F.D.R. and Boss Kelly
In answer to repeated S.O.S. pleas from Mayor
Edward J. Kelly of Chicago, who fears a Republican
victory, President Roosevelt has agreed to speak in
that city on, or before, October 28th.
Some good people, of a rather gullible type, have
refused to regard thff alleged political alliance be
tween the New Dealers, and the underworld gangsters
of the large cities in this country, as either a fact, or
a real menace.
Here is proof of the first.
If the alliance did NOT exist, President Roosevelt
would hardly accept Boss Kelly's invitation, when he
has refused to accept so many others, on the ground
that urgent war duties of his office would not permit.
THE plain truth is that in every national election
since he became President, Franklin Delano
Roosevelt has taken full advantage of the corrupt big
city Democratic machines,
re-election.
No political observer of
cratic or Republican, would
Nor would any such authority deny that such an
alliance is a serious menace to good government in
this country.
In fact here is a PERFECT example of why this
is true.
President Roosevelt with
popularity and tremendous
Chicago under the auspices
er the President publicly endorses the Kelly machine
or doesn't, his mere appearance under such auspices,
will further strengthen and entrench that corrupt
machine not only in Chicago and Cook County, but
throughout the state.
Say what you will, or thmk as you will, about the
pure crusading quality of the Democratic administra
tion at Washington, here is this undeniable fact :
Every year it continues
destructive force of political machine conniption in
this country, is EXTENDED and INCREASED 1
Vote for Cordon, Morse
and Ellsworth
In all seriousness and regardless of politics, it
would be a calamity if any candidate on the Republi
can congressional ticket for this section of the state
this year should be defeated.
For never before in the history of Southern Oregon
has such a strong, effective delegation, in both the
Upper and Lower Houses of the Congress been pre
sented. "Never" covers a lot of territory but that is the
literal truth. ,
"TWO of them have already served in the Senate
and House and made excellent records, the third
has never before held public office, but in the consid
ered judgment of this department, will, if elected,
make one of the most able and distinguished U. S.
Senators the state of Oregon has ever had.
XE grant the national party issues should not be
ignored. But after all when one gets down to
brass-tacks, what is more important to the welfare of
this section of the 6tate, and the people in it, the kind
of delegation we have in Washington, in the direction
of getting results, getting what we need and want,
or the precise attitude that may or may not exist in
the future regarding another League of Nations, or
whether Italy should be a democracy or a dictatorship
of the proletariat.
Needless to add this ticket we so strongly endorse
is composed of Guy Cordon, present incumbent, for
the short term in the U. S. Senate; Wayne Morse for
the long term; and Han-is Ellsworth of Roseburg
for re-election in the House.
X7HATEVER else you do Mr. and Mrs. Voter,
and we are speaking to Democrats as well as
Republicans, mark your ballot for CORDON,
MORSE AND ELLSWORTH thus giving Southern
Oregon the sort of strong, effective, cooperative rep
resentation in Washington it has never had before,
and if the opportunity should be muffed this time,
probably will never have an opportunity to secure
again 1
This is "IT" for the 96th.
Medford and Jackson County have never been far
from the war with some of our boys fighting and
dying on practically every battle front.
But with the 96th under General Bradley now head
ing the invasion of the Philippines, it surely does
strike home.

SEE BLUE TIMES
UNDER G.O.P. RULE
Minneapolis, Oct. 21 (U.R
Vice-President Henry A. Wal
lace, making his major mid-west
address, said tonight that Presi
dent Roosevelt was the "door
way of opportunity to the farm
er and worker," while his op
ponent was "the doorway of op
portunity merely for Wall
Street."
"The vote on November 7
will show how many people are
with Wall Street rather than
with the farmer and the work
er," Wallace said.
"Tie republican party, na
tionally speaking, had no in
terest then and has no interest
now in farmers except from the
standpoint of votes and as a
source of cheap raw materials,"
he said. "I do not say that farm
prices this time will fall as fast
as In 1920 should Dewey be
elected as they did after Harding
was elected, but I do predict that
under a republican administra
tion the net farm income will be
cut in half within a few years."
Butte, Mont., Oct. 21 U.R)
Sen, Harry S. Truman, prepar
ing to move from the west into
republican strongholds in the
central states, said today that
the voters could "not afford to
take a chance on a congress
made up of the Nyes and the
Tafts." 1
Continuing to emphasize his I
argument that the nation could I
not take a chance on new lead
ership, Truman spoke at a lunch-!
eon meeting sponsored by the!
Silver Bow county democratic
organization. He planned to
leave tonight for Minneapolis
after visiting a nearby copper
mine.
Calling for the reelection of
President Roosevelt and a demo.
cratic congress, the vice presi
dential nominee told the lunch
eon audience:
"You can't take a chance on a
man with no experience in con
ducting the war. a man with no
military experience of his own,
man who has never made a
specific statement on what he
Intends to do.
You can't take a chance on
congress made up of the Nyes!
and the Tafts. Many of such are
not Interested in the welfare of
the country as a whole, they are
only interested in their own
ends."
