great value during the campaign.
Your wide experience in public life
has enabled you to present public
problems in an exceedingly clear
and practical way."
Curtis Explains. .
CHICAGO. Aug. 21. Senator.
Curtis, republican vice-president lal
nominee, said here today in a talk
with newspapermen that in his
proposal for appointment ot a
joint congressional committee to
- consitler the agricultural problem,
he had In mind only the legislative
side of the situation.
"I think it would be better," he
said, "that a joint congressional
committee be appointed to consider
whatever recommendations are
made to congress by the president
or anyone else than to go ahead
with two large eommiUees, one in
the senate and one In the bouse,
considering the problem separate
ly. I merely suggested this plan
as an easier one in legislative ac
tion." The question was " brought up
when one of the reporters suggest
ed that the vlce-pvesldontlal nomi
nee and Herbert Hoover, republi
can standard bearer, were working
at cross purposes.
"Not at all." Curtis declared em
phatlcal'y. "I want congress to be
ready to take up whatever Mr.
Hoover works out."
