REPLY TO CRITICS

BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

The Roosevelt administration, In al
least one part Of the country-ths
Northwest-has begun to use the
money of the taxpayers generally to
pay for the distribution of political
propaganda through agencies which
were set up for emergency relief pur-
poses.
Under the signature of Miles ROM
ney, State director for Montana II
the National Emergency Council, there
has been sent out under date Of Cc-
tober 4, 1885, in "franked" envelopes
addressed to Federal employees and
to those receiving benefits under the
Roosevelt administration, state.
ment Of purely partisan character.
The statement refers to the speeches
Of former President Hoover and Sec
retary Roper on Constitution day and
enters into defense of the adminis-
tratlons attitude toward alleged un-
constitutional legislation. 1t then dis
cusses acts of Congress from a Demo-
cratic and Republican standpoint and
endeaVors to show that the Republi-
cans were much worse than the DEM

The members of Congress frequently
use the frank to send out political

The administration in power would
have a tremendous advantage over the
opposite political party by using the

with the Democrats turning over the

1nS Omclal INSIDE tale ABOUT tne
innocent conspiracies Of fate might
hold together better if it were not
for one point. There was no need
for the A. A. A. crowd to dash over
to the White House with a prediction
statement for the Presidents sigma
ture if they were going to win by
such big margin.
You might be able to get the
real inside story il you could look
into the confidential reports re-
ceiued by A. A. A. heddquarers
from out in the farm fields prior
to the poting. You might find
there a more credible explanation
in tew suggestions that some of
the farmers Were raging. not
against Mr.. Roosevelt or pdrticu-
larry against the corn-hog pro-
gram, but decidedly against some
OF the men chosen by the A. A. A.
to administer it.
Also you might find there a mite
of farm rage about favoritism ano
unfairness in the complex local ad-
ministration.
Such reports would explain ade-
quately why the A. A. A. boys would
want the President to issue personal
statement indirectly disavowing such
things and promising simpliflcation OF
administration as he did.
Survey Casts New Light.
II the A. A. A. field reports are
frank they will contain something
along the line of a confidential survey
recently made by Roosevelt investi-
gator from Rocky Mountain State
1t was his conclusion that if Mr.
Roosevent was slipping any in the
farm regions it was solely because OF
the greedy, selfish, arrogant misuse
of power by those entrusted with the
administration of committees and
commissions set up by the national ad-
ministration at Washington"
Following are excerpts rejecting his
studied analysis:
I'm this State the director of the
Extension Service is an active candi-
date for the nomination for governor
"The farm organization ,Das once
under leadership of real master
farmer. Today the picture
presented is that OF a dead local,
dying county and top-heaUy
State organization, receiuing sub
stance from the cooperative dis
poSal organization OF the State.
This latter is the only helpful or
ganization that farmers haUe, and
it deducts enough from the income
OF farm, members to keep aliue q
State agricultural organization.
There are meetings of farmers,
called by the farm organization. at
which few farmers are to be found
and none is permitted to speak. The
few who do attend are crowded into
the back seats and listen to the presi-
dents of busted banks, extension
workers, college professors from home
and abroad, home demonstrators,
music masters and piano tuners, who
head farm relief agencies.
THE farm agencies have been taken
over by men who have never raised
anything but their hats"
