vote, the small cogs in the great industrial machine. President Roosevelt, in discussing the “royalty” built up in this country by great monopolies, argued that it has encroached upon {the small business man and enslaved him, and thus set the campaign tune for Democrats on this particular issue. “There was no place arnong this royalty,” he declared, “for our many thousands of small business men and merchants who sought to make a worthy use of the American system of initiative and profit. They were no more free than. the worker or the farmer.” The President pitched the campaign on a triple note of New Deal objectives: 1. Protection of family and home. 2. Establishment of a democracy of opportunity. 3. Aid for the man, woman or child overtaken by disaster.
“Used as Stout Supports”
“We do not see faith, hope and charity as unattainable ideais,” he said, “but we use them as stout
fight for freedom in a modern civilization. ) “Faith—in the soundness of democracy in the midst of dictatorships. “Hope—renewed because we know so well the progress we have made, “Charity—in the true spirit of that grand old word.” Mr. Roosevelt cast the: American people in the role .of saviors of world democracy. In other lands, he said, some weary people had “sold their heritage of freedom for the illusion- of living.” “They have yielded their democracy. I believe in my heart that only our success can stir their ancient hope. They begin to know that here in America we are waging a great war. ; “It is not alone a great war against want and destitution and economic demoralization. It is a war for survival of democracy. We are fighting to save a great and precious form of government for ourselves and for the world. “To some generations much is given. Of others much iis expected. “This generation of Americans has a rendezvous with destiny.”
“Created New Despotism”
“Privileged princes of these new Roosevell
business aligned against him. “They created a new despotism,” he said, “and “wrapped it in the robes of legal sanction. In its service new mercenaries sought to regiment the people, their labor and their properties. And as a result the average man once more confronts the problem that faced the minute man.” Gone from control of the people, Mr. Roosevelt asserted, was power to order their own lives and the conditions of their labor. All that was “imposed by this new industrial dictatorship.” “The savings of the average family,” he continued, “the capital of the small business man, the investments set aside for olc age—other péople’s money—these | were tools which the new economic royalty used to itself in.”

The price of potatoes is already high, and [the supply of feed for livestock is dwindling due to the drought. A scarcity of feed would boost meat prices, it was pointed out.

The county wheat erop, although generally in good condition, is expected to be below the average yield, Mr. Abbott said. Yesterday's sun curled up corn in the fields.
