A NEW craze has taken hold of the News-Review staff.

Dewey Promises
To End Chaos In
Federal Agencies
ALBANY, N. Y July 27 -(AP)
. Announcing a 15-polnt program
of action for the republican gov
ernor's conferecce next week,
Gov. Thomas E. Dewey pledged
today If elected to "end the dis
graceful spectacle of petty bick
ering and constant warfare 1)0
Iween the various units of the
government."
The republican presidential
nominee told a press conference
that ho and Gov. John W. Bricker
of Ohio, the vice-presidential
nominee, were In full accord on
the issues of the campaign.
Dewey said the conloronce in
St. Louis tx'ginning Aug. -
would delve into the field of
conflict" between tederal, stale
Mnd local governments.
"This has been a constant
scureo of friction for 12 years
In- this country now," Dewey said.
"Kwoiifih people are spending full
tinie lighting each other over the
qmi tlon of jurisdiction and power
between Ihe federal, state and
local governments to make up a
small army.
Ainii'st as many people are
squabbi'ing over this subject as!
are sqmibbllng In the the federal j
government. If
that were possl-1

liesi.lo bun and nodded agree
ment. The republican nominee said

"one of our first obligations Is to

more is only disunity row.

BOUQUETS, BRICKBATS AND
CORRECTIONS ANENT OUR
EDITORIAL COMMENT .
Editor's Note: Attention
has been called to an error in
our editorial column of July
20 in which it was stated thnt
President Roosevelt was a
"running mate with Al
Smith". The error is ac
knowledged. At the conven
tion in San Francisco in 1920
he was nominated as vice
president on the ticket with
.lames M. Cox, Governor
Smith making the seconding
speech. After his tlefeat he
resumed practice of law in
Now York city and was until
1928 vice-president of the Fi
delity and Deposit Co. of New
York city. We are grateful
for the letters calling atten
tion to the error and lo writ
ers both approving and criti
eal, who have commented
upon our opinions. C. V. S.
Editor News Review :
I have just read your editor
ial. "Picking On the Old Man."
I fully agree with your position
which is stated most excellently.
However, I observe your refer
ence to F. D. R. as "after going
down to defeat as a running mate
with Al Smith, he became"- -etc.
This is off the bourn a 'few years.
You will recall that F. 1). R. ran
for vice-president in 1920 as the
running mate of that experienc
ed (?l sta'.eman James M. Cox,
who was beaten badly by the
Harding-Coolirige ticket. At that
lime. Al Smith was New York
slate's governor. More to the
point, the callow candidate for
vico-presidont. who must have
felt himself to have been fully
qualified to succeed to the presi
dency tn the event of Cox's elec
tion (and subsequent death, had
attained the ripe old age of 38;
years. Ho now sneers at Gover
nor Dewey's "immaturity" and in
experience" Makes a lot of difference who I
is young and who is mature! 1
GEORGE B. GUTHRIE. !
Portland, Ore. j
Editor News-Review : j
1 have boon reading the editor-1
ials in the News-Review for some
time. Some are good, some are I
fair and some are so full of false-'
hood that they defeat Ihe very
purpose for which they arc writ
ten. In the editorial in the July 20th
edition of (he News-Review you
stated: "If our histories are cor
rect Roosevelt was a small time
politician" etc. Then turther you
wrote: "after going down to do
feat as running mate with Al
Smith ho became vice-president
of an insurance company." Then
later you stated he was n com
promise candidate between Ihe
Smith and McAdoo forces.
Now you started your editorial
,,.i ,i, h.,,!,, oi.
,.,( :1 ,,.,,,. ,.nmr,ainn :.nH
,hl,n . ,, mlo sl,.id.. in ,,-,,
tMluhiioan style by smearing and
spreading untruths yourself.
The tacts are: Roosevelt was
the running mate of James M. I
Cox In 1920. Shortly after the
elections he was stricken with in-j
fnntlle paralysis and spent sev
eral years In bod. In 1928. when
Al Smith was defeated for the I
presidency, Roosevelt was run
ning for the governorship of New
York state and was elected. He
served two terms as governor of
LETTERS
1 to the Editor
New York and was elected presl
den of the U. S. in 1932.
It was his son, James, who was
the vice president of the insur
ance company. And he was not
a compromise candidate between
the Smith and McAdoo forces.
It was in 1924 that that dead
lock occurred and John W. Davis
was the compromise candidate.
' So your histories are most de
cidedly incorrect. They must have
been written by the republican
national committee.
' I can hardly believe that you
would deliberately print false
hoods in your editorials. Yet if
is hard to believe you could be
so uninformed.
You seem to bemoan the fact
that at the democratic convention
the seakers spoke disparagingly
of Herbert Hoover. I will admit
that
Hoover wasn't responsible
for the depression. But in his
campaign for the presidency he
promised, "two chickens in every
pot and two cars in every ga
rage." Then, a year later, a
workingman was lucky If he
could buy even a soup bono and
many lost their cars.
The only remedy he could think
up to end the depression was to
tell us "prosperity is just around
the corner" and to ask us to
"spend till it hurts" as if we
could spend ourselves into pros
perity. Ho was so far behind the times
that he didn't know there was a
war going on until Pearl Har
bor. But then, maybe no one
had told him.
Now, as to the republican nomi
nee, Mr. Dewey. He is a smart
and able man, far ahead of Taft,
Vandenburg, Nye and other re
publican leaders. He would make
a good president. But you can
hurt his cause by such editorials
as yours of July 20th.
And he would stand a better
chance if Hoover would go and
find a place to rest in a home
for the aged.

I wish to commend you on your
editorial in July 20th Roseburg
