EDH|TSDANGER
OF DICTATORSHIP
President Has Indicated Aim,
Declares Ex-senator,
on Radio.
By the Associated Press.

KANSAS CITY, November a.
James A. Reed, former Senator, said
last night in . radio address that
President Roosevelt undoubtedly
thinks" he has the right by direc-
ton or indirection to make himself
dictator"
"All Of these fine promises he 4
making" said Reed, "are but sugar
coating for the carrying forward Of
policies which mean the destruction
Of American life and civilization As
we have known It,"
The former Democratic Senator
from Missouri devoted much Of his
address to . review of the admin
istration's activities, and declared the
money wasted by Tugwell would
almost pay for the Panama Canal"
For one thing We should be thank
full" Reed said. Roosevelt, last night,
lifted his mask and plainly disclosed
his purpose to fasten the New Deal,
the A. A. A. and all his other policies
upon the country permanently.
I'm the broadcast possible manner"
he continued, "he indicated his pur-
pose to make this country O Com
munistic state, and to bring every
class of citizen under direct govern
mental control"
in view Of the threatening speech
made by Mr.. Roosevelt, there can
be no doubt as to his purpose, and
il he shall have his way there Is
not q liberty we cherish, not q right
we possess which may not be taken
away" Reed said.
This man undoubtedly thinks that
he has the right to impose his will
upon the people Of this land and by
direction or indirection to make him.
self dictator"
Referring to what he termed Roose-
velt's attacks" upon the Supreme
Court, Reed said these mot only had
their effect upon the turbulent and
lawless portions OF society, but they
were SO widespread among the New
Dealers that they penetrated the Ma
tional Democratic Committee"
That body" he continued, "is di-
rectly responsible for the suggestion
that the Supreme Court ought to
~ intimidated by having set up in
front Of the Supreme Court Building,
the guillotine on which Louis XVI
Of France was executed"
Declaring that the man who votes
for Roosevelt tomorrow knows, or
ought to know. that he is voting to
overturn our entire economic and po-
litical life Reed said. He must
know that he is voting to put all
business. including farming. in q
Government straightjacket, and nee
essarily to destroy that individual
liberty Of aspiration. Of enterprise
and Of opportunity which was estab-
lished by the Constitution. - ."

Post Card Signed
"Aice Long,corth"
Urges Roosevelt

A practical joker-and not the
Democratic Women's National Coun-
cil-was responsible for Alice Roose-
welt Longworth's name on a Demo-
cratic card mailed to loyal Republic
can in Minneapolis.
Mrs. Arthur D. Condor, president Of
the council here. said as much when
she received two telephone inquiries
from Chicago, one from the Republic
an National Committee and another
from Chicago newspaper, demanding
an explanation.
1t seems the Minneapolis voter re-
ceived post card urging President
Roosevelt's election and signed, Mrs.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth." He sent
1t to the Republican National Com
mittee and the inquiries followed.
The Republicans seemed to think
we were signing Mrs. Longworth's
name to the cards." laughed Mrs.
Condor. "As matter Of fact, we are
quite innocent of such a fraud, and
willing to concede Mrs. Longworths
vote to the Republicans"
The card was one of 5000 issued
to absentee voters here by the coun-
Gil for mailing to their friends back
home.

PAIN IS DECLARED
::.::::SOURCE OF GENIUS
Il
Lord TWeedsmuir Says Few
a Historical Figures Were
Normal People.
b the Associated Press.


!. OTTAWA, November 2.-Medical
circles pondered today the pain
born genius" theory advanced by Lord
Tweedsmuir. governor general Of
Canada, who declared Every few of
the great figures Of history were
healthy and normal people"
Citing what he described as "a
pathological side to almost every IA
NOUS historical figure" Lord Tweeds-
muir told the Royal College Of Physi-
Clans and Surgeons of Canada:
Most of these famous figures did
their work under grave physical
handicaps for which there was no
medical relief.
Caesar Had Epilepsy.
"You had Julius Caesar with his
mysterious epilepsy. You had Rob-
ert Bruce with a painful skin disease.
You had Cromwell with some kind
Of spleen trouble. You had Walter
Scott with gall stones"
He said the late Lawrence of Arabia,
his old friend, had told him bodily
pain was real stimulant and claimed
half his inspiration in his celebrated
wartime exploits in Arabia lay in the
fact he was struggling all the time
with pain and sickness.
At the same time, however, Lord
Tweedsmuir emphasized his belief that
while pain may lead to genius, medi-
cine has brought humanity clear
gain" by conquering much of the pain
and sickness which, in the past, ac-
companied some Of the chief work
OF the world, both in action and
thought"
Pain Causes Confusion.
Pain may be stimulant to the
mind" he said, but it Is q source
of confusion and bewilderment. 1t
blurs the perspective, obscures the
sense Of proportion and disturbs the
balance. If we can get rid of it,
We prepare the way for a more level
judgment and saner perspective"
Chaotic public problems today, he
said, demand far less the inspira-
ton of genius than patience, equanim-
ity and sound judgment in the Or
binary man. Above all, what is
needed is steady balance and stall
wart common sense"
Lord Tweedsmuir. known both as
an historian and novelist, received
honorary fellowships in medicine and
surgery in company with Dr.. Henry
Christian. Hersey professor Of phys
ics at Harvard University, Saturday
night.

NATIONAL PARK SERVICE ACTS
ON LUNDEEN's SUGGESTION

ON LUNDEEN'S SUGGESTION
The pioneer home and extensive
library of Ignatius Donnelly, Mime
sofa pioneer, statesman and scholar,
may be preserved as historical site,
by the National Park Service at
Washington, according to information
received by Congressman Ernest Lun-
deem who presented the matter to the
Park Service a few weeks ago.
The Donnelly homestead is located
at Nininger in Dakota County where
leaders of the Peoples Party of the
'90's used to congregate and plan for
their campaigns.
Congress Hears of Homestead
The old Ignatius Donnelly home
stead received national recognition on
June II when Congressman Lundeen
called attention to it in a speech be-
fore the House of Representatives
and stated that by state or national
action, the extensive library and fam
Gus homestead must be preserved.
Ignatius Donnelly's widow, Mrs. H.
L. Woltmen, now living in st. Paul,
saw Congressman Lundeen's speech
in the Congressional Record and
furnished him with historic data and
other information for presentation to
the National Park Service. The Park
Service has also requested maps, etc.
from Theodore Blegen, Director Of
the Minnesota Historical Society. The
Park Service Advisory Board on
Historic Sites will meet in October
and give further consideration to the
matter of preserving the Donnelly
library and homestead.
