DICKINSON CALLS
ROOSEVELT ISSUE
Potential G. O. P. Candidate
Says Record Set in Be-
trayed Pledges.
By the Associated Press.

by the Associated PreSS.
CINCINNATI, August 24.-United
States Senator Lester j. Dickinson of
Iowa predicted tonight that President
Roosevelt would be the principal issue
Of the 1886 presidential campaign.
Mentioned as a potential Repub-
lican candidate, Senator Dickinson
told the Hamilton County Republican
Club at a dinner-rally that never in
the history Of the United States has
there been betrayal of solemnly
pledged principles or the subordinating
of a great party as has taken place
during the past two years under the
so-called New Deal"
His prepared address called Presi-
dent Roosevelt the central issue. It
criticized the Chief Executive for "a
perfectly amazing capacity to say one
thing and do the exact opposite" 1t
charged the administration with fail
ure to keep pledges to reduce govern
mental expenditures. balance the bud
get and remove government from the
field of private industry.
Recalling Roosevelt pledge for "a
sound currency to be preserved at all
hazards" the Senator said I'VE have
the hazards all right, but where is the
sound currency?"
Referring to the Presidents criticism
Of the Supreme Court, he said per
haps it is only natural that constitu-
tional safeguards should irritate am
bilious men who always reach out,
under guise Of emergency to gather
into their hands more and more au-
thority. Pressing national problems
can be solved. so they maintain, only
If a completely free hand is given
them"

Panama and the remaining Of the An
con Hospital for Maj. Gen. William
c. Gorgas.
France has erected at Colon
statue of De Lesseps, who first at
tempted construction of a canal at
the Isthmus. The enactment of this
bill makes it possible for us to pay
tribute to the man who had the
principal part in the direction of the
entire operation, who took over the
task on which others had failed and
in seven years carried the gigantic
task through to completion.
Honored by Presidents.
Four Presidents Of the United
States have honored Gen. Goethals-
Theodore Roosevelt under whom the
Panama Canal was started; William
Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, in
whose administration the Canal was
completed and Franklin D. Roosevelt,
who took a personal interest in the

Memorial Committee for their active
interest in pressing the measure in
the Senate and House, respectively.
