Landon at Portland, Me.: amend Constitution for minimum wage law if necessary (Evening Star, Sept. 13, 1936, p. 4)

lU.S.PAYSlATUTE /Lend Constitution for Min $nurn Wage Law, If Neces sary, He Says. the Associated Press. new YORK. September 12 --A con stitutional amendment was urged to night by Rev. Charles E. Coughlin, If necessary, to permit reasonable Fed eral laws establishing minimum wages. »Returning to the radio for 26 troadcast series, the Michigan priest repeated his plea for a "living annual Wage" and asserted that both Presi cfent Roosevelt and Gov. Landon had disregarded this Issue. "Let us realize," he said, "that the llnity of human society cannot be built Upon class warfare. Rather capital 6id labor must join hands in this new qrusade to re-establish the Christian ooncept of life and errdicate the er rors which prevent the good things qf our material life from being dis tributed equitably. Urges Minimum Wage Law. "Both capital and labor must not Only advocate, but seek with their full powers an amendment to our Con stitution. If necessary, by which free unbridled competition must submit to reasonable Federal laws to the end that a fair annual wage will be paid to every American capable of working and willing to work. "At the present cost of living, the gum of $1,800 per year is a minimum for a family of five. But which of the presidential candidates will adopt this principle? Unfortunately only one--the impoverished leader of the Impoverished Union Party." The priest said that "if an economic System, described as cruel and harsh py the leaders of Christianity, pre yents distribution of God's gifts to our fellow men, that economic system must pe cashiered as was the Imperialism of the Caesars, the feudalism of-the Charlemaignes and the divine right fcf kings of a George III. Production Problem ''Solved." Modem machinery has solved the problem of production, and will con tinue to make advances with the re gult "that still less work and fewer flours of labor will be required hence forth to satisfy all human needs." He added: "This being so, and I have not been accosted by any man who has seri ously denied its being so, forces us to the conclusion that the hourly wage system upheld universally by modern capitalism for mass production ac tivity, must be outlawed. "Christianity recognizes this prob lem of distribution. Christianity real izes that the hourly wage system of modem capitalistic industrialism must pass out of existence and. in its stead, there must be substituted a living an nual wage."

The board acted in executive session after hearing protests filed by Repre sentative William E. Hess and other Republican candidates for the same offices.

A. is dead "thanks to the courage and integrity of the Supreme Court." Landon arrived at Portland at 6:45 p.m. (Eastern standard time). A few minutes after his special train pulled in, Gov. Louis J. Brann, Democrat, boarded the Kansan's private car to extend a personal welcome. He met the presidential nominee in the draw ing room, shook hands and welcomed him to Maine. Landon smiled his thanks. Shortly afterward the presidential candidate left the train in company of White and Senator Frederick Hale, his week end host, to head a parade to the municipal stadium. There in foggy, wet night air, stands were well filled with spectators awaiting the Kansan's arrival. Thousands See Parade. Thousands lined the parade route and cheered the Kansan as. riding in an open automobile, he waved his hand and smiled upon them. Rain, which fell during the day, had made fulfillment of parade plans un certain until the time of London's ar rival. Thousands of Republicans from Portland and all parts of Maine par ticipated in the parade. Ranri* hlftped "Oh. Susanna." and gaily decorated floats were emblazoned with "Welcome" signs. Robinson Verrill, chairman of the Cumberland County Central Commit tee, introduced Senator White, who presented landon as "A Governor who promised economy and gave the peo ple economy." Fog drifted across the Portland High School Athletic Field, where temporary stands were decorat ed with red, white and blue bunting. "He will keep us freed from presi dential political influences." White said. "He will restore legislative in dependence to our country. "I present to you the next President of the United States, Alf M. Landon." The crowd arose and cheered as a sand blared "Landon, Oh, Landon Will Lead to Victory." As Landon opened his speech with a prediction of "a victory for the Na tion," the crowd cheered. "You will start a victory parade that will span the Nation," Landon declared as a chorus of "rays" swelled the stadium. A minor disturbance caused Lan don to pause a moment near the start of his address. Tax Criticism Applauded. Listening intently as the Governor criticized N. R. A., the crowd ap plauded as he referred to the so called surplus tax bill as "a millstone around the neck of the small business man." The Kansas Governor said the choice of America lies between two systems. One. he said, "is the system of free competitive enterprise which, while not perfect, at least does not dole out opportunity, according to a Govern ment yardstick--a system under which this country is still a freer, a happier place to live in than any other coun try in the world." On the other side, the Republican presiaenueu iiuimnee sum, is a sys tem under which the privacy of our homes is invaded--our fields lie idle ■by Governmental edict--and across the length and breadth of America a million signs spring up "by order of the Government, keep off.' "When the decision of one man affects an entire country, a wrong decision means disaster," the Kansan con tinued. Criticizes Roosevelt Directly. In direct references to his Demo cratic opponent, Landon said the United States lost "one great oppor tunity to lead the way toward world peace and economic security" because President Roosevelt "turned his bark upon this international co-operative effort"--the 1933 London Economic Conference. Again, describing N. R. A. as "the beginning in America of the move ment which, throughout the world, has been sweeping aside private en terprise in favor of government con trol substituting arbitrary per sonal authority for constitutional self-government," the Kansan said: "The spirit of the N. R. AT lives on in the spirit of the President who has confessed no error--who has let it be clearly known that he con sidered it would be a catastrophe if the American farmer should 'once more become a lord on his own farm.' Landon said "we have but to look across the waters to see the conse quences of government domination over economic life." "Step by step living standards have fallen," he said. "Productivity has decreased. Human beings have be come more and more dependent upon a government which, in turn, has be come less and less able to take care of them. That is one reason why the Republican party stands squarely across the road down which we are being driven by the present Admin istration. We are being taken down a road that leads to a central ized government of unlimited power.'' Mast Protect Average Man. The nominee contended that gov ernment "must prq^ct the average man against the aggressive exploita tion by the stcpng." Landon said that as conditions be came more complex, "the Federal Government became active in protect ing the economic freedom and the welfare of our citizens." "As a result," he continued, *'we have our laws on pure foods, public health, banking, transportation, work men's compensation, safety appliances, monopolies and unfair trade prac tices, and more recently our laws regulating public utilities and the is suance of securities. "But they were based on the phil osophy we have always followed--the philosophy of economic freedom. Not one if them has weakened the fun damental character of our Govern ment. "Then came the N. R. A. This philosophy decreed that prices should be regulated, not by demand and sup ply, but by Government edict; that wages and hours of employes should be fixed, not by free and fair negotia tions under rules assuring equality, but by officials in Washington; that the sort of competition which must be fostered, as the life-blood of free enterprise, should in the future be prohibited by law. Special Train Crowded. "But business men, salaried work ers, wage earners and farmers now recognize that centralized Govern ment management of their affairs has failed. They realize that special priv ilege to one group merely creates a demand for special privileges by every other group able to exert political pressure." From shortly after dawn, when the first delegation of Eastern Repub licans got aboard at Trenton, N. J„ before the candidate had dressed, until arrival in Portland at dusk, Landon's special train was crowded with party leaders and workers who paraded through the cars in an effort to see the Kansan. From time to time the Governor, his hair ruffled by salt breezes crossing the rear platform, came forward to greet visitors. A series of three-minute talks, in which Landon centered his remarks on unemployment and relief, were made as the train paused at points in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Frequently, as the train sped past stations with out stopping, groups waved sunflow ers and banners. "The country is facing many prob lems of importance today," the can didate told audiences which fre quently broke in with cheers, ''one of the mo6t vital of these problems is that of restoring to 11,000.000 un employed fellow citizens their birth right of becoming self-supporting, self-reliant and independent citizens once more. No Future On Relief. ''There is no future for any Ameri can on the relief roll. No nation can prosper while one-fifth of thoee who earn their own living are denied real work and leftf dependent upon the work of others for their support. "Until we can restore confidence and speed up recovery, we must con tinue to provide relief for all those who need relief. But we owe it to ourselves and to the honor of the iU.i. t a. _ __ii.e n V VV |/U1 gv ItUVl of all partisanship, Incompetence and waste. "The American people. If I know them, do not wish to save a dollar at the expense of the needy unemployed; but they demand that every dollar appropriated for relief shall be spent upon the needy and not one cent upon political exploiters. "It is beneath the dignity of a great Nation to dole out bread for votes." V Brann (Continued from First Page!) rhe schools of Kansas have not been kept open." Turning to recently disclosed con tributions by wealthy American fam ilies to the Republican campaign fund, Brann asked Landon if he sanctioned contributions made by J P. Morgan. "Gov. Landon made the following statement on July 26, 1933," said Brann, "'(quote) Racketeers like In stall, Morgan and Van Swerlngen will be driven out of finance and Industry by the scorn of honest people and the strong determination of the govern ment.' Brann asked that Landon reaffirm the quoted statement and "repudiate the contribution." Answering his opponent's demand that he tell whether he was for or igainst the New Deal, Brann said: Steads for Maine New Deal. "The deal I stand for is the best tor the people of Maine, and a New Deal for Maine in the Senate of the United States." In a review of the principles for which, he said, he stood, Brann de lla red: ''I stand for the Constitution. I stand for the protection of Maine in dustries and the high standard of ivlng for those working in the fac »ries of Maine. I stand for a more iberal old-age pension law, unem sloyment insurance to protect the worker, and a shorter work day; X stand for helping communities in Maine in times of stress through Federal aUL" Politics (Continued From First Page.) national committee, at one time played with the idea of getting Cou zens to run in the Democratic pri mary for the senatorial nomination. But Couzens was unwilling, appar ently, to take that step, although he has lined himself up with the Dem ocratic national ticket. Representa tive Prentiss M. Brown is seeking the Democratic senatorial nomination, to run against either Couzens or Brucker in the general election in November. Almost on the eve of the primary, the Senatorial Campaign Investigat ing Committee sent investigators into Michigan to run down reports that "(3,000,000" had been contributed for use in the campaign. The great vol ume of this money, it was charged in some quarters, had been contrib uted to beat Couzens. So far, noth ing has come to light to substantiate the charge. Wisconsin's Progressives, under leadership of Senator La Pollette and Gov. La Follette, are expected to line up with President Roosevelt. The La Follette brothers took part in the "Progressive Conference" Friday in Chicago, which issued a declaration of support for Roosevelt. What the Republicans and the Progressives and the Democrats do In the Wisconsin primary Tuesday may be significant. Undoubtedly estimates of New Deal strength in the State will be made on the sum of votes cast in the Pro vuihiv mask* wcuiuiriBUt UlUliJCS. Because of the alliance between the Ia Follettes and Roosevelt, the Re publican high command has been inclined to regard Wisconsin as too tough a nut to crack this year. Progressives Back Roosevelt. The long awaited Progressive con ference set up a new organization to work for the re-election of Roosevelt. It is aimed particularly at the Lemke O'Brien Union Party ticket, which It has been feared, would take votes away from Roosevelt in many States. In the resolutions adopted, particular stress is placed on the need of all progressives giving their support to Roosevelt. The conference did not bring into field new adherents of Roosevelt--unless Mayor La Guardla of New York be so considered. Many labor leaders attended the conference, giving additional color to the claim that organized labor is lining up back of the President. Roosevelt's strength in the South was again shown last week, when Gov. Eugene Talmadge of Georgia, a severe critic of the New Deal, was over whelmingly defeated in the Demo cratic Senatorial primary by Senator Russell, a Roosevelt man. The Presi dent himself invaded the South to deliver his "Green Pastures'' address in Charlotte, N. C. Simultaneously, the traditionally Democratic Balti more Sun declared it could not and would not support Roosevelt for re election. Out in Nebraska, the veteran Sena tor George B. Norris, Roosevelt sup rvvptaii ii>a. An.U„ J_s. _ an independent for his old seat in the Senate. Petitions signed by 40,504 persons were filed in behalf of Norris and his name now goes on the ballot. The New Dealers have pressed hard to get Norris into this race, believing his candidacy would help President Roosevelt carry the State. Norris, who was unable to attend the Progres sive conference in Chicago, sent that group a letter strongly demanding re election of the President. It was Nor ris who, something more than four years ago, at a similar Progressive conference in Washington declared "what country needs is another Roosevelt." Maine to Pick Three Representatives. In Maine tomorrow, in addition to the senatorial election, there will be elections for Governor and State officers and three members of the House of Representatives. The Re publicans are given the edge in the gubernatorial election. They are ex pected also to carry at least two of the contests for House seats. If the swing is on, the Republicans will make a clean sweep. And that is what the Republicans, from Gov. London down, are hoping and work ing for. The Democrats in Maine, however, insist they will elect Brann to the Senate, that they have a chance with Harold Dubord, their gubernatorial candidate, and that they will win in the first and second congressional districts. The Republican guberna torial candidate is Lewis O. Barrows, the present Secretary of 8tate. Du bord ran against Senator Hale, Re publican, In the 1934 election and lost by only 1,200 votes.

BUFFALO, N. Y., September 12 Gen. Hugh S, Johnson, former N. R. A. administrator, In an address prepared for delivery at a Democratic rally here tonight, called upon "poor people" to "stick by the only President in history who ever threw the force of Govern ment into the fight for social justice-- Franklin Roosevelt." He said the Republican presidential candidate, Qov. All M. Landon, "preaches pure Hooverlsm" and that "the Old Guard have lapped up Lan don as the whale swallowed Jonah." He accused Gov. Landon of changing his stand on Federal regulation of In dustry "when the Old Guard got him." Quoting the Governor as saying in his Kansas State campaign in 1933 that "regulation of competition should be permitted under Government super vision," and that "State compacts are the deadest horses I know," John son said, "He now says that State com pacts controlling industry are the an swer." "The Old Guard says that neither the Government nor the people can en ter their vast field of economic anarchy to protect the Nation," he declared. "Under the Old Guard doctrine, which Landon has swallowed whole, we can not even vote upon the question." The result, he said, was that "the only issue of this campaign is equal op portunity against special privilege. Thomas JelTerson against Alexander Hamilton--and that leaves no room for any Democrat to take a walk. We may not agree with the whole New Deal, but its basis is democracy. Its opposition is economic autocracy. "The New Deal only says the plain people shall not be at the mercy of every economic wind that blows. For the 85 per cent of us who are not strong enough to ride the economic whirlwind, it saves us from regimenta tion by private economic control of those who are stronger. "If enough poor people split away from Roosevelt they can elect, not Lemke (Representative William Lemke, Union party candidate for President) but Landon. When that happens they had better begin looking for sympathy in the dictionary. They won't find it in the old guard, whose idea of social justice is. and ever has been, the famous Hoover hard scrapple--'rugged individualism'--root hog or die and the devil take the hindmost." Gen. Johnson said "Frank Knox (Col. Frank Knox, Republican candi date for Vice President), has repeat edly said that Hooverlsm had the depression licked in 1933 and that all Roosevelt had to do was just stand aside and let the old guard medicine work. "What does this mean? It can only mean one thing. If Hooverism was the answer at our worst, then Hooverlsm is the answer they are cooking up for us now. "That isn't a guess. That has been the old guard belief for 140 years. They say that for the Federal Gov ernment to try to do anything to control economic forces is unconsti tutional, immoral and obscene. These forces can throw 13,000,000 people vout of Jobs, reduce agriculture to medieval peonage, leave 50,000.000 destitute but the Hoover old guard says 'let it alone.' place, a Townsendite, James C. Oliver, is the Republican candidate for the House in the first district. In the j second congressional district anothci Townsendite and Republican is run ning as an Independent candidate. The Democrats hope that will so divide the Republican vote as to make pos sible the election of their candidate. And in the third place, Rev. Benja min B. Bubar, a Townsendite, is run ning for Governor. He has no pos sible chance of victory, but the Demo crats are hoping he will cut into the Republican vote and help Dubord. Da Pont Contributions Bared. A last-minute factor, which may or may not have effect in the Maine election, was the disclosure a couple of days ago that several members of the Du Pont family had contributed heav ily to the Republican campaign fund in Maine. The Democratic-con trolled Senatorial Campaign Investigating Committee sent investigators into the State and Immediately revealed the Du Pont contributions. Brann and other Democratic leaders have under taken to make as much capital as they can of these contributions, charging that the Republican party is dominated by millionaires. The campaign in Maine has been waged for weeks and lines have been pretty sharply drawn, and whether any new factors wiU have effect remains to be seen. Maine has long been regarded as a Republican State. In September, 1832, however, it set the pace for the rest of the country, electing a Demo cratic Governor and two out of three members of -the House. There had been a Republican Governor and three Republicans in the House. Two years ago the Democrats repeated, re electing Gov. Brann and two members of the House, although they lost the senatorial election. If the Maine elec tion tomorrow should go Democratic, and the Democrats elect a Governor and a Senator, the effect on the na tional campaign would be tremendous, beyond a doubt, and the RepubUcans would lose heart. The RepubUcans expect to carry the State by 30,000 votes or more. They hope the pluraUty will run as high as 50,000. If it should do so, there would be considerable reason to believe that the anti-New Deal sentiment was swinging definitely. Brann was re elected Governor two years ago with a 42,uuu plurality. The primary Tuesday in Hew Hampshire will settle the question whether the veteran George H. Moses can stage a political comeback. He Is running for the Republican sena torial nomination against Gov.
