Show Objective Is to Restore the Old Capitalism "They must upward still and onward i who would keep abreast with truth." There is no standing still. Either America moves forward or it moves backward. It is our desire to help move it forward for-ward and to push it as far as possible against the darkness of ignorance, intolerance, poverty and sinister reaction But there nre forces that desire to push it backward into the golden 20's when they reveled in wealth and pleasure much like the Babylonians. The financial and industrial powers believe that they know it all and that they can best rule ' the people. The truth is that they have ' a standing inability to look anyway but backward. ' They think of nothing but profits and new ways to exploit the people They have their great newspapers like Heart's and Mc Cormick's and Patter- ; son's to support them. Columnists like the man Pegler, and i a defamer of the government like Sokolsky are used to basely ; deceive and betray the people and my, how tbey are succeeding, suc-ceeding, while people are too spineless to protest. It is a Fascist movement that they would foist upon the j people to lead them into slavery. If ever there was a time when Progressives and Liberals and Labor should stand together to-gether it is now. If the forces of reactipn succeed with their plans they will destroy all the progressive gains, and forge new shackles for Liberals and labor, destroy unions and cooperatives coop-eratives and enter upon ano'her debauch of Capitalism gone mad. People, don't let them fool you again. Think of defeating men like Senator Norris and electing men like Hamilton Fish. Are the great Progressives to be martyred and blind demagogues and backward-looking reactionaries given power? If so the future is dismal and the peace will . again be defeated by a new murderer's row in the senate. j |
