Ignorant "I have only In my heart charity for the small minority that found fault with me, he said, asserting that he could tell by their letters they knew little or nothing about the problems which confront the country. He then launched Into his attack on the administration for what he termed the repudiation of the party platform. It was sad for me when my party was taken over by a New said. He repeatedly drew laughs from the audience by referring to the present administration as the Roosevelt party, not the democratic party.

"Everybody knows that the platform was thrown out the window," he said, adding that even his two grandchildren knew It. He stated there was no plank In the platform more Important than the agricultural plank and no group Is more Interested in agriculture than the housewife. There Is a double Indictment handed down against the administration by the Supreme court, he declared, naming them as an Indictment for passing an unconstitutional law for the regulation of agriculture and air indictment for violating states rights. He described the agricultural adjustment act as "a colossal flop. After the AAA, he continued, "came the cotton control bill and the potato bill.

What happened? They were withdrawn by the administration because after what happened to the AAA, it was inevitable that they would be declared unconstitutional. Referring again to AAA, he said the president has criticized republican proposals In 1932 to plow up crops and kill a certain per cent of dairy cows, and when "he got In office thats Just the program he adopted except that he substituted pigs for cows." He then cited figures on Increasing Imports under the New Deal, declaring this was the direct result of "crackpot ideas. He quoted Abraham Lincoln as saying "if we buy steel rails from the foreigners we have the rails and they have the money but If we buy the rails here we have both the rails and the money." He cited prices of food to Illustrate how prices had increased In the last year. When he referred to pork chops as selling at 34 cents a pound, some one In the back of the auditorium shouted they were 45 cents. You must be counting In the local taxep, Smith replied.

The crowd laughed. Another Important plank In the 1932 platform, he said, was the one pledging abolition of useless government agencies. The audience cheered Smith frequently and there was no heckling or Interference. Fear Due to reports that there might be a demonstration agalnBt Smith, extraordinary precautions were taken by police. More than 500 police were on duty In the auditorium and In the immediate Vicinity.

John B. Kelly, democratic city chairman, took cognizance of the reports "by Issuing a statement to refrain from any form of demonstration or heckling. Let A1 say what he has to say without Interruption or disturbance, If Mr. Smith Is depending on democrats for an audience, he continued, I feel sure he could use the Little theater.

The new Kelvinator Gas Range is a great step toward modern kitchen equipment for it includes every modern convenience a housewife could ask fort Think of it!

But these are just a few of the many suss Forsyth, Oct. 8. JP Tom Larson, republican nominee for United States senate, condemned the New Deals administration of relief as a policy that creates Immeasurable waste and leaves this vitally Important phase of the public business in the hands of politicians, in an address here tonight In the Interest of his candidacy. Elimination of waste and extermination of the politicians from the administration of relief Is the demand of the republican party, not reduction of relief received by those who need It, declared the republican nominee. The democrats are representing today that If the republican party gains power, relief will be Immediately shut off, said Mr.

Larson. Not the Pact This Is not a fact. If the republicans are elected we will continue to take care of the needy. Those who have suffered from misfortune In this period of depression will be provided for. Society owes this to the unfortunate.

But we are going to eliminate the white-collared politicians who travel all over the state today, burning up gasoline and drawing a good salary at the taxpayers expense and who are nearly driving out the officials In every courthouse In the state In order to have room for themselves. Before the relief was handled from Washington, in the largest city in the state, the overhead costs were less than 2 per cent, while, under New Deal supervision, the overhead runs up to 28 per cent. This means that 28 per cent of the relief money goes to politicians of the state. Worthless Billions of dollars are being expended by the New Deal on projects which Mr. Larson declared to be not worth while.

He asserted that it would be a better policy to build feeder roads for agriculture reservoirs and irrigation canals and provide means of meeting the drouth, than to construct golf courses, tennis courts, landing fields, where planes do not land, or hiring men to teach young boys to play a musical Instrument. Let us build your Irrigation systems and reservoirs, let us have conservation, not conversation. Perhaps I am old-fashioned, he said, but as for me, I would rather listen to the music of water flowing through a headgate in an Irrigation ditch, than hear a young man trying to play a ukulele at the taxpayers expense. Butte Police here, were asked to try to locate Mrs. Alice Wood-worth, mother of Elmer Wood-worth, one of the victims of a mine accident- in Mullan, Idaho, Tuesday.

Police said the woman is not listed In any Butte directory and asked anyone who knqws her whereabouts to communicate with police headquarters. 3 IRS! ii nuiiwtt IEM.U Lumber Co. and 218 See this big Value Today!

Smith spoke at a meeting sponsored by a group of antl-New Deal democrats, who called themselves Oldllne Democrats of Pennsylvania." The meeting was held In the old Metropolitan opera house. The auditorium, which has about 4,500 seats, was filled and police estimated about 2,500 persons, who could not get In, listened to the speech over an amplifying system on the outside. The speech was broadcast nationally. Later It was the second of a series of four to be made by the 1928 democratic standard bearer.

He will speak October 22 In Chicago and October 31 In Albany, N. Y. Almost at the outset of his address, Smith launched Into his attack upon the Now Deal for "repudiating the platform. Continuing, his attack, he The people that voted this administration Into power on the assumption that they stood for a certain set of principles, found out afterwards that they had been entirely misled, and they put at the head of the government a group of men, bent upon a program that has angered millions of citizens throughout the United States, citizens of both political parties who trusted in the honesty of the platform and In the honesty of the men that were elected upon It. I will speak for mjielf.

If I thought that I was going to get the platform of Norman Thomas rather than the platform of the democratic party I will tell you what I would have done. I would have done something for Hoover that he didnt do for me. "I would vote for him. Platform He said the 1932 platform was the best platform ever adopted by either major party In the history of the country, "but never as far back as I can remember or as far back as I am able to read history did I ever see so complete a repudiation of a platform in letter, in spirit, In principles and in detail. But no man worthy of the name, he added, "ever does the directly opposite thing to that which he promises.

And yet, sad for me, sad indeed for me as a democrat, to have to say that is exactly what my party did when it was taken over by the New Deal. It Is not easy for me to find fault with the democratic party. I worked for It as no man in New York state before me for a third of a century labored for It. It is only under-the severest form of provocation that I have to talk against It. Not to Blame I am not responsible for the sins of commission and the sins of omission on the part of the leaders of my party when they betrayed the trust of the people in the repudiation, not only of tho party platform, negatively and affirmatively, but a betrayal of the fundamental principles upon which the party was constructed.

"After I leave one of these meetings and gq back to New York, do not make the mistake of thinking that I go to the republican headquarters. I have no use for It. I go among democrats. I meet all kinds. I meet the kind that admit, freely admit, yes the platform was tossed overboard, but what Is the use? We might as well go along with the party, anyway.

Well, If there Is anything In that theory, then we had better do away with the platforms. Ovation Smith was given a roaring ovation when he entered the auditorium. The 4,500 persons who jammed ever ylnch of space In the house came to their feet, cheering and shouting. A hand jstnick up The Sidewalks of New York, Smiths 1928 campaign song, adding to the din. The band also played "Three Long Years, to the tune of Three blind mice, and "Oh, Suzannah.

"The primary functions of government are the preservation of life and property and there is something going on 'In the state of Pennsylvania today that cannot have the approval of the people, Smith said. Smith He said the people of the country would be called upon November 3 to make one of the most Important decisions In the history of the country. Cheered Smith stood before the microphones for five minutes while the crowd cheered. Magistrate Charles AmodI Interrupted the cheering to have the crowd welcome Smith, who waved a greeting from a box. She wore a black dress and hat set off ba large orchid corsage.

Sunflowers and Ivory elephants were prominent In the audience. Women, seated on the stage, carried white pennants with the Inscription, Smjth Speaks for America. "I find one class of people who are dissatisfied with the government but say nothing about It, he said. "They probably will not vote for Mr. Roosevelt.

The other group are dissatisfied and say. so. OCTOBER EVENT TO CELEBRATE FAR REACHING CONTRIBUTION TO AMERICAN LIVING Formation of a Kelvin Home Celebration committee, composed of the Hon. Frank D. Fitzgerald, gov-' ernor of Michigan, the Hon.

(JP) Owner Phil K. Wrigley wasn't fooling when he told Manager Charlie Grimm to trade any or all of his Chicago Cubs In seeking punch and color for 1937. He proved It today by approving the trading of one of his greatest stars, Lonnie Warneke, stout-hearted top hand of the Cub hurling corps since 1932, to the St. Louis Cardinals for Jim (Ripper) Collins, slugging first baseman, and Leroy (Tarzan) Parmelee, strapping right hand pitcher. Charles (Boots) Weber, secro tary-bustness manager of the Cubs, said other deals were brewing, but mentioned only one negotiations with the New York Giants for Out-fielded Hank Leiber.

Reports also were current that Captain Woody Englsh, Grimms Infield "Insurance, and the veteran Gabby Hartnett, a great favorite of Cub fans, will be used for trading bait. Only dire need of a first baseman to replace young Phil Cavarretta could have Induced him to part with Warneke, Grimm told Wrigley In making the. deal. He said he offered the Cardinals, whose lack of pitching strength caused to fade during the stretch drive, every other hurler on the staff. The Cardinals, however, Insisted on Warneke, and Grimm, determined to get Collins, yielded.

Grimm said he hated like hell to part with Warneke, and lauded the lean Arkansan as a -great pitcher and a loyal, faithful player. He-said, however, that he believed Parmelee should, win 18 or 20 games for the Cubs. Both clubs were pleased with the deal. Warneke, who suffered an arm Injury in the fifth game the 1935 world series, started slowly last season, but reached his real form during the last. six weeks and finished with a record of 16 victories and 13 defeats.

Parmelee, obtained by the Card- I HERES a modern way to put a new roof or tide walla on your home.
