The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-11-02

 son to change his Views"
 MT. Upsons attitude is to oppose everything that any Democrat ever does. Most particularly he is opposed to "boondoggling." Boondoggling, as privilege mongers by surrounding himself with men who knew their economics and had no previous poe litical afilliations.
 These so.called brain trusters owed no political debts and were 0 force that was too much for the nice people to penetrate. To inaugu. rate and maintain such . position in the face of the pressure from what Is perhaps the most powerful groups the world has ever assembled required statesmanship and cour- age.
 This position in effect was to re- lease tho real government from the most powerful invisible government the world has ever known and to place the real government nearer to the people than 1t has been since the days of Jefferson.
 Yes, he promised us . New Deal and for the first time in years we saw c leader in tho White House who had the courage and ability to promote and maintain such . po- sition.
 For the first time in our history we find the politicians, lobbyists and all other forces aligned with tho vested interests stymied and on the outside looking In.
 The sign was out "No Specia Privileges for sale." And 1t meant just that. This must make it oh. vious to all thinking people tha' the real issue of this campaign 4 not just another battle between the two major parties but ts rather an Issue between the peoples gov ernment under Roosevelt and the invisible government of Hearst ana tho vested interests who would like to return to power through the election of Landon.
 Every workingman or woman who does any thinking must realize that their interests and those of big inc terests are at opposite poles ana what we want the vested interests do not want. Also what they want we do not want, therefore If they want to return to the three P'S privilege, patronge and profit, un- der Landon, we workers want none of Landon.
 If these are not the facts why have the DuPonts and others spent such enormous sums trying to elect Landon9
 If they are still not the facts. why are the old school politicians of the horse.car days who were brought up on the diet of privilege, patronage and profit 50 bitter In their attacks on the New DealH Why do such men as Al smith, Hey and others of their type take the attitude of beat Roosevelt at any price? If you don't think there has been Q New Deal just listen to those boys squawk. Roosevelt not only gave us Q New Deal, he also ushered In Q new ere for political development.
 If we take pattern from his lead- ersh!p, in the future, we will de- mand those seeking once will Dc schooled and well versed In tho me" chanics of government and eco' monies.
 The old school politics of patron age, privilege and profit are on their way out like the horse cars of their early days and # they car,- not qualify themselves to ehe new order 1t will be just too bad for them.
 When this great leadership will have worked down through our states and municipalities and the resultant fruits of more efficiency, justice and Q new awakening to our potential powers shall have flow- cd from 1t. We will perhaps then recognize in MT. Roosevelt one of the greatest statesmen Of modern times.
 Tn conclusion, let me say that to finish the job of realignment that he has started Is one of major pro. portions and so far as I can see there has no other statesman ape peared on the political horizon that can qualify to complete 1t. 5o' workers, when you go to vote to- morrow remember these facts.
 Landon cannot balance the bud' get at this time only at the expense of human suffering. He can not put our unemployed back to work only through another NRA or it's equiva- lent. He has told us many things that he will do but not once has ne told US how he will do them.
 These are the facts and expect no false promises to take their place and use your vote accordingly.
 It is your passport to . bigger and better future, don't misplace 1t.
 These are my views as . work ing man and not as . politician or democrat and you can take them or leave them for what they are worth.
 Respectfully.
 Yours for Roosevelt,
