Club gave its conception OF the
spirit of fear" The American busi-
ness man is shown to be afraid OF
his shadow; William Green and
John L. Lewis, labor leaders, afraid
Of each other; the farmer afraid of
his friend in Congress; the Dies
Investigating Committee afraid OF
everything; the Democrats afraid
they cannot win with Roosevelt
and afraid they cannot win with
out him; the Republicans afraid they
cannot pay the Democratic bills;
European dictators afraid of the
day when fear runs out" The con-
clusion is that "the only thing we
have to fear is fear ITSELF" while the
chorus chants:
"Hell's a-pop-pin everywhere
Hell's a-pop-pin here.

No concern was reported in Chi

a four-Week industrial supply was
on hand. Virtually all Eastern Ken
lucky mines were closed, but several
were working in Western Kentucky
under an extension agreement.
Indiana mines were working under

to Find" these words:
What we need for the G. O. P.
What we must have for victory.

A man without a record,
He would be just right"
President Roosevelt made an off,

There Is music in the. air. And

they seem. They couldn't be. Be
not afraid. All We need is conf
dence-or even better, an occasional

In all fairness" Mr.. Clapper con-
t1nued, I'VE should caution you that
times are changing. The Republic
ans are going to carry the country
IN 1910 if Tom Dewey has to put
every Democrat in Jail. They don't
intend to leave anything for the
Democrats except the Supreme
Court.

Yes, times are changing. Harry
Hopkins has moved to Iowa-in

moved-in the flesh-to the right
Congress now is allowed to write
Its own laws-subject to the advice
and consent of Jack Garner.
There are no more rabbits in the

IsolationistS in Congress, led by

Of their advocacy of neutrality.

Senator Bennett c. Clark of Mis-
souri,.
Borah pleaded with them to re-
main on Guam, or to "go back an6
to vote to go down the road tc

House safe for democracy in 194O.'
A calendar was found showing tht
year to be 1910, resulting in a gen.
