The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-07-07

AAGkAy &kKAVG8s Fl AtS A0SW vAAtSv VAA9 giant financial, business, and in- dustrial interests for which the Old Guard fronted for years are going to kick In with campaign contributions and get nothing in return for their generosity is just 50 much hopscotch. Any time big business, which Is out for Presi- dent Roosevelt's gore, pays out Q penny it demands Q dollar in re- turn and gets 6 pound of flesh to boot.
 His Brothers Hat
 There is an old vaudeville rou- tine about two fnaShers meeting beautiful girl on tho street and one of the lady-killers lifting his hat to her. Whats the big idea tipping your hat to that girl2" complains the non-tipper. "You don't know her." That's all right, explains the other. "ft's my brothers hat. He knows her" The boosters for MT. Hearst'S nominee, Gov. Landon, may say tho Kansan Is tipping his own hat to Miss Presidency but the coun- try knows !t is the old Guards lid. So, aiso, does the Old Guard.

 Must Stop!
 The IN on .partisa n" fight against President Roosevelt,s re- election has been opened by the duPont's Liberty League with . blast at Democratic National Chairman Farley. Just how the word "non-partisan" applies to the Presidents haterS is . problem for etymologists to solve. Tn the du- Pont Liberty League dictionary anyone and everyone who can be induced to vote against the Presi- dent is Q n-partisat1 and those who vote for him are partisans of the lowest order to whom the we'll being of the country means less than nothing. Be that as 1t may, it appears that MT. Farley has been blackguarding, libelling, and bearing false witness against the League, the Leaguers are jolly well fed up with being slandered, and 8 stop Is going to be put to it. Just how the stop Is to be put and who is to do the stopping remains un- announced. In the speech deliv- cred at the opening session of the Democratic national convention Mir. Farley informed the delegates, alternates, and spectators that
 "Behlnd the Republican ticket is the crew of the duPont Llb- erty League and their allies, which have so far financed every under.cover agency that has dlsgraced American politics with their appeals to race pre-. jndice, religious intolerance and personalities go gross that they had tO be Fepudlated by the regular Republican organization. They will continue to disOwn these snahy assaults--and to seek to profit by them" Goat Getting
 For some months prior to the convention Mir. Farley had been making oratorical passes at the Leagues goat but that animal, aside from straining at the rope remained tethered. The Philadel- ' phia crack However, snapped the rope and the goat is now running around loose seeking stone walls against which to butt its head. Witness the comeback of the League ct Kzr. Fariey's description of itself and It's actlvitics:--
 A6ucia faise and deeamatOry language gees beyond the limit oR seEg.gespect and cannot re main wnnoaIced. KE is incredible that any man, nc matter what hls background, occupying high 0egleinE position would iza any cir- euTnaannce make smch represek- satlem without convincing evl- Aence. The American Liberty League challenges Mfr. Fariey t0 proAuce concrete evidence in support of his statement thae the League has elnaneea' any undeF~cevsE agency that has els- eEaeea American politics with shelr appeals e race prejudice, religious intelegance, etc.
 
 Asking For It
 Tho Lcague's decision that it is high tlEne to do solneihlng about AgT. Earley's larruplne pFocllviEies is most colninendahle although somewhat heiated. So they scan~ not remain unnotlcedg. hssha 1t would appear ta me that the dll- RomEefu closely resemble the man wseI having heEn rgmpiet1ly hsafr
