LOOKING FORWARD
By FRANKLIN wAITMAN
Publicity Director. Republican National
Committee

Having forced his denomination
for a third term, President Roose
FeIt 0a 0appayentls1 IidM proposes Il
stoop to smear tactics against thos'
Democrats whose fealty to theil
eCuntry's traditions prevents then
from abiectly bowling 20 his will.
Just as the Presidents New Deal
cohorts at the Chicago Convention
booed the venerable Senator Carter
Glass when he quoted Thomas jeff
erson against a third term and just
as they jeered Representative Elmer
j. Ryan of Minnesota when he re-
called the party's denunciation of a
third term in 1896. so now Mr. Roose-
Welt slurs Democrats who dare op-
pose him.
When Lewis Douglas. former Di-
rector of the Budget in the Roosevelt
Administration. and John W. Hanes,
former Under Secretary of the Trea-
sury in the Roosevelt Administra-
ticn. declared themselves for Wen
dell Willkie, Mr. Roosevelt asserted
their minds ran more to dollars
than to humanity"
In doing so Mr. Roosevelt blithely
ignored the fact that only last De-
cember when Mr.. Hanes left the
Treasury, he received from the Pres
ident Dear Johnnie" letter, prais-
ing him for his record of good work
done at personal sacrifice. for which
you should be honored.
New Deal Humanitarians
But let's pass that by and take a
serious look at this new slur which
the President casts at those Demo-
Gratis who refuse to goose-step to his
ambition for perpetuation in office. 1t
is fair question to ask how many
of Mr.. Roosevelt's associates and
appointees to office are more inter-
ested in dollars than IN humanity"
For instance, is young Jimmy
Roosevelt more interested in dol |
lars than humanity" II this son of !
the President ever made a contri- |
button to humanity, we have yet to |
hear about it. At the ripe old age |
of 80 years, he now tells the press
that looking after his investments |
occupies most of his time From |
whence did these investments come?
Read Country Squire in the White |
House by John T. Flynn, one of the
eountry's really outstanding liber-
ais. Mr.. Flynn tells us that this
young mans earnings since 1888
when his father entered the White
House have average more than S50,-
900 year from enterprises in one
way or another under obligation to

ment
Jimmy ROOseVelt's Clubs
Pretty good, it must be said, for a
young man who fiunked his examina-
tions at Harvard and spent only one
year in law school. President Roose-
Nelt once said something about gen
tlemen who sat in well7stocked
clubs" In passing it might. be ifoted
that 80 year old Jimmy in Who's
Who in America lists himself as a
member Of the Harvard Club: the
Bankers Club of New York; the Jeff-
efson Island Club; the Eastern
Yacht Club; and the University
Club; the Metropolitan Club, and the
Burning Tree Club. the last three of
What about some Of Mr.. Roose-
yelt's appointments to Office? Did
Mr.. Roosevelt appoint James Crom-
well husband Of Doris Duke the
richest girl in the world, as Minister
to Canada because of this playboy's
interest in hunanity?" Or did he
give him this diplomatic post be-
cause his wife sweetened the Demo-
cratic kitty in the 1886 campaign to
the tune Of $4,000.
