Saw Albert Teester in a store, pre- 1
paring to go to Akron lie was buying
a pair of suspenders, laughed myself
sick wondering why he should ueed
'em, since it does look like a faith
strong enough to cure a rattlesnake
bite could hold up a pair of trousers.
The Al. Smith - John W. Davis -
Jewett Khouse attack on Roo.sevelt
and the New Deal is named the "Lib
ery League". "Oh, Liberty, what
crimes have been committed in thy
name I"
THE NEW HIGH PHIESTS
The joining of Al. Smith, Jewett
Shouse and John J. Raskob in the
Librety league. with the apparent
pui*|?ose of downing Roosevelt and
his plans to loose the people from the
strangle-hold of excessive wealth,
prove to our mind what we have siis
pec.ted all along, 1 and that is that
many of the wets have been more in
terested in their wetness than they
have been in the Democratic Party,
and its battles to -rive the cormon
man a decent chance in life.
Al. Smith sulked in lii-> tent during
the last campaign, disappointed at
not having been elected lour years
before, and chagrined at not having
been nominated again, although th.?
nominee was Franklin 1). Roosevelt,
who had done everything for Smith
that one friend could do for another
Shouse was busy, not so much for
the party, as for the success of the
drive to repeal the 18th Amendment
and bring liquor back as a legalized
beverage.
Roskob was silent in many lan
truages, including whichever hapi>en.s
to be his native tongue, although he
had been the financial angel of the
pnrtv when Smith was running, four
years before.
?Tohn W. Davis, a former nominee
of the party, is one of the Inst quali
fied ruen for the presidency in the
country, from the standpoint of |>er
sonal intellect; but he has been em
ployed for so long as an attorney for
the House of Morgan, that he appears
to have overlooked the needs of the
people, and not to l?e able to see
things from their standpoint, anymor?
Thus we have the crowd that, in
conjunction with certain Republican
leaders, has set about to down the
Xew Deal, to discredit Roosevelt, to
asrain place into effect the intrpreta
tion of the Constitution that puts
property above human need, that en
thrones wealth and crushes down the
common people, that would have the
" Constat lUioivfil right* *' of wealth
made the sacred cow that all Ainerici
should worship.
The battle lines are bei.nj* drawn.
The Liberty League will either fizzle
but or will develop the battle of the !
century, between the theory of gov- 1
eminent that holds that the oeede of
the people are the things that, aro
held sacred by the Constitution, that
jobs for men, and bread, meat, cloth
ing and a right to live in security and
comfort for women and children are
the primary concern of government,
and the contrary view.
i On the other side is the same old
coon, with just another ring around
j hia tail : The school of politics and
government that holds that the sacreo
rights of the wealthy are to gain
more wealth, of the interests to Jiav?
protection of government at the ex
cuse of the many, are the heart of
the Constitution. This theory has been
expounded, during our history, by
many organizations, It now appear>
as the Liberty League, with men who
have been honored and trusted by the
party of Jefferson, as1 proponents ot
the Hamiltonian doctrine, and as tin
revivers of the old coon , wh'ch, hav
ii?'4 grown another ring around hi*
fail, has been renamed.
It now comes forward, apparently
as harmless as a dove, yet wise as
scipcnt to do battle with the N.ev
Deal,, and to down Roosevelt, who n
contending for the rights of the peo
pie to "life, liberty, and the pursuit
of happ:ness".
