He urged that a state subsidy

at Governor Al Smith, “the na

Sunday peeled off his coat, he'd
it under one arm and with the

What The Scottish Clergy
Did To The Common People
After They Got The Power
Seme More Quotations From Buckle, Begun By
Barry Wright In Behalf of the Common
L E e RTR
b By DAN MAGILL
As a sort of amateur student ot‘
’ litics, I sometimes find myself‘
more engrossed in the particular |
‘stra:egy employed by pol’l’cal]
,manipulators than their discus-|
fs‘;:ns of issues involved in the
campaign.
~ Sometimes lam presented with
a political paradox. For instance,
I, was somewhat surprised the
other night at the Anti-Smith
uyeeting here to witness the un
folding of a class appeal in be
half of the one party that is his
torically the servant of the grea:-
est power of the day—Money—
against the greatest Champion of |
Human Rights and the Common
People since Andrew Jackson. The
secret of 'AI Smith's success lies
4n his ability to ~xplain intricate
matters of government io the Com
mon Man rhat he may, vote in a
way that will «eevre t 0 himself his
just rights and benefits under the |
government, ’ ]
"~ The strategy of the Anti-Smith
‘meet'ng was something like this: ‘
“Here we are, the Common Peo
ple, being oppressed by the ‘rul-
Aing class’ in" Georgia (the leaders
of the Democratic organization)
and we w!;? revolt against their
pule; we will enlist the aid of the
'Fmerg_v in making this revolt a rev
;olution". That was the attitude
kme speakers. whether intentional -
ly or not, created in the minds of
their hearers. History was ap
m to, in bebali of this par
py. “The cOußiry Was
[pittéd m‘m em%m
peine done throughout the nation
during this campaign. And for
whose benefit? Why, the Repub- |
hl‘c%n Pyl oo e ]
ow, it is true, there was 1o
attempt made to have it appear
that Al Smith himself has op
- posed the Common People. Tam
many, which everyone knows is
the friend of the Common
Man in New York City, was sub
stituted for Al Smith. It was
made to appear that the political
léaders in Georgia are trying to
oppress the Common People.
What if they are? What has that
to do with their vote in a National
| Election? Why should they be led
to oppose their own Champion,
because some of his partisans act
ually are, or appear to be, em
ploying coercian in ‘his behalf? I
' do not have to condone the acti
vities of Smith leaders in Georgia
| to vote for him for the presiden-
Y. 1f I don’t like the way they
operate the Democratic Party ma.
~chinery in Georgia the time for
‘ me to act is when this machinery
‘g organized. That is, in a state
!election. Whether Al Sm'th is
elected or defeated, has nothing
whatever to do with the personnel
nor the methods employed by the
' Democratic Executive Comm'ttee.
If the people want to revoit
“against the party leaders in Geor
gia, if Barry Wright and Judge
Covington desire to lead a revolt
against the party leaders, the time
for them to arct is during a state
campaign, They have no right
to ‘ool the people into opposing
the candidacy of Al Smifth, who
has done more for the Common
People of his state than any other
political leader of the day, just
’because they don’t like the manner
the party machinery in Georgia
is being operated.
What History Shows |
A I read history, I find that re. |
peatedly when a champion of the
neonle arises his defeat is sought
by his enemies, not by oppos'ng
his particular economic theories,
but by throwing a “moral issue”
into the campaign. When Alex
ander Hamilton sought to defeat
Thomas Jefferson, he broadeas
the idea that Jefferson was im
moral, an Atheist (Jefferson’s and
Adams’ ideas on religion were |
practically the same) yet a great
section of the Clergy was seduced
into fighting the Champion of the
Common People on the grounds
that he was “an |Atheist” and
would burn the B'bles if and when
he was elected to the presidency.
And today, ‘AI Smith is made to
appear the devil., an Anti. Christ,
a vile person who has no morals
and who is the pliable tool of
Tammany Hall-——a Tammany Hall
whose conduct fifty years ago is
not judged in the light of the
soctal standards of the t'me, but
in the light of the social intelli
gence of the present day—today
Al Smith is the victim of the
same sort of tactics that were
used to beat Jefferson, for the
benefit of the political party that
allowed the servants of the people
to steal everything they could put
their hands to, without one word
of protest; a political narty whose
representative in the Interior De
partment, the same Dr. Work who
is managing Hoover's campaign
against Smith—was still attempt
ing to turn over ‘- “~'* (Creek
0l fields" o Harry Sinclair after
the country was shocked by the
exposure of the original oil steal.
And while the Common People are
fooled into bhelieving this campaign
is one in which the forces of
righteousness should butkle on
iheir ’armor, the Republican party,
impervious to public secorn, goes
merrily about its business of
throwing out a “moral issue’ for
the Common People to squabble
qver, whf'e jthe government [
retained by the same party that
allowed the most corrupt adminis
tration of the peoples’ affairs
known to American history!
Honest Prohibitionists
Now, I have repeatedly sa‘d that |
1 do not helieve that “ninety-five
per cent of the Clergy in pol‘tics
in this campaign is actuated by
religious prejudice” and I don’t
believe it now. 1 realize that there ®
are honest Prohibitionists, plenty
of them, who cannot see anything
in this campaign but the apparent
jeopardy of their 18th Amendment. '
But wny distort tne attitude of '
the Democratic Nominee toward |
Prohibition? Why say that “he
wants to give cheaper and more |
liguor” to the youth of the country
or words to that effect? Why say
‘that he wants to make liquor pro
curable for “any race” (the impli
eatigqn'g‘jQ a;t;fi 1::1111), 10, be carried out '
into - .rora ?IW g, “thereé to}
"t:??fmfifi’bcfifi “the pale of the
law, thus “imperiling the safety
of the wives and daughters” of the .
fatmer? |
. And I should like to know why
it is that every 'Anti-Smith speak
or that 1 have heard to date em
ploys h's greatest powers of elo
auence when he refers to “Martin
Luther’s defiance of the Catholic
Pope and the Roman Hierarchy?"”
It was a noble thing for him to
do, but what has that got to do
with this campa‘gn? Why bring
that up in an American political
campaign in the year 1928?
Mr. Wrieht quoted from Buck
le's “History of Civilization ‘n
England”, in his effort to make it
appear that the “ruiing class” in
Georg'a is trying to take from the
people their civil rights. He
quotes Buckle—and %o nraised
Buckle's ability as a historian—to
show ‘that the Olergy fought for
the people against the nobility.
Does ‘Mr. Wright not know that the
| “nobility” of today is not created
, by divine rieht nor blood but by
economic power? Has Mr, Wright
allowed the Common People of
Georgia to learn cf Al Smith's ef
forts to check the “economic no
bility” in New York state, in the
interests of the Common Man?
Now, let us quote from Buckle
fagain. It is true that, as Mr.
« Wright pointed out. Buckle gives
all credit to the Scottish Clergy
for its defiance of the tyranny
of the ruling classes. in society
and won for the people civil I'b
erties. {But, as Buckle pointed ont
t is hard for any individual, or
group, to restrain “tself from mis
use of power. That's why a change
in the rulers of the government
is necessary every lew years in a
Democracy.
1 quote from Buckle's history
of how the Clergy conducted it
self after it had fought for civil
liberty: “So far, the result was
éxtremely benefic'al, as it pro
duced a love of independence and
a hatred of tyranny, which, twice
during the seventeenth century,
saved the country from the yoke
of a cruyel despotism. Bui these
very circumstances which guarded
the people against political despot
‘em, exposed them a!l the more
to ecclesiastical despotism. For,
having no one to irust except
their preachers, they trusted them
entirely, and upon all subjects.
The clergy gradually became 8--
preme, not only in spiritual mat
ters, but also in temporal ones.
Late in the s'xteenth century, they
had been glad to ‘take refuge
among the people; before the mid.
dle of the seventeenth century,
they ruled the people. How shame
fully #they wfbused 'their mower,
and how, by encouraging the
worst kind of superstition, they
prolonged the reign of igmorance,
and stopped the march of society,
will be related in the course of
this chapter; but, in fairness to
them, we ought to acknowledge,
that the religious servitude into
which the Scotch fell during the
seventeenth century, was, on the
whole, a willing one, and that,
michievous as it was, it had at
least a noble arigin, inasmuch as
the influence of the Protestant
