speeches of Governor Dewey in hi -.

more we listen the Letter we are
satisfied with the stature of the man
whom the Republicans have chosen
as their candidate in the coming elec

preaching the same doctrines for lo, |
the New Deal came into being. Take
the matter of Organized Labor, for
these many years—in fact ever since

For more than a quarter of a cen
tury this writer carried a union card.
He served his local union in many J
capacities, from president down to
sergeant-at-arms. For a time he re
presented his union as a delegate to
the Central Labor Count il of his city.
Having had all thin personal exper

have some right to criticize whenever

We have always felt that the Ameri-1
can working man has certain Inalien
able rights, among wnlcli are thei
right to organize with his fellows for’
the purpose of dealing with his em
ployer collectively, and the right to
throw up his job whenever things
did not go to suit him. Lord knows
we have done enough of both of
these thing« in our lifetime.

So we were pleased to hear Gover
nor Dewey confess to the same basic
belief. And we also agree with him
that labor has not had a fair deal
from
the
present adm nistratioa.
There have been altogether too many ¡
bureaus with over-lapping authority
and too much political thinking i i-
stead of fair-minded legal thinking
in all matters relating to labci
problems sinpe the Nev; Deal came
Uito existence. To onr mind th«j
proper function of the federal govern
ment is as a fair-minded referee to
see that the rules of the game a*
fixd by the Constitution and Congress
are properly followed. Beyond th it,
the Executive Department has ’io
business to go.

Anu now comes one of the oldest
of American weekly magazines, th"
Saturday
Evening Post,
with a
signed article, by its editor-in-chief
flatly endorsing Governor Dewey for
President.
If it were not for the
fact that no direct quotations arc-
permitted by the Post without special
perndssion, we would like to reprint
most of Mr. Hibb’s article. But we
can give you the gist of that article '
and ask you to get the September 23rd
issue of the Post and read it for your
self.
