AMERICAN PRESIDENCY
ROOSEVELT'S CAMPAIGN HEARST PRESS ALLEGATION Received Sept. 20, 11.55 p.m. WASHINGION, Sept. 19. The iirst so-called mud-slinging of the present presidential campaign occurred with the publication by the Hearst newspapers of a charge oi Communist support for the New Deal. “ i'he real candidate or unofficial candidate of the Comintern is Roosevelt,’ boldly states those journals. The President’s secretariat declares: “The attempt oi a certain notorious newspaper owner to make it appear that the President passively accepts the support or alien organisations hostile to the American form of Government, is conceived of malice and born of political spite. The American people will not permit attention to be diverted from real issues to fake issues, which no patriotic, honourable or decent citizen would purposely inject into American affairs.”
