and Democrats alike, and on the
other hand those who have kid
naped the Democratic party In or
der to change our system Of gov
ernment.
The only way for the real menu
bers Of the Democratic party to win
this election. the only way for them
to recapture their own party, Is to
join with the Republicans in defeat.
ing the New Deal, the Political Ac-
ton Committee and Communism all
In one; because the election of a
Republican administration next
Tuesday will be a great victory for
both Republicans and Democrats.
It will be a victory for all of those
who believe in our system Of govern
ment. This will once more restore
teamwork between the President
and the peoples representatives in
Congress. My opponent has consist
emily abused the members Of Con-
gress; he has attempted to purge
them, and today there is an irrevoc-
able breach between the executive
and legislative branches of our Gov
ernment.
Breach With Congress Traced.
The breach began with the arro-
CANT attempt to pack the Supreme
Court; it was widened by the at
tempt to purge the members Of Con-
gress. 1t has deepened year after
year until 1t flared in open revolt
this year. You remember what hap
pened.
Mr.. Roosevelt chose Of all days
this year Washington's birthday to
send q veto message so savage that
his own majority leader Senator
Barkley, rose to denounce that veto
message as more clever than honest
and as a calculated and deliberate
assault on the integrity OF every
member of Congress.
The other Senators, regardless OF
party, rallied around Senator Bark
ley's declaration Of independence
and members of the House crowded
In the Senate to shake his hand.
Now not satisfied with having
alenated the leader of his own
party, Mr.. Roosevelt started out last
Saturday night to insult the Repub-
licans who will be the new leaders
In Congress. On the radio he made
a savage accusation against them OF
placing political advantage above
devotion to country, just because
they publicly pledged themselves to
q program Of lasting peace.
We can't work out the problems
which lie ahead of us under Presi-
dent who wars at every turn with
Congress. We have made a gooC
start toward the establishment of q
world organization to prevent future
wars. but more remains to be done
In the end it will be Congress thai
must approve the terms and scope
of our participation in this worlc
effort to maintain peace.
Team Work Employed.
In the working out of that pro-
gram there must be mutual conn.
dence and teamwork between tht
President and Congress. If We arr

do.
Now I have read, I have read very
carefully every speech my opponent
has made in this campaign. I hav.
yet to find out one single thing
that he intends to do, or propose o.
offers to do, that is different from
the program which failed from 193'
to 1910, in all those peacetime years
Not one single concrete proposition
Now the fact of the matter is thai
we know that program failed, be-
cause we still have 10000 900 un.
employed in 1910. Therefore, where
do we go?
I have laid out a specific, con.
crete program from Philadelphia t.
Seattle, and from Seattle down tt
Los Angeles. and back up to Boston
We have built it brick by brick, deal.
ing with every single subject Of oul
Government, and I may say thai
that program involves a decided anc
radical revision of all the program.

Republican Program.
Our program involves, first, restor-
ing harmony with the Congress; sec.
ondly, devoting the whole effort oi
this administration toward full en-
+ployment. We have 100000 young
men and women coming to maturity
every year in this country, a hall
million new people who want jobs.
