NUMBER 44
HOOVER^SPLAN
IS ATTACKED
Glass Scores G. O. P. Adminis
tration. Virginia Senator Says
Proposals To Last Congress
Would Have Rocked Banks.
Charg^ “Amazing Dishon-
^ esty” To Republicans.
Eeny^—^Meeny—Miney—Mo!
By Albert T. Reid
Washington, Nov. 1.—Senator Glai*
of Virginia, tonight said that Presi
dent Hoover submitted to the last con
gress “inflationary nroposals that
would have roctted the foundations of
our banking system.”
In his first speech of the campaign
released by the Democratic national
committee in advance of its delivery
over the radio, the former secretary
of the treasury and second ranV;ing
Democrat on the senate banking com
mittee, assailed the Hoover adminis
tration and urged the election of
Franklin D. Roosevelt to the presi
dency. ,
He denied statements of President
Hoover and his supporters that eco
nomic troubles had their origin in Eu
rope, and the Republican assertioh
that Democrats impeded administra
tion efforts to balance the budget and
improve bu.-iness. In addition he said
President Hoover is claiming credit
fj)r measures that could have been en
acted only with Democratic cooper
ation.
Of the inflationary proposals which
he attributed to the president he said
that if they had been enacted they
would “not only have tempted foreign
raids on our gold reserves but would
have incited a dangerous domestic de
mand for redemption." .
“Had these proposals been adopt
ed,” he said, “they would have made
millions of dollars of foreign securi
ties with whi<*h this country was de
luged,, by administration connivance a
basis for tremendous credit expan
sion.”
Referring to - President Hoover’s
statement that the United States was
within two weeks of being driven off
the gold standard last winter, he said
that if this was true, administration
. leaders “were guilty of amazing dis
honesty” in failing “so to advise the
banks and private investors.” During
the period from .lanuary 1 to .June 30,
he said the treasury with the presi
dent’s approval sold $3,700,4.n0 of
tieasury notes and certificates of in
debtedness redeemable in gold.
The Virginian prefaced his addre.ss
V ith a statement that it was “repug
nant” to him to deny the a.s.^ertions
of the president and his cabinet offi
cers, Jjut-^e added:
“To speak with suitable restraint, I
may say that neither Hans Christian
.Ander.'^on nor Karl Grimm, in api>eal-
ing to the fancies of children, ever
overtaxed his imagination as Presi
dent Hoover repeatedly has done in
his endeavor to regain the lo.-t favor
of the American people, (’ontrasted
yvith his speech of acceptance, and his
addresses at Des Moines, Cleveland
and elsewhere, Aesops’ fables de.^erve
to rank as an accurate history of
things that acually occurred.”
.As.serting President Hoover has
converted the treasury at Washington
into “a national pawn-shop,” Glass
said that while the “expedients”
adopted with the intent of improving
business were “bad” they are “not as
vicious as originally proposed by the
administration.”
Turning/to President Hoover’s con
tention that business collapse was
“superinduced by economic convul
sions abroad,” the Virginian declared
the “reverse” was true.-He said:
“I assert that the improvidence, if
not the direct profligacy, of incompe
tent Republican administrations at
W’ashi'ngton is measurably responsi-
' ble for the deplorable situation 'in
which we find ourselves today.”
The senator, reviewing events lead
ing up to the business slump, said jm
era of cheap money was started dur
ing the Harding' administration and
expensive governmental activities ex
panded. Without precedent or author
ity, he sAid, the state department took
upon itself to pass upon loans to for
eign nations and later made a “child
ish” differentiation between the terms
“approved” and “unobjected.”
" “Great banking institutions,” he
continued^ by “high’j pr^^are” meth
ods and with salesnieff “not too scru
pulous to invoke the moral obligation
thus incurred *by the state department

they will mi'et in January to cast their

When a voter ca. ts a ballot for the

If it should happen that a voter
does not care to vote for the Demo

It is possible that ballots other
than those for the two major parties

opening service until the last, the at
tendance showed ,an increase and a
wonderful interest W^s manifested by
the people of Clinton, irrespective of
denomination. \
Sunday was a busy day fori'Mr. Mc
Quilkin. At 11 o’clock he spnke to an
audience of more than one thoifsalkl-
persons. At 1:4o he addressed the
ministerial student.s at Presbyterian
college, at three o’clock he spoke to
four hundred men at a special men’s
meeting, and for the closing evening
service he was greeted with the larg
est assemblage of the entire meet’rig.
During the closing day.s large rum-
bers came forward and pledged them
selves to live faithfully the Chri.>t;an
life and forsake sin.
Mr. McQuilkin won the heart i of
the people of Clinton and wjll be re
membered here fnr% many years. .\
preacher of elo<iuence and power, nos-
ses.sing a pleasing and attractive per
sonality, he presented strong, ap{>eal-
ing, simple Gospel, sermons that were
a great inspiration to the large audi
ences who heard him at each service.
Mr. McQuilkin left Monday for his
home in Columbia. .U the closin.g .-er-

the courtesies shown him while here
