" Raskob was chairman and “financial ‘angel” of the Democratic National Committee and Shouse was executive director during the “smear Hoover” campaign.

Convention Plan Miscarried. “Well, they put the Democratic party on its feet again: they unhorsed Mr. Hoover. The convention of 1932 did not eventuate according to their hopes and plans, but that is, as Kipling put it so often, “another story.” “Incidentally the Democratic Na- tional Committee is still paying off, rather painfully, its indebtedness to the former chairman. + + “Now Messrs. Raskob and Shouse find themselves in the same boat with the dismounted Hoover; with the same objective, the breaking down of Frank- lin Roosevelt's popularity. It may ap- pear a strange fellowship, but that is how things go in politics. For example, the days of the anti-Hoover crusade Mr. Frank Kent was the most savage | assailant of the Raskob-Shouse enter- prise. Today he is marching along with them, shoulder to shoulder, while Mr. Hoover comes a-wooing.” (Copyright. 1935. by New York Herald Tribune.) —_—— rah ' _(Continued From First Page.) dated October 2, at Boise, Idaho, it must have been in the colonel’s hands about a week now. It is the first i eomprehensive statement of the cam- | paign issue, as seen by Senator Borah, since his name began to figure at or near the top of various presidential preference polls. Nearest to Open Bid. It is the nearest he has come to ndicating his possible availability for the Republican presidential nomina- tion, despite the fact that he has turned 70. Among the various political implications read into the letter is the thought that he may be suggesting Col. Roosevelt as a possible running mate. Senator Borah has consistently re- fused to discuss for publication the boom for his nomination for President. In the campaign of 1912, when for- mer President Theodore Roosevelt split the Republican party with his Bull Moose movement, Senator Borah, after careful deliberation stood pat in the - Republican party, even though he wi | - fated a “progressive” and friendly to ‘the Roosevelt philosophy. Senator Borah's letter follows: “Col. Theodore Roosevelt, “President National Republican Club, *“New York City. “My dear colonel: _ “T greatly appreciate your telegram honoring me with an invitation to speak before the National Republican Club. “If things move satisfactorily and the invitation still holds, I shall seek to find time to do so. But I will be at home or in the West for some time | (as long as I can find an excuse for remaining at home), and after that _I hope to meet some invitations in the East. “I do mot know, colonel, just how our friends in the East are viewing the situation. But it seems to me “ there is upon tre part of those who are in authority in the party a woeful silence upon subjects which ought “frankly to be discussed—issues which ‘we must either seize hold of and offer a program concerning them, or as a party we will pass on to another humiliating defeat and finally into utter demoralization and decay. Fears “Betrayal” of Cause. “It seems to be thought we can re- | turn to power upon the constitutional question alone. However vital that question may be, however high the " place it should hold in any party pro- gram—and I minimize neither—yet, without an aggressive, comprehensive program on economic matters, we shall not only fail of party success, but, in my opinion, we shall really betray the very cause of constitutional gov- ~ernment itself. We should realize and act upon that realization that, with- out the adjustment of our economic problems, the Constitution will in- -evitably give way to thé fearful im- pact of human suffering and human passion. The constitutional guarantee of liberty can survive only and alone +when economic freedom is assured and permanently obtains. To urge con- |3 Sstitutional integrity and shirk prob- Jems, which alone determine the fail- ure or success of constitutional gov- * ernment is the program of mere party A democracy? For the people or for | their economic masters? Both the old | | parties have been, and are, continually | conniving at the reign of monopoly. | One refuses when in power to enrorcel | the law against monopoly and the| {other when in power suspends the 1law and removes all embarrassments or impediments to its ruthless ac- tivities. “The cost of llving is now becoming | an acute matter, a thing of distressing concern to many American families. What is the real cause? It is claimed |it is due to the increase in farm prices. The increase in farm prices | accounts for a very small portion of this increased cost of living and in a | | number of things it accounts for no | part of the raise. The real cause is found in the power of monopolies and | combines to manipulate and fix prices. | The increase takes place between the [time it leaves the farm and the time it reaches the consumer. The internal | | revenue reports disclose unmistakably | { how this recovery is being distributed. | “The question of monopoly touches every problem with which we have | to do, with economic justice, the res- | toration of purchasing power to the | masses, the protection of independent | business, protection of the people ! from exorbitant prices; 1. is driving us to all kinds of communistic, fas- cistic schemes of control. Says Leaders Are Tied. | | | | “Now the question is: Are we pre- | pared to deal with this and the kin- dred problems to which it gives rise? Are we so fatuous as to assume that | | the American people wiil return to | | power a party which submits to the | | leadership of men who are so moto- | riously tied into, or represent, these interests? “I am perfectly aware, of cnume,] that there are other questions, taxes, | | debts, Government expenditures, regi- | | mentation, bureaucracy, che currencyf ]pmblem and so forth. This question | jof monopoly lies at the base. It is the | | test. It was Republican leadership | | which in 1890 placed upon the statute | { books an uncompromising condemna- | i tion of all monopolies and combines | and gave us a law which has been | ‘lpproprlltely termed by the Supreme Court a charter of liberty. I am in { favor of golng back and taking up | their work where tnese leaders left | off and make the party what it once | was, the servant of the people—those were the days when the party was in- vincible. - “This letter is too long.
