PTGE EIGHT BEDFORD MAIL TRIBUyE, MEDFORD, OREGON. TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 11. 193S. 10 STATE DOMINANCE, KELLY JECLARESj Democrats Will Take 2-1 Party Lead, He States New Deal Achievements Cited. Critics Attacked Oregon ie destined to be com Dem ocratic in the ratio of two to one, a meeting of the Young Democrat' club of Jackson county was told last night by Edward c. Kelly, legal ad viser for the public works adminls- trtaion In Portland. "The Republican party hea become the reactionary party Mr. Kelly sid. "It la owned by the reaction aries of the country and reactionaries are flocking to It. "The Democratic party, on the other band, la the progressive party and progressives all over the country are rallying to it emu. Like other west ern states, Oregon haa been progrca alve. It haa been progressive In the ratio of two to one and It 1 natural that the Democratic party, which. ap peals to progressives, should eata fl ush the same ratio. We are destined to outnumber the Republicans tn this state two to one." Expense to lie !sue. The principal campaign Issue In the presidential contest this year will not be the constitution, aa many belle vo, but rather It will be expenditure and bureaucracy, Mr. Kelly said. "The Republicans will cry wast and . extravagance and bureaucracy, and we can meet every question they will raise," the apeaker declared. "They will try to put us on the defensive and that la where we must watch out. We must not let them put ua on the defensive. We have the facta and we should marshal these facta so that we can meet every generality that la uttered by the reactionaries. It will be their tactics to criticize In gener alities; It should be our policy to an swer with facta taken from the rec ord." Mrs. Kelly spoke briefly on the or ganisation of women, aaylng that very precinct should be organized so that there wlU be at least one woman and one young Democrat working with the regular committee. Tells of Parties. Mrs. Kelly spoke also of the differ ent atmosphere prevailing et various press con fere noes In Waahlntgon, D. O., and told of some of the Whtle House partlos she haa attended. Mr. and Mrs. Kelly, long residents of Medfoxd, resided for some time In the national capital before Mr. Kelly was transferred to Portland. They are now on vacation. Mr. Kelly dwelled on some of the aoompllahmenta of the New Deal, emphasising that when President Roosevelt entered office conditions throughout the nation were so acute ly distressful that draatlo Action had to be taken Immediately to avert a national catastrophe. "Or! tics of the New Deal, now that they oan see daylight again, have conveniently forgotten the horrible oondltlona pre vailing when President Roosevelt entered the white House,' Mr. Kelly said. "Something had to be done and done In a hurry, and although the president acted swiftly nothing waa done impulsively or ir rationally. The administration's pro gram waa thought out carefully un der tha advice of the most competent experta available. MIA Turning Point. "What was done waa the beat and moat effective thing that could be done and the beat proof of that Is that the administrations program worked until parte of It were knock ed out by the supreme court." Mr. Kelly then told of some of the accomplishments of the admlnlstra tlon. "You may aay what you choose about NRA, you may orltldns It all you like, but you cannot escape the fact that the KRA was the turning point of the depression," the speaker declared. Mr. Kelly referred to the govern ment's Insurance of bank deposits, averring that the thrifty can now put their savings in the bank with the knowledge that their money ts aft. Deposit Insurance, he said, has sharply reduced bank failures. Bank Kail u re Recalled. Under Hoover, banks were failing at tha rate of 4,000 a year." Mr. Kelly asserted. "flii.ee Mr. Roosevelt took ofice bank failures have been re duced to about 100 a year. If tht ln1 an accomplishment to be proud of and a service to the people. I should like to know what ii." TVA, he stated, was designed to re duce rates so that all the people might enjoy the benefits of electricity, poner Comnitnlea Crltlclied. "Do you know," he asked, "thatonly 1A percent of ttte farms of the coun try are electrified? The power com panies hare not been In teres ted in serving the farmers. With TVA fac 1 rig them, howe ver, t hey are now showing much concern over the farm ers' welfare. In Mississippi, for In stance, the power companies are now hastening to serve the farmers, to stave off TVA. The snit thing Is bsppenlnc In Oregon and Washing ton. where private power companies are faced by Bonneville dam." Large as the sum Is. the federal government haa not spent so much money on relief aa ww twin ft jent by states, counties aud municipalities before Mr. Roosevelt took office. Mr. KwJly averred. "If that had kept up the states, counties and communities would lon since have become bankrupt and even then only a small proportion of the distressed people would have been agisted," he stated. C tihen lral. "I recall very vividly how much was being spent by Me rl ford and Jack son county without making any ap preciable dent in the relief problem. If that hart gone on much longer the city and county would now be bank rupt. The reactionaries who are crnn; bout expenditure pytnt wlU alarm. I for one thing, to tha civilian oonasr- ration corps. Well, the COC, In all, haa taken one million young men from our city street and turned them into useful citizens. The OCC la do ing a useful work and the amount of money It eaves la far In excess of the cost. "In preventing and controlling for est fires alone the CCC haa saved the country millions of dollars. You can see that for yourselves right here In Oregon. You know that It la noth ing for a forest fire to destroy a mil lion dollars worth of timber. But the COO is saving the country that huge sum thst used to go up In forest fire amoke." Calls for Facta. Mr. Kelly urged hla audience to keep in touch with the central Demo cratic committee, to become familiar with the administration's accomplish menta. "Get the facta," Mr. Kelly advised, "and be ready for the generalities that will be hurled at us by the re actionaries" Moore Hamilton, president of the Young Democratic club, waa chair man of the meeting. Several of the old line Democrat were present, In cluding Postmaster Frank DeSou&i, whose motion for a rising vote of thanks for Kelly's talks was carried unanimously.

KELLY FORESEES Insincere Prayer Like Crossed Wire Avers Rev, Dawes "Crossed Wires" was the subject of Rev. W. A. Dawes' discourse Sunday morning at the First Baptist clrurch. He related how he went to high school on a street car one day when a crossed wire fell across the trolley and every thing stopped. "Hindrance to prayer." he said, "Is like crossed wires. We may repeat the Lords prayer and not be praying. Prayer is talking things over with God, with a sincere dwire. The minds and spirits of Christians who have been much with God, arc uplifted." Rev. Dawes gave several reasons why prayers are not answered, calling them "crossed wires." In tht evening the sermon subject was "Looking and Living." The pas tor said: "In Corinthians we have the best method of Bible study, com paring scripture with scripture. The Bible ts the best commentator on It self. The new (testament) Is In the old contained; the old Is In the new explained." 4- The HOBBfl WALL STEAMSHIP COMPANY, PIER 17, SAN FRAN CISCO, who connecta with the Med-ford-Crescent City Truck Line for shipments to southern Oregon, are re suming their regular weekly sailing schedule starting Saturday, February 18.
