The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-12-02

Manchester, NH. Dec 2-Jouet sbouse. national chairman of the democratic party, exhorted New
 Ham pshire democrats of the hrst conversational district, where an el- ection is pending, to add another seat to the growing democratic house at Washington. Such action upon the part of the electorate m New Hampshire, said MT snouse would further show to the country the extent of the revolt which is increasing hourly against the Hoover administration. Excerpts or the speech are as follows:
 It is with pleasure that l come to New Hampshire to make pont. ical speech. bring you tidings or vast progress in democratic prIn- ciples throughout the Uniteo ota.es typified by the reversal or the po- litical situation of 1928. The eleo tions since that year nave turnes .a. a republican majority or iVa vo'eS n nositiye republican minority Tn that chamber and have reduced renublican majority of 16 in the limited States senate practically 10 the vanishing point.
 T am able to tell you that at no time during my political experi- ence have democratic prospects for winning every branch or the government been greater. ana also | feel that New Hampshire IS nov ing with the tide and that your state is about to return demo- cratic congressman from the nrst district after ten years or repup- lican representation.
 do not need to dwell on the national importance of your im- pending election. In the first place our present majority in the house consists of three votes only. It is necessary to solidify and increase this majority if we are to function successfully and in a manner to lm- press the country. with the circum- stances that 1t has made no mis- take in reposing responsipinty in democratic hands. In the second niaca the election of a democrat in New Hampshire will be hailed Throughout the country as an ex- plicit index of the extent of the re- volt against the sort of govern ment we have experienced at the hands of the Hoover administra- ton.
 As you know, all the revenue measures must originate in the house of representatives, con sequently whatever enactment is made looking to the. bal ancing of our budget, wneth- CT 1t be by a change in the system of taxation or by further govern ment borrowing, must be determin- ed by our delegation in the house. Likewise, whatever action is taken in mitigation of the disaster due to the Shoot -Hawley tariff bill must bear the democratic imprint ana no section of the United States ls more concerned that the tarin should be handled with intelligence and in the manner to aid and not further endanger the distressed in- dustries of our country than New Hampshire.
 on these subjects must be inaugu- rated by the democratic house, 1t must not be supposed that because we have succeeded to a majority of that body we are going to de- prive the president of the United States of his high authority and equally high responsibility to put before congress his program for meeting these grave issues It is the presidents responsibility under the law. The budget and accounting act provides that if the annual budget submitted to congress at the open ing of the session shows q deficit in prospect, the chief executive must recommend new taxes, loans or other appropriate action to meet tho estimated deficiency." You have probably noticed in the news paper reports of statements by Senator Watson and other adminis- tration spokesmen the cheerful de- mand that the democrats now in power of the house should promui- gate their program. As Senator Watson's statement was made just following q visit to the White House think we have the right to presume that this ia presidential suggestion. We have experienced during the Hoover administration many examples Of the presidents ,ilslncllnntlon Go accept responsible ity-a course which. if we were rec ferring Co n less exalted parsonage. might bo described in the coiloqui-
