Here are a few things to think a.
bout. The election is only a few days
hence.
It's time to change presidents. It
never was meant for the chief exec
utive to have more than two terms.
1t was war-not Roosevelt-that
made jobs. Where were ten million
jobs during Roosevelt's seven peace
time years?
This man Dewey has a reputation
for keeping his pledged word. Even
his opponents admit this. We need
character and honest motives in gov
eminent.
The election Of Dewey carries the
best hope Of retaining the traditional
American Democracy as we have al
ways known, loved and treasured it.
before the New Deal began to remake
It and before the Communists moved
into and took over the Democratic
party.
Real Democrats deeply resent the
kidnapping of their party by these
communists and the Political Action
committee.
People are fed up with twelve years
of quareling, waste and decay They
want a fresh and vigorous govern
ment with faith in the future of
America.
In PC states the people have learned
that state administrations can be
changed which greatly strengthened
unity for war and capacity to hasten
victory. A similar change in Wash
ngton will speed total victory and al
50 speed our work for a just and last
ing peace.
Mrs. Roosevelt can hardly be ex-
pected to vote for Dewey but in re-
cent quote she certainly spoke for him
in these words; "Tm nearly 60, and
it isn't any use in anyone that age
planning for world peace. Younger
people have got to plan for it because
they've got to live in it,"
Wonder how difficult it is for Mrs.
Roosevelt to remain rather quiet and
out Of the limelight during the pre-
election activity. Clayton Rand, Miss
issippi Democratic editor who is OPP
posed strongly to New Dealism, said
recently, "The big national problem
in simple thought is the trouble with
the country lies in the fact that we
can't put Franklin out and we can't
keep Eleanor in If she leaves on an
other jaunt now she'll come back to
the White House and find FDR gone.
Mr.. Rand has written another adj
dress "The New Deal and the New
Slavery" in which he compares the
indictments the colonists laid down a
gainst the King of England in the
Declaration Of Independence in 1776.
with indictments against the New
Deal. The latter has it all over the
King for harassing people, eating out
their substance, subjecting them to a
jurisdiction foreign to our constitu-
ton and acknowledged by our own
laws.
Mr.. Rand gives us this choice in
formation:
The Office of War Information's
Chronology Of American History"
part Of its Handbook of the United
States" published for use overseas,
covers fifteen pages. Four pages COW
er the history of the United States
from Left Ericsson in the year 1000,
to the New Deal. 1t then takes eleven
pages to cover eleven years of Roose-
welt. There are three references to
George Washington, the "father of
his country" and Thomas Jefferson,
father of the Declaration of Indepen-
dence, is only casually mentioned as
having written some resolutions. f.
d. Roosevelt, however, father of the
New Deal, is mentioned 1902 times.
Senator Byrd, of Virginia, is a very
wise Democrat. When asked the 9TH
er day to make a speech in favor of
Roosevelt, he replied that he was
busy picking apples" on his farm at
Winchester.
Here's a possibility for some I'M
ion members to think over. In case
of Roosevelt's reelection, would he
put Sidney Hillman of the Political
Action committee, and communist
leader, in as secretary of labor?
Then where would the Railway
Brotherhoods, the United Mine Work
ers and American Federation of La
Dor unions be? In that well known
dog house or behind the eight ball!
Let's go forward with Dewey.
The day Of liberation is near. Liber-
alton from the New Deal.
