Dr. Ensminger Evidently Prefers
Baker to Roosevelt.
York, Pa., 3-21-32
Democratic Watchman,
Bellefonte, Pa.
Dear Democratic Friends:
If I read correctly, your “Real vs.
! Fair Weather Democrats,” it appears
to be a question of who is to have
the honor of nominating Franklin D. |
| Roosevelt, namely, Messrs. Kistler
and Collins or Guifey? Personally, I
do not believe his nomination would
be good for the party, or if elected,
the Nation.
I cannot understand why thought-
ful and earnest Democrats want to
surrender to Tammany who defeated
McAdoo in 1924. Who is so blind as
to say Franklin D. Roosevelt does
not keep company with the stripes
of the tiger, who would say his op-
position to Tammany is not “soft,”
if in reality it is opposition at ail?
If proof is needed, look east of the
Hudson river, and recall the sheriff
affair. Who can point to a single
act of good for Nation or party that
came from Tammany? Shall we
surrender to usurpers of power, de-
spoilers of men, who sell favors of
dishonesty to the highest bidder,
create crooks and criminals, and pro-
tect them for a price? Shall we sur-
render to the gang who does not re-
gard public office as a public trust;
but public office as a den of thieves,
and when they render up an account
of their stewardship, they render up
gigantic bank accounts to their cred-
it and the glory of the gang?
Yes, I realize there are many Dem-
ocratic office holders shouting for
Franklin Roosevelt; but these are
mostly the same who voted to kill
the Costigan-LaFollette relief meas-
ure for the poor; but voted to give
six billion dollars Reconstruction
Finance Corporation to the over-
rich; these are the same who clamor-
ed to soak the poor by a general
sales tax to replenish the empty
treasury, and not materially touch
the holy and mighty over-rich; these
are the Democratic-Republican In-
fernal machine, the pawns of the
over-lord multimillionaires who are
more deadly than a bomb which
wrecks buildings, maims life
limb. This infernal machine wrecks
not only our nation, but the world
in its mad conquest to conquer the
money world. If this is Democracy
an equal opportunity for all with
special privilege to none, then deliv-
er me from Democracy.
If this is a Democratic year, let
us make sure of a real Democrat big Congressman that has been honored |
' enough to win—this I cannot see in
Roosevelt; but such I conceive New-
ton D. Baker to be. Look at his pub-
lic record, and tell me who can
match it. You certainly can make no
comparison in any manner with
Roosevelt. Baker is the only one who
has had the decency and self-respect
to say that the office should seek
the man, not the man the office like
Roosevelt has been doing for four
years.
Trusting a common love of the
party we stand for will condone for
the infringement, I beg to remain,
Yours respectfully,
8S. H. ENSMINGER.

CONGRESSMAN KURTZ
HAS A FINE RECORD
Congressman J. Banks Kurtz, of
Altoona, now representing the Twen-
ty-first District of Pennsylvania in
the lower house of the National law-
making body, is a candidate for re-
nomination in the new Twenty-third
District composed of Blair, Centre
and Clearfield Counties.. Blair Coun-
ty had formerly been attached to
Bedford.
While Mr. Kurtz is pretty general-
ly known throughout Centre and
Clearfield counties, it might be due
our readers to have just a little bit
more intimate introduction to him.
Mr. Kurtz was born on a farm and
until he had grown up, assisted with
every type of farm-life work, attend-
ing the one room district school in
the winter. When yet in his teens
he began teaching school and after
two terms, saving his money to help
defray his school expenses, he enter-
ed Dickinson College where he re-
ceived his classical education and
then entered Dickinson Law School,
being admitted to the bar upon grad-
uation and going to Altoona where
he has since practiced law.
The future Congressman was inter-
ested, not in the law alone, but
early in life took an active part in
politics. He won fame as a stump
speaker and this has risen as he
grew older and for some years past,
his impassioned pleas for the prin-
ciples of the Republican Party have
| been heard from Maine to the Mis-
souri river.
Mr. Kurtz's first entry inte politics
saw him nominated and elected to!
the office of District Attorney of
Blair county, a post he held with
honor and distinction for two terms,
totaling seven years. Soon after the
end of his term as prosecuting officer
Mr. Kurtz was, in 1922, elected to
Congress, being re-elected with in-
creased majorities at each succeed-
ing election,
He is a member of the powerful
Judiciary Committee in Congress and
lis the only Central Pennsylvania
| with membership on a major com-
| mittee.
Mr. Kurtz minces no words where
he stands on principle.
publican and stands for the princi-
ples of that party. He is a dry, per-
sonally and politically, and never
straddles that issue. He has a record
in the United States Pension Bureau
at Washington with few parallels
amongst his 435 coll es for ob-
taining pensions and relief for form-
er service men.
Congressman Kurtz has never done
worse at home than three to one
majority; his chances were never
| better in Blair than now; he has
leaders of Centre county with him
because of his worth and for what he
| stands, and Clearfield leaders work-
ing in his behalf, declare he will be
a winner, by a large majority, in the
new district.

all right for me to be accepting a kiss
