Government by Caprice

parry, ! ACCePClng
the Vice Presidential nomination at Chicago preers
ernmen guided by the Constitution to government guided
only by caprice"
That is correct
But the Republican party not the only party that
prefers constitutional to caPrcious goOeTn
n1ent.
The Democratic party prefers it, too.
And by the Democratic party, mean the Demo
cratic party, NOT the Roosevelt party.
We mean the party of Thomas Jefferson, of Andrew
Jackson, of GroVer Cleveland of Woodrow Wison-the
party of Carter Glass and Neton Baker and AL Smith,
We do not the party of Felix Fr0nkfurter, and
Rexford TuguUeU, and Franklin DearO Roosevelt
That is not the Democratic party.
It is Europeanized colecvist party which has stolen
the Democratic and is masqueradng under the Demo
cratic label
In fact nearly every party the United States except
Roosevelt party and the Communist party prefers govern
guided by the Constitution to government guided only
by caprice"
And why not?
The Constitution be changed. It has been changed
score of It will be changed in future. The very
who wrote provided the methods Of changing it.
But party except the Roosevelt party and the Communist
party wants dcatorhip-and that what by
caprice instead by the Constitution
When chief executive DISREGARDs the Constitution or
defes the Constitution he commits DICTATORIAL act.
His caprces rule Whether they good bad, they
dictatorship NOT democracy.
For three long years, there has been caprice after
caprice in Washington.
The caprice of plOtOing under crops and killing pigs
The caprice of turning home markets to foreign
farmers.
The caprice of spending Federal funds tapdancng
Red theOters propaganda moUies steam heated
dog-pOunds and n1OderniStic monkey-hOuSes
The caprice of holding the Supreme Court
and ridicule.
The caprice of clipping forty cents from dollar
The caprice of keeping millions of Americans
charity disguised relief instead of encouraging in
dustry to giUe them real jobs at real uVages.
The caprice of raising the cost of nearly everything
that the American people ea-except fish, Uhch
the Brain Trust can't plOW under
The croWnng caprice of QuOddy
But there is need to pursue the list of capces further
These but few There thousands indeed millions,
of others that could be cited.
And the bill by this caprice government in these
last THREE AND A HALF YEARS of history is more
HUNDRED AND TWENTY-FIVE YEARS of history.
This and children and grandchildren will pay
Small wonder therefore, that every intelligent American
has kened of caprice government and that constu
onal which the fathers of the Republic founded
and which every President has respected and UP
HELD.

LEGISLATURE NOT
VERY UNANIMOUS
CONTINUED from Page ~
Chips On Shoulders

There were chips on shoulders TO-
day as legislators, summoned into
special session by Gov. Cross, met
to fine-comb O proposed state un-
employment compensation law TO
conform with provisions Of the fed.
erai social security act.
Dragged through tho final stageS
OF the election campaign, the meas.
ure providing for an assessment
against wages Of employees, drew the
bitter fire OF republicans, holding On
overwhelming house majority.
It appeared destined for weeks OF
committee hearings and floor debate
and there was some doubt as TO
what enthusiasm Il would arouse
In the democratic -controlled senate,
where three socialist will Sit Cor the
last time.
As IL now stands the bill calls for
IN assessment OF one per cent on
employees wages.
q. O. r. Cry Raise
Tho cry Of constitutionality was
raised by the republican leadership.
Senate Leader j. Kenneth Bradley,
r., Westport, led, the assault on the
bill and declared oil funds assessed

legality Of the social security act.

ment compensation measure lib

governors special message was read.
and O recess OF the senate and
house while public hearings were
held by the Judiciary committee.
Labor definitely was aligned
against the measure In Its present
form. Socialists were expected to
propose amendments, and an entire
revamping was believed possible be-
fore the bill was put to q vote.
Observers felt the overwhelming
democratic election victory would
bring little change In sentiment OF
the parties and the best that could
be hoped for was compromise
measure which would safeguard the
states contributions to the federal
fund In event the social security act
was ruled against by the supreme
court.
Gov. Cross Inslstent
Gov. Cross was insistent that the
session confine itself to the two
purposes for which &c was called,
and not engage In any other con-
troversial issues which might pro-
long the assembly until the first Of
the year. It was expected his re-
quest would be recognized inasmuch
as republicans, losing one senate
seat In an 18th district special
election Tuesday. were prevented
from repeating the republican-so-
cialist coalition in the upper branch
In 1885. ANY bill. passed by the re-
publican house and rejected by the
democratic senate would be referred
to COMMITTEES which, under the pres
emit setup. would amount to discard.
Meanwhile, the legislature will
stand in adjournment until Nov. so
when It will reconvene to hear tn.
committees recommendation.
