TALK ABOUT THE NEW DEAL
The following editorial written by Ralph E.
Johnston editor of the Bent County Democrat
Published at Las Animas Colo. by H. Harbin
Clark was given first place in the editorial writ-
ing contest held in connection with the annual
newspaper week at the University of Colorado
and was awarded the Houston Waring trophy:
There's a lot of talk about the New Deal being in
violation of the Constitution and some misguided
politicians are hoping td get the public teat between
their incisors by spouting about "getting back to
the constitution' The average man on the street
doesn't care any more about the constitution than
he does about last year's circus poster. It's his fam-
ily his wife his business his home his job his
church his children his community that fill his
head and his heart.
He asks:
When millions of us were on starvation's brink
the constitution was working wasn't it?
When legions of stout honest God-fearing men
were going about with their stomachs flapping
against their backbones ike a pair of rayon bloom
ers on a clothes line in a Bent county windstorm
the constitution was working wasn't it?
When countless armies of children wore the
pinch of hunger on their tiny faces and when there
was no one to give them a crumbe of stale bread
or a drop of milk the constitution was working
wasn't it?
When under-fed girls worked in fetid sweat-
shops making clothes for fat-jowled human hyenas
and received only a few cents a day for laboring
from dawn's first light until the stars themselves
grew dim with tears of pity the constitution was'
still in force wasn't it?
When the farmer worked in the fields his wife
and children at his side to raise a crop and then
let it rot in the fields because there was no one to
buy it the constitution was all O. K. wasn't it?
When the vortex of frenzied finance and stock
exchange robbery was milking the public of its
last nickle of savings the constitution was in good
health wasn't it?
When half the banks in the United States were
just places where you poured money in and noth-
ing ever came out the constitution was still in high
gear wasn't it?
When the people in the United States were pan-
icky with the fear that pauperism would be their
fate the constitution was riding high wasn't it?
When the hardware men the grocery men the
druggists and all the other merchandisers were
cutting eaach other's throats for the privilege of
selling goods AT A LOSS to customers who could
not pay the constitution was in force wasn't it?
When thousands of young men now in CCC
camps and transient camps were roving the na-
tion like wolves a danger to themselves the con-
stitution was inviolate wasn't it?
When school teachers were fainting with hun-
ger in class rooms when farmers fought with fist
and club and gun in protest against low prices the
constitution was still supreme wasn't it?
When the cry of the sheriff at fore-closure sales
drowned the music of the spheres but could not
drown the weeping of those losing home and farm-
stead the constitution was hitting on all'cylinders
wasn't it?
That is what the average man feels when the
radio or platform shouter commences his clack
about the (Constitution.
There may be a whole truck load of arguments
substantiating the claim that the New Deal is in vi-
olation of the consstitution. Leave them to the
constitution lawyer andwe have too many of
those fellows.
The candidate who expects to get into office by
mouthing about the constitution this year is on a
platform as substantial as a film of oil in the
ocean's surface. He's due to be tracelessly sunk.

think an evidence of their es
teem for me as an officer and
a willingness to unite with me
in the apprehension of criminals.
I believe that in this day of
the bank bandit and robber that
I can by reason of my experi-
ence be of iservice to the people.
During the time that I served
this county as sheriff I was able
to apprehend and arrest many
of the desperate criminals who
committed crimes in this county
as well as in many other coun-
ties of the state. I am proud
of my record along this line and
have received many compli-
ments from officers over the
state for the work I did. I am
anxious to again attempt to
cope with the situation. The
people more than ever are en-
titled to and must have compe-
tent peace officers ; and solely on
my ability as an officer and
character as a man I ask for the
votes of the people.
I shall conduct a clean but
active campaign as I have al-
ways done. I snail do nothing at
the expense of my character to
win the office.
I shall see as many of the vot
ers as possible and will appre-
ciate as much! as any living man
their votes and influence.
Respectfully
JOHN R. BIGHAM.
