 ""The powers of congress have been llsurped by the President say Hearst and Mills and Moses and Bingham and Hoover. The same was said of Washington and Jackson and Lincoln. The American people expect their President to be @ leader, not a craven dummy in the lap of some ventriloquist.
 Regulated Monopoly
 Regulated monopoly has dis- placed free enterprise, say these who put together Joseph's coat at Cleveland. When under their domination did anybody see or hear of free enterprise? Uncon- trolled monopoly was their middle name.
 'Figures are important to regis- ter results, but the astonishing figures of American recovery are not the most important thing.
 "There has been no such vol- tune of recovery in so short a time in the whole history of the world as occurred here in the first six months of 1883. It paused rrlomen- tarily in 1884, but 1t has gone steadily upward with no sustained recession.
 "But there are human values far beyond these figures. {.
 We have preserved and stimu- lated respect for law and the rights of the average man.
 we have increased the loyalty of the people to the government which should be their servant.
 We have restored the faith from which must spring the de- lenders of the flag and of the constitution.
 we have cultivated a study of the science of government and its truest functions among millions to whom government was something apart and without meaning.
 We have renewed and re-en- forced the belief that after all government and trusted leaders may hear and heed the cry of the humblest worshipper at the shrine of equality.
 Faith Reklndled
 we have rekindled the vanish- ing faith in the survival of the best as well as the fittest.
 We have revitalized the answer to the question which has rung
The Waterbury Democrat., 1936-06-24

 we have under the leadership of Q man of rare and superb courage endeavored not to tear down what others have legiti- inately constructed. but to estab- fish a fairer, juster order that will give to every man, woman and child in this republic the right to stand erect in pride and self-re- spect, to see the stars on high and share the glory of the sun.
 May I conclude with this quo- tation:
 "'No greater thing could come to our land today than @ revival of the spirit of religion---a revival that would sweep through the homes of the nation and stir the hearts of men and women of all faiths to Q realization of their belief in God and their dedication to his will for themselves and for their world. i,

its chance ever to be restorted to the control of American life.
 "The Roosevelt administration has inaugurated Q land use pro- gram. The republican platform can do nothing but endorse 1t.
 c. o. P. Endorse
 "The Roosevelt administration has inaugurated soil conservation under an intelligent program. The republican platform tardily fol- lows. The republican platform for political purposes proposes to ex- tend experimental aid to farm CTS in developing new crops.
 "But the people have been told that the foundations of national credit are sinking because of an unbalanced budget.
 Deficits and debtsl Who began the deficits which have covered every year since 1920? Did the last republican administration bal- ance the budget? They merely juggled the estimates of revenue and expenditures. Spending little to retrieve disaster, they increased the public debt by more than four billion dollars.
 '"rhey did not tell you and will not tell you that during the cree ation of these deficits and un- balanced budgets there was no federal relief program and no pulp lie works program; that states and counties and cities threw this bur- den on the federal doorstep not under Hoover but under Roose- Velt. ...
 Miserable Politics
 "Those who seek to play r1iser- able politics with human misery shout that these billions of dol- lars spent for relief and work have been poured out in reckless waste. ...
 we shall balance the budget. But we shall not do 1t at the expense of human life nor to the degradation of the spirit and morale of our people. .. And while anxious farmers ponder their fate, and laboring men scan the heavens for a rainbow of hope, and women and children look in vain for the preservation of their lives and health, voice from the grave at Palo Alto shouts, Thank God for the su- nrenne colirt.'
 'I made nc attack on the su- preme court. As an institution I respect it. ..
 "If in the future further amend- ment should become necessary to enable the people to work out their destiny and protect their fundamental rights, or to over- come some archaic interpretation never intended by its farmers. I doubt now that the people will face that duty with the same calm in- teiiigence which has guided them in the past. l.

liver the people from the clutches of an irresponsible government?
 Outstanding Acts
 "But when some three or four outstanding acts, conceived and consummated in behalf of labor, or agriculture and the honest con- duct of business and designed to constitute this as Q government of equal rights, are cast aside by the rigors of technicality and tho application of antiquated econ omic predelections in the inter- pretation of the document, as in- dicated by one of the great dis senters, we are asked to condemn the legislature and Executive as attempting to inject some alien concept into the fiber of our in- stitutionS. ..
 we have sought to treat 1t (the constitution as life-giving charter, rather than an object of curiosity on the shelf of a mu-
 "These judges have decided that under the constitution the federal government cannot lift men, wo- men and children out of the de- gradation of unconscionahle hours, wages or working conditions, be- cause 1t irvades the rights of the states. They have decided that the states cannot do 1t because 1t invades the rights of private prop erty. presume this progressive and local course will soon lead us to the conclusion that private property cannot do 1t, because 1t violates the law of gravitation.
 "What we need is Q new defini- ton and a new interpretation of interstate commerce. Every ar- ticle that is grown or mined or fabricated in one state and destined for another by whatever means of transportation is an ob- feet of interstate commerce. !. And you can no more divide this nation into 48 air-tight and wa- ter-tight economic compartments than you can parcel off the heav- ems to control the winds or the rains.
 Tortured Souls
 "Over against the Hosanahs of Hoover for the tortured interpre- tation of the constitution I place the tortured souls and bodies of men who work and pray. of wo- men whose God-given right is not fulfilled in a sweat-shop, and of children whom we have sought to restore to the school room and the playground. One day all these will thank God for Franklin Roosevelt.

shown to 8 few leaders yesterday, aroused controversy over several points.
 The plank on currency expressed satisfaction with the present mone- tary system, stated that the admin istration favored a policy of adapt ing itself to changing financial con. diticns as they occurred, but made nc mention of either return to gold or an immediate effort toward international stabilization of cur- rencies.
 Munitions Plank
 The munitions plank, merely de- claring against war profits and mak- ing no preference to naturalization of key industries in war time, fail- ed to satisfy congressman interested in putting through strong neu- trality declaration on the basis of tbe senate munitions committee in- vestigations. They drafted a substi- ute plank calling for extension of peace-tirne government ownership of munitions facilities to permit con- trol of prices in uwar time.
 The farm plank troubles continu- ed to hinge chiefly on Secretary of Agriculture Henry A. Wallaces de- mand for inclusion of crop inSur. ance in the general statement ap- proving the present soil conserva- ton program.
 Foreign Affairs
 The foreign affairs plank as ten- tatively approved at the White House was criticized by several western congressman as weak. They drafted a substitute to be presented to the committee, calling for re- strictions on trade with belligerents, for quotas of goods to be sold to -belligerents in war time, and and for a declaration that the Uni- ted States would not be responsible for safety of citizens or goods on ships of belligerent nations plying the seas in time of conflict.
 New Deal Social Program
 The makeup of the resolutions committee offered an insight as to the trend which 1t will take in its recommendations.
 It included a strong bloc of con- gressmen active in pressing legis- lation in support of the New Deal social program.
 But there were voices on the com mittee which have been raised in unstinting criticism of the New Deal experimentation and which have re- peatedly demanded sign that the administration was ready to cease both heavy expenditures and legiS- lation which they consider social- istic.
 These included Sen. David I. Walsh of Massachusetts.

 Except for Q painful stiffness and the inconvenience of wearing a .bandage, Capone showed no i'll of. fleets today from being stabbed. Warden James A. Johnson said the wound was superficial. Lucas was in almost equally bad shape. Ca- pone knocked him down before a guard reached them.
 Brief Announcement
 A brief announcement of the af. fray from the department of justice in Washington said that Lucas, serv- ing a 30-year term, claimed that he was 1notivated by a belief that Capone had "ratted" about breachs es of prison discipline.
 "Capone," the department of jus. tice said, "has stated that Lucas had importuned him to arrange financial assistance for him. Capone said that he had refused to listen to these propositions"

 "Now remind you of that stroke of boldness which pro- claimed the holiday of banks2 Or the passage of the emergency banking act2 Or the banking act of 1885, which together re- stored not only banking but pub- lie confidence in banks?
 And need remind you that the republicans who manipulated the Cleveland convention nomin. ated man for president who be- fore the American Bankers As- sociation denounced the federal deposit insurance act which guar aateed the deposits of the people throughout the United States, and as governor of his state exerted every ounce of influence of his command to prevent the banks of Kansas from entering the guaranteed system?
 For 12 years-yea, for 12 long years'-the leaders of the re- publican party dwelt in a fools paradise and allowed the Ameri- can people to pour billions of dollars into the sink-hole of frau- dulent investment securities. {.
 "In their platform they stam- mer a pious sentence in behalf of regulation of interstate securities and interstate activities of public ulities. But we have already done 1t.
 Cancer Removed
 "The administration of Frank lin Roosevelt found tho cancer and removed 1t, and will ndminis- ter to the affected parts the healing processes of honesty from which will come a healthier growth and fuller service. :.
 "In 1920. 1924, 1928 and 1892 the hollow promise was made by republican platforms and candi- dates to restore agriculture to economic equality with industry. The promise was never fulfilled or intended for fulfillment. It has been repeated again in their plat form in 1886, with no more thought of it's accomplishment now than in the past. ....
 Both parties advocated the control of production in order to prevent unstable surpluses. The difference was that the democra- tic platform meant what it said and was immediately fulfilled when the opportunity came to us.
 'The agricultural adjustment act was the fuIfillment of this pledge to the farmers.
 "They (the republicans) have wept over the slaughter of a few little pigs as if they had been tender human infants nestling at their mothers breasts.
 'srhey are not weeping be- cause we ploWed under a few rods of cotton. Mfr. Hoover started that. Their real sorrow springs from the fact that we have pl0wed under the sordid concep- tlcns of old deal government and

Sting OF Bee
Cures Man OF

Anderson, S. C.--The sting of
bees does not make R. L. Griffin of
this city run, but they do put him
into a normal walk.
Griffin long had suffered severe
ly from sciatica that extended
from his back down his left leg. He
could only hobble around or crut-
ches until a bee accidentally stung
him the other day. The next day
he said he felt better than he had in
months, and now he is virtually a
well man since permitting three
bees to sting him on the affected
limb on alternate days.
Strangely enough, Griffin said
until the last few weeks the sting
