SENATOR BAILEYON THE JOB
HIS <fOB Is TO TEAR DOWNTHE NEW DEAL, AND DIS-CREDIT PRESIDENT ROOSE-VELT.
The following article comes in;i di!-i»alch from Washington,and is written by the editors ofthe V» asshiiigioa Mei ? y-CJo-Round,independent and non-partisan;
How cl< se oitl guard Demo-crats and liipublicans aie work-ing together against the newdeal and how fierce is their ven-detta was illustrated by a secret
conversation which toolt place inthe Senate lounge the other day.
The lounge is reserved l'o r sen-ators only and in it they readthe papers, take catnaps, andwhile away their time during a
dull debate. On this particular
occasion Josiah Bailey, anti-Roosevelt Democrat from NorthCarolina was chatting with Wal-
( I tc-r E. Edge, staunch Republican
jand formerly Hoover's ambassad-jor to France.
s j Edge was entitled to sit in theSenate lounge because he wasance senator from New Jersey,and he effusively congratulated
> the Democratic senator 011 hiaanti-new deal speeches.
"You are doing a g«cat job.
jsenator, » great job," Edge told
| Bailey. "There is no oae in the
| Republican party rjoing >ua j'ly aswork as you are expos-
the evils and danar;is of this
jregime. You taunt get your
speeches out to the people; they
jmuet be broadcast all over thecountry."
i.I "Thai is already done,Benatoj-," Bailey assured him.
: "More than a million ;uid a lialfof my speeches have been
jordered from the GovernmentPrinting Office by twenty o;ran-
!(nations and are being dist.ibute-iin every section of the land."
j "Pplcndid, splendid!" exclaimedE'.lpro. "Tliat'f? the way to pro-
ceed."
j "Yes, it is very encouraging."
| said Builey, "but there is a great
deal more to be done. The in-surance companies ought to co-
j \u25a0 operate. They should be contact-ed by the proper persons andmailing lists obtained of theirpolicy holders. There are mil-
jlions of their policy holders who
' should be warned that their. money and property are being
jeopardized by the policies of
( this administration.That'B an excellent suggestion,
senator," declared Edge. "Itshould be acted on at once. That
lis the class of people we want to!reach. And I want you to know
, jthat I nni with you 100 per cent.
jMy time 13 all my own now. I
Jhave nothing to do and I amready to help you in any winy I
! can * * am enlisted in your cause(for the duration of the fight."
