Aid Of Democrats
To Remove New Deal
Is Asked by Dewey
Continued From First Page }

here is part of determined bid the
Republicans are making for such
border States as Maryland, West
Virginia, Missouri and Oklahoma.
For many years every national
election in this country has been
primarily a contest between Demo-
Gratis and Republicans" Gov. Dewey
began his talk in Baltimore.
Much of the strength of our sys-
tenn of government has been owing
to the existence of two major par
ties, evenly matched and equally
equipped through leadership and
traditions to provide the people
with good government. Although
they divided at election time on the
political issues of the moment. they
had in common one essential thing:
Both Democrats and Republicans
had an abiding faith in our system
of representative government. The
country was safe in the hands of
either party.
To-day, that two-party system
stands in danger. The Democratic
/ party, weakened by IL years of one
man, rule is being taken away from
the Democrats. 1t is being captured
! by coalition of subversive forces,
including New Dealers, members of
the Political Action Committee and
Communists.
Stake in Election.
In past elections when the Dem
ocrats won-the Republicans lost.
/ And when the Republicans won
Democrats lost But it will not be
so in this election. The Democrats
would irrevocably lose their party.
This is not a contest between Dem
ocrats and Republicans. 1t is a
contest between. on the one hand
those who believe in our system
of Government-Rep and
Democrats alike, and on the other
those who have kidnapped the Dem
Ccratlc party in order to change
our system of government.
The only way for the real men,
bership of the Democratic party to
win in this election, the only way
for the Democrats to recapture
their party. is to join with the Re-
publicans in defeating the New
Deal. the Political Action Commit
tee and the Communists.
The election of a Republican
administration next Tuesday will
be a victory for both Democrats
and Republicans who believe in
our system Of Government 1t will
once more restore teamwork and
mutual respect between the Presi-
dent and the peoples representa-
tiVeS in Congress.
MY opponent has consistently
abused the members of Congress so
that today an irrevocable breach
exists between the executive and
legislative branches of our Govern
ment. That breach began with the
arrogant attempt to pack the Su-
preme Court. 1t was Widened bv
the attempt to purge those members
of Congress that resisted the Presi-
dents will and defended the Con-
Stitution. 1t has deepened year
after year until it fared in open
revolt this year.
Mentions Barkley Incident.
You remember how on Washing
tons Birthday, my opponent sent
TO the Congress a veto message so
savage that his own ma ajority leader,
Senator Barkley, rose to denounce
I the words of that message as more
clever than honest and as "a calcu-
lated and deliberate assault upon
! the legislative integrity of every
member of Congress.
The other Senators, regardless of
! party, rallied around Senator Bark
/ ley's declaration Of independence
/ and the members of the House
crowded into the Senate chamber
to shake his hand.
Yet, not content with having
alienated the leaders of his own
party, Mr.. Roosevelt only last Fri
day night, accused the Republicans
who will be the new leaders of Con-
gress of placing political advantage
above devotion to country just be-
cause they publicly pledged them
selves to program for lasting peace.
/ we cannot work out the problems
that lie ahead under a President
who wars with Congress We have
made good start toward the eStab-
llshment of world organization to
prevent future wars. But much re-
mains to be done. In the end it will
be Congress that must approve the
terms and scope of our participa-
ton in this world effort to maintain
peace. In the working out of that
program, there must be mutual con-
fidence and teamwork between the
President and Congress
In his address in Boston last
night, Gov. Dewey unloosed the
strongest attack he has yet made
on the support being given the
Roosevelt fourth-term campaign by
Earl BroWder, Communist leader.
and Sidney Hillman, head of the
National Citizens Political Action
Committee.
Gov. Dewey left the Republican
leaders of Massachusetts imbued
with new hope of carrying the
State, not only because of his de-
nunciation of Communism, but be-
cause of the warm reception he was
given by the people of Boston.
