its patriotism in this time of great
peril. We shall continue to support
the President of the United States
as commander-in-chi in all reso-
lutions to win the war. However,
we would be unpatriotic if we fail
to criticize mistakes which enter
the prosecution of this war. The,
criticism, however, will be con-
structive and not destructive"
Peoples Interest First
Mr.. Buck said that in dealing
with problems such as imitation,
high cost of living, agricultural
needs, non-defense spending, tax
alton, survival of small business,
production of synthetic rubber,
drafting of men for war produc-
tion, he would consider first the
best interests of the people.
"If the President" he continued.
"in advocating any legislation, is
making what honestly consider
mistake, 1 shall not hesitate to say
So"
Mr. Buck said that we have lack
ed economy, 'one of our greatest
domestic issues" for 10 years and
promised to make every effort to-
establish a ceiling on taxes"
He reemphasized that he stood
for the right of labor to unite and
bargain collectively, "for this is
democratic process" f
Shocked By Statement
Secretary of State Earle D. Will
ey, nominee for U. S. Representa-
tive, said he had been shocked to
hear that he and Mr.. Buck would
obstruct the President in the war
effort"
Judge Wiley said, ,"I can only
say that there is no basis for the |
statement which was made over
the radio about 10 days ago. add
ing that if elected his first thought
would be the welfare of the coun-
try.
He warned that there were those
among high administration officials
who hold that the great powers con-
centrated in the hands of the Presi-
dent should not be returned to the
people and the Congress after the
war.
For my own part" Judge Wiley
said, my position is that the rights
of the American people must be
to them and to their Con-
gress after the war, and that they
are not to remain concentrated in
the hands of any one"
No Monopoly On Patriotism
Chief Deputy Attorney General
Clair j. Killoran, candidate for at
torney general, accused "the local
New Deal candidates" of "prattling
long and vociferously about pa
triotism as if patriotism was their
81 shall not permit their idle,
assinine, and stupid
statements to go unchallenged. /
shall not permit the Republican
Party and it's thousands of adher-
ents to be relegated by these New
Deal candidates to a treasonous
category.
Let us examine their American
ism. They tell us that they will
follow the President in his every
effort and every whim. The Repub-
lican Party proclaims that it will
follow and support our Command
er-in-Chief in every proper effort
toswin the war, but that it will be
the watchdog of democracy and
that no by-produet of the
war shall deprive us of the return
of our essential liberties. l leave it
to the people to determine which
is the more American, the more
patriotic stand" '"ra
