Exemplified Democratic Principles

Exemplified Democratic Principles
 Jefferson interpreted and exem- plified Democratic principles and government and laid the broad and staunch foundation for the coun- try He was properly described as the First American He translated his democratic concept as clearly and demonstrated them so conclus- ively that, in theory at least and in ordinary matters in practice, that Jeffersonism long ago became ac- cepted as American doctrine. In theory, at least, Clay, Lincoln, Gar field, Taft and Coolidge were Jeff fersonian just as were John Quin- cy Adams, Van Buren, Polk, Cass, Pierce, Cleveland, Al Smith and other great Democratic leaders.
 However, through the machina- tions of practical politics, special privilege had gradually got an un- fair advantage over the common people when Jackson came to power. Through his vigorous action he whipped special privilege from the seats of the mighty. While he never lost sight of Jeffersonism Democracy, he restored the Jeffer- son ideas of the rights of the mass es. His actions were so decisive. he adhered so closely to his purpose to rescue the forgotten man from ob- scurity and disadvantage that, like the case with President Franklin Roosevelt, he was called tyrant. usurper of power and accused of disregarding provisions of the Con- stitution.
 Parallels Roosevelt
 How this situation parallels the experience of Franklin Roosevelt.
 The circumstances that the Su- preme Court has voided some of the Roosevelt measures designed to re- store equality before the law, and equality in the intense rivalry of business and industry ought not to discourage us. It is not the first time in American history that the Supreme Court has voided meas ures or pronounced illegal executive actions intended to carry the coun- try through a crisis. The Supreme Court voided many important acts of the so called Reconstruction Period following the Vivil War
 At this point, the Governor recited the history of the famous jail deliv- cry amendment of that time and how 5000 men held in prisons for violation of military regulations were freed; how the Supreme Court in decisions rebuked the Republican leaders and completely upheld the Democratic position.
 ''It must be remembered that the Republican Party record in the Re- construction period was not a re- flection on Lincoln" he said. Long before the death of Lincoln he had been repudiated by his party lead CTS who later shaped the Recon struction policies. Thaddeus Stev- ems, the legislative dictator. when asked by Senator Ben Wade what the friends of Lincoln in the House would say about Reconstruc- ton proposals declared, Lincoln has no friends in the House.
 All's We'll
 As said in preliminary remarks. Democrats always elect Democratic tickets at Jackson Day banquets and Jefferson birthday dinners. But do not be afraid. The American people will re-elect Franklin Roose- welt, the great Jeffersonian and Jacksonian, next November. God is still in His Heaven, all's well with the country, and Roosevelt is at the helm with a secure place in the hearts of the American people"
 In an analytical and revealing address, John E. Pegues brought out that Alaska had not been overlooked by the Roosevelt Administration although it's problems were not as serious nor as grave as those of the rest of the country
 All Industry Helped
 General policies and laws appli- cable to the entire country have had the effect of reviving practically all lines of industry and particularly our mining operations" he said.
