Miss Perkins Urqes
Clean Campaign
BY the Associated Press

PHILADELPHIA, July 13.-Miss
Frances Perkins called on the DEM
ocratic Party last night to take
the lead in inaugurating a vigorous
campaign without mudslinging."
Just as men could not live to-
gether without mutual respect, she
told the convention, so also each
political party must regard the
members of the other parties as also
manifesting truth and . desire for
service"
The Civil Service Commissioner
and former Secretary of Labor con-
tinued:
whispering campaigns. cynicism
about public activities, about politi-
cal action, abuse and false accusa-
ton have no place in a true politi-
cal campaign and particularly at
this time when political affairs have
assumed a world Importance never
before known in American life"
She said the Democrats should
give the Republicans credit where
credit is due, and recognize also
that the Democrats have made mis-
takes along with their achieve
ments.
1T (the Democratic Party has
had its full complement of error
and confusion" she said, but many
objectives have been achieved. Some
detectives have been only partly at
tanned"
Miss Perkins said many Ameri-
cans would like another Franklin
D. Roosevelt for President.
But we have to face life as it is, ="
she said. There is no duplicate in
this or any other party"
