The executive has no power to modify euher. "It is in no sense an attempt at nullification to supeit changes in the constitution or thu law. Nulli fication consists in refusal or wil ful failure to enforce." The. senator in discussing the American shipping policy said an adequate merchant marine ,was recognized by the democratic pai'ty as "essential to tho sitlcty of the nation and the Independence of its commerce." and on the nues- ;tion of political corruption he held ithiil "honesty In public affairs is of f transcending importance."

Air.

" ; The senator reviewed Air. iloov Jer's remarks on the farm question and deduced that the democrats i repudiate his proposal "to limit farm production to domestic de- miindK as calculated to belittle ratliwr than to encourage tho great ; industry of agriculture," j "The democratic party reeog ; niz.es the right of farmers," the j senator went on, "to lead in the j development of farm policies.

"The democratic nominee for j president has committed himself i to prompt aitd decisive action in I accordance with the principles j outlined la our plntform." j Among other things during the J course of ills speech, the senator I said that, the "wholesale frauds 1 perpetrated by republican office Then (Subscriptions Paid in Advance Only) luddcrs since March A, 1:121," had prompted the republican national convention to place in its plntforrn a plank declaring in favor of hon esty in government. He also declared that through out the Hardlng-Coolidge adminis trations the prohibition bureau had been under the treasury de partment, "whose head, prior to national prohibition was largely 'interested in- the liquor business. "Air. Vare (William S. Vara of Pennsylvania), who thwarted the ' movement to 'Stop Hoover1' at , Kansas City and forced Air. Hoov er's nomination," he added.

Mowers, the keynoter . at the j Houston convention, told the sena tor that democrats "had noted with Increasing respect your posi tion in the. senate on tho corrup i lion that has shamed our people and toward those knocking for ad ; mission at the senate door with .tainted credentials in their hands." "You have stood," he went on, i'"for the ideals of the nation, for jthe conscience and liberties of the I people- and for militant champion ship of those principles and poll ; tics that we believe essential to the t welfare of the state."
