AFFORD to give because, thanks to the
Roosevelt policies, they are earning
more money than at any time in his
tory.
Money Goes Round
and Round Like This"
The money goes round and round
like this. The Roosevelt Administra-
ton enacted the A. A. A. to give the
farmers a decent income for their
products. The farmers paid of their
debts and bought automobiles and
other products. The du Pcnts got
their pockets filled and then they
formed the American Liberty League.
The league poured out money like
water to prove that A. A. A. was de-
stroying America and raising food
prices to the consumers. In other
words the farmers money was used
to destroy his own prosperity. That's
really going round and round.
So, my friends, the members of the
American Liberty League, who are
making more money than any other
group In the United States, complain
that Mr.. Roosevelt is destroying their
liberties. They are ungrateful and
they want the people of the United
States to be just as ungrateful as they
are. I think you farming people out
here in the Midwest can take care of
the Liberty League without any help
from me.
am fully conscious that many Of
you in the State. listening in tonight,
and vast number throughout this
Middle West territory are members of
the Republican party and that in the
past you have been closely affiliated
with its organization and frequently
in sympathy with its policies. I hope
that partisanship will never blind me
to the extent that under its influence
forget the many fine men and wom-
en- who have accomplished wonderful
things for the United States while un-
der Republican banner.
It is fact well known to all of us
that victory for the Roosevelt Garner
ticket was made possible in 1882 be-
cause many millions of outstanding
Republicans became disguised with
the reactionary control of their own
party and enlisted under the Demo-
cratic banner. Quite frankly we think
that our great President has fulfilled
his promise to them, and we want
their sympathy, their help and their
suffrage again. The important thing
to consider is who is running the Re-
publican party today and what may
We expect If it returns to power?
Recalls Radio Skit
Sponsored by G. O. p.
The present leadership Of the Re-
publican party has given its own an
swer to that question. Only recently
the National Committee sponsored q
series of so-called dramatic skits over
the radio. The principle characters
were John and Mary, whom they in
PRODUCED as typically young Ameri-
cans. Perhaps you tuned in and heard
these dramatic presentations. The
Republican John and Mary turned out
to be the most hopeless and stupid
morons imaginable. just think OF
holding up such characters as typical
young Americans! The usual pattern
of the Tory Old Guard was adhered
to faithfully. John and Mary were
filled up with untruthful statements
about the public debt and taxes until
they became terrified and abandoned
their plan to get married. The old
economic scare" campaign in a new
setting.
| I think in those radio skits the Re-
publican leaders disclosed very little
about what is going on in the minds
of the young men and women of Amer
lea, but they certainly did disclose
what Is going on in their own minds
They still regard the voters as rather
| simple minded folks who will believe
