Plank Binds no Candidate He said the republican prohi bition plan "was not Intended to mean anything. "It was written," he said, "so any candidate in any congression al district can say 'Oh, I'm not bound by. that platform'." He said this made it easy for republican candidates to . receive the support , of the "aggregation of bigots that make up the dry forces. ."The result of it all has been just this," he continued, "the de - mocratle plank has put the demo crats in the bright lights and the republicans are left, the party of bigotry, deceit and hypocrisy."

"We don't concede the right ot anybody abroad to Judge what form of state is most suitable for Germany. That is tor the German people alone to decide. Bat I have emphasised and I want to re peat unmistakably that we have such a. multitude of problems to solve that' we are glad If Ire don't have, in addition, to worry about questions of the form of the state. That question is not an issue." He discussed the economic out look, asserting that common sense Justified faith in more favorable economic development. , 'Improvement In the world eco nomic situation has been contin uing in recent weeks," he said "Unless all signs mislead us, the drop in prices for raw materials from which the collapse ot world economy emanated has reached an end."
