Rest, Senator!

They can reflect that although Senator Mcclellan able
to block their leave bills HE WAS UNABLE TO DESTROY
THE FACT THAT THESE BILLS HAVE THE APPROVAL
OF VAST MAJORITY OF HIS COLLEAGUES
Passed by the House of Representatives with virtually no
opposition the bills will retain their present status the
calendar while Senator Mcclellan rests from his
arduous labors.
THEY WILL COME UP FOR ACTION WHEN SENATOR
MCCLELLAN AND THEIR ONE OR TWO OTHER OPPO-
NENTs IN THE SENATE FEEL REFRESHED ENOUGH
TO COME BACK TO WASHINGTON AND AGAIN AS
sUME THEIR BURDENS AS NATIONAL LEGISLATORS
At that time the Congress will be pressed with the
desire to get away from Washington.
It will presumably have the inclination and the DISPOSE
ton and the time give to these leave bills and to other
pending measures THE CONSIDERED JUDGMENT WHICH
HAS BEEN WOEFULLY LACKING IN THIS SESSION.
Under those conditions Senator Mcclellan will have to

arguments to the satisfaction of his fellow Senators he will

European states and since it has
become common throughout the
world.
The infantile paralysis vac
cine developed in New York by
Dr.. William H. Park and
Or. Maurice Brodie was used
towards the end of the Califor.
mia epidemic last year. OF it,
DR.. Parks says:
1--WE have something to look

We feel free to go ahead, and it
is a wise thing to do because
we have a vaccine, which IL

chief powers of State and local
government in Washington.
Another group Of radicals in
both houses would deprive the
Supreme Court of its power to
declare invalid an act of Con.
greSS which violates the rights
Of a private citizen or a sover.
eign State. The purpose of this
revolutionary proposal is to
make Congress the supreme
power in the land and every
citizen a subject of this despot-
ism.
This group of radicals is leav.
ing Washington to begin a coun.
trywide campaign to discredit
the Supreme Court of the United
States in particular and the
trainers of the Constitution in
general.
APPEAL TO IGNORANCE
This group will insult the in.
telligence of the plain people by
appealing to ignorance and
prejudice. This group Of radi-
Gals at heart believes that the
plain people lack the love Of
Liberty and the passion for Jus.
tice with which they were cred
tied by Washington, Madison,
Hamilton, Jefferson, Marshall
and the other founders and
fathers to whom we owe the
formation Of the American
Union, of which the Constitu-
ton is the cornerstone.
And, just as George Washing
ton predicted, these sappers are
offering "specious pretexts" for
the alterations by which they
seek to impair the energy of our
Constitutional system. The Spe-
cious pretext to which the radi-
Gals in the present Congress
stoop is that unless the Ameri-
can system Of Government is
Europeanized and a despotism
in the Congress is set up the
American people can never re-
cover their prosperity.
These radicals apparently
have such contempt for all
sorts and conditions of true
Americans as to believe that
there is no patriotism among
the plain people, no love Of lib
erty, no passion for justice, no
devotion to that more perfect
Union" which was the first OBJ
jective of the trainers of the
Constitution.
The sooner the radicals in
Congress carry their issue to
the people the better it will be
for the people. Now, as al
ways, they can be trusted to
choose between the advice and
counsel of American patriots
from George Washington to the
present and those radicals who
in the past, as in the present,
seek ito undermine what can.
not be directly overthrow"
In this fight to save the gov.
eminent of the Constitution.
Constitutional Democrats and
Constitutional Republicans will
hold the right of the line in the
years ahead. And the issue
now, as in the past, can be
safely left to the great jury
of the people"
