He surprised members of his own party in the middle of his speech by picturing the New Deal as Labour's champion and by opposing concentrated wealth when he stated that Wall Street was using corporation stockholders' money to1 finance propaganda against his re-election.
Ex-President Hoover, in a speech at Philadelphia, assailed the New Deal for misleading the public as to future expenses, asserting: "If income-tax payers juggled their accounts and showed similar morals to the Administration in keeping books they would be put in gaol."
