Is m yi naving more irou Lv5wTe' u wems 801116 ',or the more Diat- fant demagogues are forming them- Beites .uwj ft rcjy- urate camp to be known aa the Ub feral demagogues. I They consider the I other members as I reactionary denia ls gogues. Paul .Mallon What caused the split was: Several years a no. the club Pdopted a resolution restricting any member from using the pet subject of another member without permis sion. For Instance, one had TVall Street, another the power people, etc. If a new demagogue wanted to 'use the Wall Street subject, he Just noti fied the head or the Wall Street craft of the club. It was more or less rou tine, and nearly everyone was permit ted to demagogue about nearly any subject. But now one of those perpetually dissatisfied persons has gone and started something known as the C. U. D. (committee for unlimited demagog uery.) This has upset every thing. The old-line demagogues really Just believe In harmless humbuegery. like the farmer who puts the best apples at the top of the barrel. They would not fool a voter about anything seri ous, at least not much. This CUD. however, seems to be bent on putting things on a more substantial basis. Just why the CUD-men call them selves liberal Is not apparent. The word comes from liberty, but some of the economic regimentation they ad vocate means anything except liberty. In fact, they seem to recognize no connection at all between the two words liberal and liberty. Th ey are not even 1 1 be ra 1 abo u t taking other members to dinner, so the old ones say. The only liberality which they espouse la that of unre stricted appropriations of the taxpay ers money. That seems to be where the liberal title comes from. It Is expected the demagogue club will issue an order soon expelling the CUD from Its ranks. Then there will be trouble. It was not recorded generally, but President Roosevelt was asked straight out In that train Interview about the question of the government controlling indusrlal prices. This Is the hottest subject around the Inner circle now, but In such an Intangible way as to escape getting into print. Sly hints have been drop ped In choice circles about the possi bility of the government creating an "economic council" to limit industrial production and Influence prices.
