United States District Attorney
Otcrge Neuner, now In Med ford on
federal court duty, fired the opening
gun In the Jackson county campaign
of the Republican party with an ad
dreaa over KMED last evening.
Mr. Neuner, who waa Introduced
by Frank P. Farrell. chairman of the
county central committee, laid In
part:
"We are on the eve of another
presidential eleotlon. Within
month, Mr. and Mrs. citizen will go
to the polla and elect the pilot char
tered to direct the destiny and keep
the faith of our fathers In the good
old TJ. 8. A. for the next four years.
On the one hand stands Herbert
Hoover, who has served us In various
publlo capacities since the year 1814
on the other hand stands Franklin
Roosevelt, who has also served you
in divers public capacities for an
equal length of time: one a Repub
lican: the other a Democrat: each
representing his party, and I blleve,
honestly, fearlessly and aggressively.
"The record of these two great
Americans has been written Indelibly
into the pages of history of our coun
try as well as into the hearts of Its
countrymen. Let us search the per
sonal achievement of each and the
publlo service each of these standard-bearers
has rendered to the nation
and the principles of the respective
political parties each represents.
Personalities Not Issues.
"Senator Borah from Idaho onoe
aid:
"It requires less brains to run a
campaign of personalities than any
other intellectual activity we engage
In. They do not clarify Issues; they
do not instruct voters.1'
"Political parties are as indispens
able under our present form of gov
ernment as a safety valve to an en
gine; furthermore, under this form
of government, we have expanded
and grown from 13 weak and strug
gling states to the richest, most en
lightened and civilized nation of the
world. Do we want to change our
system of government and Join the
free lances and the communist? Why,
certainly not. Well, to destroy our
great political parties would be to
change and despoil our representative
form of government. I respect the
views of every honest partisan, even
though he may not agree with my
views, or in the principles of my
party, and, as Mark Twain so aptly
stated:
" 'It Is the difference of opinion
that makes boss races.' And balances
government.
Fartles Necessary.
"In other words. In a free govern
ment like ours, where the people rule
and have a voice, we must have some
means of translating the will ef the
majority and writing that will Into
laws. The citizen who has no use
for political parties, does not have
the slightest conception of our gov
ernmental structure, nor does he con
tribute anything toward a free and
stable government where Its minority
must bow to the will of the major
ity, I should be derelict In my duty
as a citizen should I fall to apeak
on behalf of my party, the party of
Lincoln, of Orant, of McKInley, of
Theodore Roosevelt and of Herbert
Hoover; the Republican party, Its
candidates, its Ideals, its history, Its
hopes and aspirations and. last but
not least, for the future preservation
of our constltutlonsl government.
"We have no apology for our stew
ardship for the M years, out of the
.last 70, we have directed the destiny
of thls nation, ever since the birth
of &e Republican party, during which
time it has furnished the presidents
and It has been responsible for Its
wiils-e. Has It been Infallible? Ab
solutely no. It made mistakes; yes.
for had it been Infallible and not
made mistakes during that long pe
riod of time, surely It would not have
yielded the leadership to the Demo
cratic party during 19 years of that
period of time.
"Kept I's Out of War."
"From 1014 to 1031, the Democratic
party was in power, in full blast,
with Wood row Wilson at the throttle,
and his son-in-law, "Much Adoo,' on
the deck, directing the ship and, with
the distinguished governor of New
York heaving coal.
"During this short period, as time
goes, millions of human llres were
snuffed out, 80 billions of gold dol
lars worth of property was destroyed,
the entire world was plunged Into a
well-nigh hopeless blanket of debt
and taxation, absolutely destroying

It wu not Herbert Boover who wu
rtttponilbl for thla greit catutropb.
It wu Wood row Wilton who "Kept

Herbert Hoover, during that period
of tlm following the war cloud who
volunteered hi aervlcea to the Dem
ocratic administration and who be
came the food administrator of the
stricken European countries and fed
the children and women during those
dark days of the war.
"We next have him as secretary of
commerce offering constructive ad
vice to the administration of affairs,
not only of the United States, but
for the reconstruction of the stricken
nations of Europe. Everywhere and
on each occasion, discharging his
duties with dignity, ability and fidel
ity; bringing his rugged Individual
ity Into play and directing the des
tinies of these countries In that zone.
No Tariff Protection.
"After eight years of Democratic
rule, the Republican party came Into
power In 1931 and you all remember
that from 60 to 70 per cent of our
farm produce was then on the free
list under the Underwood tariff bill.
Neither industry nor agriculture had
any protection against the Importa
tion from other countries of a flood
of agricultural products and shortly
thereafter, between this time and the
time that the emergency tariff of
1931 was passed by a Republican
congress, the Importation of produce
from other countries, In that year,
amounted to, In round numbers, three
billion dollars, and It Is history that
during the last year of the war our
agriculture had been stimulated 100
per cent and the result has been that
the congress has, ever since, been
trying to solve the farm problem.
For a period of 11 years, and since
that time, 35 or 80 bills have been
enacted Into law with the hope and
expectation that It would give agri
culture the greatly needed and de
served relief, but to this time, I
regret to say, that while some of this
legislation haa helped, yet It has not
oome up to the expectation of those
who have been dealing with this
problem. '
"This haa not been a partisan mat
ter. Both parties, through their rep
resentatives, have honestly tried to
solve the problem, anxious to bring
the farmer into a position of equal
ity with Industry.
"This haa been one of the prob
lems we have Inherited from our
Democratic friends, a product of the
war, but this Is not the only one.
There are others equally depressing
and annoying and one is the Immi
gration problem.
Aliens Flooded Country.
"The number of immigrants ad
mitted to the United States from all
countries In 1914, under the Demo
cratic administration, was 1,218.418,
G. A. R. VETS PARADE AGAIN

march In the parade at the sixty-sixth annual encampment of the Q. A.
R. at Springfield, III. Veterans playing ths fife and drum are shown
leading the march. (Associated Press Photo)
while only 303,338 departed. On May
20, 1924, to check this Influx of Im
migrants from war-stricken Europe,
a Republican congress passed a dras
tic restlctlve law. The wisdom of
this policy of protecting American
workmen cannot be doubted and
should be commended by all citi
zens. This law has been of benefit
to the working -man of the United
States, but this did not check the
flood of Immigration to the United
States. It Is estimated that there are
now several million aliens wlhln the
United States, Illegally. The tt was
further amended urftll the number
dropped to 390,207 Immigrants, of
which 77,899 departed within one
year.
"Since then the law has been rig
idly enforced until only 43,353 were
admitted, while 33,180 departed. Near
ly 19,000 of this number were de
ported through the department of la
bor of the United States, but the
fact remains that there still remain
within the United States a vast army
of aliens, Illegally, and If they could
be deported It would go a long way
toward solving the unemployment
problem.
"Under the Republican administra
tion, the Immigration laws have been
strictly enforced and over econstant
protest of sympathizers. During the
last fiscal year, under President Hoov
er's executive order and for the first
time In history, the total number of
aliens leaving the United States, In
any one year, outnumbered those en
tering the United States.
Friend of Labor.
"The American Federation of Labor
only In July of this year, through
Its president, Mr. Greene, commended
President Hoover for his efforts In
Its behalf and endorsed him In no
uncertain terms, a Just and deserved
commendation from this great or
ganization and no man did more tor
labor than our president.
"Much has been said during this
campaign about the tariff. This is
not a new subject, in fact, ever sines
ths existence of our re publlo has this
subject been a topic of discussion and
controversy. In fact, Abraham Lin
coln made this statement when he
first ran for the Illinois legislature:
" 'Friends and fellow citizens, I am
plain Abe Lincoln. I have consented
to become a candidate for the legis
lature. My political principles are
like the old woman's dance short
and sweet. I believe In a United
States bank, I believe In a protective
tariff. I believe In a system of In
ternal Improvements, and I am for
freedom of every human creature.
If, on that platform, you can give me
your suffrage Z shall be much obliged.
If not, no harm done, and I remain,
respectfully yours, Abe Lincoln.'
. "That platform of 70 years ago la
sound on this day and It clearly
proves to the world that the Repub
lican party has kept faith with Lin
coln and has always advocated and
does now advocate a protective tariff.
Roofserelt the Farmer.
"A great farmer Is this man Roose
velt; his remtdy lift yourself by your
boot straps. Doee he know anything
about the farm problem?
"The trouble with us Is that we
cannot lift ourselves by our boot
straps. If we could, maybe a scien
tific planning would help. But I be
lieve we have had too much scien
tific planning of the farm problem
already.
"The distinguished, governor did
not tell you end why, I do not
know that the first eight months
in the year 1930, before the tariff
act, which he condemns bitterly, be
came effective, there was Imported
Into the United States milk, hides,
meats, cheese, skins and wool valued
at 983,784,000, all of which are prod
ucts of the farm. After this act went
Into effect and .In the first eight
months of 1931, the Imports In these
Identical commodities had fallen to
$39,913,000. In other words, nearly
$43,000,000 of these same oommbd
Itles, which means our people bought
and consumed the goods of our own
production.
"A mere school boy can peruse the
record and will understand that the
tariff law now In operation Is ef
fectively saving the American market
for the American farmer.
Square Deal Asked.
"I ask for a square deal for the
man In the White House, honest,
able and fearless, fighting your battle
and my battle, for your land and my
land, for your flag and my flag, of
whom the Illustrious Chas. Evan
Hughes, now chief Justice of the
United States supreme court, four
years ago proclaimed:
The Americanism of Herbert
Hoovsr is shown la every deed In
very utterance. His achievements
dignified the nation and established
prestige for ths American name
abroad which even the mlstskes of
diplomacy cannot obscure. He bears
a name illustrious because of re
markable achievement; but best of
all, it Is a name untarnished, ex
pressive not only of exceptional abil
ity but of the simple life of a mod
est citizen
"He towers head and shoulders
above every ruler In the world to
day, looked upon as the salvation
of the peoples of the world, revered
and respected by every friendly na
tion, feared by every selfish and de
signing nation, gives him your sup
port In a time when he needs It
and he will bring the old ship of
state into the harbor of peace, pros
perity and land of happier homes."
