VOLUME 2-NUMER 142 Savannah Morning News Denounces Roosevelt, Chatham’s Republican Paper Runs True To Form FARLEY BLASTS G.O.P TICKET IN VITRIOLIC TERMS SAYS LANDON SYNTHETIC CANDIDATE AND GRAB BAG SOLUTION WASHINGTON, June 13 (TP)— Withering comment upon the doings at the Republican national conven tion came from the Democratic gen eralissimo today. Said Farley: “The Republican party has set the stage for the great comedy of 1936 by nominating a syn thetlc candidate on a counterfeit new deal platform.’’ “This Is the weakest ticket ever nominated in the history of the party,’’ he continued, “and it is doomed to overwhelming defeat. Calls Party Bankrupt Speaking of Landon, Farley was vitriolic. “His nomination is a con fession of guilt on the part of a bank rupt Republican party,” said Farley. “In effect the American people are asked to perform the dangerous ex periment of turning over the reins of government to a man whose record has been concealed, whose views are a mystery, and whose career in pub lic life is without a single achieve ment to indicate that he is equipped for the exacting duties of the White House.” “No one knows what he stands for, what he wants or what he proposes to do,” Farley concluded. The Republican nominee was la belled as his party's “grab-bag'’ solu tion of its problems by Farley this afternoon. Hints at Grab Bag Said Farley: "At a time when crucial foreign and domestic prob lems are pressing for solution, the Republican party is imploring the voters to Install a grab-bag president In control of the nation’s affairs. “I wonder how the Republican leaders keep from laughing oub loud,’’ Farley continued, “at the gigantic hoax they are trying .to put over on the country. First they denounce President Roosevelt’s policies for whipping the depression as dangerous and radical, and then they nominate a man who advocated policies far more drastic than the chief executive ever thought of attempting.” The convention adopted a plat form calling for "sound currency to be presented at all hazards." Gover nor Landon adds a hazy interpreta tion about a gold basis. The amazing part about this is that less than three years ago he was urging President Roosevelt to inflate the currency and pay off the .fourth liberty loan in greenbacks.” Farley charged that the Republic ans had selected Landon because they were afraid to fight the New Deal on Its merits. “Why did they select a candidate,” he asked, “who as late as a year ago, when campaigning in a state en thusiastic forth? New Deal, was pleading that he had co-operated with the New Deal better than the Demo crats." “The answer is obvious,” Farley ' concluded, “the Republicans were i afraid to go before the voters on a atraightout test of repudiation or en dorsement of the New Deal.” DISABLED FISHING BOAT ; TOWED INTO HARBOR NEW BEDFORD.

The leaguers had an of fice at Cleveland. Their campaign never made a ripple in the Republic an stampede for Landon and Knox. But the founder and director of the league. Miss Lillian Rook of New' York, hopes to make a better show ing at Philadelphia. Experts doubt, though, whether the Democrats will seriously consider re placing Garner with anyone at a time when an aggressive Republican lead ership is rallying its forces for a smashing attack on the New Deal.

Widespread and heated comment has been evoked in Savan nah and throughout this section by an open bid for a fusion of Democrats and Republicans to defeat President. Roosevelt in Georgia made Friday in an editorial in the Savannah Morning News. The suggestion of the Savannah Morning News issue of June 12th captioned “Landon For President,” boldly and open ly inviting Democrats to desert their party and vote for the Re publican nominee, Alf M. Landon, brought an immediate storm of protest from the ranks of all loyal leaders of the Democratic party in this section. ’ Brennan Not Surprised. Said Henry M. Brennan, president of the Young Democratic Clubs of Chatham county, Savannah attorney, prominent in the affairs of the local and national bar associations, as well as a leading figure in the social, civic and political life of the city: “While I do not approve of the editorial in the Savannah Morning News on Governor Landon, and consider it an un fair and unwarranted attack on the administration, yet, because of the Republican tendencies of the Savannah Morning News in the past, it was not surpris ing.” General William L. Grayson, clerk of the Superior Court of Chatham county, beloved leader in practically every phase of activity touching the citiaenrv of,the county, chairman of the Roosevelt campaign committee in Chatham county, warm personal friend of the President, and long prominent in the community's civic, social and political affairs, was highly indignant and disappointed at the hostility to President Roosevelt ev inced in the Savannah Morning News editorial. General Grayson said: “The editorial in Friday's Savan nah Morning News Is very unfortun ate in a Democratic community, a community overwhelmingly for Roosevelt. It does not by any means reflect the sentiment of the commun ity. This statement will be verified when the people go to the polls In November.” • ♦ • ' Urges Desertion. The lead editorial in the Savannah Morning News of June 12. captioned “Landon For President," unmistakab ly inviting Democrats to desert their party said in part: "... To all those, regardless of party affiliations, who believe that it is time to call a halt on the extrava gant government policies, which have plunged the country far deeper into debt than ever before in its history and have caused the nation to drift dangerously near the yawning chasm of despotism, the Republicans are of fering the opportunity to support a man who is the very antithesis of the theorists in control of the shaping of affairs in Washington.” This bid was augmented by " a tirade against the Roosevelt adminis tration, generally, attempting to dis credit the President of .the- United States, and charging his administra tion with sponsoring wild projects.

WEEK DAYS PAY NO MORE TRANSRADIO PRESS torial numerous loyal Democrats called upon the Savannah Daily Times to vigorously protest the at tack upon the party. The remarks of one of these callers embodied the pro test of practically all of the others when he said: “There can be no excuse for such an attack upon the Democratic par ty which is so well entrenched in the hearts of an overwhelming majority of the citizens of Chatham county and surrounding sections. T am very glad indeed to be in formed that the Savannah Daily Times is to set forth unequivocally it, position regarding the November election. I am confident that just as in the past when the call of the Savannah Dally Times to loyal Dem ocrats to support their party, or make known their exact position has prov en very enlightening, future like de mands of your paper will result in Interesting revelations. I agree thor oughly in the opinion of your news paper that no such suggestion as that offered by the Morning News will be heeded. I side with you too in the stand that it is only right and proper that the citizenry should know the names of those who so loudly protest their love for the party of the people but who stand silently by when it is atacked.” Reporters were sent to interview several Savannahians, politically prominent and reputed loyal to the Roosevelt policies. Several of them apparently lacked the courage to publicly express their loyalty. Their ' excuses, evasive as they were, clearly showed their loyalty was outweighed by other Interests which prevented them from taking an unequivocal stand for their party, much less de fending it from attack. Mayor Won’t Comment Calling upon the Mayor of Savan nah for his reaction to the Morning News editorial, a reporter of The Times was Informed by Mayor Gam ble: "I have no comment to make. If I . did care to comment I would npt express my opinion to an editor and publisher who formerly ran for State Senator on the Republican ticket, and whose chief advisor is now in Cleveland as a Republican delegate to the 1936 Republican convention, and which advisor formerly served as collector of customs under Herbert Hoover." (Editor’s Note. Mayor Gamble did not indicate to which newspaper—-If would file a protest regard ing the Morning News editorial en dorsing Landon for the presidency. The Savannah Daily Times anxiously awaits his decision. The Times feels r\ a mwl n . whatever newspaper Mr. Gambk ehooses in which to com- £ ublic expects mayor to defend his party against the in ?h C Presld ent Roosevelt in the Morning news, labelled “Landon for President.”).
