ated Thinking Out: Loud By H. M. L. COVERS RICHEST GOLD AREA IN CALIFORNIA Nevada City Nugget in The Liberty of the Press consists : _ the right to publish the Truth, with good motives and for justifiable ends. ton. From the Californian, March 15, 1848: \ —Alexander HamiiThe Old Guard in both political parties may just as well make up their minds that in this presidential campaign all party lines are down.:The main issue, is whether _ or not this democracy is so, bankrupt of leadership that it must employ in its highest office the same man for 12 years. Whether despite the warnings of Washington, Jefferson and Jackson, to mention three presidents most strongly opposed to a third term, this nation will again succumb to the bland sophistries of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, is the issue. Will the electorate override those warnings. Democrats are flocking ~to the Hoosier standard. In another column today we publish an editorial from the Cleveland Plain Dealer, a paper which for a hundred years has supported. the Democratic party. The editor interrupts that long record to oppose Mr. Roosevelt’s third term ambition. From one coast to the other voices are raised against Mr. Roosevelt’s assumption that he is the Indispensable Man in this critical time of our history. Showing that party lines have ‘been submerged in the third-term erisis now confronting this country is the rapid enrollment of Willkie Volunteers throughout the 48 states. This is a non-partisan organization in which members of all political parties can rally to the Willkie banner without changing their party registration. Even now, only two days after the keynote speech of Mr. Willkie in his Indiana home town, Ellwood, the number of clubs bearing his name ranges into. the thousands and the membership into hundreds of thousands. We are wonderine whether the precedent breaking Mr. Roosevelt will accept the challenge to debate the issues of the campaign with Wendell Willkie on public rostIf he refuses he will disa‘rums: point his own, as well as Willkie supporters, It will be remembered that Abraham Lincoln did not, disdain to debate the issue of negro bondage with Stephen Douglas, democratic candidate for the presidency. The issue which the two presidential candidates should debate, ig whether the bondage upon American citizens imposed and contemplated by the New Deal should continue; whether private industry should be released from _ the drastic and sometimes whimsical regulations of bureaus which restrict production and expansion; * whether business interests shall be denied justice by fiat of the Labor Board, for instance, or whether all government bureaus shall be required to submit their decisions to a court of justice, whenever either party to a dispute shall so elect. Putting it another way, the issue at. the polls in November is whether or not the American people shall relinquish their powers of government to a small group in Washington. Of course whenever Congress delegates its authority to the President or one of the govern-* mental bureaus, by that much have the people been deprived of a voice in government, Wendell Willkie made it quite clear that he believes in government regulation of business. The American . people were long ago resigned to giving up that much power to the Federal government. Abuse of business freedom is license, just as it is for individuals whose ideas of liberty violate the rights of fellow citizens. License must be curbed, and, in the case.of interstate business the Federal government must do it. But that is a long cry from giving ‘a governmental board power exercise its own discretion regarding regulation, happens government by law ceases and government by men begins, to Tondell Willkie does not promise Americans an easy way out of our internal and external troublas. He promises us thatif. we take the hard -road,.by toil and sweat he will do his best at the helm. He will spend as little money as possible tg bring back prosperity. He does not even promise us lower taxes, as Mr. Roosevelt did in 1932. He makes no appeal to greed and the love of ease, and utters no prayer to the lunatic red fringe, In brief, as one commentator points out his philosophy is that of the work bench, and not of the pig trough.
