"That was the only way he
could be governor" the former

Johnson also bombarded for

"Happy Warrior" to n debate on
whether President Roosevelt has
"ditched the 1882 platform" Of
the Democratic party.

assertion that there was no action
by this administration that was
not outlined in the platform and
the campaign and conversely,
that. with two exceptions, there
was no promise in the platform
not carried out" General Johnson
asserted.
The two exceptions, he said,
were the promise TO reduce the
cost of government 25 per cent
and to balance the budget, and
the promise of sound currency.
