SHAVER ATTACKS •COOLIDGE STAND ON GOVERNMENT Democratic Leader Brands SpeecfT as Complacency in Face of Corruption, By United P-cs~ CHICAGO. Aug. *s.—Branding acceptance speech of President Coolidge as “complacency in the face of corruption’’ in the Republican Administration, Clem L. Shaver, chairman of the Democratic national committee. today issued a statement calling the public to get behind the “Democratic issue of honesty in government.” He charged Coolidge has attempted to conceal Republican “dishonesty” behind the budget system. “It impossibie that Mr. Coolidge should think his budget argument an answer to a corruption that has shaken the faith of the people in their Government,” Shaver said, "or that he thinks them so forgetful that they will not recall the fact which members of his own party have called the tragic looting of the Veterans Bureau.” No better justification of the Democratic issue of “honesty in Pjvernment” is needed than Mr •olidge’s speech. Pointing to the conduct of the Veterans’ Bureau, Shaver ridiculed the President's praise of the Administration's treatment of disabled soldiers. ECONOMY G. O. P. ISSUE President Stresses Need of "Common Sense” Government. By United Pnxx WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.—With a clear-cut statement of his views in the hands of the people, President Coolidge today surrendered direction of his campaign to his managers and prepared to take a brief rest at his boyhood Vermont home. The President, accompanied by Mrs. Coolidge, their son John and a small staff of secretaries, will leave tonight for Plymouth, Vt., where the President intends to enjoy the openair life on his father’s farm. The notification ceremony in Memorial Continental Hall Thursday night turned into a cheering rally for Coolidge when Secretary of State Hughes stepped up and called for “three cheers for Coolidge.” The greatest demonstration however, came when the President gave this keynote: “It is well for the country- to have liberality in thought and progress in action, but it’s greatest asset is common sense.” Rigid Economy * He selected from among them for primary emphasis still more rigid Bconomy in government and further tax reduction along the lines of the Mellon plah. The President squarely joined issue with John W. Davis on “honesty in government” and with La Follette on anew economic order. “There are those who disregard all this (Republican achievements) to convince themselves and others that the chief issue of this campaign is honest government.” he said. “The government is sound. The people of the country- hate corruption. They know my position. They know the law will be enforced.” Against Monopoly Striking at the La Follette charges that the Republican party favors privileges and monopoly, the President said: “We oppose the artificial supports of privilege and monopoly because they are both unjust and uneconomic. They are not right. They do not work.” He listed among the achievements •f the Republican party resumption 9t diplomatic relations with all nations except Russia, the budget system, reduction of the public debt

and partial funding Os the foreign debt, restricted immigration, protective tariff and the Washington conference. He expressed hope fullness of the Dawes plan would solve Europe's difficulties and again announced his intention of sponsoring another disarmament conference when the plan appears to he in operation. He proposed adherence to the world court, but reaffirmed his intention to stay out of the League of Nations. Agriculture, he said, has seen “a partial relief come in a natural way." He declared the s path to greater prosperity lay through “more or ganization, cooperation, diversification” a “wise, skilled and unselfish leadership.” and continued protection by- tariff. Relief for Agriculture The President announced his intention of appointing a committee to investigate and report measures to Congress in December to put agriculture on a basis of economic quality with other industries, in accordance with the Republican platform*. He reaffirmed his intention to press Congress for more tax re duction, particularly in high surtaxes, arguing such a course was the surest “guarante of prosperity.” After a declaration that economy would be enforced in the conduct of his campaign, he devoted a few words to lesser issues; the Supreme Court's powers should not be tampered with: women are to be welcomed In politics as anew force; Government operation is to he avoided; Negroes must be protected in their constitutional rights; prohibition will be enforced as best I can; child labor should be abolished: the Army and Navy should be efficiently maintained. A possible reference to the KuKlux Klan was contained in the sentences “this is one country: we are one people, united by common interests. There should be no favorites and no outcasts: no race or religious prejudices in Government.” Patriotic Meeting A patriotic meeting will be given in Rrookside Park Theater by Cen tral W. C. T. U.
