Friday, July 5, 1940 HERBERT HOOVER HAS LOST POLITICAL PUNCH Ona o f the greatest disappointments i* the Republican con­ vention was the speech o f Herbert Hoover. Thane wa* a mark­ ed contrast between the Hoover of his first campaign and the Hoover o f the last convention in Philadelphia. He has lost that “ punch” in delivery which made him famous. He did pot make the impression on the great audience that was expected. What he had to say was solid and a theory and doctrine that must be followed if we do not go the way of France and the smaller powers o f Europe. , We understand his speech over the air was well received. This was not the case in the convention. Where there should have, been raising inflection and a jesture there was none, As to the former on the air the mechnician in the radio control -room can give any speech the rise and fall as he thinks best. From the standpoint o f the Ohio delegation Hoover did not deliver his block of California votes to the Ohio candidate as expected and which had previously been agreed to between the leaders. Mr. Hoover is a sore and disappointed man; He is smarting yet under his defeat, most of which was his own fault, while it must be admitted he had a congress on his hands that would not co-operate. At no time did Hoover receive more than a few scattered votes for the nomination and these few no doubt gave rise to the thought that “ lightning” might strike him if the other nominees failed to get a majority o f votes. This was impossible for the reason his speech had failed to stir the delegates. It was a great disappointment. Following the convention Hoover is credited with an in terview reflecting in a way .on the Republican nominee. This again was hot the Hoover o f earlier years. Whatever the per­ sonal view o f any person may be as to the new nominee it must be kept in mind he is a hard-headed business man. He is a natural born fighter and no one knows this more than' the New Dealers. He was the choice of a great majority wljo were determined to nominate a candidate that could fight fair or foul the traitorous crowd in control of the government. Since the convention both Mr. 'Hoover and Mr. Willkie have met and it was a wordy battle of giants. If reports we get are correct and the press has given the facts, Willkie won on all points with Mr. Hoover. , Mr. ■Willkie has been a utility executive of unusual at­ tainments, and he fought the Socialistic TVA in the south and won against even packed courts. He is resigning all his busi­ ness connections to devote his entire time to the campaign. He has demanded that Roosevelt be nominated in answer to barbs o f criticism that he had once been a Democrat. His answer was that he did not leave the Democratic party but the party left him. Not having any place to go he was adopted by the Republican party just as Roosevelt adopted both Knox and Stimson, Republicans, Mr. Willkie says his holdings in tfie utility company in which he was hehd were minor to the holdings of Franklin Roosevelt and members of the family, as well as the elder Roosevelt trust fund in General Electric. ’ Mr. Willkie threat­ ens to give the. actual holdings of the Roosevelt family in this company that has for seven years had the first call on govern­ ment orders for electrical equipment amounting to a hundred million dollars or more to equip plants at government con: structed dams. It is intimated the Roosevelt family has drawn on an-average of a million a year through salaries legally drawn, radio and book Contracts, newspaper writings and in­ come from utility company holdings. v * The New Deal will find in candidate Willkie a match for any New Deal speaker that can be put on the platform. Roose­ velt has been parading the nation for seven years with a “ chip bn his shoulder” and the display of “ bring on your fighters” on the New,Deal*banner. r The scrap is on and will be continued until next November “ with or without gloves” . The challenge now is for the Demo­ crats to nominate Roosevelt in Chicago this month. Mr. Hoover no longer wields any great influence in his party yet his popularity has not been enhanced by his actions at the Philadelphia convention.. (UlMWItHMHPlMMMMMHHir1# On* o f the interesting things in connection with the Republican Na­ tional convention in Philadelphia waa the use fo r the first time o f television to report the convention. The tele­ vision equipment was set up on a platform on one side o f the big audi­ torium and the motion picture people on the,.other. The reception device was set np in a down town hotel at Republican National headquarters, several miles from the convention. Here we -witnessed every move of-the convention, that part included in the pictures 'around the speaker's stand, and could hear every word distinctly. The jeBture of each speaker was as lifelike as i f wo were in the conven­ tion hall. This marvelous invention will some day compete with both the talking picture and,the tadio. You would hear more about it today if the* Federal Communications Com- mission* a New Deal board, would give the television people a chance'to-b e seen and beard. The New Dealers say the public is not yet ready for television. That is the same brand of talk Hitler gives the Germans and Mussolini gives the Italians. - f S:- yr •- v - ’T- - ~ - f j d irt tombing, an inwation that only ] » this Mattel *waad. This proves t h e ! ; treactory that toe taken plane within j the secret planes in «Ur own govern- J ■went. Last Saturday we beard the i roll call la the House when it was ; voted that Roosevelt could not sell, give away, or order destroyed any airplane* to t o need fo r war purposes or any kind e f wsr vessel or equip­ ment without the consent o f Congress, One o f the outstanding features o f)o ld age pensions, State Woher* Di­ tto Republican National'Convention at,rector Charles L. Sherwood estimates Philadelphia last week was the loyalty j that 5,900 new pensioners will be add­ end effectiveness with which Governor ted to the rolls during July. He pie In the convention hall were erected ten o f the most powerful flood electric lights ever used. These were placed so that the light would be spotted on the speaker’s platform. Part o f the light fell on the section o f the.dele, gates close to the stage and the pfess section. The heat from these lights exceeds the heat o f the sun at mid­ day and when on for long intervals nearly smothers all those within the rays. The delegates and press com­ plained and time after time Chairman Martin had to ask the motion picture people to turn off the lights to' get relief. These lights made it possible for the motion picture people to get good views, as good as if taken in the bright sunlight. FOURTH OF JULY AND FIRES With the Fourth of July at hand and the fire cracker as well as other devices for noise making in use by children, extra care should be given towards fire protection. Municipal and state authorities have issued warnings call­ ing attention to fire protection as well as danger to all in the use o f fire works, some of which are harmless if handled in the proper manner. However, much of the damage aiid loss is due to carelessness. . * The cigarette butt is as much of a menace as is the fire cracker. Here carelessness usually is found when a fire is at­ tributed to that cause. .• The danger to children is the most important warning and dealers in fire-works should keep in mind the responsibility , under the Ohio law. No sale can be made legally to a child- under twelve years of age. If property owners will read their Insurance policies they may find their insurance is in jeopardy finder a clause of storage of explosives in the building, '‘Three little girls lost their lives in the state o f Pennsylvania last year due to the carelessness of another person and as a result public sentiment demanded greater protection. There was no protection* possible other than to forbid the sale of any kind o f fireworks within the state and the legislature passed such a law. Good insurance is as good as the last “ premium paid” re­ ceipt. 1 ■ * . ficy Mlttand and Ann* Naagl#, are co stars o f the brilliant cine* matt* t*W toi o f "1R1NI5" based on the great American musical i f i l y munm* o f that name, in the company which Hat-toft WfiaoK tea aaimibiftf for the RKO Radio production are also R o toad Tim**, May Robson, and Billie Rnrke in fop feainres roles, “ j i f f i r oflrtMMa t ttor Utat* Ttoat#r, SpringHaW, Sands* July £ The last congress* provided for a new Warship to be constructed in the Phila­ delphia navy yard, the largest in the world. The hull was laid in due time and the vessel is how nearing com­ pletion. The problem is now how to get the new boat down the river. It has been slipped out o f the dry dock without the upper structure or inter-, ior structure. When this is done thousands o f tons o f weight# will bo added and then the bottom will drag in the mud o f the river. Congress had to appropriate $1,400,000 to deepen the Delaware river no tha boat when completed can be floated’ down the river to the ocean. It is bat one o f the many “ well planned” .-Roosevelt brain-truster methods in which gov­ ernment business is tw in / conducted. A week ago the writer was a guest of Cong. Robert F. Jones, R>, Lima, who with four Miami county citizens, including Speaker o f the Ohio House o f Representatives McCullough, that were permitted to take a trip through the Philadelphia navy yard, the first delegation to get in since May first when visitors were barred There were 17,500 men on the payroll and the place was humming in every- depart­ ment. There was some now work started but most o f the effort was re­ conditioning vessels that have not had paint or care the past eight years. A hundred submarines used in the world war have laid in the harbor for years without even paint and the whole place looked more like a junk yard than anything else. Hundreds o f then were busy cleaning rust, an eighth o f an inch thick off vessels and equip­ ment so that it could be painted. The$e subs are said to be in good condition mechanically other than rust in many places requires new repairs. These models are. much smaller than the typ# bring constructed today. The cry that this country should im­ mediately 'declare war on Hitler, Sta­ lin or Mtusriifti, comes from those who do not know that even this coun­ try is not prepared fo r war, even we, cannot defend ourselves. We do not have ;the trained men nor the war equipment. This was true o f Eng­ land and France, both o f which were unprepared but both sat’ back and awaited the Roosevelt pledge to King George that this country would pro­ vide both men and money. Hitler found both unprepared and now France blames both England, and to some extent the United States, fo r her plight in not having the promised sup­ port. Brieker supported the candidacy of Senator Taft fo r the Presidency. A l­ though urged by delegates from many states to become a candidate and sev­ eral boomlets were started in his be­ half, Governor Brieker at all times refused to be a party to any such movements, stood firmly and loyally by Senator Taft and did much effec­ tive work fo r his fellow Ohioan, both before and during the convention. Finally, when candidate Willkie had received 504 votes, (501 being neces­ sary to nominate) it was Governor Brickcr’s motion which made the Will­ kie nomination unanimous. Taft’s high vote was 377. Yes, Ohio Was very much in evidence at the Republican National Convention. Secretary o f State George Neffner reports total receipts fo r the first six months o f this' year to have been $117,291, as compared with $104,648 for the same period last year—a gain o f $12,643 fo r the Department o f State. , dieted tto pension roll* by August 1 will roach 1*8,000 contrasted with tto previous high o f m ,m in December m Five hundred resery* officers in Ohio hav* been nailed to 'duty effective July I, fo r n one-yaar period te assist tto regular army in tto training o f recruits o f the Tepidly expanding military establishment, according to Brig.

The fact that all big business is for war is proven by the thousands o f telegrams sent to convention delegates in Phila­ delphia urging that we intervene abroad at once. Big business threat­ ened hundreds o f political leaders. It is known that the Pennsylvania dele­ gation was not permitted to vote for, a candidate from a state that would not back a platform plank for inter­ vention. The cry was more business evpn if jt-took war to bring it about. Then it Was also argued the Demo­ cratic convention would back Roose­ velt and his war plans. The State Division o f Conservation has leased, effective July 1, eleven new lakes, 366 tmiles o f publicly-owned shoreline and ^lG,000 acres o f water, from the Muskingum Conservancy District, Surrounding the lakes are 45,000 acres o f land and forest areas, which will be^ ideal for hunting and other out door recreation' purposes. All shorelines will be protected 100 feet back from the waterline fo r pub­ lic use exclusively and the plan pro­ vides for frequent public park areas along the shorelines. These 11 new lakes will add. approximately 50% to Ohio’s inland lake capacity. “JUNE WEDDING” OBSERVED BY. GOLDEN RULE CLASS Business played a big part in form­ ing support for Willkie and the Cham­ ber o f Commerce in every city and state began to high pressure delegates and political leaders, in many in- Monday morning you started pay­ ing for the. New Deal defense plan and after the-November election you are goin'g to pay still more on a lot of things not now included in the New Deal list. The liquor, cigarettes, amusement tickets* and a lot o f other things are on the first list, often spoken o f as non-essentials The New Deal did- not want to go all the way and include everything at this time hut every day items Will become tax­ able after the election in November, whether the New Deal is in power or not. Somebody must provide defense for this nation, a thing we do not have now, even though Roosevelt has had a billion a year fo r the army and navy fo r more than' seven years. Sen. Clark, Dem., Mo., asks where this money has gone but he gets no reply, not even an excuse. Everyone knows little o f it has been spent on either the navy or army. We had less men in each’ branch than we have had for years and more money provided each year by the Roosevelt congress. Sen, Clark says the money went do.wn a “Rat hole with a politician rat at the other end pf the hole” . stances under, threat o f business boy­ cott. This does not mean Willkie ap­ proved this method, but just that, happened with' several leaders in Ohio. In a neighboring county to the south business men. voted, all but one, to urge support o f Willkie, regardless o f the fact the delegates were elected by the people to support Taft. In an­ other county a petition was circulated at the request o f the Ohio Chamber o f Commerce in a county seat to sup­ port Willkie. It' seems business for­ got ’ that the Republican delegates were elected and pledged ta support Ohio’s favorite son candidate. There probably never was, and may never be, another political convention, where members o f the opposing politi­ cal party were as interested and active in seeing a certain candidate nominat­ ed than there4was in Philadelphia. Scores o f business men prominent in the Democratic party were present; thousands o f others o f that party telegraphed or wrote delegates and congressmen urging the nomination o f a certain candidate as the only man that had the ability, the nerve or would use fire to fight fire in the de­ feat o f Roosevelt. Democratic mothers over the nation had petitions urging the Republican party to stay out of the war, that if Roosevelt had his way we would be in war. We saw one letter from a Democratic mother to a delegate, pleading that the Republi­ cans oppose the sending o f either men or equipment to Europe and that she had no more confidence in a Roosevelt statement than she did in anything Hitler or 'Mu.* olini might promise. The recipient o f the letter informed the writer that the husband o f this woman waa a delegate to- the Demo­ cratic convention in Chicago when Roosevelt .was first nominated, but that he would not support him again. A recent check o f the records o f the State Purchasing Division reveals that Ohio saved more than $800,000 in 1939 by insisting on free competitive bidding and eliminating the political middle-man. Examples cited are the $123 per million paid for. sales tax stamps in 1938 as against the $84 per million now being paid—the an­ nual saving on this’ item alone being $78,000, * In 1938 the state paid $194 per million for eigaret tax stamps and now they are purchased for $105 per million, and .the state saves the difference,. In adopting a “Buy Ohio Products” " pones', the state, so f* r this year, has purchased -770,000 pounds o f Ohio beet sugar, as against 50,000 pounds o f „ the Ohio product purchased by the former administra­ tion in 1938. During the'last year o f the Dayey administration, nearly 2,- 000,000 pounds o f cane sugar, grown outside the state, was purchased. The state, this year/' has bought 8.0,000 pounds o f lard from Ohio farmers. Previously the state bought vegetable shortening exclusively, produced out­ side the state. The records o f the State Purchasing Division are open to the public and the figures here cited can be easily verified at any time. A “ June Weddin” was the high spot o f the June meeting o f the Golden Rule class o f the Methodist Church at the home o f Mrs. C. E. Masters, Thursday evening, June 27.

One o f the things in political cir­ cles, as a result of the Republican con­ vention, that is causing Democratic leaders plenty ^of Worry as to who Roosevelt will nominate for president in case he d 'dines reelection. It is certain that he is going to let the con­ vention nominate him on the floor by acclamation so he can grand-stand and decline. He will Control the ‘conven­ tion and name his successors. Some say it will be Sec. Hull, while others have Douglass singled out for the hon­ or. Among the convention visitors were hundreds o f one-time leading Democrats that will not support who­ ever Roosevelt nominates. It was from this class the Republicans were given to understand that Roosevelt was holding out fo r LaGuardla, the Socialist mayor o f New York City. Paul Mallon, noted Washington columnist let this out Monday for the first time. “ The Mortal Storm” starring James Stewart and Margaret Sulfavan opens at the Regent Theater, Springfield, Ohio, on Thursday, July 4 for one week.

Congress wants to know why Roose­ velt did not soil these subs to England and France instead o f our modern war craft, the sale being made through the jUnited States Steel, one o f those “ dollar-a-year” business ventures such as we had in the World War when the low rated business executives became millionaires before the war was over. It has developed that some o f our own moat modern airplanes have been cap­ tured by Hitler at Brest, France. On one was the famous sight that was Mid to to 100 pet tm i perfect fo r have the answer. There has been nothing proposed or done by Roosevelt during the past seven years that has so burned the public conscience as naming Sidney Hillman, Communist CIO vice presi­ dent to head the training o f the boys and girls o f 18 years o f age when they are conscripted under Roosevelt’s idea o f building an army for the future. Hillman is a radical o f radicals and an atheist, all o f which should prove interesting to religious leaders o f all Christian faiths. Communists in Rus­ sia are no different than the Com­ munists In this country, all against all forms, o f the Christian religion.
