TOMMON sense: Good, sound, or
~ binary sense; good judgment;
prudence in estimating and monog-
ing affairs; free from emotional bias
and intellectual subtlety; horse
sense.-Webster's Dictionary.
BACK TO COMMON SENSEl
That is what the country is de
handing.
And, Judging by the character,
the political record, the speech of
acceptance and his first general
newspaper interview, that is just
what Thomas E. Dewey is prepared
to give the American people during
his administration - COMMON
SENSE.
That is the one fundamental and
necessary quality that has been en-
tirely absent in the New Deal admin
istration of the affairs of this
country for IL years, both in its
domestic and foreign policies.
We have been led to our present
domestic pass by theories, expert
ments, globalunacies, metaphysical
Phi. G.'s, pseudo idealists and poppy
pipe mirage makers.
We have had everything but
common sense.
Thomas E. Dewey fits in perfectly
with the dictionary's definition of
common sense
He personally has good, sound,
ordinary sense.
He has shown good judgment"
as district attorney and governor.
He has exhibited prudence" in
managing the business of the people
Of New York state.
LIE is free of emotional bias, y
L and of those forms of intel
lectual subtlety" which have con
fused the plain, everyday people of
America for IL years-Gov Dewey
has none at all.
In his approach to all problems
he has revealed that every essence
of our American genius which the
dictionary calls "horse sense"
Note the common sense in his
answer to the following questions
put to him by the newspapermen at
Chicago:
1-"American boys serving in a
permanent army under some unseen
figure functioning as an international

CANDIDATE ROOSEVELTS letter to National
" Democratic Chairman flanagan announcing
his candidacy for fourth term, besides its in
sstence that he is running for president as COM
mander in chief of the Army and Navy-an Office
for which Candidate Roosevelt is not running as
there is no such elective Ofice-cOntalns also an
other very, very curious statement to wit:
81 would not run in the usual partisan political
sense"
This is a sur on our democratic partisan
political way of doing things.
Besides, in what other way can Candidate
Roosevelt run, seeing that he is NOT The
PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF ALL THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, but the candidate of
political partisan party which is, mistakenly,
called the Democratic party" Mistakenly be-
cause he is really the candidate mainly of New
Dealers, who are not only decidedly political but
INTENSELY partisan.
TIE IS also the candidate of the Communist
II Political Association, which under the name
of the Communist Party of America was declared
bv Candidate Roosevet's own attorney general to
be a foreign directed and revolutionary (hence
reasonably organization.
Not running in the usual partisan political
sense? Why, then, does Candidate Roosevelt &C.
cept the Endorsement of the partisan and political
party, the aforesaid Earl Browder CPA and all
the partisan en-minded rifraff in the country?
In fact, Candidate Roosevelt could not have
been nominated for fourth term except by palt-
sans and politicians ;,
WHY then. that curious phrase that 81 would
not run in the usual partisan political sense
TT CANNOT be that Candidate Roosevelt con-
l ceives himself, in his growing sense-of-power
to be another George Washington, who was twice
the unanimous choice of the American people!
There was, and can be, only ONE Washington
in this country.
Candidate Roosevelt, however. was NOT the
choice of all the peOple-not by many millions-ln
1892. 1896, 1910 nor will he be in 1914
He has been nominated and elected three
times Nominated in fact, four tmes) by partisan
political conventions and he has been opposed IN
the traditional American manner, by partisan po-
litical movements.
WHY. then does Candidate Roosevelt seek to
transcend the usual American way of running
Is he in favor of abandoning our two-party
system for the one-party system OF Russia, Ger
many and Mussons Italy?
That is the only reluctant inference that an
intelligent mind can draw from his statement that
81 would not run in the usual partisan political
sense"
rs HE asking Gov Dewey to withdraw as a candi-
L date in his favor as Communist Earl Browder
has withdrawn in favor of Candidate Roosevelt?
Or is he going to repudiate the nomination of
the partisan political convention at Chicago and
announce that he is running for fourth term as
commander in chief of the army and navy and
that. as there can be only one commander in chief
of the army and navy, all other, candidates for
president are guilty of usurping his title?
Every president of the United States has run
for office except Washington in 1.-The usual

CRUMBLlNG CURRENCY


When the nazis introduced their
last total mobilization" decree on
September ID, part of the plan to free
new manpower was the combing out
of administrative agencies. The Ger
mans announced that this would in
volve considerable simplifications"
of the price control apparatus.
Apparently these simplifications"
have been threatening to play hob
with the German price structure, for
the domestic press recently quoted the
president of the eau Economic Cham
Der for Saxony as demanding that
merchants adjust their prices even
without complete and detailed knowl-
edge of the regulations" He declared
that "in spite of the reduction of per-
sonnet in the Office of Price Control
we must continue to adhere to the
control of prices so as to keep our
currency stable"
The rise in German note circulation
has been greatly accelerated since the
beginning of the total mobilization"
program. On September Is, at the
beginning of the program, note cir
culation stood at 40,170,000,000 (b)
Reichsmarks. On October 70, accord
ing to the Muenchner Neuste Mach
of 4,7O3,730,000 (b) RIM, an increase
of more than 10 per cent in just about
