dom. As our nation is regimented, our farmers’ crops regulated and foreign practices increase, our army of jobless increases and business recedes, This is an indisputable fact whatever arguments may be used by those supporting foreign doctrines in America. “I say Americanism is the big fssue because so long as commun{sm. naziism and fascism stalks our land all the laws of the universe cannot bring better. times to our workers. “Until we have adequate tariff laws to protect our laborers and our farmers from cheap European com-
books can give our workers jobs, nor furnish them with buying power to purchase the farmers’ products. Until we return to our American form of government and give this protection, the nation cannot prosper. “There is no security for the worker or the aged, and will never be, so long as that so-called security depends on the Goternment’s ability to borrow while a gigantic deficit grows larger each day.”

partments of Government, States rights were recognized and local
self government guaranteed. “The Republican Party must defend this idea which is real liberal ism. The New Deal is as old as ancient history. Every clique of men who ever have overthrown a government, started their movement as a ‘friend of the people’ following with a creation of class hatreds and destruction of capital wealth by punitive taxation, using money raised by such taxation to bribe and corrupt the electorate in order to work their will “The interests of labor, capital and agriculture are identical and all our ills can be worked out without destroying ‘The American Way.! Labor's right to organize and to adjust wages and better working conditions must be recognized and enforced. Industry must be free from punitive taxes and regulation, encouraged instead of handicapped. Agriculture, our basic industry, must be encouraged, preserved and protected. “Our party platform will give in detail the principles herein set out, all of which can be worked by co-operation and without the destruction of the ‘American Way'.”

gress and in the ranks of the Republican Party qualify me for a place among those who seek to preserve our nation and hand it down to posterity safe in the folds of the Constitutional liberties and guaranties intended by Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln and the other great leaders. “My record in the U. S. Senate where I served as leader in obtaining enactment of progressive, Con« stitutional legislation speaks for itself. Among these important laws are a tariff fact-finding commis sion, the R. F. C.; the McNary-Hau-gen Farm Act, the first pure food and drug act, a literacy test for immigrants, woman's suffrage, the 16hour law for railroad workers and a labor mediation board, creation of a Federal Radio Commission, the first Home Loan law. “My experience in legislation and acquaintance with national affairs will permit me to step immediately into the fight against those principles which are inimical to the best interests of the people of our country, and for a return to safe, sane and sound policies which will guarantee liberty and normal opportunity for all.”

MICHIGAN CITY, June 28 (U, P.) ~Robert Shaw, 27-year-old exe

day at the State Prison for the murs
der of Henry Spice, a Lagrange County deputy sherifI.
He was pronounced dead at 12:09 a. m, Only prison officials, phy= sicians and the prison chaplain were present, Warden Alfred Dowd said Shaw went to his death without
making a statement. His execution had been set for midnight Thursday, but was halted by a dramatic last-minute reprieve, resulting from the intercession of Warden Dowd. At that time Mr. Dowd said he was not certain that the death sen« tence imposed on a plea of guilty and without a jury trial was proper, He telephoned Governor Townsend who granted a stay until today. Then Attorney General Omer S, Jackson ruled that the conviction had been proper and the execution was rescheduled. Yesterday Shaw lived his “last” day for the second time. He went through the same routine as he had on Thursday. He ate another “last” meal and read the Bible.
