Prosperity Regained

Due appreciation Of possession more fully realiz-
ed after loss
Property is essential to all. It means increased
dividends to the business man, better prices to the
farmers; higher wages to the laborer and job at
living wage to others.
The wealth of nation is measured by the pros
perity of it's citizens, provided that prosperity is
TRUE. The privileged few may enjoy prosperity at
the expense of the great majority This is FALSE
prosperity that BODIES disaster for all.
FALSE prosperity during recent Republican ad-
mnisratons ured the nation to the bring of disaster
The money changers ruled supreme. Business men
were told by the Republican leaders that new day
had arrived They were led to believe all would con-
tinue well. Like all things built upon false founda-
ton, that so-called prosperity crashed in 1929
Business structures crumbed under Hoover's ad-
ministration Banks failed and life savings were lost
The price of farm products sumped Wages of labor
slashed Millions stalked the streets in idleness
and faced starvation. The nation refused to listen
longer to the siren song of prosperity just around
the corner"
new leader assumed control Of the distressed
nation March f. 1888. He was Franklin DelanO
Roosevelt He promised to chase money changers from
the temple; to seek justice for all and give special
privilege to none, and to promote the greatest good
for the greatest number. He offered the American
people New Deal
There was sincerity and understanding in the
voice of this leader Confidence and hope were nspr
ed. The people recognized Roosevelt as great hu-
manitarian one in whom they could place trust. A
new DAY QaWneQ.
The President faced the difficult task of regain
ing something that had been lost to the nation = a
TRUE prosperity He set about to bring order out Of
chaos Under his leadership banks reopened and
currency stabilized Wheels of business started turn
ing again Fair wages and shorter hours became a
reality for labor. Business showed profits instead of
losses Prices of farm products increased and agricul
ture was revitazed. Thousands returned to jobs at
better wages.
The American people have drawn winning hand
under the New Deal. Business has been rescued from
bankruptcy. Homes and farms have been saved for
the owners Youth has been given new hope for the
future The feeble and aged have been assured com
fort during their remaining days. Ambition has been
revitalized in a once disillUsoned nation.
The American people will not turn back After a
great battle the victorious general realgns his battle
front and concentrates his gains He makes ready fo1
the counter attack and to continue his drive forward
President Roosevelt has been the great general in the
against the depression. He has restored prosper
ity The people have retained confidence in his leader
ship They stand ready to follow him in the fight fo1
justice equality and continued prosperity.
It is beyond conception to think the people vii
endanger the hard won gains by placing trust in the
false prophets who betrayed them The battle CRY
of the nation shall be:
Forward with Roosevelt = prosperity regainec
must be sustained :r
