method, we'll suppose your boy /!
attacking candidate named Dewey
He would crate something like this
II charge Mr.. Dewey with tiret
defeatism. I charge him with lacl
Of faith. will give you his yer,
words to prove it, Speaking II
Louisville, he said land I quote)
We do not intend to have thire

not make good that resolve by an!
effort. " Our problem is not hov

that is easier said than done. War

Convicted.
See, out of Dewey's own mouth
your boy will have convicted hin
of being a defeatist. OF course youl
boy also will have put a terrible
dent In his own integrity. Tht
words are actually the words Of
Dewey, but they are not all of hi.
words. What Dewey said in Louis.
vile follows:
I'VE do not intend to have a thirc
world war. This time must be the
last time. We know that we can
not make good that resolve by any
effort to withdraw or isolate our
selves from the rest Of the world
Our problem Is not how to stay out
OF future war. Our problem Is tc
prevent future war before it hap
pens, instead of getting into it after
1t has happened
"Of course, that is easier said
than done. Wars have had a habit
Of recurring regularly through all
the centuries. But when war comes
to us, 1t brings forth united Amer
lean effort" Etc, etc, etc.
These sentiments expounded by
Dewey are sentiments with which
We all agree. But your boy GER
tainly could make a hash out OF
them If he used the method illus.
trated above. 1t is a method thai
Dewey himself has been using ir
this campaign.
One instance: In Oklahoma City
on September 25. Dewey charged
President Roosevelt with lack oi
foresight in preparing the country
for war. To prove his case Dewey
said: I'm 1887 he (the President)
said, and I quote: How happy We
are that the circumstances of tn,
moment permit us to put our money
into bridges and boulevards
rather than into huge standing
armies and vast implements OF
war"
This Is perfect example for
your boy to follow, if he's that kind
of boy. For the speech from
which Dewey quoted was the Presi-
dents famous fighting speech in
Chicago on October S, 1887, the
speech which caused such a great
outcry from all who opposed his
efforts to prepare the country fol-
war. The words Dewey quoted were
the Presidents Words-with impor.
