The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1935-11-28

where was all wet, now! VI course
you made some mistakes-we all do
but you never did half the damage
in your four years as President that
this hog slaughtering group has done
in eight months. They have slaugh-
tered the innocents, plowed up the
cotton, given the eX-soldiers' pensions
to the sapling settlers, processed the
wheat, corn and hogs, raised the price
of food and clothing, snapped tobacco
with Russia, increased the national
debt-and to cap it off, repealed the
18th amendment-in order that we
may "drink ourselves back to pros
perity!" The slogan now is eve must
do our partw If we don't, we are
termed a Stacker! We must buy booze,
drink it, rub it in and pour it on!
Teachers, preachers, lawyers, doc
tors, sinners, Christians-and every
body else has a right to get walleyed
if they want ton fact, they're sup
posed to put "The New Deal over
property" "Ace" Farley flew all
over the country preaching "booze
and prosperity"
Being soft-helled Democrat, 1
have a right to. skin 'em if they get
out of line, and that's what they've
done. 1 believe in right, no matter
whose hide is split-and when they
can convince me that prosperity will
be resurrected in any such hare
Drained methods, then I'll believe there
is Santa Claus. The New Deap has
backfred on the common herd-but
"Dr. johnson" is standing by with his
needle to give it another shot in the
arm if it doesn't revive promptly!
The serum is little costly to the tax
payers, but maybe the old nag can be
pulled through for another race.
l voted for you, Mr.. Hoover, be-
cause you kept the lid on prohibition
but I turned right around and denied
it when you did things that didn't suit
me exactly. That's human nature, you
know.
l admit 1 got sore as the dickens
when you vetoed the Bonus Bill and
allowed the Bonus Army to be elected
from Washington by force, instead of
assisting them. You treated the ex-
soldier white compared to what your
successor has done. All he's interested
in is CODES" and having saplings
everywhere The Lord would have
done that had He wanted saplings to
grow in these spots.
But the New Deal, Mr.. Hoover, is
trying to balance the budget by taking
the ex-soldiers' pensions and giving
them to the big, healthy, robust three
c boys" If that isn't robbing Peter to
pay Paul, then Pm a star spangled
fool!
Yes, Mr.. Hoover, it's one grand mer-
ry-go-round in Washington now!
"Field Marshal johnson" is beating
the big drum with the big stick and the
others are marking time to the music!
What he says goes. He has worked out
"code" governing practically every
+hi0~ but boil weevil and babies. He
has put tise ogfnh
has put the sign of The Passover in
every window. The farmers gravy is
getting thinner and thinner and
there's so many bay windows in the
seat Of his pants that he doesn't know
which way to face the audience. Most
people have ceased to ask grace at
the table, for there isn't anything to
call the Lords attention to! Wonder
full, isn't it?
Of course, you know this compress
sion" hit us on the rear bumper while
you were President, so naturally you
got the blame-but wouldn't this or
gained Brain Trust" that is trying
to straighten things out, put a perma-
nent wave in a wooden Indian ? People
growled at unemployment and low
wages when you were President, but
we still have the same thing-and the
prices of food and cothing have gone
