Candidates Can't Get Away.
In his formal announcement MIR.
Lawson avoids any direct statement
that his chosen didajtes-Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Gov. Johnson
have acquiesced in his political pro-
gramme, but by suggestion it was
made clear that at the white house
conference of Tuesday morning the
Lawson political plan was placed
before the president.
1T matters not a whit to me"
said Mr.. Lawson, whether Presi-
dent Roosevelt approves of the new
party or not, whether he consents

In his formal statement, which
Will be officially promulgated today.
Mr.. Lawson says in part:
Since the panic President Roose-
welt has awakened to a realization
! that If he leaves his policies half

should go into history as an un-
worthy bungler
with class arraigned against
class, with the whole people awak-
ened to their wrongs yet unable to
right them, with the whole people
realizing that they are to be swept
again into the unmerciful NAV of
the system, the whole people will
realize that they had best been al
lowed to wallow in their former
| depreciation.
President Roosevelt now realizes
that IT, at the coming elections. the
systems tools are placed in the
! white house, the people when they
realize 1t, will do something, and
President Roosevelt realizes that
that something Will be something
momentous.
