( THE NEW DEAL, POLITICALLY
 

! Nugget;
 Dear Sir: Now that. the men tai eyes of our citizens are fo- cused on the forthcoming elec- l tIions, it might not be amiss to br ng to the attention of the. peo- l pie of the Second Division. the significance of ~the comparatively recently coined phrase, "The New Deal"
 Little did the majority of those who cast their votes for Franklyn Roosevelt at the last elect On re Ialize the amazing spectacle they would be a witness to in the year tof 1883.
 Most of the voters and ourselv- 1 es of the Territory who have no presidential vote, harrassed on ali sides by the incessant, unceasing icry of the heads of the govern ment for money, more money in the form of taxes with which to ma ntain and carry On the costliest and most extravagant govern ment in the history of the world; lby the gradually acquired know ledge that government itself had been surruptitiously taken from the hands of the people where 1t constitut onally belonged :, and handed over to the crooked pol l1ticfan and the money changers. by the inordinate greed, averice and lust for power on the part lof those in high places, and their satellites. These were but a few lof the pa nfully acquired facts that caused vast portion of our people to go to the polls, gladly casting their vote for man who had gone amongst them preach Ing the doctrine of a New Deal.
 While at first the general con tception of this doctrine in govern ment was somewhat nebulous. it fhas gradually assumed form and

We have wit messed the dismissal from h'gh office in the councils of the Dem ocratic Party, of those who have sought to capitalize theirs sposi- tions and prestige as party lead CTS. We have read of the ass- stance openly rendered by the chairman of the National Demo- cratic Committee to Republican Senator Hiram Johnson of Calif- ornia in his recent reelection in- to the cabinet of the Democratic President of the United States, |of three Republicans.
 What, my friends, do these things portend? What does it mean to you? Does it not mean a new deal in fact, both in pol itics and government? Does it not mean that due to the we'll ordered mind, the -straight-think- ing, the high ideal and courageous soul of the head of the New Deal party, government is once again restored to the people where it r,ghtfully belongs?
 Does it not mean that the pol itical forces that insidiously creat- ed and abetted the system, by which millions of our fellow citi- zens were tossed about on the chess-board of Ife, pawns in game where all the high cards were held by the political dema- gogues and their oyerIords, the so called monied interests, are re-
