This year the appeal to reelect U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt meets with much liberal response because there is no question that the sins of the U.S. government and its lamentable administrative failures are in considerable degree offset by the liberal orientation of the government as a whole. No one can deny that though there has been maddening abuse of the appointive power purely for spoils purposes, an exceptionally fine body of men has been drawn into the government service. No one can question the great service rendered to the country in committing it to the principles of social security and the right of every citizen to a job.
