SIR
"Blind, wretched man." in
what dark crooked paths of dis
cord and misery your party has
led deluded but confding peo
pie.
Mr.. Hoover faithfully promis
ed and elcquently reiterated the
assurance that if elected presi
dent be would soon transform
the dark night of industrial de.
preston into glorious day; that
under his wise aud experienced
leadership of men, the oppress
ed, down trodden farmer and
laborer would be regaled with
oil of Smyrna and honey of Hy.
metus.
Yea, a veritable Daniel come
to Judgment. Ably assisted by
Baptist baruac!es, Methodist
mum mics, petriied Presbyterians
and nany other so called uplift
organizations, be was swept into
the White House by the largest
vote ever given President.
What a God send it would have
been if Mr.. Hoover only possess
ed the qualifications of an anely
tic mind, constructive vision,
patriotic heart for the common
people who create the wealth of
our nation. Yes! With these
requisites be rot only would have
stepped into greatness. saved
the masses from unprecedented
suffering but rescued the Re-
publican party from oblivion.
They had already been in power
eight long years, had absolute
control of every lawmaking de
partment of our great federal
government; could annul. amend
or create new laws at will.
HELL'S TRIUME ABROAD
But why ask space to recapit
ulate what they did when it can
be answered 10 sentence?
Whether through incompet
ence or cupidity they did nearly
every thing conceivable 10 stran.
gle and Cypress agriculture and
hamstring labor-and, every.
thing that cunning ambiguity
and sophistry could devise for
the benifit of capital. Result
about half the farms in this no
BILE land of the free and home
of the brave" are mortgaged or
being sold for taxes. Millions
are out of work or enough to eat;
poverty, suffering aud crime
Hell'striume, stalk abroad in the
land; love is left to starve and
sweet content lay fostering in
her sbroud, while per cent OF
our population own SO per cent
of the nations wealth; such con.
ditions can only prevail from
Legislation 10 their favor.
The G. 0. p. had begun to
realize that they had ventured
into deep water and were bad
swimmers. MIR. Hoover appeal
ed to them as an inspired Moses
to lead them out of the dense
wilderness of errors under which
they were rapidly being sub.
merged. With the confidence of
a child be assured them be could
do it. / fear he took himself
too seriously and did not know
that of all systems. that which
makes US thoroughly acquainted
with our own significance is the
most reasonable. Nor does be
seem to appreciate the fact that
to be the head Of the greatest
nation Of all times requires an
intellectual giant.
II has been wisely said: When
states manship. patriotism and
genius depart from the White
House, mediocrity and stupidity
hold high carnival. We should
place ourselves on q level of our
age before we attempt TO rise
above it,"
| HOOVER IS RAPED
Mr.. Hoover has assumed and
given more power than any
! President before him, and it is
thought by many that such un
usual prerogatives have gone to
his head; iof lted his brain. For
at times be seems living in the
twilight Of reason, then in the
dawn Of insanity. Az they figure
it out, "a sort Of intellectual va
cil!ating, moral deformity." Be
this as it may, all agree that it
is difficult to distinguish between
