TEXT OF SPEECH MADE BY FREDERICK VAN NUYS TO DEMOCRATS YESTERDAY Following is the text of the speech delivered before the Democratic state convention in Indianapolis, yesterday by F. VanNuys, which struck the keynote of the democratic campaign: By Fred G. Johnson I nltcd I’rew Staff Correeponda-nt Indianapolis, June 2. — (Special to Daily Democrat) —Charging republi cans with extravagance and misman agement iu state and national goverernments, and with questionable ' handling of state funds, Fredern k Van

Muys struck the keynote of the democratic campaign In Indiana today. VanNuys challenged the G. O. P. in behalf of "a united, confident and deermlned" democracy while addressing the democratic state convention in the capacity of temporary chairman. “The democratic party today once more renews its allegiance to the faitli of the fathers," he said. "Upon the rugfed principles of frugality, simplicity Hid honesty, we budded a nation rich ind by the return to those same simple virtues to propose to build the nation strong. "In this spirit, proud of our past ind confident of our future, the democratic party of Indiana today incokes your aid." VanNuys laid the blame for business lepresslon upon republican rejection if the Versailles treaty and refusal to 'cooperate in the subsequent economic (inferences, Van Nuys said, and busiless stagnation would never have visited the United States if European markets were opened. In this connection he criticised Sen itors New and Watson for their vote tgainst tlie league of nations coven mt. Opening his address, Van Nuys re erred to the recent republican state convention as follows: "In the past we had believed that he democratic party had been the ieir to all possible party disaffections ind conflicting personal ambitions but in light of recent developments in he republican party we now look with ■omplacency and composure upon our >etty differences of the past and like i chosen people exclaim: 'Behold how ;ood and pleasant it is for brethern o dwell together in unity.’ "One week ago there finally was corailed on this same platform at the epublican state convention more diferent kinds and varieties of Indiana ■epublicans than were ever before as embled under one roof. It was originally intended to confine the speakng program to one day but the varieies were so numerous and the stage vas so small that it was finally decid'd to extend it over a second day. "There was also a big element of ;afety involved in the decision. To mt Watson and Beveridge, and Jew■tt and Shank under one roof, on the ame platform, on one day was asking oo much of any program committee >r any police force, even that presided iver by the shrewd and experienced ■ye of Herman Rikhoff. “The contest of facts, figures and ihysical endurance lasted two days ind in all fairness to Lawrence Lyons ■ve want to say that it was a contest worth while. Watson won in physical endurance; Beveridge, true to orni, glittered in generalities; Mc'ray as usual floundered in figures; fewett pommeled and Shank himself vho wouldn’t know a statue book from a Sears-Roebuck catalog, discoursed learnedly on pending legislation. "It was a great contest. The very tudaciousnes of the affair was reresiling and it will go down in history is a great success, physically, histori•ally and scientifically for the reason ■hat on one was hurt.” The keynote speaker reviewed at ength the records of democratic gov■rnors in Indiana and dwelt upon state natters rather than national. He dedared the democrats have been called into power each time to repudiate the broken pledges of its opponents and to correct the abuses of their administration. “Samuel M. Ralston made one of the best governors Indiana ever had,” he mid. He characterized Ralston, the party candidate for senator as a man with "a rugged honesty of purpose,” and went on to the end of the Ralston administration with: "A finer record of economy, good judgment and common sense has never been written.” Turning to nation! issues for a moment, VanNuys asserted the republican administration and Its refusal to recognize Europe economically was the underlying cause of widespread unemployment and stagnation. “We may as well face conditions frankly,” he said. "We are suffering today from a severe depression and contraction in business. Factories are producing only a modisum of their capacity. Merchants are pursuing a policy of retrenchment. Farmers are losing money. The whole commercial world is restless and unsettled." President Harding grabbed Woodrow Wilson's idea, rejected by the republicans, and put into force, VanNuys said when he summoned the conference on disarmament. The speaker praised the move, but regretted it had not been permitted earlier during the administration of President Wilson. "We are going to rehabilitate America just like America won the war—by cold, keen, business-like methods, by fixing objectives and working to them with mathematical precision,” he said ‘This will take leadership, vision and courage—something the present administration does not possess and will

never possess ai long as it makes the white house the playground of petty partisan politics." S—WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s ..Gas Range Week.
