JUST CALL TT
POLITICS

That gives us further insight into
his technique, since he said almost
the same thing in reply to Wilkes
request for his views on the Overton-
Russell amendment. If it's embarrass-
ing, just tell the press conference that
the whole thing is a lot of politics.
Being objective reporters, they will
have to print your comment without
disclosing that you we're obviously
sidestepping an expression on the mer-
its of the case involved.
Mr.. Roosevelt is a past master of
the art Of shaping his tactics day by
day. He has a lot of time-honored
"lules" and "inviolabe customs" which
he can invoke or discard at moments
notice and he doesn't care a rap that
he is doing it right in front of news
paper correspondents who understand
all his tricks. They probably under
stand, better than any other group
why the whole New Deal is a weird and
dizzying patchwork, for they can OBJ
serve the gyratons Of the master
mind which put it together.

FOrty-One Killed In Traffic
Accidents In August

There were thirty-seven fatal mo-
tor vehicle accidents in the State of
Maryland during the month of Au-
gust, 1910, resulting in the death of
forty-one persons. Six of these acct
dents and deaths occurred in Balti-
more City and thirty-one accidents
resulting in thirty-fve deaths occur
red in the counties. Garrett county
had three personal injury accidents
in which six people were hurt, but no
fatal accidents.
There were forty-eight persons
killed in July, representing a Is per-
cent reduction for the month of Au-
gust over the preceding month.
The highest accident rate was ex-
perienced between the hours of 5 p. m.
and p. NJ, while Saturday followed
by Sunday were the most dangerous
days. Excessive speed and failing
to give right-of-way continued to lead
the accident causes.
There has been a fifteen percent in
crease in fatalities up to September
list, this year, over the corresponding
period of 1899.

"RULE" IGNORED
EIGHTEEN TIMES

The record in this instance has been
made by the newspapers themselves.
in at least 10 instances during the
present year Mr.. Roosevelt at press
conferences has discussed pending leg
islation fully and freely, and has been
so reported in the press.
He started off January IS, according
to the New York Herald Tribune, by
endorsing a bill to correct the census
law, and said, 81 suggest favorable
consideration of the legislation" When
the House Of Representative cut $685.
100000 off the independent offices APP
preparation in an economy move and
eliminated several of Mr.. Roosevelt's
pet bureaus, he spoke sternly at a
press conference, according to the
United Press, and told Congress it
would have to restore the money,
which his New Deal followers pres
emily did.
At two successive press conferences
on March 2 and 5, he raped Congress
and particularly the House Appropri-
ations Committee for delaying con-
struction of a third set of locks at the
Panama Canal, then denounced the
amendment to the census bill by
Senator Charles w. Tobey, of New
Hampshire, to eliminate inquiries by
census takers pertaining to personal
income.
So worked up was he over the Tobey
amendment that, according to the New
York Times Of March 6, he permitted
reporters to quote him directly as fol
lows:
"The whole thing is an obviously
political move and nothing else. Ev.
erybody accredited to Congress knows
that the motive for the opposition is
political"

LOOKING FORWARD
By FRANKLIN MAILMAN
Publicity Director Republican National Committee

Newspapermen who cover the White
House have long since ceased to be
amazed when Franklin D. Roosevelt
makes an assertion at a press confer
ence so palpably in conflict with the
record that it becomes ridiculous. Be
cause of their respect for the office he
holds, newsmen accept some most
surprising statements with no more
than a mirthless smile or a lifted eye
brow, as they recall previous utter
ances in direct conflict with those they
have just heard.
In that spirit they filed out of his
conference on August 80, having just
been told by Mr.. Roosevelt that since
he first came to the Presidency in 1888
he has consistently refused to com
ment on legislation or amendments
while the legislation is pending in
Congress.
He had also accused Wendell Willkie
Of trying to make political capital out
of the national defense CONSUMPTION
bill by his attack on the Overton-Rus-
sell amendment, authorizing seizure Of
manufacturing plants which govern
ment officials decide are not cooperat-
ing in the defense program.

I'VE Need The Votes" Hence The
Rabble Rousing Just At This Time
BY Democratic Speakers

To the Editor Of The Republican.
President Roosevelt's radio talk of
September II, given before the union
labor convention of the teamsters in
Washington, caused more than usual a
wave of sarcastic criticirm, but he
failed to tell his hearers that they were
much undeIpaid. This is exactly what
he told the thousands Of employees in
the automobile industry just four
years ago in Detroit. Of course it is
common knowledge that the workers
in Detroit are about the highest paid
artisans in the motor or any other line
Of industry.
If anyone should ask what basis
there was for such d rabble rousing
screed, the answer was eve need the
votes"
The talk to the teamsters was just
another bid for union labor votes.
Asking the support Of the voters of
a free country is right and proper, but
presuming to pass Judgment on wage
scale in a great industry, of which he
could not possibly have any adequate
information, displayed a colossal ego
tism, to use the mildest word of CEN
sure.
The recent Gallup poll on union labor
shows only "a per cent in favor of
Roosevelt, while four years ago it was
so per cent. Union labor appears to be
in step with the popular trend-away
from the President. He evidently knew
of this loss and selected big union for
his first 100 per cent political talk.

ROOSEVELT DUCKED
THIS ONE

The fact was that Willkie had
slipped Roosevelt a hot potato, as he
had taken a firm stand against the
amendment and had asked the Presi-
dent to declare his own position. 1t
was a fair and reasonable request
concerning proposed legislation of the
greatest public interest. SO Roosevelt
had the alternative of speaking up or
ducking- and he ducked
The barrier he sought to hide behind
just wasn't there. For it is an old trick
Of Mr.. Roosevelt's to discuss pending
legislation whenever he feels like it,
then to recall that "rule," honored
more in the breach than in the obser-
vance, about not commenting on leg
islation, when it suits his purpose to
be eVasive.

Deyitalizing The FIGHT

Washington, Sept. IA.
Tt is natural that the war and its
problems should make seem insignif-
cent many things which a few months
ago doomed very large, indeed. How
ever, it is hardly necessary altogether
to lose our sense of proportion so far

campaign as is suggested, unpuestion-
ably, it would suit the New Dealers
one hundred per cent. It would fit
sweetly into the Roosevelt strategy,
as approved by those broad-minded
patriots, Mr.. Eddie Kelly and Mr..
Eddie Flynn, with both Of whom the
President is in constant communica-
ton. The New Dealers are delightedly
saying-and it is true-that Mr..
Roosevelt is conducting the slickest
campaign ever known. Posing as so
absorbed by the great problems of the
Presidency that he is aloof from all
thought of politics, he is skillfully
directing his own fight. with personal
attention to such details as sending
for little local politicians to come to
the White House, approving the
speeches of his spokesman and ad-
vising as to the committees finances
as well as its publicity.
And all this is being done behind
the screen of the defense program
the Presidents public position, over
which the Messrs. Kelly and Flynn
are particularly enthusiastic, being
that he has no time for politics and
political speeches are unpatriotic. Of
course, it is slick strategy, but it is
also hypocritical and deceptive. And
a polite campaign in which no unkind
words are said and no strong attack
made would be Of immense aid in
making it successful. 1t would mean
that Mr. Roosevelt's opponents would
be debarred from exposing the false
pretense of his non-political attitude;
that they could not refer to the falery
of the draft" at Chicago, in which
he connived.

PICKING FRUITS

The first important point is to
choose fresh, high quality fruits.
When they are to be used whole, have
the fruits of uniform size so the pick
ling liquid will season them evenly.
See that your spices are of the very
best quality. Those left from last year
will not have full flavor, unless they
have been kept in alright contain
ers.
Good quality, fresh vinegar is best;
and cider vinegar has the most flavor.
For most pickles you'll want granu-
lated sugar rather than brown sugar.
Picked peaches, pears and crabap-
pies are made in much the same way
as preserves except the syrup is a

For example, advocates have now
arisen who insist upon muzzling the
spokesman on both sides. No one is to
say anything disagreeable or unkind
about anyone else. Everybody is to
wear gloves and use the soft pedal.
Issues which generate heat are to be
avoided. Unpleasant subjects are to be
barred. No one is to speak harshIy of
anyone else. All this is urged because
of the Hitler menace and the necessity
for united country after the election,
no matter who is chosen President.
###
Granting, first, the necessity for a
united country in the face Of foreign
foe, and granting, second, that those
who thus counsel the people are high
minded, public spirited and detached,
nevertheless their advice is partisan
in its effect and unjustifed by the
facts. In the first place, apprehensions
lest robust campaign in which
spades are called spades, real blows
exchanged and the full truth told,
result in a dangerously divided people
are unfounded
###
This is not that kind of country and
never has been. Whether Mr. Willkie
or Mr.. Roosevelt is elected, in all
matters Of national defense, the next
President will have the solid support
of the people just as surely if the
campaign is hot as if it is lukewarm.
Devitalizing the issues is not going
to promote national unity after the
election. If there is the threat of
foreign foe, the country as a whole
will be back Of its President, regard
less of whether the campaign is rough
or whether it is conducted with the
nice decorum of boarding-school
debate.
No one wants a dirty fight, but that
is no reason for wanting denatured
viz AIetllSuduL lies are, OIL course,
abhorrent, but except from the ire
sponsible and unimportant, there is no
indication that these will be used by
either side. And the blatant name
callers, like Mr.. IcIes, do little harm
in fact, answer themselves. No bet
ter evidence that strong feeling and
strong words will not divide the people
in the face Of national danger could be
had than the unity with which Mr..
Roosevelt's defense proposal has been
adopted by Congress and supported by
newspapers and individuals who dis
trust him personally and believe his
policies have dismally failed. He has,
in fact, gotten more effective support
from them than from some Of his
own ardent aides, desperately trying
to keep him in the White House.

academic terms; that they could not
make clear the fact that Mr. Roose-

his election hope depends upon, the
