Their conclusion was that about

The overlooked fact discovered by
the economists was that the dis

A few industries had generally
higher standards of wages than the
NRA standard, notably aircraft,

Both Lowden and Spangler tola
the assemblage the issue for 1936

above an Illuminated portrait of
Abraham Lincoln, drew a noisy dem

dress when he said:
"The Issue today Is the philoso
phies of I.lncotn against those ot

Lowden declared the "essential
forms of our government are chal
lenged In high places."
For agriculture, he proposed out-and-out
government benefits to cor
respond with Industry's advantages
from the protective tariff. The form
er governor departed from his man
uscript to take this stand.
Jeers and cries of "hit him again"
punctuated Spangler's address when
