Putrid Politics and the Jobless By Claude G. Bowers

When the Republican major
ity at Albany made the pledge
to cooperate with Governor
Roosevelt on a program Of re-
lief for the unemployment sit
uation in New York, we did not
believe it.
We disbelieved it for two suf-
ficient reasons. One is that
ever since AL Smith became
governor, 13 years ago, this
majority has played petty pol
itics with every great major
question; and the other is that
it has traditionally considered
itself the guardian of the privi-
leges of the powerful and not
of the rights of the poor.
Our skepticism Is now vim
dicated by events.
This majority, after many
party pow-wows, has announced
its oppositin to the Governors

priation to be expended under
