and is galloping down the highway
shouting, THE COMMUNISTS ARE
COMING"
The people of the United States
will never adopt a different form
of government, unless they are
forced to do SO by the money barons,
who would deny them the right to
live in "decency and health" in a
country that can produce o than
twice as much as the population can
possibly consume.
Wall Street, which can no longer
dictate the interest rate that bust
ness pays on investments, is dis
gruntled with this meddling govern
ment that wont let it exact its full
tribute from the principalities that
constitute their United States of
America" But being tired of Roose-
welt is a poor excuse for stranding
hundreds of thousands of American
families, who are victims of HOO
vER'S DEPRESSION, and who are
out of work through no fault of their
own. They do not wish to see the
country return to the policies of
Hoover; subsidies and tax refunds
for the rich; contempt for the poor;
starvation for the jobless.
They say SAVE THE CONSTI-
TUITION; we say, save labor from
economic slavery; save the home
owner from losing his shelter; save
children from going to bed hungry;
save the old people from the dis
grace of the poorhouse and save the
workers of America from SWEAT
SHOPS.
They cry, BALANCE THE BUD
GET" Balance who's budget? The
increase in value of stock, on the
stock market today, compared to
what it was in 1881 and 1882, will
do much more than balance the
budget.
If the managers of a corporation
were to create a debt of a million
dollars in an advertising campaign
and thereby raised the value of the
holdings of their corporation by over
five million dollars, would the
stockholders accuse them of not
balancing the budget? They would
not; they would feel that they were
wonderful managers.
The United States is a huge cor
poration and if the President, by
the expenditure of twenty billions
of dollars, can increase the national
wealth by over one hundred billion
dollars, should he be accused of not
balancing the budget?
Let the coalition of Democrats and
Republicans take the political des-
tiny of this nation from the hands of
the masses and invest it again with
the Eastern moneyed interests: let
them plant it under the same stand
ard that nearly wrecked a mighty
nation in 1881, 1882 and 1888; let
them count their votes and chuckle
in the cloakrooms with glee; but let
them remember that there will be
a day of reckoning as HUMAN
MISERY KNOWS NO REASON
AND NO POLITICAL PARTY.
The man in the White House to-
day is not the sick and tired indi-
vidual that Wilson was the last few
years of his administration. Presi-
dent Roosevelt is very strong, physi-
cally and mentally, he is very cour-
ageous and has the ability to direct
the destiny of his party, in the way
that is right and just and whether
or not he wishes to serve another
term as President, his influence with
the rank and file of his party is as
strong as it ever was and when all
is said and done, they are the ones
who cast the VOTES THAT ELECT
THE PRESIDENT, ALSO THE
MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE AND
SENATE.
