SALIENT POINTS IN SPEECH OF ACCEPTANCE.

"I pledge fidelity to our country ’ and t<yGod and accept the nomi- ’ nation of the Republican party for * the presidency of the United ' States.” “The human element cornea ' first, and I want the employers In ' industry to understand the aspira- ' tions, the convictions, the yearn- ’ nings of millions of American ' wage earners.” ' “The Constitution contemplates ' no class and recognises no group. ' It broadly Includes all the people, ' wjth specific recognition for none.” ' “We approve collective bargain- ' Ing.” “Gross expansion of currency yid credits has depreciated the dollar. 1 We will attempt intelligent and 1 courageous deflation.” “When competition—n atur al, fair, impelling competition—is suppressed, whether by law, compact or conspiracy, we halt the march of progress, silence the voice of aspiration and paralyze the will for achievement.” “I promise you formal and effective peace so quickly gs a Republican congress can pass its declaration for a Republican executive to 'sign.” “I can hear the call of conscience an insistent voice for largely reduced armaments throughout the world.” “Our vision includes more than a chief executive. We believe in a cabinet of highest capacity equal to the responsibilities which our system contemplates, in whose councllsthe vice president, second ofWH of the republic, shall be askeJ to participate.”- ,
