Stantos 1 RECENT copy of Life magazine says that Roosevelt has M cnmnaie-nefl ne-ninut Hnnvpr rhren time. From the!"0 assisted in organizing the Fred Assenheimer of, Gardiner Passes Away Fred Assenheimer, aged about 75 years, one of Gardiner's "first citizens," died Wednesday ln a Eugene hospital. Born In Germany, Assenheimer came to Oregon in 1890 and en gaged ln farming on Smith river. sound of the democratic nominating convention, he is pre paring to make his fourth campaign against the old man. - The New Deal smear artists have succeeded in painting Herbert Hoover in lurid colors, and have even added horns, tans ana noois, upon occasion, lie became the lirst vic tim of the New Deal refinements of the ancient political art, and the party in power is keeping the picture freshened up. The New Dealers have made Hoover the symbol of republi canism and each campaign has been waged on the same program upon which the current administration rose to power. Now the old canvas is being dusted off in the con vention hall. The party lithographers are smearing on fresh colof. Speaker after speaker refers to the davs of 1931. They shudder at the depression and the bread lines. They point with pride to the heroic measures invoked by President Roosevelt in successfully preventing wholesale starvation, while carefully skirting the waste of taxpayer money and the fact that there was little rise in private em ployment until the country was on the verge of war. Herbert Hoover had the misfortune to-be president at a time in the nation's history when no man could have averted the economic catastrophe that had been generating for many years. It is our personal opinion that had Hoover remained in office we would have recovered from the depression much more quickly than we did and without all the waste and ex travagance which featured the New Deal. But that is be side the point. The thought we have in mind is that it is taking unfair advantage of an old man to pick on him four times in a row. The democratic convention is at work at the job again and seems to have improved with practice. Cut we doubt very much if, despite the convention's at tempt to revive the 19!12 issues, they will be able to confine their campaign this time to Herbert Hoover. There is a younger and. more aggressive opponent in the race. The smear artists are not overlooking this fact. In a "Suggestion for Editorial Comment," contained in a weekly clip sheet, the democratic national committee asks : 'And to whom would the Roosevelt haters entrust with that charge?" (The construction of that sentence is theirs, don't blame us.) "A young man, whose sole claim to eminence was as a successful county attorney, who was elevated by a politi cal accident to a governorship, the routine of which office he has hardly had time to master. Mr. Dewey may be a genius, to whom experience is unnecessary, statecraft an inspiration, and national and international wisdom a natal gift but what evidence do they offer of such precocity?" We might answer that question with another, which is a standard form of argument. Our question: What experi ence did Roosevelt have before he became president? It our histories are correct, he was a small-time politician, who, in return for favors, was rewarded with a position as assistant secretary of the navy under Woodrow Wilson. After going down to defeat as a running mate with Al Smith, he became a vice-president of an insurance company. In the convention of 1932 he was nominated for president as a compromise candidate between the Smith anil McAdoo factions. As governor of New York his principal achievement was uniiing the stale into debt to the tune of around $75 niil- ion, but he proved his genius in spending other people's money much more brilliantly alter being elected president, where he could work with billions instead of million,; It would appear that Dewey's background is somewhat superior lo Roosevelt's. But, regardless of that, we rather anticipate the vouthful Dewey will force the campaign to center around himself ather than permitting rehashing of the old Herbert Hoover campaign. Ve doubt il the New Deal will be as successful this time as in the past in selecting the field upon which to do battle. Reedsport bank in 1914 and was a director of that institution con tinuously. He was manager of the Gardiner hotel for many years and helped promote the first power plant at Gardiner and the first cannery in the lower Umpqua district. Hks death followed injuries sullered in a lall at his home sev eral days ago. Ailing Man Brought Here By Red Cross Vehicle The Red Cross Motor corps was called upon by the county court today to furnish transportation lor a patient from Dean's creek, near Reedsport, to the county hospital at Roseburg. The court was notified last night that the elderly man is critically ill. Motor corps ladies drove the county's Reedsport today to bring the pa tient to the hospital.
