DEMOCRATIC PAPER RA. S ADAIRS SPEECH

Says Democratic Candidata Makes Mistake In Not Having Specific Program-Praises Goodrich Speech. (From Indiana Forum, -Democratic) Mr. Adair, in our opinion, makes the mistake of seeking office on Ralston’s record without offering a specific program of his own for future policies. This fault can not be charged to Goodrich. He has given a very definite outline of some of the things he wishes to do. He not only declares for tax reform, but "he Intimates the kind of reform he will seek and how he will seek it. He says definitely that he will favor a budget system; he not only declares for retrenchment in expenses arising out of unwise employment of men in various departments of government, but he indicates the locality to which he proposes to apply the axe and in these his address cannot help but make a strong impresslon on the thoughtful citizen. Adair’s keynote address is disappointing insofar as it fails to give the public a definite statement of what he proposes to do once in office.
