LABOR BARGAINING UPHELD BY G. 0. P. Aid for Farmer Without “Regimentation” Also Favored at Rally. _ (Continued From Pist Page) fn mind Russia, Itsly or Germany? Does the President not know that our form of government was set-up to prevent the national Government's ever exercising that dominant power? This Nation has become great be- cause of the difference in its struc-| ture of government, not because of | its similarity to European govern- ments. This administration has been | feeding poison into our system of in- dividual liberty. The Supreme Court has administeNd an effective anti- dote. Specific Proposals Asked. “We should challenge the President to submit to the people of this coun- try the specific constitutional amen ments that he and his followers seek. Saying that the President had charged the Supreme Court by its N. R. A. decision had taken us back to the “horse and buggy days,” Sim- mons continued that what the Presi- dent proposed, was that he be per- mitted to take the American peuple back to the dark days when the ruler | was the unrestrained mester. \ “As between the two, we should | choose cur own horse and buggy as we have in the past,” said the Ne- braskan. “No nation on earth has made as great progress as America under this Constitution. It is not necessary, however, to go back to the *horse and buggy days’ as he meant it. Full authority to meet any situation now exists under the co-ordinate powers of the Federal Government | and the States. “The President asked, ‘are we go- ing to take from the United States Government its supervision as to na- T THE | Copyright, A. P. Wirephoto. tract that Washington might choose to write. He promised a program that would bring about a parity between the price of the things the farmer buys |and those which he sells. But, unfor- tunately, such increases in crop pri as were brought about by his restric- .ve measures, abetted by the drought, were nullified by the increase in the tional crops, and go back to the days when the farmer was lord on his own | farm and grew what he liked, renrd- | Jess of crop conditions elsewhere?’ Iy would that we could burn that ques- | tion with all its revolutionary im- plications into the mind and soul of | every {nrmer, yea, every citizen of | America.” Hoover Opposition Arises. Antagonism to the renomination of | former President Hoover cropped up at & meeting of the Resolutions Com- mittee yesterday. H. Wallace Cald- well, Cook County commissioner and former president of the Chicago Board of Education, appeared with a reso- lution which attacked both the former President’s administration and Presi- dent Roosevelt. Mr. Caldwell said that Mr. Hoover should announce now that he will not be a candidate for the nomina- tion. He insisted that as long as Mr. Hoover was considered a possible can- didate, there was uncertainty. Like | a sword of Damocles, he said, the threat hung over the party. In his resolution Mr. Caldwell de- clared: “The American people are facing a great national crisis as the result of the reckless extravagance, waste and utter disregard of social | and economic laws under the Roose- velt administration. “Under Herbert Hoover and his as- | sociates, the American people nlam failed to receive the type of leader- ship that the conditions demanded. The Republican party should follow the common sense theories of Abraham Lineoln, which thought is at variance with the wild, unsound, ruinous theo- ries of Roosevelt and the ineffective policy of Herbert Hoover.” John Hamilton Speaks. At a colorful session of the con- ference last night, the Midwest Re- publicans listened to speeches by John D. M. Hamilton, permanent chairman and national committeeman from Bpelking for the Republicans h'om Kansas, the great wheat State of the Union, as well as for the Republicans generally, Hamilton laid stress on the sgricultural problem. He said: “The farmer’s position is no bet- ter than that of those engaged in business, and in no single instance has the insincerity of the promises and pledges made in the Democratic presi- dential campaign been more apparent than in its farm program. At Topeka on September 14, 1932, President Roosevelt ridiculed the idea of ecrop re- striction and sald specifically that no plan based upon scarcity could hope to succeed. “His promise was kept by the waste- ful slaughter of millions of pigs and the spectacle of hundreds ‘of thou- sands of barren acres. “He assured the farmers of the Middle West that the responsibility for the operation of any plan would lie with local authorities and that he would decrease bureaucratic control, but instead he set up one bureau after another in Washington, with thou- sands of agents to plague and torment the farmers. “He said it was to be voluntary, but the financial distress of the average farmer forced him to accept any con- ———— SPECIAL No’ncu.

It was her articles attacking the A. A. A. in th® Saturday Evening Post that| brought her into the limelight. Mrs. Simmons told the conference what she and her family had come from “generations of Southern Demo- crats.” “We are in a position both peculiar and pathetic,” she said. “We must believe that either this administration is not democratic or we have been mistaken all our lives. “Either way, we have no party. As| a kinsman of mine recently said: ‘I | didn’t leave the Democratic party, it left me.’” Unilateral Contract Opposed. Mrs. Simmons said that clause 9 of | the corn-hog contract of 1934 put out by the A. A. A. demanded that the signor agree to comply with such rul- had heretofore made and that he | made thereafter. She said she never found a farmer who realized what this clause meant, “My husband,” she said, “said he would not sign any contract that bound him and did not as much bind the other party to it, and that it was | just ancther tax scheme, which we all knew it was, and is, but is far worse than an we have ever known, because it collects the farmers’ liberty along with processing taxes, The de- sire to rule us, to dominate American farmers, runs rampant and vicious through all these triple A scliemes.” Mrs. Simmons said she resented be- ing called “a high and mighty liar” by President Roosevelt in his speech to the farmers who “marched” on Washington recently. The révent wheat program referendum conducted by the A. A. A, described by Secretary Wal- lace as a “mandate” to continue the program, showed, she said, that only 15 per cent of all the wheat growers in the country had participated. Her answer to Democratic questions as to what she would do if she did not like the New Deal program -was: “Lower taxes, lower interest rates, and to be let alene, to do the best we can.” New Deal Indicted. The conference last night adopted an indictment of President Roosevelt and the New Deal. This was the first report of its Resolutions Committee, submitted by the chairmian, E. A. Hayes of Illinois, former nationai com- mander of the American Legion. The 18 points in “declaration of grievances” adopted by the Republican “Grass Roots” Convention last night in skeleton form follow: 1. Vldnuon:x( pledge to reduce cost governmen 2. Increase of 120,000 in Federal pay rell, rather than reduction. of dget. 4. Failure to keep Government out of business. 5. Fallure to maintain sound cur- rency. 6. Congress reduced to s group of time servers. 7. Disregard of States’ rights. 8. Subjection of people to arbitrary dictates. 9. Congress forced to appropriate $4,000,000,000 to be used by the Presi- dent for “secret purposes.” 10. Secret control of $2,000,000,000 12 Mfllluu spent on acreage re- :‘nruon more millions on reclama- lon.. 13. Surrender of home marksts to foreign nations. 14.

The State con- tends the alleged murder plot was hatched there. ‘When the defense opened its case the evidence of Tony Passero, Wash- ington woodyard loreman, was read to the court by Boland's attorney.

Warren Barbour of New Jersey, “being a business man, is a very likely candidate” for the Republican nom- ination for President next year. He suggested Barbour as a possible candidate because of the ilkelihood the party will adopt a strictly busi- ness platform and because Barbour “is not likely to be called a political hack.” If the issue turns toward in- ternational affairs, he said, former Ambassador Walter E, Edge is a pos- sibility.
