Explaining that there had been no . platform adopted as regards candi- dates for United States senators and j. representatives in the present . election, elec-tion, Mr. Murdock discussed some I phases of the "new deal" instead, expressing ex-pressing the hope that politics has come to mean, or will soon come to mean, the science of government, while the politician will come to ' mean statesman. He urged any one or all of his hearers to solemnly ask himself or themselves what "liberty or constitutional right they had lost under the "new deal". He gave it as .i.his idea that the promotion of , j general good was solemnly pledged by the constitution and quoted liber-1 liber-1 ally in support of this thought, going Ion to show how various moves on the part of President Roosevelt and the ' administration had been in line with i those same benefits pledged under the constitution. The "new deal", he said, proposed to provide for the wel-Ifare wel-Ifare of the people as a whole rather than the favored few and, to this end, the various codes had been written, not by President Roosevelt' or Hugh Johnson, but by the industries indus-tries themselves. As various phases of the agricultural agricul-tural adjustment acts go into effect, the speaker went on to say, the farmers of the country not a few but all of them will find prosperity, not around the corner, but right in their dooryard. In conclusion, Mr. Murdock warned the people to beware any time the millionaire becomes over-solicitous of the welfare of the common people.
