We do enjoy free speech, but when radicals $ay “Tear up the Constitution,” isn’t that going a trifle too far? Did you read about the Browder demonstration in Terre Haute? Do you realize the Communists are within our doors? President Roosevelt is surrounded by men identified as radical Socialists and they are just one step behind Communism. Recently in New York City, 125,000 Communists paraded past our flag with raised clenched fists—even spitting toward the flag. In less than six weeks these radicals raised (in the United States) $2,000,000 and sent it to their comrades in Spain. 1s our Constitution in danger? Is American liberty at stake? Do you want the graves of our dead pilfered for jewels as the Reds did in Russia? Are our schools in danger? Get in there and vote the straight Republican ticket. - If you don’t these radicals will make the United States another - Mexico, Russia, Spain or Germany. 5 = » ‘JUST A VOTER’ WRITES TO GOV. LANDON By F. F. Busselle, Lafayette

To Alfred M. Landon, Topeka, Kas. Dear Alf: No doubt you will be surprised to hear from me as you do not know me at all. I am a very obscure person, just a voter. But lately you have been talking so much to me, the voter, that I thought I should reply to you, the candidate. I hope you won't think I'm being too familiar, calling you Alf. That's Just a kind of Americanism, you know, calling a public man by his first name, and according to the newspaper you are an American, absolutely. In fact, from the constant use of “American” in connection with yourself and your campaign, I got suspicious and looked up your ancestry and, finding that you really are an American, wondered what you are trying to prove. Anyhow, Alf, I wish you all the luck in the world. I'd like to be President myself, for, as some joker has said, “It’s a living.” But I don't believe you're going at it in the right way. I think you're making a big play

for what I'm going to call the “emo- |:

tional” votes, rabid Republican and disgruntled Democrats, etc. Those won't be nearly enough. The rank and file of people, having been forced in the last few year to think whether they wanted to or not, have formed the habit of thinking, and now read between the lines. How much of a play are you making for their votes? Practically none. Suppose we use achievement as a yardstick. In that respect we newspaper readers hear of you in two connections. You are Governor of the State of Kansas and you, as Governor of that state, balanced the Kansas budget. Well, what about Kansas? Are the Kansans especially hard to gov-

ern? Are they an unruly set of.

People? Then take the Kansas budget....

While the Federal government is pouring $50,000,000 into Kansas for relief of human distress the Governor is bothering about his budget. . Alfred, I'm asking you, does that sound big? Now, about your own campaign promises. Ho-hum. [Relief for those who need it, and for the farmer, return to old ideals, love for America, death for dictators and communism. Alf, how do you expect to catch fish with that kind of bait? We've been through the relief situation agaia and again. Your co-howlers against the WPA are the very same persons who in the summer of 1935 were yelling their heads off because the WPA wasn't getting under way fast enough. Well, Alf, that’s about all I have to say. I think your sunflower is ail right but it reminds me too much of that once popular .song, “Don’t Bring Me Posies When It's Shoesjes That I Need.”

There is a strong tendency now among church and patriotic societies to block training of young men for war. They should be encouraged, and this amendment should be overwhelmingly defeated. People talk about preparedness, hut we know that Germany was prepared and brought on the World {| War. She again is preparing, by spending great sums of money, to build up her armies instead of paying her honest debts. We should do away with our armories and the R. O. T.

Why did Mr. Murray accept work with the WPA, as it was a plan to do away with soup-houses, breadlines and families In distress, caused by the Republican disaster? A second important question.-Why is Mr. Murray now idle? Industries of all kinds are calling for skilled men. Farmers can not get help to harvest their crops. Hundreds of skilled men who were

forced to accept work on the PWA have not returned to their trades.

PRESIDENT'S ACTION IN-CRISIS EXTOLLED | By Mrs Den Hill, Bruceville

I hope all the readers of The Times read the editorial, “Why We Are for Roosevelt,” that appeared in the issue of Oct. 14. It is one of the best I have ever read, and I have read it several times. President Roosevelt took office during a crisis just as important as any with which Lincoln or Jefferson had to deal.

The crisis called for clear thinking and immediate action. It called for courage and understanding. The President did not fail us. I often recall the dark and gloomy days of 1932. Something was done after President Roosevelt took office. Little children today are well-fed and clothed. - Yet we hear some who complain of too much money being spent. President Roosevelt has proven himself to be an American through and through. It would be difficult to find a man who is. more thoroughly saturated with respect for the American form of government and American traditions. I do not understand how any one can call our President a Communist. s FJ =

VETERAN AROUSED BY ATTACK ON TOWNSEND By G. M. RB.

Open letter to George Wildman, Switz City: ... As a war veteran who served 21 months in France and as one who always has voted Republican, even in 1932; as one who heard your attack on Clifford Townsend (whom every veteran knows was more than willing to enter the service, but could not because of a gunshot

wound in the leg, received when he was about 15 years gid): w ‘wondered why you dic not relate the length of time Raymond Springer was in the service. Ah, yes, Mr! Wildman, we veterans are not such fools to swallow all that line. There are six votes in my family that are for Landon and Knox, but six votes in my family you caused to leave Raymond Springer by your factics. tf J ” = WRITER REFUTES ‘EX- - DEMOCRAT’ LETTER CHARGE By James M.

8 8.8 HIGH SCHOOL PUPIL DECRIES TERRE HAUTE INCIDENT By a High School Pupil I am still in high school, and have been taught that the American Constitution is - the fundamental principle ‘of the country. This Constitution provides for freedom of speech, press and assemblage, in which all American citizens are taught to believe. If this is true, I can not see how Mr. Beecher, Mayor of Terre Haute, and Mr. Yates, chief of police, arrested the Communist candidaté for President, Mr. Earl Browder. . Mr. Beecher and Mr. Yates took the Constitution in their own hands and oppressed: its main principle, the freedom of speech. The prevean-
