RICH MANS CREED I believe that the day will come when tolerance will be substituted for bitterness in ordering the affairs of this world. I believe in the creative power of human intelligence. I believe that ideals of justice and right are bound to win in the long run against injustice and might. I believe that we can yet make this world a worthy and beautiful home to live in instead of a place to fight and starve in. This is my creed. Millions from the greatest modern champion of human justice, President Roosevelt, to the lowliest sufferer from human greed and injustice tramping the streets in near despair could subscribe to that creed written by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. Justice is potential Lord of injustice just as Life is Lord of Death else both had been extinguished and forgotten long ere this triumphing hour. The sorry part of it is that just as a scientist here and there has (Continued on Page 4) A , 1 1938 1. Price : 5 Cent. Per Copy G.O.P. Gains Were Not Honorable Victories The stand-pa- t Republican newspapers have been singing reactionary Republican gains since Tuesdays election. True, the G. O. P. made a few gains, but they were not honorable gains. They were not won on any real issues because the Republicans did not present any issues in this campaign. Their campaign was an appeal to the prejudices of those who fell for it. It was a campaign of vilification and in some g instances and slander. Usually, in desperation, the leaders singled out one particular Democrat to shoot at. In Utah they chose Senator Elbert D. Thomas as a target. Exactly as in 1934 and in 936 for the third time since the election of President Roosevelt in 1932 the Republican high command and its candidates refused to take the voters into their confidence. They declined to tell the people what plans they had for improving the conditions of the employer, the worker, the farmer and those in need of employment. They neither availed themselves of the opportunity nor recognized an obligation even to hint for the edification of their own political mouthpieces what they would substitute for the legislation and the agencies of recovery and reform they were so ready to criticize during the campaign just closed. mud-slingin- 1 (Continued on page 4) LABOR ON ITS FORWARD MARCH MANY WORKERS AIDED BY WAGES-HOUR- S LAW .
