In what possible view can Governor Smith be pre- ferred to Mr. Hoover to deal with an economic problem of this com- plexity? The experiences of Gover- nor Smith's life, his aptitudes, his associations, have been remote from general and agricultural problems in particular. “It is clear that we need leader.

He thinks of our economic problems in terms of help or harm to thess homes. Thus all his plans, which are direc- ted to m al gains, have & spirit- ual meaning, and one cannot under- stand Herbert Hoover without ap- ng the fact that above all administration.” The paramount comsideration fin domestic affairs, he sald, is the prosperity of the oountry. ‘“The chief effort of our opponents is to make it clear that they intend no harm, For unless they can allay the anxiety which has been bred by their past utteranoes and perform- ances, their promises to be good will George Norris of Nebraska.

There is nothing within the limits of any possible valid definition which would satisfy the demands of the wets. That is the actual situation and no amount of talk will change “The question is between Smith and Hoover, and I decidedly prefer Hoover.' The voters, he declared, were call- ed on to determine what were the policies that would make for the prosperity and the security of the country. “We need economy in administra- tion. We have had it in an extraor- dinary degree. No derision or blustering misstatements can alter that fact. We cannot afford to com- mit the policy of protection to a party that has always opposed it.
