Show UTAH LABOR NEWS. SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH. JUNE 19. 1936. Utafj labor Jetosi OF THE A MEMBER Established 1929 people who have adopted as their slogan, I Want Roosevelt Again. It is expected that the representatives of the various organizations throughout the nation will be able to report to the President on Saturday night, June 27, that more than $3,000,000 have been secured in the campaign fund contributed by millions of volunteer Roosevelt nominators. Here in Utah more than $50,000 will be placed in the Roosevelt Of this amount campaign fund by more than 50,000 nominators. more than $25,000 comes from Salt Lake County alone. This, indeed, is a splendid showing! This is something new in the history of American politics. Heretofore, campaign after campaign, the campaign contributions have come from big business and special interests. And as a result the administrations whose campaigns were financed by those special interests naturally catered to those interests. The case of President Roosevelt is this: He has heaped upon his head the enmity of the seekers of special privilege, because he did not forget the forgotten man" during his first term as President of the United States. Average citizens, millions of them, are for Roosevelt. These millions consider him as their friend, and because he is their friend, they are going to Bee to it that he is reelected. It is for this reason that the millions of American men and women are rallying to the support of our great President and are contributing their dollars into the campaign fund to reelect him. The strongest factor in the 1930 campaign is the people them selves, and judging from the tone of the people they are going to do it The people themselves, and their dollars will reelect President Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
