White-C Collar Man and
Farmer, Bricker Says
BY the Associated Press.


PUEBLO, Colo, Oct. 24.-Gov
John w. Bricker today pictured the
white collar worker and the farmer
as "the neglected man" of America,
and said that for the sake of the
Nations economic and social stabil-
ity something must be done for
them.
They have been outraged by Gov
ernment extravaganza, dictation,
and the double-talk of New Deal
ers," the Republican nominee for
Vice President asserted in speech
here.
They accept all this as a part
of the war program-but they ex-
pect Government to have some plans
for them when the war is over.
They do not want to be neglected
forever"
The Ohio Governor wound up his
two-day bid for Colorado's six elec-
toral votes with stops also at Colo
RADIO Springs, Walsenburg and
Trinidad.
Favors Senate Retaining Power.
Gov. Bricker declared at a press
conference in Denver yesterday that
he believed the Senate should con-
tinue to ratify any treaties with
other nations He took this position
when asked for comment on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's suggestion that
Americas representative at the
peace conference be endowed in ad-
vance, by constitutional means, |
with authority to act.
Il am in favor of living within
the Constitution and carrying on
negotiations within constitutional
power" he said.
He asserted he did not favor
giving great blanket authority toI
the President in international affairs
any more than I am in respect to
national and domestic affairs"
THE Congress of the United
States-the New Deal Congress-
almost ruined this country by giving
him unlimited power and a blank
check" Gov. Bricker added.
Crowd Packs Theater.
Speaking last night before crowd
that packed the Broadway Theater
in Denver. Gov. Bricker declared
President RooSevelt's utterances
were marked by a consistent pat
tern of contradictions"
Perhaps" he remarked, "he
merely changes his mind frequently
Perhaps he lacks the vision
to foresee the direction trends are
taking.
"On the other hand, perhaps it is
in keeping with the policy. We
planned it that way There is some
reason to think So"
Gov. John c. Vivian of Colorado
introduced Gov Bricker to the Den
yer audience, estimated at 1000
persons.
In his Pueblo speech Gov. Bricker
said the New Deal in its youth
talked much about "the forgotten
man." although mo one quite knew
who he was supposed to be-"
He asserted that the expert |
menters and the planners" told the
forgotten man that the Government |
owed him a living, but did nothing
to provide him productive job with |
good pay" |
Describes Neglected Man."
Describing the present-day coun-
terpart of the forgotten man as
"the neglected man." Gov. Bricker
added
He is the white-collar worker, the
clerk, the stenographer, the book |
keeper, the small manufacturer, the
small merchant, the struggling prof.
fessionaf man and many others. He
constitutes the great middle class
who work for a salary or for an un-
certain income"
In this group Gov. Bricker also
placed the small business men and
women and said that to a great
extent they were "the people who
furnish civic leadership and accept
civic responsibility"
Referring to the whole group, he
remarked:
For the sake of our economic and |
social stability. something must be
done for these millions the New
Deal has neglected. The doing, in
part, is within their own power. |
They have one remedy in the ballot
box"
