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."

I Note?The pointing of 1,500,-000 oopies of one of Bailey'sspeeches, even at the cost-of-production prices of the Govern-ment Printing Office, would cometo more than $50,000. and theirmailing, A free congreßßion&lfrnnk' WDU,d the governmentl«,ooa
