saying nothing he had said in the
campaign "transcends in import
ance this covenant with the tax
payers"
That was the pledge" said
Dewey. This is what happened:
I'm its next fiscal year the New
Deal spent nearly $500, 900, 900,
an increase of more than $4,000
100000 over the expenditures in
the last Republican year"
THAT was not a temporary
breach of faith" Dewey said, 1T
was merely the beginning of a
continuing breach of faith"
He went on to declare that the
increased costs could not be
charged to relief and recovery
measures because after eliminat-
ing every relief and recovery item,
the cost of the national govern
ment under the New Deal has
gone up two and one-quarter bill
lion dollars, or Sc per cent"

The subject of Dewey's address
was THE Moral Issue" He spoke
at a mass meeting of Missouri
State Republican central commit
tee in st. Louis auditorium.
In his speech he said he would
continue on the theme of govern
mental integrity Thursday night
in an address to be delivered in
Chicago Stadium.
The lack OF integrity he charged
to the New Deal, Dewey said in
St Louis, is shown in three prin-
cipal ways - broken promises,
contempt for the constitution, and
fragrant abuse of power" He add
ed that until these things are
rooted out, we cannot make prog
ress in this country"
Sees Broken Pledge
Dewey declared Preside
Roosevelt, by his own words, ac-
cepted the 1892 Democratic plat
form 100 per cent" and then six
weeks later repudiated its plan to
preserve a sound currency at all
hazards by taking the country
off the gold standard.
THE solemn covenant with the
people was willfully broken j.
without one word of explanation
without one word of regret, :"
said Dewey. He added:
The erosion of character in this
administration began within six
weeks after it took office. II has
continued ever since, wearing
away the foundations Of govern
mental integrity"
Makes Contrast
Again turning TO the Demo-
cratic platform OF 1882, Dewey
pointed to its promise Of "a saw
ing Of not less than rs per cent
in the cost of the federal govern
ment," and quoted Roosevelt as
