Roosevelt’s Program “Too
Elaborate and Fantastic,”
Noted Writer Says.
An interview with George Ade, in
which the distinguished humorist
expresses his opinions on politics,
is presented here by a roving New
York newspaper columnist, who is
seeing places and people on a cross
country tour.
BY WARD MOREHOUSE.
BROOK, Ind., May 26 iN.A.N.A.).—
George Ade. humorist, essayist, dram
atist and country gentleman, blasted
President Roosevelt and the adminis
tration as he talked to me in his lit
erary workshop at his 30-year-old
Elizabethan country home. Western
Indiana. He spoke as one who voted
for Roosevelt in 1932, who then be
lieved in him, but who has “complete
ly lost confidence in him and all that
he represents.”
The famous Hoosier author, be
loved in his native Indiana, is now 70.
He is in rather good health, although
his legs are not as acrobatic as they
used to be. He sat across from me, at
his great flat-topped desk, and sur
rounded by affectionately autographed
photographs of the great—by tro
phies, testimonials, curios and odds
and ends collected in a lifetime of
roaming.
As the talk switched from the
Broadway that he knew as a hit
writing dramatist, to politics and the
National Capital, his tone changed and
he spoke feelingly, with deliberation
and deadly seriousness.
Loses Lonnaence in rTesiaeni.
“I'm not in politics.” he said. "I'm
only interested in America. I'm a
spectator, out here on an Indiana
farm and I'm watching things and 1
have great concern for this country’s
future. I voted for Roosevelt foui
years ago. I had confidence In him
I've lost all of it. He’s been a great
disappointment to me. I'm now agin
the Government and agin’ the Presi
dent.”
He was looking straight at me from
behind his dark glasses. "This yeai
I'll vote.” he said, “for the Repub
lican nominee. Roosevelt's program is
too elaborate and too fantastic. We'rt
on a jag, a delirious jag. It's all £
perfect nightmare. Unless it's stopped
we're headed for two things—revolu
tion and bankruptcy. And it seems £
shame.”
He paused and went on quietly: "1
can't stand all those crazy tactics ovei
In ' Washington. It's all cockeyed
America is headed for destruction
We’ve completely scrapped all the cop;
book maxims. We're now takinf
shots in the arm. America' is not nov
merely indulging in an extragavance
It’s more than that. This country ii
on a national orgy. Somebody’s go'
to pull up somewhere. The debts are
piling up. Who's going to pay al
these debts and all these taxes? Oui
grandchildren? * * * Well”—and heri
he smiled—“mine certainly won't.”
Supported T. R.
The author of “Fables in Slang’
and Indiana’s m06t celebrated bache
lor continued his slow, deliberate
earnest speech:
“Way back in the 90s I was friendl;
with Cleveland. In 1908 Taft opene(
his presidential campaign right ou
there in my front yard. That was hi:
first speech. In 1924 Dawes closec
his campaign on my lawn. I was i
Taft man. Well, in 1912 I went with
the colonel up there”—he indicated
an autographed portrait of T. R. or
his wall—"I went on the loose with
the colonel because I had such ad
miration for his courage and his hon
esty. I think the standpatters hav<
had me on the blacklist ever since
Sut that was a personal matter. 1
voted for Hughes in '16, Harding in
’20* and Coolidge in '24. But I went
over to the Democrats in 1928 and
voted for Al Smith. I thought Hoovei
wa» hypocritical on the subject o!
prohibition. And in 1932 I wm a
Rocsevent man. I’m not any more.”
He sipped on hi* gin buck and
continued:
“Franklin D. Roosevelt is over
idealistic and be’s having too many
day-dreams. Instead of giving all his
attention to trying to save the sink
ing ship he’s trying to reconstruct it
at the same time. For the good of
America—and I love America—
Roosevelt should not get ft second
term. He can be beaten if it's brought
home to the people that this great
enormous debt is piling up—if the
people can be made tax conscious and
be made to realize that we’re on a
wild spending jag. * * * And an
other thing—I don’t like the between
the-lines implication in all the public
documents. This implication is that
the man who has something is to be
condemned, that we must coddle to j
the miscreants, to the shiftless and i
the lazy, the kind who’ve never tried
to help themselves-. Take it way from
the riche and give it to the shiftless.
It’s all too fantastic.”
I wonder if George Ade could name
the man he'd like to see in the White
I House.
“Well,” he said, “the man who
should have been there was Frank
Lowden, former Governor of Illinois.
He’s too old now, like me. And he's
! a fellow farmer. But, what an able
man he was! He would have made a
fine President. * • • I don’t

SUGAR SHELF RECIPES
“You can make a perfectly delicious sponge
cake with only two eggs—believe it or not! But
you must be sure to use a fine-grained, quick
dissolving sugar. Otherwise you can’t get fine,
even texture and light- _
ness with so few eggs.”
TWO EGG SPONGE CAKE
J t;|i H cup boiling water
I* cup Jack Froit Granulated 1 cup lifted flour
Sugar 1H tcaipooni baking powder
1 teaipoom lemon juice It teaipoon talt
Beat eggs with rotary egg beater until thick and lemon-colored
(about 10 minutes). Add Jack Frost Granulated Sugar 3 table
spoons at a time, beating after each addition until completely
blended. Be sure to use Jack Frost, because fine-grained gran
ulated sugar is essential to the making of perfect sponge cakes. Jack Frost—
the super-sifted, quick-dissolving sugar—insures a delicate texture even in this
economy type sponge cake where only two eggs are used. Continue beating
after all sugar is added until mixture is thick. Blend in lemon juice. Add boiling
water gradually and beat vigorously about 5 minutes. Sift flour, baking powder
and salt together several times. Fold gently into sugar mixture, a little at a
time. Bake in small ungreased tube pan in moderate oven (350° F.) 45 minutes.
Invert pan until cold before removing cake. Serve with Fluffy Cream Sauce or
fresh fruit, if desired.
There's a different JACK FROST SUGAR for every need.

One Start can cause
more engine wear...
THI HIGHIST TIMMRATURI ever recorded in
North America—134°—was taken at Greenland
Ranch in Death Valley, California. Temperatures
of 120° are not unusual. But even such heat does
not cause as much engine wear as ttartingl
This new Fast-Flowing Oil
checks strain of today’s
"Stop-and-Go“ driving
IN TODAY’S ENGINES, moving parts
are often separated by only 1/2000
of an inch. If these parts are not IN
STANTLY bathed in oil when the engine
starts, they rub together! This is im
portant since you start your engine over
10 times a day... 3500 times a year.
The starting period, leading auto
motive engineers say, can cause approx
imately three-fourths of engine wear!
To meet this new driving problem,
i f
Shell has developed a new oil at a cost
of $3,000,000.
The new Golden Shell Motor Oil is
FAST-FLOWING yet TOUGH ... it
lubricates quickly in starting, yet holds
its body under motor heat.
And so the recommended grade of
Golden Shell Motor Oil can:
1. Add a year or mere to the life of your
enginel
2. SAVE you up to 50% of your yearly engine
repairs. (Many repairs can cost from $10
to $100.)
3. SAVE you a gallon of gasoline in every
tankful. (The "drag" of an oil that Is too
heavy can waste over 5% of your power.)
Start protecting your engine with the
new Golden Shell Motor Oil today.
