fill with his own men not only
the Supreme Court, but the en-
tire Federal judiciary.
This is the pattern of Dictator
ship-the usurpation Of power by
manufactured emergencies; the
circumvention of the legislature;
the capture of the courts. The
pattern calls for the creation of
one dominant party in which all
power is vested. 1t calls for the
indefinite rule of one indispens-
able man.
These are the last steps on
the road to absolute power. These
are the steps whereby the people
of other countries have lost their
freedom. This is the way de-
mocracy has been destroyed. We
must not let that happen here.

Is that what makes him indis-

The New Deal has spent more

others in the art of spending
money.
Is that what makes him indis-

We have figures showing tie
degree Of recovery that had been
made by 18 leading nations of tie

Pledge to Cut Down
U. S. Expenditures Cited.
The Democratic platform of
1882 promised "an immediate and
drastic reduction of governmental
expenditures by abolishing use
less commissions and offices, con-
solidating departments and bu-
reaus and eliminating extrava-
gance." The New Deal candidate
repeated that pledge and here is
the result:
We now have more than a mil
lion employees on the Government
pay roll in the executive depart
ment. That is the highest in our
history. 1t is an increase of 73
per cent over the number of Fed
eral employees in 1888, just after
the third-term candidate took
Office for the first time 1t is
more Federal employees than
Woodrow Wilson needed in 1918
to fight the World War. There
has been an unparalleled increase
in the number of Government
bureaus and bureaucrats under
the third-term candidate.
Is that what makes him indis-
pensable?
While the New Deal has added
hundreds of thousands of en-
ployes to the Government pay
roll the proportion of Govern
ment employees under civil service
has declined 1t has declined
from 80 per cent in the last Re-
publican year to 68 per cent in
the last New Deal year. Under
the third-term candidate, politi-
cal preference has displaced civil
service as the test of eligibility
for Government service.
Is that what makes his indis-
pensable?
Under the third-term candi-
date, men on w. P. A. have been
forced to contribute to New Deal
campaign funds. They have been
forced to sign pledges to vote for

Senate Committee Report
On w. p. A. Charge Quoted.
In 1888 a Senate committee, a
majority of whose members were
Democrats, reported on that sit
uation. The committee said that
organized efforts have been
made and are being made to con-
troll the vote of those on relief
work and that contributions have
been sought and obtained from
Government employees on behalf
of one of the senatorial candi-
dates. 80
And then the committee, the
majority of whose members we're
Democrats, went on to say, and
1 am quoting:
These facts should arouse the
conscience of the country. They
imperil the right of the people to
a free and unpolluted ballot"
Yet the third-term candidate
in a speech in Kentucky in that
same year referred to charges of
political pressure on workers on
relief and said:
personally I am not greatly
disturbed by these stories"
The third-term candidate Is
not disturbed that the right of
the people to a free and unpol-
luted ballot has been imperilled.
Is that what makes him indis-
pensable?
These are precisely the things
that make the third-torm candi-
date Indispensable These are
the things that make him indis-
pensable to the little clique of
power-hungry men who hide be-
hind his smiling mask. A third
term will give them the oppor-
tunity they seek to fasten their
grasp irrevocably upon this
country.
81 Emergencies Declared
In Roosevelt Terms.
The powers of the presidency
are great The advantages of a
President who wants to perpetu-
ate himself in Office are enor-
nous. They were described by
Grover Cleveland in these words:
{" - The patronage of this
great Office. the allurement of
power, the temptations to retain
public place once gained, and.
more than all, the availability a
party finds in an incumbent
when a horde of officeholders,
with zeal born of benefits re-
ceived and fostered by the hope
Of favors yet to come, stand ready
to aid with trained political as
sistance."
And the longer a President re-
mains in Office the stronger are
his powers to keep himself in
Office.
Franklin Roosevelt has taken
into his own hands in eight brief
years more power than any
President of this Nation ever
had. He has declared the ex-
