legany county. ;r-i..!.,
In statement announcing his can
didacy, Judge Doub said: Regardless
of his feelings toward the New Deal,
each one of us must realize the trans
formation of the relation between the
individual and the estate persistently
urged by the present Government.
This is no time for silent surrender
on the part of those who believe the
major policies of this administration
are fundamentally wrong and do vio-
lence to our conception of civil lib
erty safeguarded by a Government
of limited power. The Democratic
Representative from this District has
been a jealous advocate of the most
extreme and radical New Deal meas
ures. He is the principal advocate in
the House of Representatives of the
movement to destroy the supremacy
of the Constitution by depriving the
Supreme Court of its power to safe
guard the provisions Of the Constitu-
ton.
81 would like to represent this Dis
trict in Congress at this time in order
to have an opportunity to oppose as
effectively as possible any further cruel
waste of the taxpayers money, the
arrogance and abuse Of power by pub
lie officials, political influence in con-
nection with the administration of re-
lief, competition of Government with
private industry, domination of local
self-government of. the States by the
Federal Government and the persis-
tent and insidious efforts to rob the
courts of their Constitutional peroga-
tives. .,..
I firmly believe that the reelection
of the present Administrator will in
evitably lead to the undermining of
our cherished form of Government
with it's guarantee Of civil liberty and
equal opportunity under.our American
system" go. =.
