nouncing the socialistic philoso-
phies Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton in which citizens are taught
to look to the President for saliva
tion," former Governor Joseph B.
Ely, of Massachusetts, last night
called upon the voters of Maine
to sound the tocsin" calling the
people to a renewal of their faith,
and to lend this dangerous
regime"
Speaking at a big rally Of JEFF
fersonian Democrats in city hall,
the former Bay State chief execu-
tive, who has already announced
that he will vote for Governor
Landon, solemnly warned his big
audience that under the radical
philosophy of the present National
Adm iniStration, religion has no
place as every thinking person
will recognize when he views the
decentralization of the countries
where these policies have been
adopted"
Unless the soft" policy is
abandoned, he warned, there will
be chaotic social condition in
the United States" He said:
CAL too long have we dallied
with these false ideals.
"Wake-up, America. 1t rests
with the people Of Maine to
sound the tOcsin which calls the
people to renewed faith in
themselves, their God and the
institutions which their fathers
fashioned"
