You and
know that bust ~
ness always re-
covers after de- Lewis Nancy
pressions. Can you remember any
time that it did not?
We know that business has i'm
proved in all other countries
without any New Deal.
The plain fact is that business
recovery in the United States since
1929 has been both later and
slower than in other similar coun-
tries.
I can recall no case In which
there was ever so much unemploy-
ment at a time seven years after
a big crash such as that of 1929.
Can you?
A great many people are going
to say:
Things are picking up at last,
and I have some money again.
Let's get back to a sound eco
nOmic basis, so we can keep what
we have"
Maybe some Of these wild ex-
perimentS were o. K. in the emer-
gency. Now we want peace and
certainty. Under Roosevelt, no
body can be sure. He refuses to
tell his plans. All we know is
that he keeps talking about fight
ing" stirring up hatred" and
tinkering with our dollar.
Second, those who bet on RooSe-
welt say that the New Deal political
organization is stronger.
Thanks to Farley and his Tam
many methods, that is probably
true.
But that isn't the sort of thing
that sways the votes Of thinking
Americans.
In fact, what Roosevelt has done
to American politics is going to
lose him more votes than he gets.
1t is lasting national disgrace.
Third, they say that local po-
itical machines in most cities are
herding voters.
Well, are we sheep, then? Has
American politics come to the
point that herds" of thoughtleSS
or dishonest voters" can sway
national elections?
Has Roosevelt succeeded in
Tammanyizing the nation?
Fourth, a Washington forecast
says that negroes have been swung
over to Roosevelt, and adds that
the New Deal campaign has more
money and more man power,
PROVIDED BY TAXES" than
the Republicans.
Does that make a hit with you?
What do you think of a Presi-
dent who talks about "the money
power" and all that sort of stuff.
and then takes our tax money to
get himself reelected?
I doubt if self-reSpecting negro
voters will fall so low.
Fifth, they say that RooSevelt's
speeches are gems of emotional
appeal" and will influence men
more than logic.
With this statement, I cannot
agree at all. Maybe it is because
I come from Illinois. Anyhow, ]
know that Roosevelt does not
know how to talk our language,
and that his stuff does not ring
true.
Two things generally spoil his
"gems of emotional appeal"
One is his ego-he is always tell:
ing us what "I'' have done and
promising "I' will do. (That
goes big in Italy and Germany
The other is his appeal to class
hatreds. Think of it! A Presi
dent of the United States address
ing the nation and saying words
that clearly imply his knowledge
that many of his fellow citizens
"are unanimous in their hate OF
me-and I welcome their hatred u
Roosevelt said that Saturday
night.
He welcomes hatred!
Is that attitude worthy Of q
President?
And he added these words:
II should like to have it said
Of MY second Administration
that in it these forces Those
who hate mel met their MAS
TER"
Listen, folks: Are we voting for
good hater and a "master?'
Or are we going to vote for a
good friend and a public servant
II these are the reasons for
forecasting possible New Deal
majority, am voting for Ian,
don.
