REPLICA
OF DOORWAY

ALEXANDRIA, Va, June 18.
After several futile attempts to
regain possession of the original
doorway of the historic old Gads-
by's Tavern here, the Mount Yer.
non Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, are now
having a replica of the door made
to replace the present one.
Sale of the original doorway
was made many years ago, when
it appeared that the historic old
building would become completely
dilapidated. The door is now the
property of the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Arts, New York city,
which has refused to sell it to AL.
eXandria.
Restoration of the old tavern
has been made through the ef-
forts of several local organiza-
tions and the property is now in
the possession of Alexandria Post,
No. "a, American Legion.
Wilbur c. Hall, chairman of
the commission on conservation
and development, took an active
part in the attempt to regain
possession of the doorway, but
the museum would not release it.

7 AUTO DEATHS
INVESTIGATED

While Coroner A. Magruder Mac
Donald today was to hear teSti-
mony in the deaths of two children
in traffic mishaps Wednesday
afternoon. Acting Superintendent
of Police L. I. H. Edwards renewed
his orders to police to keep a sharp
lookout for the safety of District
boys and girls.
Inspector Edwards told police
the safeguarding of children was
one of the most important duties
of the police department. Greater
responsibility, however, he ex-
planned, rests on the public to
drive carefully and with a greater
regard for the safety of others.
The coroner will hear today how
Michael MaIey, 8, of 420 Third st,
N. W., and Harry Glazier, 6, OF
1915 Park Rd. N. W., died in "un-
avoidable" accidents beneath the

The Republican Viewpoint
EDITED BY
The Republican County Central
Committee

Waste of the peoples money unpre-
cedented in American history, taxation
on a scale that threatens ruin to num-
berless business firms and property
owners, raising of the cost of living to
workers without proportionate increase
in compensation, shrinkage in farm va
lues through ridiculous experimentation
with agriculture, increase of the public
debt to unbelievable billions-these are
some of the results of the New Deal
administration in Washington,
Under the Roosevelt regime there has
been a definite and calculated effort to
scrap the Constitution and substitute
for the American form of government,
instituted by the founders of this ma
tion and under which the United States
has grown great, a dictatorship along
the current European lines.
These are among the reasons why
the Republican party has entered upon
a crusade to rescue this country from the
threat of destruction of all our Amer
lean traditions If this is allowed to
persist, Americans face the ultimate
loss of most of their liberties as free
men.
licans of the Imperial Valley and of
Southern California are fighting as they
never fought before to end the menace
of the present administration by elect
ing Governor Alf Landon and Colonel
Frank Knox, as we'll as the Republican
nominees for Congress, the State Sem
ate and the Assembly.
President Roosevelt and the radical
group of advisors with whom he has
surrounded himself are on the defens-
i've in this campaign. They are grow
ing fearful, and we'll they may be, be-
cause there are too many matters which
it is impossible for them to explain.
They have given no answer, nor have
they even attempted to reply, to the
question of why this so-called Democra-
tic President has broken practically ev-
cry pledge. and every promise contained
in the Democratic platform which he
accepted, and on which he was elected.
Further, President Roosevelt refuses,
and has consistently refused to explain
his repudiation of many other solemn
avowals made by him to the people
before election and afterward.
In his acceptance speech and in many
speeches subsequently broadcast to the
nation, he pledged himself to adhere
in his administration to our traditional
form of government, reduce public ex-
penditures, balance the budget and cut
bureaucracy to the core.
The violation of these promises has
not been the result Of overwhelming cir
cumstance, but has resulted from the
endeavor to make over the entire pat
tern of our social and economic life.
How can a self-government continue
if people cannot put trust in the pledg-
es of the party and the candidates for
whom the maj ority may vote? If we
cannot do so the system of party govern
ment must crumble and nothing can
take its place excepting dictatorship or
revolutionary chaos.
On these charges Franklin D. Roose-
welt stands indicted before the citizens
of the United States, and on November
3rd the verdict of the nation will be
returned against him.

The Democratic Viewpoint

Committee

to let a single negative thought over
shadow hundred positive thoughts.
In the political battle to be conSummat-
ed on November 3, we see an effort to
so magnify the isolated objections to the
New Deal as to make them appear more
important than the far-flung mass of
benefits which the administration has
brought to this country.
1t is very doubtful whether an appre-
ciable portion of the voters will be at
all fooled by the assertions of the Re
publicans. On November when the
voters go to the polls, they will bear
one thought in mind That is the diff
ference in the individual and mass well
fare today, as against the individual
and mass welfare of 1882.
That is the ONLY issue in this cam
paign. Fault-finding over such things
as legislation that it took the supreme
court justices, as experts, to find uncon-
stitutional with considerable disagree
ment between them) mote-picking such
as one case of boondoggling against a
hundred cases of emergency aid; such
as these are only decoys to distract the
attention away from the big important
issue.
Three years ago this nation faced
bankruptcy and goodness knows what
ment speak for themselves. Consider
these:
SINCE 1888
Unemployment has been reduced 27
percent
Steel production has increased 39s
per cent.
Automobile production advanced 337
per cent.
Department store sales have advanced
70 per cent.
Exports have advanced AZ per cent.
Construction has advanced 141 per-
cent.
Stock prices have advanced 146 per
cent.
We could go on and on quoting the
facts. There is no need, however, as
every open-minded person KNOWS that
what the Hoover administration could
not do, the Roosevelt administration
DID do. Naturally, the opposition par
ty endeavors to discredit such an admir-
able accomplishment. They say that
the recovery was in spite of the New
Deal, not because of the New Deal IT is
to be noted that the trend did not start
UPWARD until after the Republicans
left the controls.
If ever in our history party had a
record to be proud of, it is the Roosevelt
administration. The New Deal started
to do job and did that job despite alb
sence of historical precedent. 1t ack-
nowledges few errors What pioneer
in any field is without record of some
mistakes? The wonder is that so few
were made in bringing 125 million peo-
pie safely through such storm swept
years.

this country will replace the admins

REAL ESTATE MOVEMENT
POINTS TO FUTURE

Announcement of another big Main
street real estate deal, through which
Ell Centre will acquire at least one new
building and will see an old one remod-
eled and set to new uses serves as an
indication Of far sighted investors that
there is no better time than now to in
vest in real estate here, whether it be
business or residential. Success creates
success, and never is this so true as in
the realm of property. Values leap up
ward in growing town.
Those who intend to invest in Ell Cen
tro real estate, but are waiting for a
better opportunity, will find them
selves the losers There is no better
time than now to buy property and to
build. Every indication points to rapid
growth here in the next few years, and
such a rapid growth can have no other
effect than to boost propery values.
Dollars invested in property today will
get the benefit of the increase. Dollars
held in the hope better opportunity
will be presented will do nothing but
lose money for their poSsessors.
