Delegates to fo Converilion May Use Rail, Boat Air or Bus Lines.
BY EDWARD J. LALLY United Press Staff Correspondent
The Dutch who got Manhattan Island from the Indians for $24 and a barrel of whisky struck no better bargain
than the land company which |
paid $1.74 for the four and a half acres that evolved into Cleveland's famous public
square. 2
The square, hub of all convention activities in the Ohio metropolis, again will attract visitors to its velvety lawns and imposing monuments when Republicans assemble here in June for their national convention. Delegates will sit in a big auditorium only two blocks away to nominate their party's candidate for President but if they follow the custom set by thousands of convention visitors here in recent years, they'll go with the crowds to the place where all roads lead. The picturesque square is in the heart of the business district. It has been called the “city within a city,” for there is the great Terminal tower group of buiidings. The tower itself, home of the union passenger terminal, rises 708 feet. Clustered around it are its companion buildings of white stone.
Today's Value $20,000,000 In 1795 the square was part of Western Reserve of the Ohio territory. There was nothing Yhere then except trees, vines and grass. The reserve was purchased by the
Connecticut Land Co. for $1,200,000. Through simple arithmetic it can be ascertained the cost of the land now embraced in the square was $1.74. Today the cost would be $20,000,000. But Cleveland offers considerably more than a beautiful public square to Republicans. First, delegates will find it easy ‘to reach Cleveland. The city is within an overnight’s ride of half the population of the United States and Canada. Entering the city from all major fravel centers are trunk railroad lines, air lines, lake steamers and motor busses.
Hotel Facilities Extensive Railroads lead into the under-
{ground station at Terminal tower.
Airships land at the 1000-acre mu-nicipally-owned airport, one of the largest in the country and eastern division headquarters of the trans-
continental day and night mail route. There are-12 hangars, and 3500 ships arrive and leave the field every month. The main bus terminal and the minor ones are within a step or two of Euclid-av, thei main street. Great Lakes steamers dock daily throughout the navigation season. Hotel facilities are almost unlimited. Most of the hotels are new —six of the largest ones have 4500 rooms, each with private bath. Onehundred thousand visitors were accommodated when the National Eucharistic Congress was held last September. Scores. of national conventions
-| were held through 1935. Not once
at-arms. He has inspected the hall several times and has requested the city administration to assign a large police protection to the area. Franklin Field, where President Roosevelt is expected to deliver his acceptance speech, is only a short distance from the hall. The stadium has a seating capacity of 80,000 and is known as the great sports ampitheater where the Army and Navy have played many of their football games.

City an Industrial Empire
The city is an industrial empire in itself. located in the community, the backbone of its development being the convenient lecation to the rich lake iron ore region and the coal and limestone field of Ohio and Pennsylvania. Nearly 150,000 wage earners are employed in its factories, at least two-thirds of the nation’s industries are represented and more than $1,000,000,000 worth of products are manufactured annually, It is a cultural center with three major universities, Western Reserve, Case and John Carroll; Museum of
the famous Severance Hall; and a $5,000,000 public library. There are many parks and summer resorts, all kind of recreation centers and a variety of sports topped by a major league baseball.
Garden Spot Downtown
Republicans may find their interest wandering from their candidates to the beautiful public build. ings and residences or to the Clev land Mall, the 17-acre downto garden spot that cost $40,000,000 to develop. And in the Mall is the Public Auditorjum where the convention will be held. Built 15 years ago at a cost of $15,000,000, it seats 12,560 persons comfortably and has been called the nation’s first convention plant. Construction of the ‘auditorium bégan in .pre-war days but was halted when the United States declared war on Germany: Work was resumed at close of the war “and the building was' completed and opened in 1922.
Scene of Biggest Conventions Late in 1924, the wings were added. The total cost for land, building and all equipment was more than $9,000,000, for which a bond issue was floated by the city. : Since 1924, it has been the scene of some of the country’s largest conventions and expositions. Nota-

NEW DEAL REIGN
G. 0. P. Nominee Warns of ‘Danger to American Ideals.’
-
Homer Elliott, Republican nominee for Twelfth District congressman, this afternoon said “the New Dealers’ conception. of government is reaction™of the west sort.” He addressed the Indiana Women’s Republican Club meeting in the Columbia Club. “If the country yields to the New Deal conceptiop it would mark the day when government of the peo-
ple and for the people had perished from the earth,” Mr. Elliott said.
Liberties of People
“Retention of the New Deal in government,” he said, “transcends every other political question. Talk all you please about extravagance and waste and high taxes. Public debts can be paid in the course of time. , . . But the liberties of the people, when once surrendered, can not be easily recaptured. When the government becomes the master instead of the servant of men, and power and the lust for power sit on the throne, only the blood of patriots can’ restore what is lost.” Mr. Elliott outlined what he termed were efforts of the New Deal to cirdumvent the Federal Constitution and how laws passed by the “present ‘Administration were declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court.
Would Change Court
“Mr. Roosevelt would change the personnel of the court if he could, but the judges will not die and he can not make them resign. “The New Dealers boasted that the Supreme Court justices always read the election returns. They have since learned they misjudged the court. Of the 10 New Deal laws to come before the court, eight have been held in violation of the Constitution,” Mr. Elliott declared.
“If we are to stop the destruction:
of American ideals and maintain a government which is the servant and not the master of the people, we must do so in the coming election. After that it will be too late,” he said in closing his address.
