Show Visiting Speaker Scores Newf Deal . Governor C. A. Bottolfsen of Idaho, Republican nominee for U. S. senator from Idaho, reproached President Franklin D. Roosevelt for treating inhabitants like children. . in a talk Tuesday night before a large group in the Logan I junior high school auditorium. Part of the talk was broadcast over stations KVNU in Logan and KID in Idaho Falls, Idaho. "The idea of personal responsibility, respon-sibility, of personal government is evidenced by the attitude of the chief executive toward us," Governor Gov-ernor Bottolfsen declared. "It bears a striking resembjance to that of 'mother knows best,' and that we should " not doubt or question A considerable - number of people believe that we should be more fully acquainted with some of the wicked things from which we are being guarded. "Many have the suspicion that in conference- Great Britain has probably not fared so badly and would feel much relieved if they had some authentic assurances that commitments of importance have - not been made," he continued. con-tinued. There is" no occasion to multiply instances of the extent to which a man will go when he has so complete subordinated personal preference to a sense of duty, the visiting igovernor said. "Suffice it to say that for a period of years one branch of the government was completely subordinated to end dominated by him. He tolerated no opposition but crushed it upon appearance. Those who criticised or questioned were ridiculed and abused, and it amounted almost to treason to oppose." Governor Bottolfsen referred to Hitler as "the indispensable man gone wild." "In this campaign we are hearing much of the 'indispensable 'in-dispensable man.' In this nation no man is or should be indispensable. indispen-sable. An indespensable man comes only when the government is his, only when the government govern-ment is personal to him, only when his authority is absolute, only when he is a dictator. Our boys are fighting to bring about the liquidation of the indispensable indispens-able man gone wild. We are resisting the ultimate, the very summation of the principle urged upon us at home." 1 With the responsiblities of the office of president so great, the work so exhausting and life so uncertain, there is no place in our scheme of things to the indispensable in-dispensable man or the personal j government, Governor Bottolfsen I declared. "No nation can afford I to gamble ; none can afford an I indispensable man." In time of war citizens expect some restrictions upon their activities, ac-tivities, the, speaker continued. "Naturally, the major business of winning the war transcends other considerations. In time of war, especially ne for which a nation was not prepared, the ordinary processes of a democracy seem to be too slow. For the complete execution of war, time, emergency restrictions and control, the new deal had well prepared.

'Jobs not dole' is the Republican slogan and aim." Governor Bottolfsen said that the new deal now is continuing with its philosophy of the last j 12 years to artificially provide employment. "It is well to provide , emergencies for unemployment, but the grave issue before the American people Is to play for full employment for all these men and women who are going to return re-turn to civilian activities and civilian life. The accent should not he put on employment, the accent should be on ways to create cre-ate employment. In conclusion,' Governor Bottolfsen Bottolf-sen said, "The Republican party will dedicate its efforts to a program of building for the future, fu-ture, a program of employment now, that will create future means of employment . . ."

For eight years before Pearl Harbor, it had been practicting under the excuse of an emergency, emer-gency, natural or created, and had ruled by such orders.
