ROBINSON'S SPEECH OF ACEEPTANCE "Voters are interested, not alone in the problems and Issues with which the campaign is expected to deal, but also in the personal characteristics o' the candidate." "Numerous political serpents are hissing In the dark and striking from cover, and with venomous malice seek to poison the thoughts and arouse the prejudice of those who will de. clde issues of far reaching Import. ance." "Strand public policy encourages full, frank and fearless discussion of issues and records. It dlscountenan- j ces misrepresentation, perversion and j falsehood." | "The spokesman of a party proves. himself: unworthv If he knowingly ac.; ctpts advantages froin falsehood, even though not uttered or inspired by himself." "The plan announced by Mr. Hoov er for "the alleged relief of agricul ture, contemplated the contraction of the farm industry so that production In excess of the home demand would be eliminated, and the export field left entirely to the industrial export "The Republican party Is either In capable of successfully dealing with the (farm) question or has deliberate ly violated Its express promises to the farmers of the nation." "Mr. Hoover, as the Presidents trusted adviser, Is perhaps more di. rectly responsible for the failure ot farm relief legislation during the eight years referred to than any other single political leader." "Will the farmers of the United States, who have waited eight years for Mr. Htjbver and his associates to terve them, accept the tariff as a re medy for depression In farm products ' whose domestic prices are controlled I in markets not shielded by the tarlfl : wall?" ' , I "If the farmers of the Unitec ' States must wait until transportatior ? rates are sufficiently reduced bj ' means of waterways teg bring then 1 prosperity, they may as well give u[ t the fight and accept the humilatiot ' and ruin which has threatened then - throughout the last eight years.' " "If It (cooperative marketing) is t< 1 be regarded as of controlling valui ? In the solution dt the farm problem " i 1U 1UC owuiwu vs - 1. why have the administrations in whicl f i Mr. Hoover has served as a Cablne 5 Member failed to apply this remed; ! with promptness?" t "We repudiate Mr. Hoover's pro ' pcsal to limit farm products tot th? * domestic demand, as calculated to be - little, rather than to encourage thi 1 great industry of agriculture." 5 "The Democratic party recognize - the right of farmers to lead in thi ? divcelopment cjL farm policies." "The Democratic party recognize! k that adequate credit facilities and be ter administration ot the Farm Loai r system (must) be assured in the In ) terest of the farmers." t "The necessity Is recognized by thi - Democratic party for an organize! 1 agriculture through which the farmei ' ,may work out and apply his own re I medles, as well as receive governmen ? aid, through a Federal Farm Board.' ? "If a more equitable and effective ' plan than that comprised by the equa ' lzatlon fee Is discovered. It should be adopted." > "The (Democratic) convention re ? cognized that the Democratic parti ? is neither a prohibition nor an antl. 1 rohibitlon organization, but If en' ' trusted with power its duty would b? to enforce all laws." ! "Toi one who for twenty-five yeart ? has uniformly supported measures fot prohibition, it has been disappointing ' tc note the methods and agencies em ? ployed by the Republican party in the i enforcement of national prohibition / lawi?M 'The (prohibition) question should : rot be treated as merely political, but rather as mo^al and economic." "President Wilson vetoed the Vol. stead act. The Integrity of his pur pose was not questioned; his good 1 faith was generally conceded." "Governor Smith's position Is an un qualified acceptance ot the obligation to enforce the (prohibition) law to the best of his ability." ? "Throughout the last two admlnls. nations the Prohibition Bureau has been under the Treasury Department, whfige head, prior to national prohibi tion was largely Interested In the liquor business." "It Is In one BenBO an attempt at nullification to suggest changes In the Constitution or the law." "Honesty In public affairs Is ot transcendent Importance. Corruption 1* the red signal <* decadmce." "The safety of our political Insti tutions depends on fair elections snd honest government" 'Many Republicans condemn the in difference of their leaders to the ig nominious record-a record which never cduld have been made If the watchmen on the towers had not fall en asleep."
