To the Editor
On the Goth of last January in his
inaugural address President Roosevelt
said: I'm this nation I see tens OF
thousands of it's citizens-a substantial
part of it's whole population-who at
this moment are denied the greater
part of what the lowest standards OF
today call the necessities of life
The President still speaking said:
Il see millions of families trying to
live on incomes so meagre that the
pail of the family disaster hangs over
them day by day." He further said;
II see millions whose daily lives in
city and on farm continue under con-
ditions labelled indecent by socalled
politics society half century ago..
Still speaking the President said:
Il see millions denied education, re-
creation and the opportunity to bet
ter their lot and the lot of their chill
dren." Then he said II see one-third
of a nation ill-housed, ill-clad, ill
nourished."
Mr.. Roosevelt is the first President
we ever had who saw these things
we would suppose since he is the
first to ever say anything about them.
He has not only seen them but he
proposes to do something about them.
He believes, as Jesus did, that the
workman is worthy of his hire and
he proposes to see to it that he gets
it. Mr.. Roosevelt don't believe, as
many rich do, that the fathers and
mothers with their children should toll
through winters cold and summers
heat in the field of North Carolina, or
any other State, for just bare living.
We all know he has helped us during
the past, nearly, four years. He would
have done much more but five men in
the y. S. Supreme court blocked him
off on many of his plans.i Now that
he enters upon his second term of
four years he is very desirous of do
ing great things for Americas pro-
~duclng C.ass, but he finds those five
men in his path who are on the side
OF great wealth, and they will not let
him pass. Under the Constitution,
that the rich love as much now he
can if the Congress will pass the
proper law fix these five men who are
giving him all the trouble, so they
will not have so much power, thus
making it possible for our President
to free us from the bondage that has
bowed us down all through the years.
1t is up to every voter who loves
his family and his country to write
Senator j. w. Bailey, u. S. Senate,
washington, D. G.. and in this the
fourth district to Hon. Harold D. Coo
ley, House of Representatives, Wash
lngton, D. c.. and let them know you
expect them to stand by the Presi-
ldent in his efforts to help you and
yours and especially in his effort to
keep five members of the supreme
court from carrying us back to
Hooverism
Last summer 1 begged the people
not to vote for J. w. Bailey for the
Senate, for I knew he was against the
best interest of the great majority of
our people. Too often had I seen him
vote with the dirty reactionaries to
further the cause of predatory wealth
during his first term as Senator. I
knew he was one of the most valuable
men Wall Street had in the Senate,
and thereby one of the worse enemies
the farmer and working people had.
Last session of the Congress just be-
fore he was to be nominated for his
second term he voted with Senator
Reynolds, who always stands for the
New Deal. He even got to loving Mr..
Roosevelt more, but just as soon as
he was elected for another six wear
term he went back, like the dog in
the Bible, to his vomit, and is now
fighting Mr.. Roosevelt in his move to
get something done about the SUI
preme Courts blocking all his plans.
Last November Mr. Bailey received
about two hundred and fifty thousand
votes, while Mr.. Roosevelt received
four hundred and sixteen thousand in
this State. Who does North Caro-
lima propose to follow, the President |
or Bailey? The President has done
something for us the plain people. |
Has Senator Bailey?
