this man Bump they're running
for congress 1 shan't vote for
him at all. Thtere are too jnany
of that kind already, bck in

That was the first part of con

of the time he spoke on more seri
ous things -than Andy Gumps, on
the gOTernment going into Indus
trialism and trade, and into busi
ness in the ship subsidy bill, -
"I do not believe In imperial
izlng the government," he aaid.
The people should hare a large
part of the powers of government.
The state government ; is easily
controlled. The National govern
ment ; at Washington is' :- too '. far
away for control. " The general
government therefore, should
have only the larger problems,
affecting the people as a nation."
Elaborating this problem, the
speaker, told of the Ford proposal
to lease the Muscle Shoals power
in the Tennessee . river, , the gov
ernment finishing the enormous
expense of building, and guaran
teeing . the ; Ford company 8 per
cent on its nitrate manufactures.
He held that this was a kind of
personal monopoly, : taking the
taxes of the whole people to touild
up a private business that would
come Into direct competition with
many of them, and giving the one
contractor a great advantage, that
the people needed to consider
carefully. ' , ?- V . ." i
"Once you enter Into -such . a
program, who shall say how far
It Is to go? If the gOTernment
furnishes, capital and plant for
one ,why not for another, or for
all We ret back Into the So-i
clalistic state along this road. We
need to know what's ahead Of us
on this dangerous road.",
Mr." Hawley spoke at some
length oa the ship subsidy bill.
explaining first some of the dif-
ficultles in getting the -14,600.-
000.00 Worth of federal ships off
the government's hands. , Most of
the ships were built suitable only
