"SUPPORT FROM ENEMIES OF
AMERICAN SYSTEM” -
Washington, To-day. President Roosevelt's attack on an unnamed newspaper öwn- er has caused a considerable sensation. The attack is interpret- | ed by several New York newspapers as being directed against. Mr. Randolph Hearst. In Mr. Hearst's own paper, the New York American, the White House announcement appears beside a story alleging that "Earl Browder is the titular Communist nominee for the Presidency. The real candidate, the unofficial candidate of the Comintern, is Franklin Roosevelt.”
New York, lafer: Mr. Randolph Hearst has issued a lengthy reply to President Roosevelt from Amsterdam, where he is at present staying. Mr. Hearst says that has not stated at any time whether the President has willingly or unwillingly received the support of the Earl Marx Socialists, Frankfurter Communists |and Anarchists, Tugwell Bolsheviks and Richberg Révolutionists which constitute the bulk of his followers. He simply said that it is shown that President Roosevelt does receive the support of these enemies of the American system of Government, and has done his best to deserve the support of all such disturbing and- destructive elements. «
