Morgan County Democrat. (McConnelsville, Ohio) 1886-1943, 1932-11-03

the ability to seize opportunities.
| Columbia recognizes these and she
will never submit to the demand OF
, radicals, whose doctrines Mr.. Mat
son unconsciously holsters when he
attacks the honest wealth of Roose-
velt, the demand that the stars and
stripes should withhold from merit
her just deserts, penalize genius,
and put a premium on inability and
sloth She will not harness race
horses with draught-horses nor re-
duce the speed of flying chariots of
progress to movement of lumber
carts. This would be unjust, and
men who ambition such attacks
on honest wealth, using it as means
to incite the poor and working
classes into voting against Franklin
d. Roosevelt, prove by their talk,
that they either do not understand
the elementary principles of Demo-
cratic government, or else they are
colossal fraud, and deserve the
condemnation of every fair minded
and right thinking person.
Mr.. Matson says he will not both
er answering any more of my ar
ticles. Well, everybody knows why.
That's not hard to see. He got a
little more than he expected when
he started his attack on the Demo.
cratic party, and he is retreatirg
under whitening fire, because he
knows he's whipped. | may say,
that Mr.. Durbin is very able to take
care of himself, journalistically
speaking. l don't see any stars
shining with extraordinary bril-
lance outside the Herald office.
Why pull Mr.. Durbin into it again2
The argument is between you AMI
me, NOT between Mr.. Durbin and
you? What business is it of yours
who sent me here? | wonder II all
this pitter patter of Mr.. Matson's
would be "stricken out from ang
court record upon motion?' As for
Mr.. Durbin meaning any insult to

to base your empty charge of hat

What harm is there in using a per-

spect there is in that is what You

the funny thing about it is, that ev-
erybody seems to take these things
in good humor and friendly spiri-,
except Mr. Matson. Even the people
involved take it all good naturedly
as these things are meant. Mr..
Matson says, the "half-truth' is
that Ray didn't give the correct
number Of Republicans in attend
ance at a rally one evening. How
idiotic such a reply to attempt TO
defend his charge. recall one
rally that Mr. Durbin had to make
an estimate as to attendance, and ]
think he was shortly about twenty
according to the Herald. | suppose
if someone asked Mr.. Matson how
many people were at the Demo-
cratic rally last summer, and he
told them about $500 people, and
upon actual count it was found that
there were 2550, suppose Mr.. Mar.
son would expect 10 call him a liar.

says they were forced to retaliate
against the Hawley-Smoot tariff.
Well, with all Roosevelt's riches,
and they are not over abundant, his
money is invested in American in
terests and enterprises which fur
nish WORK for the AMERICAN
workman, but I challenge Mr.. Mat
son to tell US where Mr.. Hoover's
millions are invested. Are they in
vested in the United States where
the American workman can find
some work through their opera
tions? No, Hoover's millions are

a single penny goes into the pocket
of ONE SINGLE AMERICAN

for being friend of the American
working man?
About Rooseyelts children not at
public school, | may ask Mr..
Matson where Hoovers children at
tended school. Did they attend the
public schools? Maybe you don't
know. Do you have to attend the
public schools to be an honest to
God American, if so that's an aw-
full indictment against some of the
finest schools in this country, which
are private and have certainly given
