SMITHS RECORD
FULL OF HOLES.
SAYS OPPONENT.
Our Goose-Egg Friend
Dodd DubS Him

ALEXANDRIA, Va, July 8.
Representative Howard W. Smith,
candidate for reelection in Vir-
ginia's Eighth Congressional Dis
trict against William E. Dodd, jr.,
was dubbed "our goose-egg friend"
by his opponent in a radio address
over WJSV last night,
Centering his attack on Smiths
consistent opposition to all Ad-
ministration legislation involving
PWA programs, Dodd asserted
that Smith had consistently hung
up goose eggs" in his voting on
the issues. He said
IT want to review that scintil-
lating record Of the Congress
man from Alexandria who voted
against % Of 38 PWA projects
in his own Congressional Dis
trict.
CITES NEW SCHOOLS
Among the projects which
my gooSe-egg friend would have
denied his voters are such
splendid developments as 13
new schools, three new sewer
plants. libraries, univ ersity
buildings, water works and other
worthwhile public projects.
Such projects as these not
only greatly benefit the COM
munity in which they are con-
structed, but they give jobs to
hundreds Of unemployed. in
crease production throughout the
country and help the country
generally in numerous other di-
rect and indirect ways.
I'm spite Of such help to his
own district, Representative
Smith has strung up row Of
goose.egg votes that makes his
record look as full Of holes as
Swiss cheese"
CALLED OBSTRUCTIONIST
In concluding, Dodd said thai
Smith had consistently sought tt
obstruct the national program fol
recovery, and in his effort to dC
this has opposed street improve
ment in his own home of Alexan
dria, sewerage programs in neigh
boring Arlington county, schools
in Culpeper and other such prof
ects throughout the District.
Despite such a record" Dodd
added, my goose-egg friend
would have you to believe he is
real Democrat supporting the
party's platform. He may be
just a little off color, or has
perhaps been chaStened BY what
he had been through under
Hoover prosperity"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-09-27
Napoleons

It has been said that God eventually "wearied of Napoleon" and that was the end of Napoleon. He had bedeviled Europe too long with his crazy wars and his lust for power. So he was removed from the scene and put where he could do no more harm, with Britain acting as master Of ceremonies and helped by enlightened Germans. Then weakened and impover- ished Europe renewed it's progress toward an intelligent civilization. It might have been said, in the same fashion, that God wearied of strutting Kaiser Wilhelm, or of the militarist regime that he repre- sented, in the last great war.
 Eventually God may also weary of Hit Ter. A supreme egotist, leading a nation suffering at the same time from an inferiority complex and delusions of grandeur, and personifying those quali- ties to a supreme degree, he has 1t in his power today to set the world aflame with wars. He can put back civilization in Europe for generations and cripple an enlightened and humane way of life in countries not actively involved.
 Less than ever before, since human society has become so interwoven the world over, should irresponsible egotists in places of political and military power be allowed to kick around domestic minorities, to indulge in international robbery and murder in the name of patriotism and progress Dictators and militarists will have to be abolished as nuisances, to make way for the true civ ilization of which mankind is capable

Editor, Waterbury Democrat: The "Womens Rebellion" group. which was organized in Suffern, N. F., about four months ago to defeat oil progressive New Deal candidates, has demonstrated. even more clear ly, that 1t really means to rebel against American democracy.
 It has just begun c campaign to disfranchise ell Americans who are poor. And 1t proposes to start off by taking the ballot away from all persons on relief.
 This scheme would set up money as the yardstick to determine who shall vote. It would rob the poor and needy of their constitutional right to vote, thus eventually wiping out the ballot for c third of the nation- flor all except the rich and the Park Avenue "rebeis."
 It's the logical outgrowth of the Tory drive to deny the unemployed and their organization, the Workers Alliance, the right to participate in the Congressional election campaign as other Americans.
 The purpose of this scheme is to perpetuate tho reactionarioS in of- fice--that is, such Tamniany wheel horses as Congressman John ]. O'Connor and such Tory Republi- cans as Bruce Barton.
 Naturally, c disfranchised people cannot elect progressive candidates who will fight for wages-hours legis- lation, adequate relief and farm measures, and for other social iegis- lation.
 It is through such q reactionary system (the poll tax) that the Cot- ton I'd Smiths, the Walter Georges of Georgia and the Tory Democrats of the South have been able to stay in office and stab the Southern people in the back. The negro people in the South are denied the right to vote in brazon violation Of the 18th Amendrnent-- likewise, millions of white workers and ghare- croppers can't vote because they arc too poor to pay the reactionary poll tax.
 Now the "Women's Rebellion" wants to bring this iin-American system to Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersey and to New York. UnwIttingiy, the Tory rebels" have shown how necessary it ig to fight for the election Of progressive ca1di- dates, who will not only advance the interests of oil needy Americans but who will defend to the last ditch the rock-bottoni foundation Of Amefin can democracy.
