Party Achievements

have ruled as many years as the
Republicans in our country's his
tory.
Party Power Even
I'VE have not had as many presi-
dents as the Republicans, but the
Democrats have been in power as
many years. We do not have to
curse the Republican party as we
60 out to spread democracy in the
country.
Under the greatest president the
United States has ever had-Frank-
/ lin Delano Roosevelt - our party
has been able through the years to
accomplish enough to allow us to
stand on our record. I have heard
men say Of Roosevelt, Thank God
For Franklin Roosevelt and later
1 have heard the same swear at
him because their taxes were
high"
Judge Burney declared that the
cost of World War II-estimated
at 1927, 900, 900, ,00O-plus unprece-
dented debts incurred by the Unit
ed States, make a reduction of
taxes impossible, no matter which
party is in control.
They (the Republicans forget
how serious the economic condi-
ton of the country was in 1888. We
were in the valley of depression,
but the Democratic party led us to
the hilltops of prosperity, he said.
After flaying the administration of
Herbert Hoover, and other Republi-
can presidents, Judge Burney list
ed as Democrat accomplishments
the farm program, home-owner
Legislation, and the tremendous
wartime accomplishments of the
government"
Referring to the present admin
istration, Judge Burney sa i d,
'President Truman is doing the
best he can. He is sincere and hon
est, although he cannot measure
up to Roosevelt, and despite the
heckling he has been receiving, he
is great leader"
Returning to the county govern
ment, he added, ''In New Hanover
county, where Republicans are
hardly known, we have had faith
full and efficient government. We
are now having a new registration
of voters. I implore you and your
friends to register in order that you
may vote. Prepare for the coming
elections, 60 out for victory with
no holds barred. Give this country
great, grand and glorious admin
istration."
