Roosevelt Letter to Young Democrats

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 11 (U. P.).—The text, of President Roosevelt's letter to Pitt Maner, president of the

‘| Young Democrats of America,

follows: IF “My Dear Pitt Maner: ! “Please convey my greetings to the convention. “Never® was there a more timely gathering than that of you Young Democrats at Pittsburgh. Recent events have demonstrated the necessity of a restatement and reaffirmation of Democratic principles, and no group can undertake this mission as well as the young men and young women of our party. “From the beginning, Democracy has meant progress and its battle ever since Jefferson’s time has been a steady conflict with the forces of reaction and special favors. Every time the policies involving greater opportunities for the common man have triumphed; our political enemies have sought to minimize those policies and to neutralize the decisions of the people. Today is no exception to that classical course | of events. Uniformly the party of Nicholas Biddle of Jackson's time. Of Quay and Hanna of the Cleveland era, and of the Theodore Roosevelt period, has bowed to the progressive wing to the extent of pretending accord with the objectives of the progressive atiministrations but has found fault with the methods requisite for putting and keeping these principles at work. Uniformly have they appealed to such elements in

from ancient habits or were responsive to the powerful agencies that financed and controlled local politics. Probably the hoariest story of corruption in American elections is the history of those monied magnates who contributed vastly to the campaigns of candidates of both parties with the idea that they could continue control regardless of the way which the political cat jumped. | ~ Just as there are progressives in

the Republican ranks so there are reactionaries in our own party. Po-

our party as dreaded the departure

litical affiliation is often the child of hereditary principles begotten in the first instance of issues of terrific importance in the beginning which have no more significance at present than the inflamed controversy of a century and a half ago as to whether the capital of the United

States should be at Washington or

somewhere, on the Susquehanna River. Always has it been the aim of the enemies of liberalism to seek to attach to themselves such members of our party. Sometimes they have succeeded; sometimes they have failed. When dey. have succeeded they have not infrequently been successful in their efforts to supplant a Democratic administration with -a Republican - administration. Such happenings, though they have brought dismay for a period, have not sufficed to stop the. general and inevitable movement to make our country’ a better country for all of us rather than to make it a lush pasture for the seekers and holders of privilege. " Every Democratic administration has left a progressive mark on our own history and has’ influenced world progress as well. But when it has been succeeded by a typically Republican administration, progress has slipped backwards—sometimes a few feet and often many miles, It has been said that a’ great many voters today want us as a nation to stop, look and listen. What they fail to. understand is that nations cannot stand still because by the very act of standing still the rest of the procession moving forward, inevitably leaves them in the rear. Therefore, their desire to stand still actually means moving backward in relation to the rest of the world. Republican and Democratic reactionaries want to undo what we have acomplished in the last few years and return to the unrestricted individualism of the previous century. Republican and Democratic conservatives admit that all of our recent policies are not wrong and that many of them should be retained— but their eyes are on the present; they give no thought for the future and thus, without meaning to, are

I do not anticipate that any such event will take place, for.I believe that the convention will see the political wisdom as well as the national wisdom, of giving to the voters of the United States an opportunity to maintain the practice and policy of moving forward with a liberal and humanitarian program. A large part of the responsibility for such a. choice of fundamental policies lies in the hands and in the heads of the younger men and women of the nation. Be vigilant to keep ‘Tories from controlling your own ranks—just as vigilant as you will be to keep Tory Republicans from controlling your own nation.

Strike One and Out—of ° Teeth

OSTON, Aug. 11 ABIL P) Mike ‘Bowler, 62-year-old police" ‘stablehand, was back on a mush-and-milk diet today because he put his new store teeth in a pocket. normally reserved for peanuts. Bozo, a pet monkey, was going through Mr. Bowler’s pockets looking for peanuts when he came across the set of uppers which the stablehand had bought a few hours before after weeks of subsistence on soupy mush and soft-boiled eggs, A tentative nibble convinced Bozo that the tiny object in his hairy fist, ‘wasn't edible, so he. climbed onto the rafters to subject it to a leisurely examination. Mr. Bowler interrupted Bozo’s research, however, with loud demands that the monkey return his teeth immediately. ° ‘Bozo complied—by hurling the plate with shattering force to the concrete floor. He grinned while Mr. Bowler picked up the pieces.
