Through
Hazel
Eyes
BY
Hazel Brannon

President Roosevelt should be con-
WINGED by now that the American
people will vote exactly as they please
and will not permit presidential in
fluence to change their convictions.
We cannot and do not blame Roose-
men who are in complete accord
with his New Deal. He must have
harmony to get his program across.
We have nothing but praise for
him when ne says he Is considering
the MAN and NOT the PARTY
That Is admirable.
However, we cannot help but feel
that he is overstepping the bounds
of propriety when he goes into states
and urges the defeat o. one con-
gresham and election of another
That is beneath the dignity and po-
sition OF the President Of the United
States and should not be done. He
should leave the dirty work to his
subordinates and stay in his place.
The American people want a Pres
idcnt they can love and respect, not
an ordinary politician.
History is only repeating itself
Everytime the Democratic party gets
in power it goes hog wild or does
something to cause a split and we
have the Republican party in the
saddle again. When we Democrats
get in power we don't seem to know
how to use 1t.

Roosevelt more than any other
president in the history of our coun-
try has been in sympathy and tried
to do more for the poor man and the
poorer class of people. He seems to
be more human than any man ever TO
sit in the presidential chair. That,
together with his magnificent voice,
has won him the admiration and
love of millions of Americans.
People today feel they know the
President personally They see and
hear him in movies; they read him
in newspapers; they hear him over
radio. At all times he is figure
20 compel attention.
Because he has been close to the
hearts of the American people he
will go down In history as the great
est president Of all time or else as
the greatest idealist who ever head
ed the American government.

Over in Georgia the other day the
PWA allotted fifty million dollars
to : project In Louisiana recently
thirty million was given for one
single project and IA million to an
otner.
This drain on the public treasury
is the disgusting part Of the New
Deal. People are getting tired of this
spending and are turning against the
President and his New Deal.
Politics Is the prime consideration
in the spending Of this money. Eas-
tern states and doubtful states are
the favorites. The states who play
smart politics are the ones who get
he money.
AS a consequence Mississippi has
gotten little compared to other south
ern states. particularly Alabama, &C.
o.gia and Louisiana.
1t is too bad we don't have more
states like Mississippi 1t is too bad
we don't have enough Republicans
in the state to run a full ticket. 1t
is too bad the administration can
always depend on the Magnolia
State to come across.
II we didn't always come through
the administration would be court
ing us just as attentively as it has
courted Georgia. Pennsylvania, Ma
ryland and others.
Mississippi gets from seven to nine
million dollars for ALL PWA pro-
jects.
