MIR. WRIGHT WRITES AGAIN.

To the Editor:
"Glass to fight Roosevelt Court
plan" That was the big type head
lines on the front page of the Dis
patch Saturday, Feb. 18th. Now I do
not think that was news to the aver
age newspaper reader. Had it been
reversed it would have been big news.
Nothing would have been more re-
markable could it truthfully have
been stated that Senator Carter Glass
of Virginia was trying to help the
Great Mr.. Roosevelt pull the 12O mil
lion Americans from the dirty nire
Of poverty.
The rich people of this country, and
especially those of the State of Vir-
ginia, have kept this man Glass in
public office about forty years, and
l dare any man to say through the
columns of newspaper that he ever
did one single thing to help the toll
ing millions, unless it would help the
rich more. Of course, Glass fights
Roosevelt's court plan, Mr.. Roosevelt
has tried for nearly four years to do
something for the workers and farm
ers, the great majority of American
people, but he has been hindered at
every turn by Supreme Court with
just five men in it, who are like Car
ter Glass, the servants of Wall Street
The President found that he had the
right under the Constitution to ask
the Congress to pass a law whereby
he could have things done that would
help him in his noble efforts to "pro-
vide enough for those who have too
little,' as he aid in his last inaugural
address. That is all he seeks to do,
yet such servants of the rapacious
rich as Carter Glass and Senator 10
Bailey do their little ALL too hinder
him in his noble efforts.
To show just what kind of man Car
ter Glass is let me relate what he did
in one instance in the last session of
Congress. The Nye committee of the
Senate who investigating the big
bankers of the country; they had old
j. p. Morgan and many more like him
before it. and they found so many
nasty things they run out of funds,
so the Senate was asked for more
money to carry on the investigation,
and the Senate granted it, but not I'M
til Carter Glass had knocked the
blood out of his hand pounding on his
desk trying to get the Senate to stop
investigation. And if I am not much
mistaken 10 Bailey voted with Glass
on that question as he did on about
every one since he has been in the
Senate. That means he voted all the
time against the farmers and work
ing folks on whose votes he holds his
Is thousand dollar per year job.
I firmly believe every man and wo-
man who constitute the twenty-seven
million who voted for Mr.. Roosevelt
last November should go to Wash
ington now and stay there until the
President gets the laws he wants to
cruh our enemies and thus free the
more than one hundred million Amer
leans who today dwell in poverty just
because a few have all the nation S
wealth.
Carter Glass, 10 Bailey and their
kind saw they want an amendment to
the constitution which will set every
thing right. Now please don't believe
a word of that, for it is said just to
defeat the PRECEDENT, for they and all
of us know it would take at least ten
and by that time the show will be
over in this once great country. I
want to say to the farmers and work.
ers: don't believe one word that Car
ter Glass, 10 Bailey and their kind
say for if you do it will be your dam
nation and the damnation of your
loved ones. Read on; if any one wants
to contradict that last statement I
w illbe glad if they will do so in this
paper.
Never since the opening guns of
the civil war has America been in
such a precarious position as it is to-
day. Four years ago Mr.. Roosevelt
was given more power than any man
ever had before. The big Wall Street
bankers, all the rich and Carter Glass
and 10 Bailey were at his feet. Times
