 We are entering into a dual caupaign--a campaign to elect our state ticket and also our national ticket. But while there may be two parts to it, i< IS essentially one campaign. While it is campaign be- tween the individuals seeking each office, fundamentally iti q conflict between these indi- l Wduals only as represented by the two major parties today noth in this state and in the nation.
 since the days of Alexan- der Hamilton, the republican pnrty and it's predecessors have Followed the theory that con- trol of government by a Him. lied number for their benefit &nd the benefit of the busi- nesses carried on by them would make them, and would ot hA cfv a< avrtaA ny them, rich and powerful. Because they prospered, and Hecause they were benevolent &1spots, their well-being would aft through to the mass of the Hoople, employed by them or dependent on them. In their View, no man can be interest t1d in good government, in the nood of the whole people, un- x4Es that good includes an ad- N4ntage to himself over all the
 sOn the other hand, the %mocratic party, since the

 When 1t did come, the re- I|ublican theory of government x0u1d not allow direct relief to {he people. That would be *dole'', and harmful to morale. 8ur republican leaders did not Xet realize, and indeed are now <1kain forgetting, the magnitude n the problem. The only z1caxure they devised was the {nfional Credit Corporation, no aid business and banking From the top, to hold together
