In the letter, dated December 24, 11)311, Mr. Lucas appeals to party aides to "defend the presi dent" and join the national com mittee in conducting an aggressive, active, determined campaign from this day until the polls close, in 193:!.' "President Hoover, experienced In ways of business and expert in bundling big tilings, in npite of tin worldwide depression and unem ployment, has sustained the Amer ican scale of wages, maintained the American standard of living, prevented a nationwide money panic and kept thousands of men and women at work in every com munity who would otherwise have been listed among the unemploy ed. Democrats At Work "The past year, however, has disclosed a well-laid plan by the De m oc ra t s to e m ha r rass the Re publican administration and to discredit the president of the United States. And there has been no let-up in Haskob's 'smear Hoo ver campaign. To win in 193:! the Democrats must destroy the Re publican leader. By subtle In nuendo and Insidious propaganda, which Is being carried on by Has kob's organization in every com munity in the United States, they hope to break down the people's confidence in Herbert Hoover and thereby elect a Democrat in 1932. "As precinct leader you can give great assistance to your party and your administration if you wilt keep your precinct organization active throughout the year. Talk to your neighbors. Stand up for your party. Defend the president. We are looking to you to protect the Republican party in your pre cinct. "The national committee will carry on an aggressive, active, de termined campaign from this day until the polls close in 193;:. With your assistance your advice be fore the people, victory will be ours." SERIOUSLY ILL Willis W. Moore, Assistant Attorney General, Taken to Hospital Another May Come. Willis W.
