"money-changer" and a slave
driver before him.
When the elder Roosevelt died.
he left an estate of more than
$40, 900. 900, and not one cent OF
that money was made in the
United States" Mr.. Bankett told
his listeners. All that money
was made in China and it was
made for him by Cinnamon. little
better than slaves, who were paid
cents a day for their back
breaking labor. Is it any wonder.
then, that the President is what
he iS?"
DRESIDENT ROOSEVELT, he
l. insisted, never was anything
more than Tammany politician
the caliber of Farley and Jimmy
Walker, adding that before his
election as Governor of New York,
the President had engaged in
only three actual business enter
priSeS in his career"
The first of these, he declared.
was to sell millions of dollars
worth of now valuelesS German
marks to the American people at
the height of the German post
var initiation.
Mr.. Roosevelt's second accom-
pliShment in the field of interna-
tional business, he continued, was
to unload on the American public
the worthless bonds of Latin
American countries.
After this great humanitarian
had gotten rich at the expense OF
the American people. he was en-
gagged in the business of selling
gambling devices and slot ma
chimes" Mr.. Bankett said. That,
my friends, is the man who would
lead the American people on the
road to Moscow"
When asked by an indianapolis
Times reporter what proof ne had
for these allegations, Mr.. Bankett
replied:
why everybody knows all that.
I read it in the Chicago Tribune"
DELBERT o. WILMETH, con-
~ gressional candidate then
arrived and took the floor to de-
clare that lack of confidence in the
President was leading the country
even deeper into depression. He
also asserted that he was in favor,
among other things, of more polit-
ical meetings in voters homes.
When Mr.. Wilmeth had depart
ed, the floor again was turned
over to Negro orators who urged
support of the Coffin nominees be-
cause of the Republican party's
excellent record in the conduct Of
the Civil war and the period of
reconstruction.
Judge Pritchard had not put in
an appearance at 1920 and his
audience still was waiting patient
ly, but whether it was for the
judge or for the announcement
that Abraham Lincoln had signed
the Emancipation Proclamation,
it was difficult to say.

The formal program for today's
session called for addresses by inter-
national visitors in denounclng
Nazism and Fascism. to both OF
which President Green and his as
sociates have indicated their IN
alterable opposition.
The latter issue will be fought on
the floor today when the commit

on the executive council order re-
Installing the carpenters, electricians
and bricklavers internatiOnalS into
the building trades group and order
ing a new election of departmental
officers.
Council Change Proposed
The building trades dispute is one
involving only a section, although
powerful one, of the labor fedora
ton. But the debate between craft
vs.. industrial unions was one which
is reaching deeply into the fOunda-
ton stones on which the late Sam
uel A. Gompers built the mighty
organization known as the Amer
lean Federation of Labor.
With IT is interlOcked, through
Mr.. Lewis dynamic pressure, the
proposal to enlarge the executive
council from its present limit OF
eleven members, three eX-officio.
into a larger, more aggressive group
of twenty-eight, three ex-ofiicio.
Both proposals may reach the floor
almost simultaneously as the reso-

Langmades nomination was Sec

Stuart, taking the gavel as soon
as the roll-call electing him had
been completed, asserted his accus-

than himself. "I will say no more
about it,, he declared, because 1t
is worth no more.

elected county chairman by the
Maricopa convention last Friday,
Stuart demanded:

rights before property rights.
Elected BY Acclamation
Opposition to acceptance of the
resignation of Mrs. Greenway as
national conmitteewoman, voiced
by Larry Williams Of the Coconino
county delegation, precipitated a
roll-call, after Mrs Leeper of Phoc-
nix had presented the motion along
with the nominating of Mrs. Sam
uel White of Phoenix for the post.
The vote was 1886 to so for accept
ance. Santa Cruz county voted as
unit not to accept the resignation.
"It is not that we are not good
friends of Mrs. Greenway'', Mrs.
Lceper said, in asking election of
Mrs. White, "but she will be away
in Washington and we need ma
tional committeewoman here. She
presented Mrs. White as "Maricopa
county's choice for national COM
mitteewoman". Seconded by Chair
man Flynn of the Cochise delega-
ton, Mrs. Whites election was by
acclamation.
Writ Bowman, Democratic ma
tional committeeman, unable to be
present, sent letter express ng
wishes for "a united and successful
Democracy for the coming elec-
tionS".
Bowman took occasion to deny
any rumors that he was or would
be connected with any move toward
an independent candidate.
"I will not be induced to oppose
Governor Moeur', he wrote. "I
will exert myself in every possible
way to elect all the Democrats
nominated on September 11'.

"Great Blessings

QOOSEVELT's Secretary of Agriculture
~ Wallace sees great blessings in the
drought which is gripping 25,0OO,OO0
people in its clutches
What is the blessing Mr.. Wallace sees
in the devastation of the drought? The
drought, it appears, has completed what
the Roosevelt A. a. A farm program set out to
do-to destroy SURPRISES
The country admits Wallace, is now without
any reserve of corn, wheat, milk or cotton.
This means rising prices in the cities, ruin and
disaster for the millions of small farmers who have
no produce for the markets and on orgy of profit
eering loot for the rich farmers who could afford
to store crops and the commodity spectators in
Wall Street and Chicago.
Wallace defends the A. A. A., saying that if not
for the A. A A. destruction of hogs last season
there would not now be a supply of badly needed
corn.
What insolent and stupid sophistry this isl For
it was none other than Mr.. Wallace and his agents
who are responsible for the destruction of SO per
cent of the last years corn crop through govern
ment agreements!
WALLACE is striving desperately to conceal from
the drought-stricken farmers that it is the
Roosevelt A. A. A. which has left them helpless
He is striving to hide the bitter truth that the
A. A A. insanity of destruction has strengthened
the position of the big landlords and Wall Street
monopoies at the expense of the majority of i'm
poverished small farmers.
THE drought only finished what the A. A. A. be-
Agan Wallace reaffirms the Roosevelt policy of
crop destruction the policy which has brought ruin
to the small producers and agricultural tenants and
subsidies and profits to only the handful of Weather
farmers
The masses in the cities need food milk, bread
The millions of toiling farmers ready to pro-
duce it for them. But both the toiling farmers and
the city workers are robbed and exploited by the
Wall Street monopolie$ in between.
Wallace is an agent Of Wall Street and the big
landlords. His main interest is profit for the
monopoles and rich farmers The mortgage-rdden,
drought-stricken farmers have in Rooseyelts agent
Wallace, capitalist enemy
Against him and his Roosevelt program of GRIM
inal crop destruction, the workers and impoverished
farmers must form fighting alliance of struggle.
