Keynote Address
*At District Rally
Congressman F. Ertel Carlyle told a group at a Dis
tiict Rally in Lumberton that Stevenson was “the great
est Presidential candidate we have had in half a century.”
He scored the disgruntled Dem
ocrats who have swung over to the
Eis-nhA'ver camp and said the ques
tion was not whether there was
need for a change, but was pro
§ posed as a substitute. “If you think
it through,” he declared, “I don’t
. see how the answer can come out
Republican ”
“To such of you as may be think
ing about betraying your party,”
Carlyle warned, let me say this. Are
you dissatisfied with the highest
standard of living in the world's
history that has come to us in the
past 20 years? Are you dissatisfied
that more people are at work
and fewer idle than at any time in
M our history?”
* “Listen to the candidates and
the men who speak for them." he
challenged. “Ever hear any talk of
the services the Republicans have
rendered their country? They’re
trying to focus your mind on the
little side issues and keep you
from thinking of what the last
Republican administration brought
us.”
COMPARES VALUES
, He spoke of the farm and home
values now and compared them to
the same valuts in pre-Roosevelt
day. He said he personally had a
horror of the Republicans ever tam
pering with the ecc- —uv again.
“If you play ’ . m pro
gram, if you fa., w give the far
mer a fair return for his pro
ducts, you will send us into an
other economic tallspin.” Carlyle
declared.
“We must at all hazards. protert

Party for two minutes with our
farm program. One of the first
things I’d expect to see them do
once they got into power would be
to start tampering with that pro
gram."

mitted. “is a great man as a mil
