This Is what presidential candidates ot the two big parties say about some of the country's problems: . Prohibition: Hoover It la my belief that In or der to remedy present evils a change 1b necessary by which we resummon a proper share ot initiative and re sponsibility which the very essence of our government demands shall rest upon the states and local author ities. That change must avoid return of the saloon. .Roosevelt I am confident that the United States ot America wants re peal, xxx when that happens we as Democrats mlust and will xxx en able the states to protect themselves against the Importation of Intoxicat ing liquors where such Importations may violate their state laws. We must rightly and morally prevent the return of the saloon. Tariff: Hoovoi' I am squarely for a protec tive tariff. I am against the pro posal, ot "a competitive tariff for revonue" as advocated by our oppon ents. That would place our farmers and our workers In competition with peasant and weated labor products. Roosevelt I accept that admirable tanri statement In the platform of this convention (advocating "a com petitive tariff for revenue, with a fact-finding tariff commission free from executive Interference"). Tar iffs should be high enough to main tain standards which we set for our selves. Reconstruction: : Hoover I am today organising the private Industrial and financial re sources of tho country to co-oporate effectively with the vast govern mental Instrumentalities' which we have In motion so that x x x we may move from; defense to powerful attack, xxx recovery may be slow but we will succeed. ' Roosevelt When we get the ohance, the federal government will assume bold leadership, xxx our Repub lican leadora tell us economic Jaws xxx cause panics which no one could prevent. We must lay hold of the fact that economic laws are not made by nature. They are made by human beings, .
