his country the best opportunity to
secure needed reforms and social leg
Station | was in the forefront of the
light against the corrupt Harding ma

md Hoover administrations left much |
o be desired. Eight years ago / /
worked hard for Roosevelt and l ap-
'ealed to the voters of this county |
o vote straight Democratic ticket |
o our President would have a work
ng majority everywhere.
Today, l am of the opinion that the
democratic party has turned into a
orrupt selfish, dictatorial regime,
eeking to perpetuate itself in office
nd having scandals and administra-
I've abuses just as bad, if not worse
nan its predecessors.
| have concluded that no President

srve more than single term. No

ocesses than public officials who /
dulge in these tactics to ensure their i
election. n
The people of France who now are I

pable of acting in an emergency S

The people of England are learning t.

Here in America we have a chance d.
use the ballot. The voters in the D.
