The limit fo r national election* i* net a t 93,000,000* but the law aeema indifferent aa to when * campaign starts and also when it a Oniahee, If a campaign starts with and includes a national con­ vention expense, the actual campaign limit will be probably two and one half million* a sum impossible for either party as campaigns are conducted. Travel by special train and air- f lanes for hundreds of speakers besides advertising, luncheons, ands, etc.* all legitimate expenses, soon mount up to the million mark. . . . Nominee Willkie has made" one good suggestion th a t the Republican committee will have- no paid speakers and this Is really an innovation. For years both parties have had to pay big sums for headline speakers, and in some instance# to senators on government pay. This is an injustice to both poli­ tical parties and it is gratifying to know th a t Mr. Willkie has set a new standard. 8 The first “Hatch”1 law limited the activities of only- federal office holders. The second limited state employees th a t draw even partial pay from government funds allocated to the states for & particular purpose. I t was noticeable th a t the last law did not become effective until after the Roosevelt con­ vention, due to th e absence of the official signature. To have signed the bill before the convention Roosevelt would have excluded more than .half pf the 1094 delegates to his “draft” convention. . . vIn view of the fact most of the office holders on the federal payroll are Democrats the Republicans will sit back and Watch closely for' infractions of the law. No doubt “the Democrats will keep a clpse check on such states as Ohio With Republican administrations. A federal office holder cannot'eVen hire a worker, ward-heeler or what hot and meet the requirement of the law. No contributions permitted in any form. A 'slip of the tongue puts an office holder on the spot where he must prove himself not guilty, not the accusing party providing all the evidence. Many office holders and some political leaders fea r trouble lies ahead fo r many Democrats. RAILROADING YOUNG MEN INTO ROOSEVELT ARMY The contest over passage of various proposed war measures as demanded by the New Deal promises to wax warm from various angles. While the whole movement comes from the Roosevelt promise to King George to put this nation behind England, the New Dealers, under the guise of the Democratic party are .de­ termined to 'm ake good th e Roosevelt promise. There is a division in Democratic ranks over conscription, however most northern Democrats are holding back on committal to a plan they know is a t present very- unpopular and will mean much Ot the polls next Noyember. ' . - , The entire south is backing Roosevelt. There are two good- reasons for this. The south hopes to pick out the”soft places fo r the ir sons through pull with the administration, hundreds upon hundreds of boys during the past six months have been . parked behind government desks in the hope of escaping the d ra ft which is likely under the Burke-Wadsworth proposed law. , The second reason why the south can rally to England’s fcolors is due to the fac t th a t England, offered the. south aid in .the civil war over the slavery question. The public Is not fully aware th a t the south with- Roosevelt a t the helm has in many instances levied heavy tribute upon northern states for . retaliation over the civil war. When Senator Pepper, Florida^ denounced Col..Lindbergh’s speech over the air Sunday night, he left a trail tha t could easily be picked up by a blind man, the attack being a left-, handed jab a t those who have not raised sons for gun fodder before England’s cannon. The north Will provide most of the boys in Roosevelt’s army to go into training—for what? The south and some western states have limited militia or state guards and we find Sen. Shepherd, Texas,. Dem., ad­ vocating conscription. The southern delegations in both houses demand that Roosevelt be given power to 'd raft all militia com­ panies in the nation. This places the northern and eastern states in the lead for providing the largest number of men. Sen. Shepherd is best known as an exponent of prohibition and headed tha t movement when the “noble experiment” was given legal status, He was pictured as one of the humanitarian elect with white robe and trumpet ready to take those that desired beyond the mist into, the promised land. Today he stands as an exponent of England’s recruiting office to sign up our boys from 21 to 31 -under compulsion. Quite a contrast from-the humanitarian standpoint for the Senator who feared the outcome of the boys that faced a pint of liquor but today would force them to look into the mouth" of King George’s cannon, Those .that disagree with him as with his lord and master, Dictator Roosevelt, are branded as Senator Pepper says, sympathizers of Hitler. * The situation must be comforting to the northern Demo­ crat or one th a t has consistently supported that party* to see lus party in the hands of men tha t evidently have more interest in England than in America, which holds the bag for some thirty billion dollars due to default payment of the World W ar debt. - If you have one or more sons of draft age Mr, Roosevelt is going to get him into the army either by fair or foul means, the parents being not citizens of a free country but subjects of a New Deal dictator. They Live and Love Dangerously Lindbergh addressed 60,000 person* in « Chicago park opposing while Geft. John J. Pershing, over the a ir f*V«ed some form o f conacription or draft end a t one*. With Lindbergh were Sen, Pat McCarreni D., Nevada, and Rep. Van Zandt, R., Pa. All three urged that we stay out of the European war. »Hugh Johnson, daddy of the Roose­ velt NBA and CWA in the early days of the Roosevelt Communistic dream, addressed a large crowd a t Franklin, 0,* Chautauqua. Johnson drew the draft bill for Woodrow Wilson in 1918 and was the head of the setup during the war. He favors conscription but not the Burke-WadaWorth bill now be­ fore congress that Roosevelt is back­ ing. He says the old law ia still in existence but the reason it will not Suit present day conditions is that Whoever is head of the draft will be supreme and this will not suit some people (meaning the White House). He says he would rather see the law defeated than passed in present form as it leaves an opening for all kinds of favoritism. • * Congress leans to giving the-Presi- denfc power to call "but the national guard or militia in each state, Ru t congress also says the administration is not making' an effort to fill the ranks by voluntary enlistment, being set fo r conscription only. Congress is being deluged by mail from millions of homes, letters running as high as SO to one against draft or conscrip tion. This is bothering the congress, for a letter from a lot of mothers means just what i t says. The White House mail is greater than ever known but Roosevelt has made no mention of a great mass of the parents being for his war plan and “just two or three letters a day” from some cranks against conscription. If what-Hug] j Johnson says is true, the administra tion is headed straight for the Eu­ ropean War, regardless of the Demo cratic platform. This recalls his answer to a ques­ tion from the audience, The. militia- if called by Roosevelt under act of congress is in for a nice year of hard work not a petting party. He says this branch with the regular army Will be united and a fte r four to sir months hard work vHll have assigned 400,000 boys between the ages of 21 and 30 by next October, according to the original plan but.noW dependent on when the law, is passed. Fpur months after that will come the call for 400,000 new recruits. All these recruits will be sandwiched in with the militia and regulars for training. Among the score or more questions fired at Johnson one was “HoW about trading horses in mid stream?” .The quick answer Was, ' ‘It makes no dif­ ference where you trade a bad horse if you own one, in midstream' or on the bank. The idea is and the best thing to do is to make*the trade. Another question “Is Roosevelt real­ ly a Democrat?” Answer: Being natural bom Democrat for several generations of pure English blood and associated with the President for long time I in my own mind questioned his political "complex but said nothing about it, After what has hapened the past two or three/years I now have no mental reservations and can say he is not nor never has been a Democrat, As for being drafted in the Chicago convention, “He drafted himself,” Johnson took quite * wallop a t Eng­ land fo r her attitude following the World War when her military leaders politely informed tW English that what the V. 8. did was of some aid but we (English Army) were forced to carry the load and won the victory. All this in the face of the fact that we (America) provided ships, a few million men and billions of dollars and the war debt yet unpaid, Johnson favor* aiding Britain to the extent she is able to purchase in war supplies but warned it was up to us to provide our own protection even though it was going to be a “— of a long time” before Hitler would be able to take over England, v a n m wmrn a t IRMfawftl, C mk ado, M « s»4 ta *a a m r samp te r the thaeattsa o f the IMsy*** war bseaus* b a openly sg»t *a< amam'ifWwi for the agtish army, ye* sstfW Rye long eoeagh wader ea r present dictatorship to s*s year righ t taken away to ex­ press year view* m tb* same subject.

From now on coal will be sold under the federal Duffy law where the price is set by the government to guarantee the operators a profit,due to increase in mine wage* as a 'result o f the threatened strike some months ago. You will'pay the increase in price as set by a New Dealgovernment board and it makes net difference where you get the coal or the kind you want. The grocer sells- under a competitive system regulated by supply- and de­ mand. The farmer sells his wheat for what he can get With a pegged price as a -guide, which is far under cost. Coal dealers will, get no more profit than formerly but the mine operators have a guaranteed, government profit under the Duffy law. The increase in price is no t the fault of the local dealer as dealers In ail states must operate under prices set by headquarters in Washington* jqst as Hitler'and Mus­ solini operate in Germany and Italy.
