When Mr.. Pryor speaks Of the
"rabble rousers" we might also re-
mind him that President Roose-
welt is the outstanding rabbIe-
rOuser of all time. Mark Anthony
in his Grafton over the dead body
of Caesar was a mere tyro COM
pared to him. For the past five
years he has been preaching ard
advocating class hatredS through
out the length and breadth of
this nation. He has arrayed class
against class and has made repeat
ed speeches calculated to engen-
der malice of the poor against the
rich, or the have-nots against
those who through industry and
frugality, have. Should any citi-
zen be so bold as to even question
his "rabble rouSing" mfounded
uttcranceS, he at once shouted
through politically controlled
radio system that such persons
were economic royaliStS," "Reac-
tionary Bourbons," Modern Mac
aulays," or Liberty LeaguerS. "
Coarse epithetS, vituperation and
abuse are the weapons of the
Roosevelt administration against
those citizens who dare to differ
with the great master and must
executive.
During the present western trip
of the president Che is the most
expensive and widely travelled
president we have ever had he
has told the people that he cX-
poets to balance the budget next
year. Year after year for the past
four years he has told Us this
bedtime story" and instead of
balancing the budget he Is spend
ing more money and putting US
farther in debt each succeeding
year. Referring TO this matter
Congressman Fish said recently
LET us make it perfectly clear
that the responsibility for an un-
balanced budget rests entirely
with the president and his mania
to suuandcr money on SoclallStlc
New Deal experiments and Tue
well towns" The very words
balanced budgct'--trom PrcSi-
dent Roosevelt, arouse memories
of that well known comic strip
entitled Bug House Fables The
congressman has chosen very
apt name to apply to "Whitc
House" under the Roosevelt add
ministration, namely the bug
House"
! would recommend that Mr..
Pryor read one of Colonel Hugh
johnson, the newspaper column
lists. comments on this admins
tration. He was head of the MIRA,
very close to the president, and
knows whereof he speaks.
As to the South Carolina vote
last November. That does n"t
mean anything. We all know the
old saving: "Votc for Il yellow
dog if he is on the Democratic
ticket" Although Mr.. Roosevelt
had betrayed his party and We
pudiated every plank in its plat
form save alone the WHISKY
plank. Although instead of car
rying out the Democratic plat
form he took up the platform of
the Socialist party and carried it
out. Although he failed to keep
any of the promises and pledges
he shouted loudly from the pub
lie platform, to get votes; al
though he trampled in the dust
the principle of states rights 50
sacred to the south and to pre-
serve which tens of thousands OF
her illuStmouS sons laid down
their lives on the CORY fields of
battle; despite all these things he
claimed to be running as Demo
crat and that was his passport to
victory. Abraham Lincoln said
"You can fool some of the people
all of the time; YOU can fool all
of the people part Of the time,
but YOU can't fool all of the pco-
pie all of the time" And Mr..
Roosevelt will not be able to fool
all of the pcople--even the pco-
pie of the southland, all of the
time. They have taken his meas
urc and found out that he is not
the super man" they thought he
was last November but on the
contrary that he is just a man OF
clay,-very much clay. When ne
is caught in a tight corner as he
now is with his appointment of
Black to the supreme court
bench, he assuages the feelings
of an irate people by making
them additional promises wflch
he cannot and does not intend to
keep and makes an engagement
to dine with Bishop Mundcleln,
the Catholic Cardinal in Chicago.
to apologize for his k.k.h. APP
pointment. -.
But, Lincoln's words will prove
true. He will not be able to fool
all of the people all of the time;
In fact. jim Farley, the pork
dispenser has already read the
handwriting on the wall-"mGne
