tice of law and worked his way from a small town lawyer to the head of a great public utility. His record is one of uniform success. Unlike Roosevelt, his business phi is proven. Only twice in his ifetime has Roosevelt engaged in a business venture, and both of them Proved 100 per cent loss to investors. As Governor of New York, RooseVelt trebled the state debt, and as President he has trebled the national debt, and left the nation in great danger, in a state of disunity, and unprepared. He has fostéred the growth of great corrupt political machines which were his chief support for a third term. Willkie is, I believe, both morally and intellectually superior to Roosevelt. . . « Unlike Roosevelt, Willkie Is a true liberal. He was a liberal long before the New Dealers appropriated that term and misconstrued its meaning. His courage and confidence cannot be questioned. Unlike Roosevelt, his family record is not filled with divorce and other scandals. . ., . Willkie’s election will insure the breservation of our American principles and of republican government In our country, as well as the warding off of threatening inflation, financial disaster, unconstitutional government and war.

if SE ” ” CONTENDS F. D. R. FEARS TO DEBATE WILLKIE By H. P, S. . In reply to your editorial in The Times— ‘WHY NOT FROM THE] SAME PLATFORM?”

A couple of years ago the President was grooming the present Attorney General as a candidate for ‘Governor of New York. Unfortunately for Jackson he was invited to appear on the same platform with Willkie on a “Town Meeting of the Air” program. Newspaper reports at the time, and magazine articles since tell that debate spoiled Jackson's chances and ruined the President's plans. “The Champ” knows how Jackson came back to Washington with his ears pinned back, and he knows that in open debate with the Challenger, he would not stand a Chinaman’s chance. He loves his crown too much to take such a chance. On a platform alone, or over the air, he can softly croon the songs of the “Lullabye Laddies of Hushabye Street” and be safe. I feel quite sure that he and his friends Hopkins, Corcoran, Ickes, Kelly, Hague, and their like know that if he did get on the same platform with Willkie, he would be] made the laughing stock of the country. But Willkie’s invitation to appear with him at Baltimore is still open, and is the “Champ” a real champ?

By James R. Meitzler, Attica, Ind.

.| viewpoint, most of us are sincere,

need a tried and experienced man in the President’s chair. Now there is no denying Roosevelt is an experienced and successful politician. . . . But what success in practical affairs does the record show? Roosevelt, a rich man’s son, never earned a dollar by the sweat of his brow, has no conception of a dollar’s value in labor. His few attempts in business, failures. His fortune, his farms, his New York mansions all handed him ready made. Easy come, easy goes. ... Roosevelt's public record shows the same ignorance of dollar value you could expect from his raising. He left New York State in debt. He spends more than he takes in. He has never balanced a budget. Every year he has plunged further into

doubled and nothing to show for it. He has quit promising to balance the budget. -He asks for more tax money, more borrowed money to spend. Easy come, easy.g0€s. + . 8 # % CLASS CONSCIOUSNESS BRANDED AS FICTION By Voice In The Crowd I wish to reiterate to Mr. Daake that America is free from class, irrespective of the definition by Funk & Wagnalls or Webster.

back, in its editorial column, The Times stated that the Constitution authorized Congress to borrow money. There is nc provision in the Constitution authorizing Congress to borrow money; instead it expressly states that “Congress Shall tHave Authority to Coin Money and Regulate the Value Thereof.” Why is it that otherwise reliable publications will howl about Constitutional violations yet will try to deceive their readers on that provision about money? We who believe in the inviolability ot that foundation document believe in ail of its provisions and protest against having its most vital provision 1gnored by publications in order that they may please the money-making element. : | If Congress had the courage to jassume: its Constitutional powers over money and finance there would be some hope of us climbing permanently out of this slough ot despond into which we have sunk up to our necks, and out of which we have been lifted a few inches by emergencies of national detense.... Some day the people will get wise to our shyster system ot tinance and demand that Congress assume its Constitutional authority over money. | We have seen the present Admin- | istration fail to lift us out ot the

danger lies ahead, but in my view-| point it has not arrived in America, the only land where its absence can | be noted. | All of us speak from our own| and I am sincere when I say to you that no one is on your back in America. I have Irnown men who were rich and became poor, and I have known men who were poor and became rich. None of. these men who traveled down or up in the scale of possession have ever mentioned class, nor have they shown any feeling of .class change as they gained or were bereft of their wealth. We have just seen a very practical demonstration of classless America, when with only one notable exception, men of all color, creeds and political beliefs registered for the draft. You will see another such demonstration in the November elections. If you are orderly you can walk into any church or any public gathering and no one will deny your right. . .. I believe that in America class consciousness is a cross between envy and inferiority complex, and that it is more of a state of mind or a belief in certain types o. propaganda than it is a fact. Any ablebodied man can better his condition | in America if he is ambitious to! rise.

No one will push him up and, no one will push him down, and that is why I claim that this talk of class in America is fictitious. # on a DENIES CONGRESS HAS RIGHT TO BORROW

E- E 4 2 WORKER DESERTS F. D. R. FOR WILLKIE By Jim Flagstone, Plainfield, Ind. I am a working man and voted for Mr. Roosevelt in 1932 and 1936. I am going to vote for Mr. Willkie

because I believe no man should hold the office of President more than eight years. That is a very powerful office and a man might get the idea that no one is as good as he is and then this country would | be where Germany is today. The laboring man in this grand! country is pretty well off when you! compare his condition with that of | the worker .in Germany and Italy. | The German worker allowed one] man to get all the power and now! he has to work 15 hours a day, with | no time and a half pay. He can't]

for what they want to pay him. It looks to me like we workers are pretty dumb if we allow this to happen here. - What we need is a lot of preparedness which is planes, ships, guns, tanks and’ a thousand things to rearm. This is a big business proposition and Mr. Willkie certainly is the man who knows how to get a job like this done in a hurry. We have been fighting each other for eight years and while Mr. Roosevelt has done some good things, he has made a lot of enemies. This is no time for a divided house and. I believe Mr. Willkie is better fitted to reunite all of us
