Green blasts New Deal for ‘machine politics’
Chicago, Illinois (UP) –
Governor Dwight H. Green of Illinois said last night that “the New Deal edicts from on high are being executed by the ruthless heads of corrupt political machines.”
In contrast, he said:
The Republican program, drafted in consultation with the people, is submitted to the voters through the regularly constituted state and local Republican organizations.
Governor Green said:
We in Chicago, where both conventions were held, will never forget them. Every detail of the proceedings which nominated the fourth-term candidate was dictated by the bosses of the big city New Deal machines, Kelly and Hague and Flynn and Hannegan.
The Republican Convention, on the other hand, was a free expression of the will and choice of Republicans throughout the nation. It culminated in the nomination of Governor Dewey by acclamation, because the delegates were convinced that he could best rescue our country from the tragic mistakes of the New Deal and best lead America to victory in the war and to a sound peace.
