Farm Speech'
By GOP Head
FlaysWallace
Address By John Hamilton
Draws Mixed Reaction
In Senate And House
Borah Takes Issuek
WASHINGTON, Oct. 18 -(p)- A
statement by John D. M. Hamilton,
Republican national chairman, that
the administration's farm program
had collapsed, produced a mixed re-
action today.
Several Democratic members of
Congress dissented sharply; some oth-
er legislators said the crop control
program had failed to accomplish its
purpose and that other m'eans of
assisting the farmer would have to
be found.
Hamilton told a farm belt audience
at Montpelier, that declines in prices
of wheat, cotton, corn and other pro-
ducts during the past year showed
,hat the administration program had
broken down. Democratic senators re-
plied that Hamilton should compare
resent farm income with thht of the
Hoover Administration.
"If Chairman Hamilton has a clean
ut solution for the farm problem, let
him bring it out in the open," said
Senator Pepper (D-Fla.), ardent New

Sixty students have submitted pe-
ttions, applying for the 16 vacancies
in the Student Senate. The elections
this Friday will be conducted accord-
ing to the Hare system of proportion-
al representation with the single

been submitted by 32 candidates and
are printed in the order in which
their names appear on the ballot.

(c) Promote better rooming condi-

(4) I believe that definite action
should be taken on the proposal to
formulate a Student Co-operative
Book Exchange.
Donald Counihan
Liberal Coalition'
We favor:
CAMPUS
1. A greater measure of student
government on this campus and the
curtailment of faculty and adminis-
tration control over student extra-

that seek to destroy or curtail them.
2. We support the anti-lynching
bill.
3. We condemn the vicious and mis-
leading attacks of the Dies Commit-
tee and the reactionary press on in-
dividuals and organizations active in
humanitarian causes.
POLITICAL
1. The support of progressive state
and national candidates who repre-
sent the interests of the farmers, pro-
fessionals, small business men and
wage-earners. We favor the elec-
tion of liberal adherents to the New
Deal and endorse the reelection of
Governor Murphy as an outstanding
nroarPssive

>Iamilton, in his appeal to farmers,
said the New Deal was in an "in-
congruous situation." He said Secre-
tary Wallace and the Agriculture De-
partment were forcing farmers to re-
luce acreage and marketings while
Secretary Hull and the State Depart-
Went, through reciprocal trade pacts,
were lowering tariffs and inviting for-
eigners to send grain and meat here.
The Republican leader said this was
an "economy of scarcity for the
American farmer" while trade pacts
offered this country "as a free market
for the world."
Senator Borah (R-Idaho), Dean of
he small band of Republican Sena-
ors, said he agreed that the Adminis-
ration's farm program had collapsed,
but took issue with Hamilton's criti-
ism of Secretary Wallace's proposal
o subsidize consumption by low-in-
bome persons in the United States.
Hamilton had said this proposal by
Wallace was an "idea to end all New
teal ideas" and would fail to aid the
farmer while costing more than
$1,000,000,000 annually.

e -one of the most important parts
f this service, since the proof of
he pudding will be in finding jobs
or the youth who have been aided.
A follow-up service, which is an
mportant item from the point of view
f checking methods in guiding young
leople, and in improving these tech-
iiques, is the last step in helping
'outh solve its problems in a world
f economic insecurity.
Throughout this guidance activity
he services of the many other groups
onnected directly with the Bureau
r doing the same type of work, are
elied upon. A special Child Guid-
mce division, the YMCA and the
YWCA, school staffs, social service
xchanges, the Mott Foundation for
ecreation services, research groups,
gid innumerable other such organi-
ations, co-operate in aiding young
eople, which requires individual and
xpert treatment in order to be of
,ny value. Mr. Guckert is being assist-
d in this co-ordinating program,
me of the most significant aspects
f the project, by Mrs. Frances H.
diner.
The Bureau also carries on a com-
lete program for behavior and per-
onality adjustment. Vocational guid-

Independent Liberal
Guided by "the belief that govern-
ment should exist in the interests of
the economic and social well-being of
the majority" I support the follow-
ing program:
In view of the failure of competi-
tion as a regulator of our economic
life, I favor the extension of effective
government regulation and public
planning in so far as they prove fea-
sible, necessary, and beneficial.
In the field of education, which is
of special interest to students, I favor
the broadening and increasing of ed-
ucational opportunities for all.
Mindful of the repressive moves
that have occurred with alarming fre-
quency to crush political and civil
liberties, I pledge support of the de-
fense of democratic rights in all
spheres.-
I favor a popular political party
which represents the interests of
farmers, professiohals, small business
men, and wage earners.
Recognizing that wars are never
fought in the interests of the people
who pay the terrible price which must
be paid, I favor domestic and inter-
national policies such as will bring
peace and security to the war-
harassed generation of today; these
policies to be based upon 'collective
action of the workers and students
throughout the world.
Martin B. Dworkis
Liberal Progressive,
The Student Senate serves as an
active, forceful medium to affect the
wish of the student body; it is the
only campus-wide body of concen-
trated student opinion. I am running
for reelection to this body on simple
principles. It would be narrowmind-
ed for me to propose one definite
platform; my liberalism consists in
being thoroughly judicious to alll
problems. I am not overly sentimental
to the status quo, yet I openly pro-
pose no definite innovations of ad-
justments; my progressiveness con-+
sists in evincing a pliable disposition+
to better and advancing ideas. If I
am re-elected I'll do as I see fit, guid-l
ed by my limited acumen.
The Senate is a growing power onI
campus interested in the students'I
welfare; it is a student body. It needs
everyone's support-show yours by
voting next Friday.

We, candidates of the Progressive

3. More and stronger organizations
among racial minorities.

5. Establishment of a more tho-
rough orientation program.

reau, similar to those at other pro-

such projects as the Union Coffee

With the world today ruled by
emotionalism in the form' of hate,
prejudice, and hysterical seeking to
escape from reality by espousing any
scheme that promises a Utopia,
American Youth, though its head be
in the clouds must keep its feet firm-
ly on tested ground.
To this end we pledge ourselves to
defend the status quo when attacked
by agitators whose emotions over-
rule their intellects; to amend it, in
turn, when, scientific investigation
and analysis point the way to a bet-
ter scheme of things.
We shall take no preconceived at-
titude on any proposal. Rather we
shall examine each new measure as it1
arises, subject it to sane analysis, and
compare it with the status quo. If the
status quo, whether campus, nation-
al, or international suffers by com-
parison, we shall bend all our talents
;o espousing a change.
Believing in representative govern-
ment, we shall consider ourselves ser-
vants of the student body. As such
we shall aways stand ready to intro-
duce measures submitted by our con-
stituents, if we consider the measure
a worthy one.

As I stated I am an Independent
Liberal. Independent stands for no
affiliation with any party. Liberal
stands for my entire outlook on every
subject or at least what I attempt
to be. I do agree with many of the
views of the different parties but I
disagree with some of the others. I
shall attempt to study every idea
from the Independent Liberal view-
point and not with any affiliated pre-
judice. I wish to be elected as a man
not as a party cog.
Abraham J. Goodman
Liberal
I favor the retention of Class Of-'
ficers, but firmly believe that certain
reforms are needed1 in the present
system.
Also, since many students are from
homes in the near vicinity of Ann
Arbor, and since sentiment was very
strong in this direction last fall, I
support the abolition of Friday and
Saturday classes following Thanks-
giving.
John M. Mulkey;
Independent
What this campus needs more thana
a good five-cent cigar, less conges-
tion at the movie theaters or reduced
prices at the Union and League dances
are a sound, practical course in Mar-
riage, and a three-day Thanksgiving
vacation.
At the earliest possible date, a
course in Marriage should be added,
to the curriculum of the University.
Such courses are offered in colleges
and universities throughout the coun-
try. Michigan must take her place
among the front-ranking, progressive
universities of the nation. "Bull ses-
sions" have lost their efficacy in aid-
ing students in finding a way of
living. Many thought-provoking ques-
tions are left unanswered.. A course
in Marriage would answer those ques-
tions.
A sore spot among the student body
for many a day has been the lack of a
three-day Thanksgiving vacation.
That sore spot must be healed. Classes
are cut regardless of the ruling. Such
regimentation does not have its de-
sired effect upon the students. The
Student Senate should strive to con-
vince the authorities that a course
in Marriage and a three-day Thanks-
giving vacation should and must be-

dents of bothsexes. can become ac-
quainted.
4. Peace and better understanding
between nations.
5. Cooperating to make our coun-
try a better, finer, more pleasant
place to live in.
I Alexis M. Anikeeff

I intend, if elected to the Studentc

1. An increased measure of public
ownership and control of the coun-
try's basic economic resources.
2. Long range planning of public
housing and slum clearance as well as
other constructive public works.
3. The firm establishment of the
principle of collective bargaining, as
guaranteed by the Wagner Act, and
extension of the principle of wage-
hour regulation.
4. Government action to curb those
monopolies which are enabled by their
economic control to operate in op-
position to the interest of the wage-
earner and the consumer.
5. Increased credit to farmers and
a federal farm bill to insure the farm-
ers adequate prices, a fair standard
of living and ownership of their land.
6. Improved and enlarged unem-
ployment insurance plans, as well as
old age pensions, health and acci-
dent insurance, and full and adequate
relief for the unemployed.
7. Ratification of the Child Labor
Amendment.
8. Consumers' and producers' co-
operatives.

I uphold one of the almost forgot-
ten institutions of government and
student activity-Progress. It is nec-
essary to remember that throughout
history the maintenance of the status
quo has led to great suffering and
inefficiency. Only in Progress can we
hope to develop. Therefore, I pledge
myself to uphold, both in national and
campus questions, measures which
will keep us moving forward.

along Constitutional lines, 2. a more

to solve the basic problems of war,
poverty, and exploitation. Until then
I propose the following program of
immediate steps in that direction:
1. Keep America out of war, and
fight the plans of those who are mak-
ing ready for war.
2. Use the military appropriations
instead for socially useful public
works.
3. Build a new party for labor, in-
dependent of the reactionary Repub-
lican and Democratic parties.
4. On campus I support low cost
dorms, racial equality, extension of
campu co-ops, union standards for
student workers, and academic free-
dom.
Jack Sessionsf
Liberal
I am a sincere advocate of democ-
racy, democracy in the literal sense
of the word and not as illustrated by
the Dies Committee. The fate of
America rests upon its young people.
Our lives depend upon whether this
responsibility is assumed by an in-
telligently progressive youth move-
ment or whether it is assumed by a
band of goose-stepping automatons
pressed into action by the ambitions
of a "Boss."
Irving K. Fox

Unaffiliated
I feel that dormitory facilities
should be further extended, that ill-
feeling and discrimination against
racial minorities on campus and in
Ann Arbor be discountenanced, and
also that student organizations on
;he campus, including fraternal, poli-
tical, and athletic, should enjoy Uni-
versity encouragement;. in the light
of which, it is my sincere hope that
the sharp division between academic
and athletic scholarship may cease to
exist. Peter Carter
