SMITHHO TENAND PARTY | DISCARD F. D. R.
‘Convention Delegates Are Requested to Select + “Genuine Democrat.’
By United Press NEW YORK, June 22.—Text of the statement to the Democratic Party issued by Alfred E. Smith, Bainbridge Colby, James A. Reed, Joseph B. Ely and Daniel F.- Cohalan follows: To the Delegates of the National Democratic Convention of 1936: * | As men who believe in the principles, teachings and traditions of he Democratic Party, as they were personified by Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Grover Cleveland, we urge you, who meet in the name of the party made glorious in
the minds of patriotic Americans by oh
the records of those men, to emulate their examples and do in the present grave crisis confronting our :ountry, what those great leaders would have done under such conditions. We suggest td you, as all of these men were conspicuous for courage and character, that they would subordinate partisanship to patriotism; look with an eye single to the welfare of the country and its citizens; act in the manner best calculated to preserve the institutions - under which we became the first nation of the world and gave to our citizens a measure of comfort and a standard of living wages incomparably higher than those enJoyed in any other land. ) ‘Must Be American’ We submit therefore that—if you are to continue to act under. the name of the Democratic Party—you must first, to be American rather than anything else; you must take the heavy hand of government off of business, to the end that the 10 or 12 millions of unemployed may again join the ranks of workers employed in the factories, industries and on the farms of the country; you must put in power men under American policies of government who will balance our budget and put an end to the series of deficits measured in billions, which the present Administration has given to us; you must have a government which will make and enforce laws that will keep the American markets for the American industries and farms and not have them swaniped by the goods and products of nations that are. our industrial and farming rivals and competitors. _ chasing the shadow of foreign markets we must not throw away the substance of the greatest market in the world—the domestic market of the United States of America. ! You must put an end to the orgy of spending our public funds and the creating of millions of additional tax eaters who are breaking the backs of the honest majority of our countrymen and women, who still toil and save as did their parents before them. You must do away with conditions under which 20 millions of Americans are on the dole, with nothing to hope for under present rulers except a con- | tinuance of that condition of semiservility.
“Preserve Constitution.”
You must preserve the Constitution and under it the three sep=| arate, distinct and independent |
branches of government. To that
end you must have a President who |
will remain within his own sphere | of jurisdiction and not make the Congress into a rubber stamp or try ! to intimidate the judiciary into an indorsement of his. efforts to turn our republic into a dictatorship on the European model or an Asiatic absolutism. . You must follow the advice and ‘example of the great Presidents of the past and keep our country free from entangling alliances with old! world powers. You must insist upon a chief executive who will collect the moneys due us from de‘faulting governments instead of encouraging by silence and otherwise a continuance of defaults. You must. above all, put an end to the campaign, now under full swing, to buy the presidency “by the nisuse of funds—generously given by the people of the United States to alleviate want and distress, largely caused by the:iincompetence of public servants—and if there is no other way to do this, you must—during the continuance of such help to otherwise helpless millions of Americans—save the honor of the country by’ preventing the dispensers of = these public funds from coercing the voters, for whom the money has been appropriated, not as a bribe but as a national necessity.
Heed Hard Tasks
These are hard tasks even for men who are worthy of succession to the leadership of the Democratic Party. They would necessarily in-
volve. putting aside of Franklin D. Roosevelt and the substitution of some genuine: Democrat—of whom you will have so many on your list of delegates. Is it .too much to expect, with the many patriotic men and wom-

en among you, that the convention will have the courage and character to do these things? You will have the courage and character to do these ‘things. You will have to do them if you are to show yourselves fit to follow in the footsteps of Jefferson, Jackson and Cleveland. The temptation to do otherwise may be great. But if you do not ‘act as those men would have acted, you should put aside the name of the party, which you will have deserted, and adopt a name which will properly reflect the principles of a regimented state, as advocated in the so-called New Deal legislation.
“We Hope for Best”
We hope for the best and call upon you to stand for Democratic principles so that the coming contest may be between two great American groups, which have honest differences of opinion, within the framework of the Constitution. If you do, you will deserve success and honor—no matter what may be the outcome of the campaign, for in either case, American institutions will be safe. If you fail, then patriotic voters of all parties will know unhesitatingly to what standard they must rally in order to preserve the America of the great leaders of the past. We beg to subscribe ourselves as men who will remain faithful to Democratic ideals and traditions, as well as to our country. Faithfully yours, Alfred E. .Smith Bainbridge Colby Joseph B. Ely James A. Reed Daniel F. Cohalan.
