One piece of mince pie almost any stomach can digest. ‘But two pieces will tax the majority of alimentary Systems. It declare. Too many ingredients wideis too rich, housewives ly varying in food value makes the Mince pie really a hodgepodge of good things. But one piece, ah, yes, ower Most of us can relish one piece and One piece of Rooseveltian mince pie and Uncle Sam is holding up his and in the ‘halt?’ signal. “No more, please,’ says your. uncle. Granting that this alphabetical pie had some ingredients of value to this nation in distress, it does not follow for a moment that we could digest another serving of the same. There have been almost as great a variety of cooks as there are ingredients in ‘that pie The cooks ranged from the deep red of Rex Tugwell, to the bright pink of Secretary Wallace, from the moderate conservatism. of Secretary Roper tu anti-bellum! conservatism of Secretary Hull. From’ the Gentleman Farmer Morgenthau, pitchfork into the enormous job of the Treasury, to Idealist Harry Hopkins, spender-inchief for relief, all shades of economic thought are represented in the cooks who have baked us this thirteen billion dollar mince pie. And speaking of pie, tical sense, let in the polius not forget General Jim Farley. With spotless white ayron covering that enormous paunch, and spotless white cap surmounting his crafty! dome, he would be the very spit and image of the traditional dispenser of food. He is in fact, the big lusty of the pie dispensers of the Roosevelt administration. General Jim trading relief jobs for votes. General Jim giving 260,000 pieces of Federal pie to as many deserving Democrats. General Jim sending eleven army ‘pilots to their death when he wrecked the air mail service and substituted army planes in order to teach the private airline companies to be mannerly. No, we cannot.forget General Jim. With this curious motley of cooks who have turned out over 200 alphabetical dishes in three. years, no wonder this country yearns for a change. In order to be convinced we need .a.change,.is is not necessary.-to leaning; even though. Rex Tugwéll, one of his principal advisers makes no bones of his communistic faith. For we do not for a moment believe that President Roosevelt, patrician born and-bred, and inheritor of one of the oldest fortunes in the United States, is a communist. It is not in the cards. In his leisure and social interims his associates are all of tha old American aristocracy. For the common man, who digs and delves, for the little forgotten taxpayer, who walks humbly bearing on_ his back this enormeus burden of debt, the President expresses a sympathy which he cannot feel. Because no man reared as the President has been, can feel the sympathy, that Abraham Lincoln did, for instance, for the men who must earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. For did he feel sympathy he would be more tender of the burden he piles on the little fellow’s back. Sympathy needs more than words for true expression. We need not go far afield to see what’s wrong with the Roosevelt policies. Here in Nevada City we are feeling the heavy hand of the administration’s clumsy and costly relief efforts. A city hall construction that drags on interminably, adding day ‘by day to the tax butdens ments begun and unfinished, projects here and there left up in the air. It is all very -well to say that these projects were begun to provide work relief, and that only, but any “‘planned economy” that leaves the tax payers out on a limb in the cold, must eventually fail, and better now than four years later. iMr. and Mrs. Milton Noyes moved into their cosy new home on Gold Flat this week.

Englebright,, Republican whip in the House of Representativ-: es, and the probably the next Republican: Speaker of the House, spiked this story by quoting from Landon’s _ telegram to the Republican National Convention. “The answer. to the question that has been raised,’ said Englebright ‘‘whether Landon ; would reduce the price of gold i below $35 an ounce, is obsolutely NO.” The Congressman ‘then quoted Governor Landon. Regarding the sound money plank in the Republican platform, Governor Landon in his wire stated: i “The convention advocates a sound currency to be preserved at all hazards. I agree that the first requisite to a sound and , The second requisite, as I To Sweep P.M. Henderson of th an National Committee ers in Chicago will be speaker and guest at a big Republican rally this evening -in Serra Hall Grass Valley. The. purpose of the meeting tonight is to launch the National Republican Committee program in Nevada and Sierra counties, particularly to co-ordinate the efforts ~ of state and county organizations and earry all activities through to November 3. Paul Ulrich, of Chicago Park, chairman of the Nevada County Central Committee stated yesterday that he was confident. Nevada county would give Landon and Knox a majority over Roosevelt and Gare Republicner. -Chairman Ulrich declafed: “I know scores of men and women, registered as Democrats, who are erying “Enough!’”’ and who will vote for the Republican candidates. Monday night, October 14, there will be a big dinner of non-partisan at Bret Harte Inn at which it is expected that 100 will be present. Last Friday night’s meetjng in the National Hotel, Nevada City was in the nature of an ovation for the Republican candidates. More than forty sat down to dinner and heard Congressman Harry’ Englebright refute.the latest canard, put out by Democratic leaders, respecting Landon’s attitude on sound money and gold. The address of Congressman Englebright follows: The present campaign in which Republicans and in which all of thé people of the nation regardless of party affiliations are vitally interested is perhaps the most important and most serious campaign in the history of this country since the Civil War. Perhaps none of us realize the full extent the issues before the eountry, but in time_to come we undoubtedly all will remember this campaign as one of the great turning points in American history. Eighty years ago, when the Re~ publican party held its first convention it»was organized to maintain the American form of free and representative government, to uphold American traditions and to defend the Constitution and American institutions. It never has departed from those fundamental purposes. The Republican platform of eighteen hundred and fifty six,. declared “that the maintenance of the principle promulgated in the Declaraaft Iaferendence ant aembetta we Fs = Bane t the Tedgerai i id = tnt Fential + uae o the Repubdtican Institutions.” g preserration ef cue ried about three months ago. headquart-: Republicans on March Nev. County ——-— of the men of all parties, however differing from us in other respects,’’ but who believed ‘that the spirit of our institutions as well as the Constitution of our Country guarantees liberty of conscience and equality of rights among citizens.” Today the Republican party takes the same position and extends to all Americans the same invitation in support of its position. The Republican Party of this State and in the Nation is in the midst of a great campaign, but this is not merely a partisan campaign. The people are weary of too much partisanship. They call for those who believe of proceeding in the American way to stand together and restore America to the American people. The question of the campaign is quite clearly defined and is, shall) the Government of the United States in the words of Abraham Lincoln, continue to be a Government, “of the people, ‘by the people, and for the people,” or shall it become a Government of bureaucr » Yregimentation and brain trust. The administration now controlling the destinies of this nation is largely a Government from above. It is largely based upon the principle that the people cannot manage their own affairs and that a government of btreaucracy must manage for them. That proposition after centuries of trial. in Europe and its ‘attempted transfer to America was repudiated and overthrown one hundred and sixty years ago by the Declaration of Independence. The institutions of our government has been turned over to the “Spoils System’”’ of partisanship. The . affilliation and cooperation ‘ideals of America have been warped and molded into the spirit and form of philosophies fundamentally destructive of the very principles of freedom under . the law. Wasteful expenditures of the taxpayers money have been made and we still have ten million men out of work. The Republican Party has held its convention and adopted its platform, which is clear, explicit and comprehensive. It recognizes the needs and requirements of the Nation at this time and candidly states what remedies it proposes. It has selected as its nominee for President of the United States a great and distinguished American. A man wo is a tribute to individual opportunity and individual character, A man who was no more favored by fortune than millions of his fe)TOWN ON TIP TOEFOR COUNTRY FAIR OPENING Nevada: County’s second annual Country Fair opens with vigor and zest tomorrow (Saturday) afternoon in Armory Hall.

Some_weeks ago one Van DeGogh applied for a license to open a-new electric roulette wheel game called Hotcha-Flash} ‘It differs from roulette only by having more than the usual numbers and colors. He attempted to convince’ the city council that his was a game of amusement and not chance, since the latter is contrary to state law. The city attorney has advised the cotthty that the game is illegal. In the’ meantime four organizations of women and many business «men privately had opposed permitting the illegal game to open. The Woman’s Civig \Club unanimously adopted a resolution in which they appealed to the city council to refuse a license and to close up the game if it should open. The passed a’similar resolution, The.temporary city was Parent Teachers association the Ladies Foreign Wars ed condemnatory resolutions.

Van Gogh took the floor and seldom gave anyone else a chance to be heard. He protested that the game was running in twenty cities, and that it had proven so popular that none would part with it. * He gave the impression that if he wished to withdraw his game from any city where it is established the entire population would to remain. Mayor Ben Hall declared that the city council had been advised by City Attorney W. E. Wright that the game was illegal and that under that condition there was nothing for the board to consider. He stated that the members of the board had sworn to uphold the laws of. the state and of the United States, and that they could not be involved by granting either a business or an amusement license to game which their legal adviser had stated was illegal. Van Gogh inquired whether if he opened without a license he woula be arrested, and the mayor assured him that he would. A considerable number of those who packed the room were much in sympathy with Van Gogh. Some of them pleaded that the latter had spent a lot of money putting’ his gambling equipment and in re-decorating the illfated Nevada City Wavern, which has had, from a gambling and sporting standpoint, such unlucky record. During the discussion Councilman Frank Davis made a vitrolic attack on the Nevada Theatre, declared that if morality were to be considered, the theatre should be _ closed because of the misconduct that occurred in the hours between 9 and 11 p. m. in the gallery.

City Council Refuses License for Gambling charged that City Clerk George Calanan was opposing the opening of the gambling house because he feared.that it would affect the receipts of the theatre. Mr. Calanan declared that this: matter of the gambling house was quite apart from anything to do with the theatre. If Van Gogh attempted to open his resort on Broad street, he stated that he personally would have him arrested regardless of what the city council did in the matter, and without regard to its . effect on thetheatre. : Mayor Ben Hall remarked that if Councilman Davies knew of immorality in the theatre he should do his duty as a councilman and swear to a complaint, and see to it that the law was enforced.

For we do not for a moment believe that President Roosevelt, patrician born and-bred, and inheritor of one of the oldest fortunes in the United States, is a communist. It is not in the cards. In his leisure and social interims his associates are all of tha old American aristocracy. For the common man, who digs and delves, for the little forgotten taxpayer, who walks humbly bearing on_ his back this enormeus burden of debt, the President expresses a sympathy which he cannot feel. Because no man reared as the President has been, can feel the sympathy, that Abraham Lincoln did, for instance, for the men who must earn their bread by the sweat of their brow. For did he feel sympathy he would be more tender of the burden he piles on the little fellow’s back. Sympathy needs more than words for true expression. We need not go far afield to see what’s wrong with the Roosevelt policies. Here in Nevada City we are feeling the heavy hand of the administration’s clumsy and costly relief efforts. A city hall construction that drags on interminably, adding day ‘by day to the tax butdens ments begun and unfinished, projects here and there left up in the air.

Paul Ulrich, of Chicago Park, chairman of the Nevada County Central Committee stated yesterday that he was confident. Nevada county would give Landon and Knox a majority over Roosevelt and Gare Republicner. -Chairman Ulrich declafed: “I know scores of men and women, registered as Democrats, who are erying “Enough!’”’ and who will vote for the Republican candidates. Monday night, October 14, there will be a big dinner of non-partisan at Bret Harte Inn at which it is expected that 100 will be present. Last Friday night’s meetjng in the National Hotel, Nevada City was in the nature of an ovation for the Republican candidates. More than forty sat down to dinner and heard Congressman Harry’ Englebright refute.the latest canard, put out by Democratic leaders, respecting Landon’s attitude on sound money and gold. The address of Congressman Englebright follows: The present campaign in which Republicans and in which all of thé people of the nation regardless of party affiliations are vitally interested is perhaps the most important and most serious campaign in the history of this country since the Civil War. Perhaps none of us realize the full extent the issues before the eountry, but in time_to come we undoubtedly all will remember this campaign as one of the great turning points in American history. Eighty years ago, when the Re~ publican party held its first convention it»was organized to maintain the American form of free and representative government, to uphold American traditions and to defend the Constitution and American institutions. It never has departed from those fundamental purposes. The Republican platform of eighteen hundred and fifty six,. declared “that the maintenance of the principle promulgated in the Declaraaft Iaferendence ant aembetta we Fs = Bane t the Tedgerai i id = tnt Fential + uae o the Repubdtican Institutions.” g preserration ef cue ried about three months ago. headquart-: Republicans on March Nev. County ——-— of the men of all parties, however differing from us in other respects,’’ but who believed ‘that the spirit of our institutions as well as the Constitution of our Country guarantees liberty of conscience and equality of rights among citizens.” Today the Republican party takes the same position and extends to all Americans the same invitation in support of its position. The Republican Party of this State and in the Nation is in the midst of a great campaign, but this is not merely a partisan campaign. The people are weary of too much partisanship. They call for those who believe of proceeding in the American way to stand together and restore America to the American people. The question of the campaign is quite clearly defined and is, shall) the Government of the United States in the words of Abraham Lincoln, continue to be a Government, “of the people, ‘by the people, and for the people,” or shall it become a Government of bureaucr » Yregimentation and brain trust. The administration now controlling the destinies of this nation is largely a Government from above. It is largely based upon the principle that the people cannot manage their own affairs and that a government of btreaucracy must manage for them. That proposition after centuries of trial. in Europe and its ‘attempted transfer to America was repudiated and overthrown one hundred and sixty years ago by the Declaration of Independence. The institutions of our government has been turned over to the “Spoils System’”’ of partisanship. The . affilliation and cooperation ‘ideals of America have been warped and molded into the spirit and form of philosophies fundamentally destructive of the very principles of freedom under . the law. Wasteful expenditures of the taxpayers money have been made and we still have ten million men out of work. The Republican Party has held its convention and adopted its platform, which is clear, explicit and comprehensive. It recognizes the needs and requirements of the Nation at this time and candidly states what remedies it proposes.

Some_weeks ago one Van DeGogh applied for a license to open a-new electric roulette wheel game called Hotcha-Flash} ‘It differs from roulette only by having more than the usual numbers and colors. He attempted to convince’ the city council that his was a game of amusement and not chance, since the latter is contrary to state law. The city attorney has advised the cotthty that the game is illegal. In the’ meantime four organizations of women and many business «men privately had opposed permitting the illegal game to open. The Woman’s Civig \Club unanimously adopted a resolution in which they appealed to the city council to refuse a license and to close up the game if it should open.

Van Gogh took the floor and seldom gave anyone else a chance to be heard. He protested that the game was running in twenty cities, and that it had proven so popular that none would part with it. * He gave the impression that if he wished to withdraw his game from any city where it is established the entire population would to remain. Mayor Ben Hall declared that the city council had been advised by City Attorney W. E. Wright that the game was illegal and that under that condition there was nothing for the board to consider. He stated that the members of the board had sworn to uphold the laws of. the state and of the United States, and that they could not be involved by granting either a business or an amusement license to game which their legal adviser had stated was illegal. Van Gogh inquired whether if he opened without a license he woula be arrested, and the mayor assured him that he would. A considerable number of those who packed the room were much in sympathy with Van Gogh. Some of them pleaded that the latter had spent a lot of money putting’ his gambling equipment and in re-decorating the illfated Nevada City Wavern, which has had, from a gambling and sporting standpoint, such unlucky record.
