Robin Hoods barn, after knifing the
President for six long years, after
heckling and sabotaging and enter
tanning the Republican opposition In
his home in order to undercut the
President and after conniving with
the Liberty League to circulate his
speeches." he said. "Mr Tydings at
the start Of this campaign made us
believe he was sincerely for the bone
and sinew Of the Roosevelt admins
tration
He listed that bone and sinew to-
night But let us look at it. Let us
look at it carefully In the list that
he just read over the radio he listed
five bills which were passed during
the Hoover administration. And he
calls this the bone and sinew of the
Roosevelt program.
includes H. o. l. c.
He lists the H. O. l.. c., passed
under Hoover. as one OF these. but
fails to state that he secured an H. o.
L. c. loan illegally on his town house
at Havre de Grace for $4,000. This
was not only illegal, but it was not .
distress loan.
He also lists the La Follette-C Costi-
gan act, the Wagner Unemployment
Act, the Relief Act of 1882. the Pub
lie Works Act of 1882, all of them
passed under Hoover He lists them,
my friends. because OF the paucity of
his voting record on relief measures.
The truth is that he voted for no
relief until 1887 when he saw elections
just around the corner.
What Mr.. Tydings did not list for
you tonight was l9 other measures
vital to the New Deal against which
he voted. siding with Senator Vanden-
berg. the Republican leader. He did
not remind you that Editorial Research
Reports. an impartial agency serving
both Republican and Democratic
newspapers. including the Baltimore
Sun, lists his voting record as only
20 per cent. Only 20 per cent OF the
New Deal was favored by Tydings. Is
this what he calls the bone and
sinew?'
Mr.. Lewis also defended the Pres
ident's so-called invasion" of Mary
land. and declared:
Mr.. Tydings. the President of the
United States Is not an outsider to
the people Of Maryland. He is one
Of us.
But what you did not mention,
Mr.. Tydings. is the amount of out
side cash that is flowing into your
campaign Golfers the carpetbag
money from vested interests in New
York, in Delaware, in Pennsylvania,
and elsewhere throughout the union.
I'll mention the N. r. A., Mr..
Tydings. Gladly. I'll mention it in
relation to your price fixing bill.
The N. r. A.. faulty though 1t
may have been, was undertaken for
the protection and well-being Of an
entire people. But the Millard Tyd-
ings price Liking act is not for me,
and not for you, my fellow citizens.
1t is for the few-the greedy few, who
take from me and take from you"
