Before we judge too hastily or condemn un-
fairly let US pause and examine few facts.
What were the circumstances which swept the
Democratic party into power in 1882? What was
the peoples mandate TO Franklin D. Roosevelt?
The issue in the minds OF the mass OF Am
erican voters was not the eighteenth amendment,
States rights individual initiative collectlvlsm,
nor individualsm. 1t is doubtful if the average
American voter understood these problems then
or does understand them now. The fact was
that afr nine years of Republican control in
Washington there had come the STOCK marKet
crash in November 1929. The depression had
started and it intensified with the passage OF
time When the people OF America, IN tnelf ms
fortune looked towards Washington for guild

When the people went TO the polls In 1857
and again in 1894 what did they want? They
did not want Hoover and his Lazy Fairy 'lalSser

their new president to do something, TO save
their homes. 10 give them jobs to protect their
savings, and TO guard them against the big
sharks.
The people sought in Franklin D. Roosevelt
a leader of a great nation and a guide. Has
he proved a leader? Has he fulfilled his peo-
pies trust? Let each individual answer for
himself Has he got a job? Is his home or farm
safe from foreclosure? Can he obtain cheap
credit for his business? Are his savings more
secure? Has he confidence in the future?

Convention Against

Amendment

Boston Mass, Aug. 2T.-(AP)-A
special committee reported to the
American Bar Association convention
today a recommendation to oppose
ratification of the Federal child labor
amendment and promote adoption of
a uniform labor law by states"
Immediately the possibility of dis
pute over the report arose. Several re-
solutions supporting the amendment
had been placed before the convention
for action. Two resolutions sought to
discharge the committee-headed by
James A. Simpson, of Alabama-and
reject it's report.
The committee said cit seems hard
ly to be wise" to proceed with rati-
fication of the amendment until the
people have an opportunity to pass
upon Federal employment control in
general
There has been noted in some parts
of the country some regeneration of
pressure and activity in favor of rati-
fication," the report said. 1.-TWO fac
tors may be primarily responsible,
therefore, first, the active part being
taken by the President Of the United
States and members Of his govern
ment, and, secondly, the fatuous hope
on the part of some of the unem-
ployed of lettering their chances of
getting a job by removing from en-
ployment any class of persons by any

SENATOR JAMES COUZENS of

Running for the Republican renom-

himself for President Roosevelt.
His statement is, like all his state
