The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-10-31
PRESIDENT HAS
 ENDORSED EARLE
tcoatinued from Page D

Only Gov. George H. Earle. whose administration has been charged with graft and corruption, and who is Q candidate for the United States senate, was endorsed directly, but MT. Roosevelt said that it seems to me that liberals in Pennsylvania, ir- respective of party, can scarcely place their trust in the liberalism or desire for social justice of any can- dates who are sponsored by such obvious reactionaries as the we'll known Messrs, Annenberg, Grundy, and Pew"
 This, Democrats said, was an en- dorsement of the entire Democratic ticket which Is headed by Charles Alvin Jones, the gubernatorial can- didate. His references were to M. L. Annenberg, publisher of the Phil adalphia Inquirer, Joseph R. Grun- dy, former senator, an industrial ist long prominent in Republican politics, and Joseph N. Pew, Jr, an oil man.
 Had Appealed for Aid
 Pennsylvania Democrats have ap- pealed to MT. Roosevelt for aid sev- eral times since the campaign began and two cabinet members, Secretary of Agriculture and Attorney General Cummings, have spoken in the state. Republicans have charged that Mir, Roosevelt hadn't endorsed the ticket personally because of the graft charges against Earle.
 MT. Roosevelts letter to Doyle follows:
 q appreciate very much your call- ing my attention to the misuse of my name and the name of my ad- ministratino in the Pennsylvania campaign.
 Many months ago, made 1t clear that while I am net asking voters to vote for Democrats next Novem- Der. as opposed to Republicans or members of any other party, never theless I have the right to speak out in those instances where there has been a clear or deliberate misus of my name. That has happened in Pennsylvania.
 Name Must Stay In
 q recognize that my name and the name of my administration can not wholly be eliminated from the campaign. Candidates for congress ought to express their views on the vital national issues. Candidates for state offices ought to express their views on the vital issues respecting the cooperation of the state adminis- tration with the national adminis- tration.
 But also recognize that there are local and personal issues wholly distinct from the national issues. I have endeavored to the best of my ability to keep away from such lo- cal and personal issues wholly dis tinct from the national issues. l have endeavored to the best of my ability to keep away from such local and personal issues. No one human being, particularly If he is occupied with numerous and important na- tional problems, can be expected to be able to inform himself suffi- ciently to pass upon local and perosnal issues in many different states and districts.
 Objects to Judge James
 SBut in my relations with the Earle administration can truth fully say that I have found 1t at all times willing and eager to help in carrying into effect liberal pro- gram for social and economic jus tice. therefore feel that I have every right to object to Judge James saying in his speeches that I have deliberately refrained from meddling in local issues in Pennsylvania be- cause I am unwilling to put my hands in that muddy water That deliberately misrepresents the facts,
 "As Judge James has misused my name in the Pennsylvania campaign do not think 1t is amisS for me to point out that, to put it mildly, there is a clear inconsistency in his position in appealing for votes of opponents of the New Deal on the ground that he is opposed to the New Deal and in appealing for the votes of liberals on the ground that am not actively participating in the Pennsylvania campaign,
 That does not make sense.
 "As against his inconsistency, it seems to me that liberals in Penn sylvania, irrespective of party, can scarcely place their trust in the lib- eralism or desire for social justice of any candidates who are sponsored by such obvious reactionaries as the well known Messers. Annenberg, Grundy, and Pew.
