Brookhart was well into his sixth senatorial primary campaign 'P'ri- day, following an address here Thursday night in which he attacked the administration's "experimental economics," He recalled his speech here 12 years ago in which he pointed with alarm to the economic and political outlook of the country, and declared 'it the unvarnished truth." Declaring that the speech "cost me my senate seat," Brookhart said a prominent Iowa political leader told him a few days ago "you were just 10 years ahead of the time. We caught up with the speech two years, ago." "Since my critics have caught up for 10 years," Brookhart said, "my job is relatively easy today and I need only bring it to date over a two year period." Advocating a system of "co-operative economics," Brookhart termed President Roosevelt's recent Baltimore speech on unemployment "experimental economics," and asked "why should we follow these radical, uncertain and vacillating systems?"
