DANGER IS
MINIMIZED
OF REVOLT
NATIONAL ELECTION
ONE WEEK AWAY.
One week from tomorrow, the
national general election takes
place and the people of the coun
try will go to the polls to express
their preference — Roosevelt or
Landon.
Political oratory, sometimes tak
en very seriously by those who
follow the “mouthings” of par
tisanship, has been overwhelming
this fall. Starting with early
newspaper campaigns and minor
addresses before thinly veiled ex
cuses, political candidates have
gradually worked themselves in
to'a vertiable frenzy of patriotic
eloquence. Their listeners have
likewise followed the general
course of audiences, going from
one address to another with vary
ing opinions concerning the fu
ture of the country.
The United States has seer
numerous depressions, each one
characterized as devastating and
the most severe of all times. 11
has recovered, to again fall intc
another one. The age-old cry
that “the country is going tc
Hell,” if the other side is elected
is heard even today. Regardless
of which party occupies the chaii
after November 3rd, there is one
certainty that the country is defi
nitely not going into revolution
or dictatorship.
That stage has been passed. 11
was passed two days after Presi
dent Roosevelt occupied the
White House, when he declared
the national bank holiday, refus
ing to allow funds to be with
drawn from banks, many of whi
ch were being managed and run
in such a thoroughly incompetent
manner, that their existence was
a threat to the future of hundreds
and thousands of depositors and
citizens throughout the country
Since then, the financial struc
ture of the nation has been buill
on the solid foundation of goverr
mental restriction in the handling
of other people’s money, govern
mental protection to a never
before degree, and the talk of i
collapse of the financial backbons
of the nation has been ended, &
no murmur has been heard foi
the past three years.
Nations of people do not throw
their country into revolution oj
dictatorship when business ii
good; when people have work
when their children are beinf
clothed and are going to school
when the wheels of industry o
