The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-11-03
To the Voters of Gar
rett County, Md.

propose to discuss briefly Mr..
Hoover's administration during his
term of office as President of the
United States and contrast it with
the administration of Franklin d.
Roosevelt as Governor of New York
during the same period.
Let us go back to the time of Wood
row Wilson. The war changed COM
pletely the economic status of the
United States. From the beginning
of our national life we had been a deb
tor nation. Our railroads were built,
our resources developed and our fac
tories erected by the aid of money
borrowed from foreign investors.
ring the war period We paid up
N.s.ese debts amounting to billions OF
dollars and loaned other billions
abroad.
Let me say here that 1 will not
take the time or space to answer the
accusation made against Mr.. McAdoo
in last weeks paper regarding the
loan without paper to show for it"
Any American boy or girls who has
reached the age of twenty-one and
could be persuaded to believe such
ridiculous thing is not in normal mind
and there are too few in number to
waste time and space on at this par
ticular time.
We ceased to be debtor nation and
became a creditor nation almost over
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-11-03

Mr.. Hoover made a long list of
promises in 1928. He forgot them;
have you? During his entire term of
office, most particularly the first Is
months, he was President of the ia
vored few. Now at election time he
comes before us again with more
promises expecting US to forget the
past four years and give him an
other chance.
These able Republican Senators
mentioned in the article last week
are ridiculed in that article because
they had the courage to do as Abra-
ham Lincoln declared right. They
stood with the President when he was
right, but when they found him to
be wrong they parted from him, be-
cause to these great men (and some
truly great men are listed there) Mr..
Hoover has been and is wrong. For
honesty of purpose, courage of his
convictions, plus being champion
of the peoples rights, Senator Norris
stands head and shoulders above our
President, Mr.. Hoover.
Now let's look at Mr.. Roosevelt's
record of extravaganza as quoted last
week. 1t is fortunate that the Dem
ocratic candidate has a public record
also by which he can be judged. AS
Governor of New York, Franklin D.
Roosevelt's plan for States develop
ment of the hydro-electric power on
the st. Lawrence stands a bold af-
firmative of the peoples rights to
their natural resources. His old age
pension system is saving thousands OF
men and women from restitution and
beggary. He put teeth in the Public
Service Commission law, bringing
public utilities under real control
His labor laws compare with the best
in the country. He has placed his
State an a firm business pasis, relat-
ing out-go to income, and by persist
ent effort he is bringing about re.
forms in the useless extravaganza OF
town and county government.
In 1881, while the National admin
istration still denied unemployment
Governor Roosevelt stood for $20,.
100000 fund raised by a fifty pei
cent increase in income taxes. The
money being used for sweeping pub.
lie works program with jobs distrib-
uted on a five-day basis.
In connection with farm relief, he
has done a good job of trail blazing
His tax equalization plan saved the
farmers of New York more than $751;.
100000 the first year, and a soil sur
vey of the State not only had value
as a guide to crop programs but re-
vealed one million acres unfit fol-
farming. This was withdrawn from
agriculture and planted in trees.
His handling of the Jimmy Walker
case forever clears him of any con-
nection with the powers of Tammany
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1932-11-03

He carried out this splendid program
in spite of being handicapped by
Republican Senate and Assembly,
which tried to block his every turn
and of which conditions Mr. Hoover in
his administration complains and tries
to pass the buck. But Mr.. Roose-
welt, believing in his cause, always
legislating directly for the masses of
the people carried his cause directly
to the people with plain speech and
forceful purpose. He did not give an
inch and carried through to the end
everything he undertook.
No man ever was or will be big
enough to direct Americas vast af-
fairs all by himself. Mr.. Roosevelt
surrounds himself with the ablest and
best men obtainable, without regard to
party utilization.
And last, his reply to AL Smiths
criticism of him in his plea for the
forgotten man, 81 am quite frankly
one of those who have the deep con-
viction that there are fostering une-
qualities in our national life that
shame the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. l believe with all my heart
that Americas race is between refor-
nation and revolution"
He ha sthe courage and will to end
the selfish and destructive rule of priv
ilged classes.
He should be the logical choice of
the farmer, the laborer, the miner,
the small merchant, the white collared
man and all who belong to the great
common class of America.
Let us join hands, Republicans and
Democrats alike in Garrett county and
rise above party utilization and like
the great Republican Senator from
Nebraska realize and admit this is not
a Republican administration but an
administration for special privileges
for the favored few of which we have
no part, and from which we receive
no benefits
Let's say it at the ballot box in an
effective way next Tuesday.

night. Now a creditor nation must
get it's pay either in gold or in goods.
We held already, when the war ended
most of the worlds gold. Our only
hope of permanent prosperity was to
help the nations of Europe to regain
their productivity by the purchase of
their products. Under Harding and
Coolidge we did nothing in this direc-
ton, but with the coming of Mr..
Hoover Americans were expecting a
new kind of leadership. Instead of
that we got the Hawley- Smoot tariff.
Even under Coolidge this tariff
would have been a crime. Mr.. Cool
idge might have been forgiven on the
ground of limited experience and lack
of understanding. Mr.. Hoover cannot
claim the same allowance. He had no
such limitations. No man knew bet
ter the problem of reparations and
war debts. There was the golden OPP
portunity for him to have spoken
the word of leadership, which would
have put US in the forefront of the
economic life of the world. His sign
ing of the Hawley-Smoot tariff turned
the whole worlds thinking backward.
Nearly hundred leading economists
Joined in a public appeal against it
and his closest friends beseeched him
not to sign it.
The Hawley-Smoot bill was an aw-
full blunder. The next President must
undo it before we have any noticeable
economic recovery. Mr.. Hoover, even
now, refuses to acknowledge that it
was in error.
The trade of the world is bound and
gagged. No nation can be prosperous
until the gags and bonds are removed.
Then in the long list of accomplish
ments mentioned in the article last
week was the Farm Board. I ask you
Garrett county farmers to pass judg-
ment on the Farm Board. 1t is listed
by all, even the Presidents closest
friends and followers are an absolute
failure. And right here l would like
to tell the Garrett county farmer that
at the same time he was getting 30
cents a bushel for wheat the farmer
in France was getting dollar and
fifty cents for his wheat because the
French government takes care of it's
farmers.
Are we to charge our government
with lack of understanding or indif-
ference to the farmers needs?
Then when the Wickersham Com
mission report, containing long list
of sound recommendations was sent
to the President, he disapproved its
findings. The next day he insisted
he still had an open mind on the
question, which leaves US with an I'M
pleasant feeling that the President
either did not know or feared to speak
his mind, and so our confidence in his
courage was again shattered.

To The Voters of Garrett County, Md.

1t hardly seems necessary to rally
the forces of Garrett county to the
support of our lifelong friend, noble
champion of peoples rights-father OF
the parcel post and Workmen's Com
pensation Act, for reelection to Con
gress of the Sixth Congressional Dis
trict.
He is your friend and mine. He
labors untiringly for our interest. Let
US let him know how thoroughly we
appreciate his labor in our behalf by
giving him on November a sweeping
majority over the nice young man, Mr..
Smith, of whom we know so very
little. Mr.. Lewis has been tried in the
balance and found not wanting.
He will speak at McCullough's Hall,
Friendsville, Saturday, November 5th,
at 1880 o'clock. Let's give him rous-
ing welcome.

SCOOPS COLUMN
BY Scoop Himself


The number of pumpkin heads on
Tuesday morning must have been
quite numerous, and when l say
pumpkin heads, doh't mean exactly
pumpkin heads.
For the uniformed, a pumpkin
head is a head caused by various
y phases of Halloween. A very, very
, mild form of pumpkin head is caused
simply by taking part in the parade
and dance and not getting enough
sleep. From the mild form, the as
cent is gradual until we have the
pumpkin head which feels like bar
rel, the humping head, and the
whirling head. Then there is still
larger head, but the person having
this kind, rarely knows it. In fact
he doesn't know anything else either,
until he comes to, several hours
later.
In former years, the pumpkin heads
did not begin to appear until about
intermission. This year they ap-
peared quite early, and swelled quick
Iy, and long before intermission the
type five head was general.
And let it be understood that l do
not expect to wear long mustache
again-ever; especially the wavy
kind. Two delicious, oily, black hairs
got wrapped around my palate or
tonsils or something during the
parade, and the cough which followed
loosened my liver and appendiX-at
least.
l purposely postponed writing a
column or so until after the parade,
knowing that parades and Halloween
dances are mothers of ideas. But
the same idea of getting drunk
seems to prevail, and there's nothing
new in that. Pity the poor fellow
who thinks a stimulant is needed for
his brain in order to have good
time. Nice brains! Other than Civ
ing one a false sense of Importance
and splitting head, what have you?
But here l go getting all senti-
mental again, when maybe lot OF
YOU like your brew. Personally, 1t
tastes like soap to me, and l never
could get much enjoyment out of eat
ing soap, even the perfumed kind, or
lifebuoy.
After watching some scenes at the
dance, l have invented an idea which
will prevent people from hanging
around ones neck, especially when
said neck is not in the clutches of
-~,nes partner. Ask Archibaldson, ct
"a. i.
Anyway, place woman who has
grabbed your neck in contraption pic
tured below. Have assistant close
door and light fire, being sure that
she is, on inside and you on outside.
Soon she will either become drowsy
from heat, or excited. If it's the
former, hands will unlaX and the de-
PENDANT is saved. If she becomes eX-
cited, however, fingers will tighten on
ones neck, and then see where you
are by heck. But it's worth trying.
This way there's one Of two chances
you will get free, and there's no es-
cape the other way. They hang on
until they drop, and for the old seas
oned warriors it takes long, long
time to drop.

In its petition the company charged
that both the Treasury Department and
the controller general had refused the

The first asks $52361 for extra costs
Of having to pay demurrage, storage,
haulage and other charges on struc-

brought about, 1t Is explained, because
of extra work on the foundation which

unexpected subfoundation conditions,
but did not pay for the extra costs in

The rest of the claim, $40, ,220.41, was

HIGHER AUTHORITY
FOR ONE EXECUTIVE
SOUGHT BY GRANT
D. c. Government ReOrgani-
zation Urged Before Senate
Economy Committee.
CONCENTRATION OF LAND
PURCHASES ALSO ASKED
Other Savings Suggested by Public
Building and Public Parks
Director.

REORGANIZATION of the District gov
ernment by placing more authority in
one executive was suggested to the spe-
cial Senate Economy Committee by
Lieut.. Col U. S. Grant, Sd, director OF
public buildings and public parks.
Other Recommendations.
Other recommendations of local in
terest made by Col. Grant were: Con-
centration of all land purchases in the
City of Washington in one office, the
mapping out of budget for not less
than five years ahead. in accordance
with which appropriations would be
made; concentration of all automobile
transportation in Washington, except
for the Post Office Department, War
Department, Bureau of Mines and Dis
trict government, into two central
garages, with all major repairs to be
made in the Bureau of Mines shop;
authority to use teXicabs, with tickets
issued by the chief clerk of depart
ment or bureau for official trips, under
contracts to be made with the cab COM
panies.
In connection with the last recon-
nendation, Col. Grant said, prices OF
cabs in Washington are now so low
that material savings can probably be
made in this way"
New Economies.
Under the heading of New Econo-
mics, District of Columbia" Col. Grants
report to the committee suggested:
Requirement of budget for not less
than five years ahead, in accordance with
which appropriations would be made.
This has been successful in other cities
and should relieve pressure now brought
on Congress every year to give priority
to projects that are really not Of first
urgency. It would also permit better
scheduling and handling of work by
giving some assurance in advance of
how funds are likely to be distributed
the following year.
'In spite of the fact that the city
government here is honest, frugal and
well administered as compared with
most other American cities, reorganiZa-
ticn Of the District of Columbia Govern
nent, particularly by concentrating
more executive authority and RESPONSE
bility in one person, promises substan-
tial economies. However, the measures
by which this can best be dcAe, without
too Violently upsetting the work of the
past, would require longer discussion
than seems appropriate here"
Praises Commissioners.
Discussing his recommendations to-
day, Col. Grant said he had the high
est regard for the present Board Of
Commissioners and emphasized that
in his report he was referring in an
impersonal way to the question of form

the suggestion that more authority be
centered in one person, he said he had
in mind the general idea of a single

idea has taken the form of city man.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE
DATES FACE CHANGE
Abolition Of lame Duck Sessions
Will Necessitate Passing
of New Law.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The meeting dates OF the Electoral
College and the counting Of its votes
by Congress will have to be changed by
law If SO States ratify the amendment
abolishing the lame duck" sessions and
changing the date of Inauguration OF
the President and Vice President.
The Electoral College, under existing
law, meets on the first Wednesday in
January following the quadrennial cleo
tions and Congress polls the votes in
joint session on the second Wednesday
in February.
These dates may have to be changed
before the 1884 elections, because II
states already have ratified the So
called "lame duck" amendment. More
than 40 State Legislatures meet in 1888
and final ratification appears conclu-
sive.
The amendment fixes the convening
of the new Congress for January 8
following the November elections, and
the Inauguration of the new President
and Vice President on January 20. II
the Electoral College law should remain
unchanged. the newly elected Chief
Executive would take office before Con-
gress officially declares him elected.
And that would hardly do.
