POLITICAL REVUE SHOWS ERRORS

Hearers Refreshed 0 n Glaring Errors Made By GOP (From The Brazil Gazette) Brazil, Ind. — J. Riley McCullough, former county superintendent of schools and a man wellversed in political history, gave a very interesting talk before members of the Roosevelt club in the convention hall of the court house last Thursday evening. In his historical review, he re called the swift change in times stating that it had been 25 years since women had been given the right to vote and now they are very influential in government affairs. In his list of what we might have forgotten, he recalled the pumerous amount of laws passed by the last state legislature which were declared unconstitutional. He told of accumulation of the money now in the state treasury about which the Republicans do a great amount of boasting. A good portion of this money, he declared, was depository money, accumulated through the trustees, stating that this money does not go to the trustees but under the depository law to the state of Indiana. In national affairs, he told how the United States had accepted the peace pact instead of the League of Nations at the close of World War I, which offered a great contribution to World War II. He challenged the Republican story of the government’s selling scrap iron to Japan, asserting that

the scrap iron was not sold by the government but by individuals. In proving that the Republicans had had their chance, he cited that this country had never been out of debt since the Civil War and that Teddy Roosevelt’s administration in 1907, the National debt was $190,000,000,000. He told how, under Hoover’s administration, the United States helped Germany by selling bonds in this country. $2.400,000,000 was sent to help Germany overcome her financial difficulties following World War I. In recalling the history of past presidents, he gave the history of Abraham Lincoln, who under his first term, was nominated and elected on the Republican ticket but was unsatisfactory to Republican politcians. In the next campaign he made a successful race on an Independen ticket and was serving his tenure of office when assassinated. These and numerous other historical and political happenings were unearthed by Mr. McCullough which if studied thoroughly, would be valuable knowledge to most of us. A) good crowd attended the activities, considering the extreme heat and refreshments were served following the meeting.

Norris for FDR “It wound be a tragic mistake to refuse President Roosevelt a fourth term,” declares former Senator George W. Norris, progressive Republican, from his home in McCook, Neb. “The defeat of the President would offer encouragement to our enemies to fight on and discouragement to our soldiers,” the famous Nebraskan insists. o The first auto tax in New York cruised on Fifth avenue in 1904.

DEWEY REFUSES VOTING RIGHT

Doesn’t Approve Of Federal Ballots For Men Overseas

By (LOWELL MELLETT.) Gov. Dewey did not approve the use of federal ballots 'by fighting men overseas. The federal law provides that service men who do not receive state 'ballots by October may vote on special federal ballots, if the governor of their home state has certified his approval of the use of these Iballots by July 1'5. Most governors gave their approval, under the conditions stated by Congress, but not the New York governor. It seems to ibe agreed that the percentage of New York men and women in the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, the Wacs and the Army Nurse Corps, who succeed in voting next fall will be much the smallest percentage of those from any important northern state. Following passage of the New York state law back in March, when its full effect was understood, Gov. Dewey was urged to reconvene the legislature so that the law might Ibe amended. Among those appealing for such action was the New York city council. A very special appeal was made by James A. Farley, who, over a statewide. radio net-

work, said:

Appeals Unanswered. “Gov. Dewey, on behalf of our hundreds of thousands of citizens in the armed forces and, confident that I am voicing the sentiments of their loved ones at home, I ask you to convene the legislature at the earliest possible date to amend the present socalled Soldier Vote law, removing its obvious defects and making it so workable that we all— Democrats, Republicahs and Independents—can acclaim it as a real statute that will make it, to use your own words, a perfectly simple solution to the problem.” These appeals have gone un-

answered.

'Meantime, however, the State War Ballot Commission convened a meeting of representatives of all the Boards of Elections in the state. The call for the meeting Legal Notice NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS OF LIBERTY

Notice is hereby given the taxpayers of Liberty Township, Delaware County, Indiana, that the proper legal officers of said Township, at their regular meeting place, on the 29th day of August, 1944 will consider the following emergency additional appropriations: TUITION FUND Fund No. 28, Teaching $650.00 VIRGIL R. RUBLE, Trustee of Liberty Township

said: “The War Ballot Commission has impelled this meeting in order that there may be a unified and correct interpretation of the new War Ballot Law, concerning which we are so uncertain.’’ | A Reservoir of Ambiguities. The meeting resulted in the announcement of a “liberalizing interpretation” of the law about which the Ballot Commission was “so uncertain.” It is Mr. Farley’s opinion that the liberalizing interpretation actually adds to the uncertainties of voting so far as men in the armed services are concerned. He believes that under the Ballot Commission’s interpretation it may be possible to throw, out almost all of the overseas votes, even the small number likely to reach the election boards four days before election day as required under the state law. All in all, the former Democratic National 'Chairman seems to find the New York governor’s handling of the soldier vote quite as repugnant as he finds the fourth term. In the same broadcast he used some rather large language. He called the law “a monstrosity, a reservoir of ambiguities and a perpetration of deception.” Issues Complicated. This soldier voting issue is not as simple as this column makes it seem. It is so complicated, in fact, that hours or even days could be spent in legal debate over the provisions of the state law. After Nov. 7, plenty of hours and days doubtless will he spent in legal debate. The views indicated here are merely those of men who have had experience in getting out the vote and getting it counted. One phase of the question, however, is relatively simple. New York requires that a soldier, to vote in the primaries, must appear in person. In New Jersey a soldier does not have to appear in person or even make personal application for his ballot; the state itself registers all absent voters and on Aug. 15 ballots will go to all, those who have (been registered. Should anyone fail to receive a state ballot, he can use the federal ballot, which Gov. Walter Edge has officially approved. Up to one month ago 90 per cent of New Jersey men and women in the armed services had been registered. At that same date, only 6 1 J 2 per cent of New York men and women in the services had been registered.

“Hate Roosevelt” Very Dangerous Isolationists and their spokesmen, including the Patterson-Mc-Cormick press, who have been propagandizing President iRoosevelt’s IfilO campaign promise to ‘wou fathers and mothers of America” that “your sons will not be sent, into foreign wars,” got a repudiation from an unexpected source recently when Senator Arthur H. Vandenherg, Republican, of Michigan, and member of the Senate foreign relations committee, made the statement on the floor of the Senate during a debate on inter-

national policy.

Without, mentioning any names of persons or newspapers with isolationist tendencies, generally classed among the “They Hate Roosevelt” group, Senator Vanden-

DISASTER SEEN IN GOP PLANK Peace Plan Of Republican Platform Is A Gloomy Sign 'CHICAGO — The peace nlan of the Republican plati-orm was described as a gloomy sign of disaster by Prof. Kenneth Colegrove, head of Northwestern University’s political science department. Speaking before a national conference of school administrators at the university, Prof. Colegrove warned that the plank will do much berg cited the use of that quotation as an example of the “danger” and the “utter injustice” of taking words “from their place in history” and giving them “isolated interpretations.” Vandenherg said, “circumstances alter cases,” and that Pearl Harbor “created a challenge which no President and no citizen could ignore.”

to harm the Republican party in the forthcoming election. Two-third Rule Hit Prof. Colegrove also charged that the Republican plank was engineered through political intrigue. “il regret to say that a most gloomy sign of disaster is the plank in the Republican platform calling for submission of the peace treaty to the Senate for ratification by a two-thirds majority,” he said. “We lost the last peace because of the two-thirds requirement. “We are going to lose this peace if the President of the United States is required to follow the Constitution requiring a two-thirds Senate approval of the peace treaty,” he continued. “One-third of ■;he Senate is out to destroy all proposals which would bring peace that would mean the end of war.” Intrique Charged “Three senators were on the resolutions committee, Vandenberg, Taft and Austin,” he stated. “Vandenherg and Taft, both isolationists, voted for the vested interests; Austin, the internationalis; was overruled, and the plank which came about by political intrigue became part of the plattorm.” Prof. Colegrove urged the school
