"Quite obviously he is piqued be-
cause the national legislature is no
longer rubber stamp and refuses
to do his bidding. He therefore
seeks to discredit its membership in
the eyes of the American people in
an effort to destroy its independ-
ence and the confidence of our cit
liens in it as an integral part of the
government
fMany of us recall that similar
tactics were used to smear the then
sitting Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States in his vain attempt to
pack that court some years ago.
HE will fail now as he did then
because the Congress stems from
the people. In criticizing us he is
indirectly condemning the Ameri-
can voter and the people are cogni-
zant of what is going on behind the
scenes in Washington today.
Just as there was a fight between
the Supreme Court and the Presi-
dent, so will there be a battle be-
tween the executive and legislative
branches of our government. This
battle will resolve itself into a ques-
ton of whether we will retain our
republican form of government and
will be one of the paramount issues
of the forthcoming national cam
paign. If the President should win
in his effort to make Congress mere
ly the mouthpiece of the executive
a body completely subservient to the
White House, then that form of gov
eminent will be destroyed.
II have too much confidence in
the intelligence of our citizens to
fear the outcome of this fight. They
are not now nor will they ever be
willing to scrap the Constitution
and destroy their freedom This
will be demonstrated beyond any
measure of doubt next November.
