LETTER FROM OUR
CONGRESSMAN
Capitol Hill, Washington, D. C.
January 11, 1941.
My dear Constituents; The ses
sion of last Monday was most im
portant and will be cited as one of
the historic days of Congress. At
one o’clock the House and Senate
met jointly in the house chamber
to solemnly canvass the returns of
the electors and to officially declare
the result of the last Presidential
election. Senators Connally of Tex
as, and Austin of Vermont had been
appointed tellers on the part of the
Senate, while Representatives Ram
speck of Georgia, and Tinkham of
Massachusetts were tellers for the
House. Vice President Garner and
Speaker Rayburn occupied the pre
siding officer’s station, while Sena
tor Connally received the returns
from the other tellers and announced
them. So you see Texas was dis
tinctly in charge of counting the
electoral votes, as the Vice Presi
dent, the Speaker, and Senator Con
nally are all distinguished sons of
the Lone Star State.
After the electoral votes were
counted, it was ascertained that
Franklin Delano Roosevelt, of New
York, had received 449 electoral
votes for President of the United
States and Henry Agard Wallace,
of the State of lowa, had received
449 electoral votes for Vice Presi
dent, they receiving all of the elec
toral votes except the 82 received
by Wendell L. Willkie and Charles
L. McNary, from the 10 States of
Colorado, Indiana, lowa, Kansas.
Maine, Michigan, Nebraska, North
Dakota, South Dakota, and Vermont.
Thus the election of President Roose
velt and Vice President Wallace was
declared, the first time in the his
tory of this nation any man was
formally elected President for a
hird term.
After a recess of thirty minutes
the Congress reassembled in joint
session to receive the message of
the President on the State of the
Nation. Promptly at two o’clock the
President entered, preceded by mem
bers of his cabinet. He was cheer
ed for many minutes by the Demo
cratic members, but the Republicans
gave him no cheers when he enter
ed nor at any time during his ad
dress, in which he asked for unstint
ed aid to Great Britain and her al
lies and those “resolute peoples ev
erywhere who are resisting aggres
sion and are thereby keeping war
away from our hemisphere.” The
President said that he considered
the moment “unprecedented in the
history of the Union, because at no
previous time has American Securi
ty been as seriously threatened
from without as it is today.” I will
not quote further from his message
as you no doubt have read it.
On Wednesday the President laid
before Congress a “total defense
budget,” earmarking over ten bil
lion dollars for n drive to speed the
flow of munitions.
Wednesday afternoon the Demo
cratic members met in caucus and
elected three of their number to
membership on the powerful Ways
and Means Committee.
Everyone is making arrangements
for the inauguration which will take
place on January 20. A beautiful
platform has been erected in front
of the Capitol on which the Presi
dent will take the oath, and seats
have boon erected on the plaza in
front for the public. Grand stands
are being erected along the avenues
down which the inagural parade will
march. Everything possible is be
ing done to take care of the crowds
that will be here, and they are al
ready arriving as the hotels are
crowded.
It is believed now that the Pres
ident will leave the White House
at 11:30 a. m. for the Capitol. The
oath will be administered at noon
and the inaugural address will fol
low. The President then will re
turn to the White House for lun
cheon. In the aternoon he will take
his place in the reviewing stand that
he helped design and review the in-
Miscellany
This column entirely agrees with
Mr. Westbrook Pegler, only more so,
about swing. Not only do we eval
uate it as a “combination of squawks,
squeals and moans,” but we go still
further: we say it is a vulgar adap
tation of bathroom noises. He calls
it a “frowsy expression” of the low
er nature, saying that it originated
in a low brothel on West Madison
St. in Chicago. It must have, for
it is that sort of product.
Somewhere in between those high,
shrill horns at the top, and the per
sistent Johnny-one-note dook-dook
dook-dooks of the bass, there is in
tended to be a tune of some kind.
But it is so blurred and batted about,
with its stump-my-toe distortion of
time, that it is a worse deformity
than the hunchback of Notre Dame.
And so we look upon this con
tention between ASCAP and the
Broadcasters as a slight relief from
some of our modern so-called music.
It’s like the lion and the bear which
stole upon the flock. Then they
stole upon each other, and in the
imbroglio, the sheep were spared.
Only, there’s still entirely too much
torturing of the sweet old ballads,
that if left alone might indeed, as
Mr. Pegler says, create a revival of
taste.
And to think that Swing is called
America’s contribution to music!
Better to have “complete and end
less silence” from America than a
continuation of these toots and wails.
Can it be possible that those who
are never converted die like the
pigeon and the pig? That those who
are converted but apostatize make
up the region of the condemned?
\nd that only those few who do con
vert and remain so, make up the
leaven of the good?
The astounding thought that may
be one IS born into immortality at
his conversion is enough to hold the
human mind almost spellbound.
“Ye MUST be born again,” said
the Saviour on the house top. “That
which is born of flesh is flesh, and
that which is born of Spirit is spirit.”
“Flesh and blood cannot inherit
eternal life.”
