outside of her work as her husband's secretary, Mrs. Garner's interests center largely in her granddaughter. It comes with something of a shock that this young-appearing lady should have s granddaughter at all, but Genevieve is 10 years old, the daughter of Mrs. Gar- ner's 37-year-old son. Genevieve lives in a home with six acres of ground in the heart of Uvalde, and Mrs. Garner is happlest when she can spend a Sum- mer vacation there. Grandmother though she is, Mrs. Garner's head of brown hair is un- touched with a streak of gray. Her at- tractive presence, her keen blue eyes, her sharp mind and her enormous ac- quaintance with those of importance in the political whirl give assurance that the new duties, if they descend upon her, will be executed with all the smeothness and success which have at- tended a life of the more prosaic and cloistered task of helping her husband make a career by working with him in his office.
