The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-10-27

monetary system endangered; in fact
our whole government structure was
threatened with destruction. He
charged them with playing politics
with human misery and at the ex-
pense and ruin of our country. He
also said, eff you do not balance the
budget on your shoulders must rest
the responsibility to the nation for
its downfall" Then and only then
did Mr.. Garner try to gain control of
the House and balance the budget af-
ter "a fashion"
But his antics on the last day of
Congress made life so hectic his own
party was ashamed and disguised
with him and said. their party would
never get any place until they muz-
zled him. Mr.. Gamers ability for
deliberate misrepresentation of him.
self, the Republican administration
and Congress leaves nothing to be
desired. The most fitting comparison
1 have heard of him is that he is like a
chameleon on plaid" and this is the
man we have reason to believe may be
President of the United States in the
next three years in the event of a
Democratic victory on November 8.
Franklin D. Roosevelt was born
with silver spoon in his mouth; was
brought up with no responsibility
other than the ownership of two pup
pies and a pony. His luxurious en-
vironment totally units him to cope
with the great economic problems of
our country today. He would seem
to be entirely ignorant of the interna-
tional policies of which President Her
bert Hoover has shown such intelli-
gent mastery. He has procured all
the help he could get to formulate his
speeches, has travelled from coast to
coast making them and in all of them
he has not offered a single construc-
tive plan for economic recovery, I'M
less planting a few trees and keep
ing a brass rod in the closet to whip
the Federal government when it does
not perform to suit him, can be called
one. He refuses to face the situation
and is silent on all issues of import.
True enough he has said some things
should be done, but does not offer
any plan to put them into effect. He
is shallow, insincere, evasive; the fiat
terry he handed out to his radical pro-
gressive friends is all the more sick
ening because we know how little it
really means. His competitive tariff
and free trade ideas are ruinous. A
sample we have had is Japan dumping
shipload after shipload of silk on us
at much less price than we can
manufacture it, with the result that
every factory in America has had to
close down.
AS Governor of New York, Frank
lin D. Roosevelt's record shows ineffi-
cheney, extravaganza and lack of econ
omy. This is the man who aspires to
President Hoover's job and of whom
"Teddy" Roosevelt warned US against
in 1916. Now his wife and daughter
are saying if he was Republican
they could still not vote for him and
the "only thing in common between
US is his surname"
With the speeches of the Governor
mixed up like a dogs breakfast, one
can get but little out of them. They
are so different from the clear, con-
else statements of the President, who
writes his own. The "new deal" the
Governor talks about and of which no
one has any conception of it's mean
ing, might we'll be anything" Of
two things we are sure: First, it is
experimental; second, with Huey
Long, Hiram Johnson, Norris, Cut
ting, Wheeler, Harrison, Blanton, Pat
man, Lafollette and many other radi-
Gals in the House and Senate, and
with John ]. Rascob, Al Smith and
Mrs. Hartman in the cabinet the pic
