Both Of Party Nominees Are Facing Charges Of Insincerity Much Fault Being Found With Promises And Ac- tivifies Pertaining To National Campaign By PRESTON GROVER > (By Associated Prexs) WASHINGTON, July Many delegates thought Senators Barkley and Robi convention identical 11.— on in their addresses adopted methods of defense again: Republican charges that the Democrats failed to live up to their 1932 platform. The method of defense in both tances, ‘alk at Philadelphia in- dicated, was to launch a counter- attack. Barkley quoted a Re- publican platform charge tha: the New Deal “has dishonored our country by repudiating its most Without dertying hat statement at once, he said: “On that platform solemn obligations.” they (the Republicans) nominated a candi- date who, three* years ago, urged the paymen: of public and private debts in money of the printing press redeemable in neither silver or gold. “In 1920, 1924, 1928 and 1932 the ho'low and hackneyed promise | was made by Republican platforms and candidates to restore agri- tultttre to ctonofnic equality with industry. The promise was never fulfilled nor intended for fulfill- ment.” Robinson Joins Chorus Said Robinson: The Democrats “faithfully complied with the spirit” of the 1932 platform. But if there has been a “partial fail- ure” in respect to economy ani! balancing the budget, that failure, he said, was due to changing con- ditions and necessities and— “To the guerrilla warfare of the Republican army.” | Robinson went even one better, He dug out of the Republican! platform this statement: ’ “The acceptance of the nomi- nation tendered by this conven-! tion carries with it as a matter of private honor and public faith an undertaking by every candi-| date to be true to the principles} and program herein set forth.” *You’re Another’ The average listener may have interpreted that another side swipe by Repub ns at Roose- velt for the quality of his form performance. But not Robinson. Again he was using the method of counter-attack, That statement, he said, was meant asa sort of oath imposed upanGovernor Landon by Repub- lican platform makers who sus- plat-) morrow is expected to be varied’ |COMMUNITY FUND |MEXICO’S ROAD BUILDERS CONQUER CAMPAIGNS NOW | HEIGHTS IN OPERATIONS 10 LINK WELL UNDER WAY, CAPITAL CITY TO TEXAS BORDER COMMITTEE HANDLING AF-!
