SMITH HEAI]S mn withdrawal of my name from this |port to my opponent in this elec- VOTE OF FARMERS (Continued from First Page) upon the principle of the control of the exportable surplus. You cer- tainly do not think he is going to sign a bill, whether it is passed at @ apecial session or ‘a regular ses- sion, based upon - that principle which he cails state socialism.” In delivering his farm appeal Governor Smith read from text for the first time since his acceptance #peech. It took less than 15 min- utes to broadcast the address which, it delivered extemporaneously, would have consumed half an hour or more. The nominee faced only a few hundred people as he made the next to the last speech of his campaign in a studio at Carnegie Hall. In a statement before going on the alr Governor Smith said that elec- tion day this year would see “the largest vote in the history of the DUnited States,” and he added his be- lief that radio was vitally responsi- ble. The radio, he said, had taken politics into every American home and had changed “the typical politi- cal speech from a collection of high sounding phrases and choice bits of bunk to a clear logical argument.” The governor also thought radio was destined to play an important part in bringing about harmonious relations with foreign nations. “Recently T noticed in the new papers,” he sajd, “that plans are being made to exchange radio pro- grams between the United States and Fngland. France and Germany. When we, as a nation, listen to a concert played in France and when France listens to one of our famous radio orchéstras, the honds of inter- national friendship cannot but be made stronger. Music does not make for hatred or distrust and T believe that the encouragement of this ex- change pf music between nations is & long step toward world peace.” Governor's Speech Following is the full text of Gov- ernor Smith's radio talk te the farmers of the country this noon. “T welcome this opportunity in closing the campaign to speak brief- ly to the men and women in the great farming sections of the coun- try. “Both parties are agreed that the farmer and the stock raiser have not shared in the country's prosperity and are in dire distress today. Both parties have agreed that the solution of the agricultural problem is one of the most important duties and re- sponsibilities of the next administra- fion. But Mr. Hoover and I have been in sharp disagreement as to the way in which the farmer's problem &hould he solved and as to the party which should be entrusted with its eolution. Depends On Democrats “I believe that I can fairly say to the farmers of this country and their families that this campaign has shown that the salvation of agricul- ture in this country today depends upon democratic success, and T am going to summarize my reasons for this belief. “First, I want you to judge the future by the past. “The republicans have been {n power for seven and a half years. As Mr. Hoover said last situation of agriculture. I know you will agree with me that they did nothing effective about it; that the promises made in 1320 and in 1924 have never been kept, and that the agricultural situation is worse today than when the republicans came into office in 1921. So when Mr. Hoover said last Friday night he would es- teem it an honor to have the priv lege of solving the agricultural prob- 1em, I can fairly say that he has had an opportunity to achieve that honor for the last four years as the agricultural adviser to the adminis- tration, but he took no advantage of it. “He referred to the farmers’ fail- ure to agree as to what they want. 1 need hardly remind you that there was sufficient agreement in this country to pass two relief measures by a vote of just two- thirds of the members of both hous- es of congress, only to have those measures vetoed by the president, under the candidate's advice, with no solution offered in place of them. Now, that is the record of the past.| Failed For 7 Years “There is no farmer and no farm- ers’ wife in this country today who does not know that they are mot helping themselves by continuing in power fhe party which for seven and & half years has had an opportunity to grapple with this problem and has done nothing whatever about it. “I next remind you what Mr. Hoover's reil views on this farm question were before he became a candidate. 2 “In 1924, as I pointed out in my Omaha speech, he definitely said that overproduction on the farm scan only be corrected by prices low enough to make production unprofit- able’ 1 asked then and T ask you now to reflect whether you want to | of the farm entrust the solution definitely problem to a man who said that his notion of farm relief| was to make prices low enough to drive more farmers and more farm- ers’ families from their homes. “The next reason why the desire for self preservation should lead the farmer and the farmer’s wife fo vote for me on next Tuesday is the utter hopelessness of anything that the re- publican party or Mr. Hoover has had to say in this campaign with respect to farm relief in contrast with the definite, specific program which I have offered. Stars With Platform “Let us begin with the republican | platform itself. Iam sure that there is no one listening to my voice who will not agree that Governor Lowden of 1llinois is one of the greatest au- thorities on the farm problem and one of the hest friends of the farmer in the country today. He has been a lifelong and loyal republican. When the republican platform was adopted at Kansas City, I remind you that Governor Lowden said of e ‘I have urged that it is the duty of the republican party to find some way to restore agriculture from the ruin that threatens it. That in my judgment the convention by the platform just adopted has failed to do, and I therefore authorize the Friday | right, they have been alive to the| "NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 1928, ———————————— conventiol Agrees With Lowden an you think of any reason why & farmer or a farmer's wife should vote for & candidate who stands upon a platform repudiated by a member o fthe party itself, who is a leader in the fight for agricul- tural relief? And I remind you of Benator Norris' brave and courage- ous stand for the principles of farm relief, which had led him as a leader in the battle in your behalf, to leave his own party and enlist himselt and his great talents in be- half of my election, because he re- gards the policles for which I stand as the surest guarantee of relief to ; you; and I ask you to recall all the state and local farm leaders who have studied this problem in your behalf, who agree with Governor Lowden and Senator Norris as to the utter hopelessness of any expecta- tion of relief from the republican party. “Let me spend fust a few minutes in reviewing what has been said about agricultural rellef during this chmpaign; and I will take first things we agree on. Inland Waterways “First, inland waterways: There i8 no disagreement on’that, but I think you will all agree with me that if the farm population of this country has to wait for relief until a system of inland waterways is de- veloped, there will be very little farm population to be relieved. Talks of Tarift “Second, tariff on import crops: We are 81l agreed on that. The democratic party has promised the farmer, and I have promised the farmer, full protective duties on all import crops on an absolute equal- ity with industry upon all agricul- tural products that are imported. “T do pause, however, to ask why, it higher duties are necessary, the republicans have not given them during the last seven and a half years. “No, 1 am for giving the farmer who raises the import crops full | tariff protection, but you know and l 1 know that that standing alone has | never solved the problem, will never | solve the problem, and that when | the republicans have argued about it they have simply been trying to get your minds away from the real principle of farm relief, about which 1 shall presently speak and upon | which they are directly opposed to me and directly opposed to your in- terest and your economic salvation. “Then Mr. Hoover talks about stabilization corporations. “One word ahout these stabiliza- tion corporations to which Mr. Hoover is willing to lend money. Our commodily prices are not made in America. 1In this very 8t. Louis speech Mr. Hoover says that they {are made abroad. You can no more centrol or stabilize them by a cor- poration that has not power to lift the surplus clear out of the demes- | tic market than you can fight a fist fight with a man 10 miles away. World conditions and not seasonal gluts control domestic price. For the past 10 years the seasonal high price of each year has occurred ex- actly as frequently at harvest time as in growing time. Who will share the profits and who will bear the losses? , Differs With Hoover “And now we come to the great | tundamental, underlying principle for farm relief wupon which Mr. Hoover and I differ absolutely. “I agree with Governor Lowden and Senator Norris that there can never be any satisfactory solution on the farm problem unless that that solution is based upon the principle of an effective control of the sale of the exportable surplus with the cost imposed upon the communily benefited. For that principle the democratic platform squarely stands, and for that principle T squarely stand and for that principle you and | your leaders apd those who ha been struggling'in your behalf for the last eight |ears stand and have always stood. | Knowing' The Principle "You know full well by this time what that principle means. You understand fully that as to the great cash crops of which we produce an exportable surplus, the tariff simply does not function because the expor- table surplus is offered for sale in this country before it finally finds its way into foreign market. It is the presence of this exportable surplns in the domestic market that has driven down your prices far below the cost of production, reduced by billions the value of your farms, driven millions of people from the farm to other occupations and brought about the dire distress in which agriculture finds itself today. “And what has Mr. Hoover had to say about this principle of farm relief for which I stand, for which my party stands, and which T am 8lad to admit I learned to approve from a study of the speeches and writings of Governor Lowden and Senator Norris and those other great leaders who had given their atten- | tion to this problem before it be- came my duty to study it? In his speech at Madison Square Garden in New York, Mr. Hoover branded this whole principle as state social- ism. You and I and your leaders and all who have been struggling in vour behalf—all of us together—are transferred to the socialist party be- cause we wish the government in your behalf to follow the same principle adopted in the federal re- serve system for the protection of money and credit. “Only if you think that you and your family are socialists because you believe fn this principle of the control of the exportable surplus, only if you are willing to entrust the rebuilding of farm prosperity to one who thus denounces the only prin- ciple upon which it can be based, |ing to sign a bill, whether |passed at a special | regular session, | cialism. | word. tion, Raps Extra Session “And at the last minute in his 8t. Louls speech Mr. Hoover talks about calling an extra session of congress. An extra sesslon for what? Under his advice, the presi- dent of the United States vetoed farm relief measures which were twice passed by a republican con- gress. He had nothing to offer in place of it. \“hat has Mr. Hoover got to offer in place of it today? If he is true to what he has always said, he would certainly veto any bill passed upon the principle of the control of the exportable surplus.| You certainly do not think he is go- it s session or & based upon that principle which he calls state so- It Mr. Hoover were presi- dent, what good then would it do you to have him call a special ses- sion? Ask yourselves this question. There is but one answer you can possibly give, and that answer re- quires you, if you are true to your own convictions, if you are loyal o your own interests and the interest of your family, to follow the lead of Senator Norris and vote the dem- ocratic ticket tomorrow. “The duty to vote the democratic ticket rests not only on your own self-interest but on your loyalty to your homes and your families. Res- toration of prosperity to the farm is not a mere material thing, it in- volves the continuance and the bet- terment of the home and the fam- ily life of the farm, a lightening of the burden upon the women in the agricultural community. The exten- sion of the comforts of a prosper- ous and happy family life to the children; in short, the continuance of the traditional, American country life, happy, prosperous, fruitful and the foundation of American pros- perity. Closing Words “And in closing let me give you this word of cheer and confidence. From every section of this country today T have had reports forecast- ing a great democratic victory. The industrial east joins with the agri- cultural west in its desire for a res- toration of democratic government. T believe that tomorrow will bring a great democratic victory and I assure you that that victory in turn will bring a solution of the agricul- tural problem that will restore pros- perity to the farm a-d promote the welfare of the entire countr: PILLSBURY SAYS HE'S NOT GUILTY (Continued from First Page) ment of $134, but our investigation | leads us to believe that the smount | will exceed that sum, although we | cannot tell the exact total until the audit has been completed.” By the Assoclated Prens.

After a | conference at his hotel late yester- iday with John J. Raskob, chairman [of the democratic national commit- |tee, the governor issued a 29 word statement in which he said: “I just had a two hour confer- ence with the chairman of the democratic national committee. The reports and advices in his posses- sion clearly indicate a democratic victory on Tuesday.” Works on Addresses After this meeting, the governor worked late on his two radio ad- dresses, but took time enough to {put in an appearance on a lower |floor of his hotel at a dinner given by Chairman Raskob to the 65 members of the cast which has been giving radio presentations of the play “Up from the City Streets.” Twenty newsboys from the News- boys' home in this city are members —_——— Iol the cast and they welcomed the nominee by singing “For He's a Jolly Good Fellow.” After posing for a photograph with the young- sters and telling them, *“Now, up and at 'em,” the governor made a short speech in which he thanked the players for the part they had played in his fight for the presi- denty. He said he had listened in on the play from Mr. Raskob’s home in Delaware and enjoyed it im- mensely, “Nothing Lost” “Nothing that is ever done in this world that is done right is lost,” he id, adding that he had spent the “best” six weeks of his life in “go. ing around this country and meet~ ing the countless hundreds of thou- sands of people who, by the very way that they greeted me, showed what T have referred (o as an af- fection, “And that is something for a man {to be able to store up in his mem- | ory about his ewn country,” he said.
