1t will avail them less that moth

trations of Roosevelt disaster 1t is
true that the party in power must
always suffer for depression, but it
would be futile to attempt to per-
suade the public that the collapse of
inflated schemes and the wrecks that
strew the path of finance are due to
governmental abuse OF power. The
people have had too clear an insight
into the workings of Morganism to
forget that it is the cause, and the
sole cause Of the 'rich mans panic"
The people at large have no interest
in the "bear movement" save as a
spectacle.
And, furthermore, the Wall street
genesis of the anti Roosevelt cam
