that one-third of the Demo-
cratic members of the House and
Senate have lost confidence in
the administration and vote
against it regularly. He ques-
toned the ability of a govern
ment ito establish permanent
peace after this war"
At his first stop in Massachusetts,
where he spoke 10 a crowd estimated
at 1000, Gov. Dewey predicted the
election of Gov. Leverett Salsonstall
to the Senate next week. Gov.
Salsonstall welcomed Gov. Dewey
to the Bay State.
Gov. Dewey is also scheduled to
give talks in Springfield and
Worcester during brief stops on his
way to Boston for an address to-
night.
The Boston speech will climax an
all-day effort 10 swing Massachu-
sets Is electoral votes out of the
Democratic column, where they have
remained since 1923.
| Outline of Boston Text.
The Republican nominees secre-
tary, Paul E. Lockwood, made public
the following outline of the Boston
text:
The Governor will discuss in Bos-
ton the question of who will outbid
the One Thousand Club for control
of the captive Democratic party. He
will talk about the subversive ele-
ments that now seek to take over
the country. He will also outline
the principles by which we must live
if We are to be free"
1t was in Chicago a week ago that
Gov. Dewey first told of Democratic
plans to organize a club of 1000
members, each contributing $1,000.
The Republican nominee read let
ter he said was written on the let
terhead of the national Democratic
campaign headquarters in Little
Rock, Ark. containing the statement
: that members of this organization
: undoubtedly will be granted special
: privilege and prestige by party lead
= ers." Gov. Dewey revived the sub
ject again in Buffalo last night
when he declared, there is no 1000
< Club in my party
10000 Hear Speech.
The crowd of 10000 that turned
! out in the Buffalo auditorium was
] enthusiastic and responded with
lusty cheers to the punch" lines in
the early part of his speech, as he
, replied to the Presidents Saturday
night broadcast.
! In challenging Mr. Roosevelt S
ability to establish a prosperous
domestic economy after the war Gov.
Dewey departed from his prepared
text to assert that in its best year
the New Deal only achieved a ma
tional income of $4,000, ,000, 900, as
compared with national income of
S39, 900, ,0000 900 in the 1920s.
When Gov. Dewey entered the
hall in Buffalo the crowd was chant
ing in unison, its time for a
change line the Governor him.
!, self has used in nearly every speech,
and one that never fails to bring a
/ cheer from his supporters.
, Broken Promises Charged
In his Buffalo speech he accused
the President of repeated broken
promises, and sought to show from
the record of Mr.. Roosevelt's eight
prewar years that he cannot keep
his postwar promises on domestic
issues.
Gov. Dewey again summed up his
own program to simplify taxation.
!, ease the tax burden on the small
wage Garner, extend social security
|, coverage, keep a floor under farm
prices, improve the administration
of labor laws and restore harmony
between Congress and the White
2 House.
: The Republican nominee faces a
tough fight in Massachusetts,, but
J the fact that the President also has
I, decided to speak in Boston Saturday
I. night is an indication that the Dem
ocrats are not too confident of what
the Bay State will do.
President Roosevelt carried the
State by 63,l89 in 1882. by 174,103 in
1886 and by 136,822 against Wendell
e L. Willkie four years ago. In 1910
e slightly more than 100000 votes
were cast, of which the President
got lO76,522 and Mr.. Willkie 939.-
: TOO. Recent estimates are that the
e total vote will be as high this year
or even higher when the service hal-
t lots are counted.
: In Buffalo Gov. Dewey continued
J. the battle of satire he and Mr..
e Roosevelt have been carrying on in
e answering each other.
