Violations of the mo politics" rule
In the w. P A. will not be tolerated,
Howard o. Hunter, acting COM
missioner of works projects, an
nounced last night in a circular to
w. P. A. workers in which he said :
Voting is your own business.
Keep it that way"
This warning. customary at cleo
ton time, is being put in the hands
of each worker with their pay
checks.
Mr.. Hunter emphasized that you
are entitled to vote, as you choose"
and said every effort will be made
to arrange working hours so that
those desiring to vote may do so.
The circular explains that it is
against the law to solicit w. P. A.
employees for campaign funds and
admonishes administrative and SUI
pervisory employees that they are
limited to private expression of
public views.

Touching on the Selective Service
Act, Col. Munson said. in answer to
a question, There arc three rea-
sons why the National Guard could
be sent beyond the borders of the
country. They are given in the ia
nous opinion by Attorney General
Wickersham as, % to execute the
law; CD to suppress rebellion, and
90 to repel invasion
Col. Munson said these reasons
were the official version. of accepted
military law.
Col Munson gave g. detailed de-
scription of the functions and uses
of courts-martial and explained the
well-defined difference between the
laws of military occupation and
martial law. He explained military

ritory may or may not maintain the

commanders are practically abso-

Neither Jefferson nor his con-

we have seen billions of dollars that
he could disperse at will, with places
by the hundreds of thousands for

Tact Is Replacing

Theory in Army
Col. Munson's Lecture
Audience Is Told Fewer
Courts-MurtiuI Result

Col. F. Granville Munson of the
Judge Advocate Generals Depart
ment of the Army, last night said
the Army was leaning away from
the Prussian system of strict disci-
pline and severe punishment, substi-
tuting tactfuiness and freedom
without sacrificing discipline.
Speaking at the second of a series
of six lectures on military law at
Catholic University, Col Munson
quoted figures from the Office OF
Judge Advocate General Allen w.
Gullion which showed an approx
mate two-thirds decrease in the
number Of courts-martial recorded
by the Army from 1881 until 1910.
Col. Munson mentioned his ex-
perience at Fort Schuyler, N. Y.
during the World War, when men
were in training for overseas serv-
ice. He told of the numerous in
fractions under his predecessor in
command of the post, when as many
as Is men at time were confined
in the guardhouse from the post

He said he repealed many of the
former post regulations, which prac-
tically confined the men to the pos,
at all times, and managed to OBJ
tain two motion pictures a week fol

Ziegfeld. This method Of keeping
the men contented, while maintain

Cudahy Calls Campaign
In Crisis a Calamity
BY the Associated Press.

by lne hsSOCldteQ f1eSs.
LAWRENCE, Kans., Oct. 19.-John
Cudahy, United States Ambassador
to Belgium, asserted last night that
1.-The defeat Of Roosevelt will be pro-
claimed abroad as a lack of con-
fidence in him and in his admins
tration of foreign affairs"
Il come to you shocked by the
calamity that has descended upon
a continent" he said in a prepared
radio speech, land find myself re-
shocked by the calamity of a politi-
cal campaign at such a time"
Mr.. Roosevelt's defeat, Mr. Cudahy
asserted, would result in the spec
tacle of rudderless ship of state.
You must accept the proposition that
if Roosevelt is defeated, you will
have q President-less country for
nearly two months, while all Europe
is aflame with spreading war. I
cannot understand the conscience or
the sense of responsibility of those
who are willing to take such a
chance at a time like this, nor the
contemplation of Democratic
Senate with a Republican President,
if Willkie is elected"

ing more distinguished that con-
vention, or extinguishes it, in the
opinion of thinking people, than
those boos heard in 1910 at one
whose name had ever been received
with veneration and acclaim, and
one who had measured up in his life
to the Hottest heights of patriotism.
But Jefferson established the prin-
ciple of two-term limit for Presi-

quiesced in it, and Andrew Jackson,
who, until the Democratic conven-

Democrat of all times, favored it.
Fear of Personal Power
Held Reason for Tradition.
All the great Democrats from that
day to this have been in accord.
None has dissented. The reasons
were plain. 1t was the fear of per-
sonal power in one man, the fear
of personal power which would lead
that one man to excuses. Power is
a heady wine. Few human beings
can resist it, and certainly there
has been no evidence, or even desire
of resistance in the gentleman who
seeks it now. He has gathered unto
himself more power thany any ruler
on earth has, save in the totalitarian
governments. And there has been
no instance when any part of it has
been returned. In his course at the
Democratic convention at Chicago,
his direction of its proceedings, and
his subsequent actions as its third
term candidate, he has contributed
a perfect illustration of every danger
and evil which Jefferson foresaw so
clearly, and against which he warned
his countrymen so earnestly.

I'VE Cannot Be False
To All These Patriots"


To All These Patriots"
Think Of Jefferson the philosopher
and thinker. who, at the beginning
was resident of another continent
and how he wrote continuously and
pleadingly, and then established this
principle. Think of his trials and
disappointments and indomitable
courage that succeeded in implant-
ing in every American heart his
ideals. Are we to forget him also?
And how about Old Hickory, with
matchless courage. and his heart
filled with patriotic fervor, who for
seven long years preached the faith
that was in him, until Buchanan
wrote in 1929:
The example of Washington,
which has been followed by Jeffer-
son, Madison and Monroe. has for
ever determined that no President
shall be more than once reelected.
This principle has now become as
sacred as if it were written in the
Constitution"
We cannot be false to all these
and other patriots, living or dead,
who with singleness of purpose to
preserve intact our liberties, fought
for this principle
We cannot be and we will not be.
And SO when We come to the
judgment seat how shall we answer
for our precious country, for the
preservation of its pristine glory, for
the protection of the liberties of our
citizens? Shall we answer. trem-
bling-"we had not the courage be-
cause the power was great and over
whelming, millions upon millions, on
the other side, and we fell before
them" Or shall we answer thus
and say-"we stood up like brave
men and fought the good fight. and
with the aid of God we won it,"

Two nationally-known law school
deans, James M. LandiS of Harvard

special advisers to Secretary of the
Treasury Henry Morgenthau, jr. on
the Bank of America case and other

today.
The treasury, which regulates ma
tional banks though the comptroller
Of the currencys office, and the
bank. which is one of the country's
largest, have been engaged in a
dispute for a long time. The con-
troversy, it was understood, involves
differences over methods of eval-
uating the banks assets, particu-
larly its real estate holdings. Bank
of America and its branches serve
many Pacific coast communities.
Because of the complex nature
of the Bank of America case, Nor
genthau wanted the benefit of out
side legal advice as well as that of
the treaSury's legal staff. In addi-
ton. there were legal problems at
tached to other banking matters.
Hence. the United Press was in
formed, Morgenthau called on Lam
dis and Garrison for assistance.

pone the reopening of parliament,
scheduled for Jan. 20, until Feb. /.
nearly a week after expiration of
