over his veto. The @. o. p. .
we're on the towards roll Every
one Of them should be defeated
this fall. especially Pobinson, the
roaring bull o. the bunch
Further" declares Air. Craig
Robinson. Ike Watson, is not true
% Republican policies. Both have
made fools q themselves on the
World Court. This Is strictly a
Republican measure. It's author and
sponsor is Elhu Root. our nOblest
and greatest Republican. Il was
Endorsed by three Republican ad-
ministrati0ns
Yet" continues Mr.. Craig, LII
Arthur runs around GenounCing this
measure Just as IL he were bigger
than Elhu Root and the Republican
party Wei. Watson got his IN 1882
and Robinson viii get his IN No
vcmber
Long On Constitution"
Robinson" ne charges. "is long
on Constitution and liberty, but
people are thinking more about
their dinner pals now.
IN Indiana. the state convention,
following a resolution Of 1851, pro-
vides that no state money be used
for any purpose other than the
common schools. but IN violation Of
the Constitution millions are ap-
propriatcd for state schools for spe-
cial and higher training. Did Rob-
ins0n object 10 this when he was
IN our state senate?
And don't YOU remember when a
Republican legislature OF this state
passed the S. 20 $40 a day salary
grab bill and got a Republican su-
preme court 10 indOrse 1t by getting
the legislature TO pay them by rails
ing their salaries TO $4,000?
Robinson viii howl about the
waste Of the Roosevelt regime, and
Justly so. but Roosevelt is working
on a mess inherited from men like
Robinson.
Always Using Public Money
Robinson always has used public
money to promote his political am
bition. When in our state senate
he favored a resolution favoring
pension sop Tor U. S. postal en-
ployes." he charged.
Birds Of a feather flock to-
rether.t So in 1925 wnen Senator
Ralston died. Robinson got the APP
pointment through the dICtation'
of ID. c. Stephenson from Governor
Ed Jackson. the khan Governor, as
sisted by George Coffin and John l..
DuvaH and Clyde Walo. Duvall went
10 Jail. Walb went 10 the pen and
jackson missed the pen by the stat
ute Of limitations.
Think Of this kind Of a man try
ing 20 ill a place once occupied by
such famous men as Morton, Hen
bricks. Harrison. Mcdonald and
Fairbanks He was started by
Old steve now is sponsored by the
clown KingfSh Huey Long. He has
no standing in congress. A promi-
nent Republican senator said Rob-
inson belongs to the sons OF Jack
asses Of the plains. Washington
correspondents say when Robinson
is beaten he viii be the least missed
Of any member Of the senate.
Opposes Much of New Deal
Whom do you prefer, a spend
thrift or a practical economist oe-
clared Mr.. Craig as he hkened
Robinson to "spendthrift" and
Minton to a practical economist.
Mr.. Craig says that he IS not
"enamoured Of the New Deal
While am opposed 10 much OF
the New Deal. ! certainly am
opposed TO the Old Deal he says.
He charges that President RooSe-
welt is making the same mistake as
President Hoover when he pleaded
for the continuance of high salaries
and wages and the high standard OF
living enjoyed by a special few
Now We have lot Of officials
drawing fat salaries and union labor
creating almost a revolution 10 re-
store the wartime wages, he
charges.
