Hutton 19366 Copy of article in Harrisburg Evening News, March 1, 1933. (By W. B. Britsch.) THIRTEEN PRESIDENTS. Having seen the last thirteen Presidents of the United States, be- ginning with Grant, Mr. Albert M. Hamer, Secretary to Mayor Hoverter, ex- pressed the hope today of being able to maintain his record of seeing all the Presidents of his time, by seeing President Roosevelt. Secretary Hamer saw General Grant twice. While a small boy he saw the famous soldier-President at the closing of the Centennial in Phila- delphia, in November, 1876 and a few years later he saw him in Harrisburg when Grant participated in a parade in his honor while completing a trip around the world after his presidential term expired. Hayes, Grant's successor, was seen by Secretary Hamer but it was ten years after he had retired as President. The occasion was when the ex- President marched in a great G. A. R. parade in Washington and the fact that he marched on foot created a great sensation and much enthusiasm. The ardent Republicanism of Prof. F. U. Worley, principal of the old Harris Park School, in which Hamer was a student, gave him an opportunity to see Garfield. While Garfield was campaigning for President, he spoke at the Pennsylvania Railroad station in Harrisburg. Worley dismissed his school in time to permit the students to go to the station to see and hear Garfield. After his election, Worley received an appointment in the Treas- ury Department in Washington. President Arthur was seen by Secretary Hamer while attending the ded- ication of the statue of Gen. John F. Reynolds, a distant relative of the Secretary's maternal ancestors, in front of the City Hall, Philadelphia. Hamer saw President Cleveland several times; once here in Harrisburg during his campaign for the Presidency; once in New York at the great Naval Parade celebrating the opening of the World's Columbian Exposition in Chic- ago, in April, 1893; and at the inauguration of President Harrison in Wash- ington, in 1839, when the two Presidents rode to and from the White House and Capitol. He also saw President Harrison here in the railroad station after the Presidential party had made a grand tour of the West. President McKinley he saw at the Dedication of Grant's Tomb, April 27, 1897 in New York and again at the Peace Celebration Parade, in Philadelphia, in October, 1898, at the close of the Spanish American War. President Rassevelt was seen at his inauguration in Washington, in 1905 and here in Harrisburg at the Dedication of the Capitol, October, 1906. President Taft was seen several times in Harrisburg but Hamer remembers him best when he took part in memorial services held in Washington fer his aide, Major Archibald Butt, who lost his life in the Titanic disaster. While Assistant Secretary of the Board of Trade, Hamer met and shook hands with Woodrow Wilson who was here attending a State Democratic Conven- tion in the old Board of Trade Building. At that time he also met and shook hands with Speaker Champ Clark, of Missouri, who was competing with Wilson for the nomination for President. Hamer shock hands with President-elect Harding and Mrs. Harding in the railroad station here when they were on their way to the inauguration in March, 1921. President Coolidge he saw at his inauguration in Washington and at an- other time he greeted him in the grounds of the White House when the Pres- ident was returning from a walk for exercise. President Hoover and Mrs. Hoover were seen when they stopped in Harris- burg on their way to the inauguration, March, 1929.

Roosevelt If President of the United States, The White House, Washington, D.C. Dear Mr. President: Your Chatauqua "Peace" speach caused this nation to pass through a solemn hour. It is doubtful if any of us can ever think of war again without a shudder. You did a great thing for humanity. And humanity will repay you. In the clubs, on the street, in offices I hear everyone praising you - some who a few days age !! were not so sure It Understand ? Being entirely removed from partisan politics, the speach has probably been one of the greatest political factors of the present campaign, so far. God was with you in that hour. Incidentally, I have expressed myself on war in a small booklet - and am taking the liberty of sending you a copy. Not that I consider the thing worthy your attention - but, well, I want you to read it; for, when you made your great and noble pronouncement - " I HATE WAR If --- -- you sounded a note that could only come from the very heart strings of America. Sincerely, and with every good wish, I am, Yours truly, STUDIO 4413 Matilija; Van Nuys Post Office Station, Los Angeles, California. 1g V. Hutton 7 August 29, 1936.

Dear Mr. President: As a token of my great admiration and esteem I am sending you herewith a cane which comes from the wild Forests of Brazil, from the regions of the Rio Negro. It was made in Manaous, on the banks of the Amazon River. It is real Brazilian snake wood, also called red ebony. The color is natural. When it is cut from the tree it is very soft and pliable, therefore it has to be cured by the sun's rays for four years, when it becomes by nature stiff and unbreakable. I hope this will carry on your good luck and I that you will have four more years in the White House to devote your sincere efforts to bring pros- perity and happiness to the American people.

Marching With Roosevelt Tune: Marching Through Georgia. We're marching towards a better land since Roosevelt set us free From corporate laws and the money clause oppressing you and me, Golden dollars jumped around illusive, don't you see! That's why we're shouting for Roosevelt. Chorus: Hurrah! Hurrah! for him who set us free. Hurrah! Hurrah! repeat his humane plea, Thus we'll sing his praises from New York to westward sea, While we are marching with Roosevelt. He sees the southern planter and the man who grows the corn. With those destined to labor since the day that they were born. Perceives this mighty concourse and their plight that's most forlorn. That's why we're shouting for Roosevelt. Repeat Chorus. There is no north, there is no south nor east or west to him Confronted by a problem deep, he doesn't begin to trim, Hc states the case with clarity then executes with vim - That's why we're shouting for Roosevelt. Repeat Chorus. His helpers picked for wisdom now are planning better things, Than mortgaged farms and stock alarms with the anguish all this brings. Plan conceived in earnestness, not born of clique or rings - That's why we're shouting for roosevelt. Repeat Chorus. Income shall balance bud not one without the other The one to keep the nation straight, humanity the other. But he'll never fill the money-till by sacrificing his brother.

It has been with mingled emotions that I have sat in at all of these meetings and listened to the speeches of the various men at the National Life Underwriters' Associa- tion here in Boston this week. I know you would have enjoyed the various reactions of some of our Democratic friends sitting among the rabid Republican lads of New England as they listened to the same addresses - the reaction was so different among the very members of this Association. I am sending you a voice recorded cylinder through the courtesy of the Dictaphone people explaining a few of the things that happened at our Life Underwriters' Convention. I trust you get even a small portion of the joy that I have had in sending this to you. This voice recording service is one of the finest privileges extended to us in Boston. The Life Under- writers have done all they can to help us and the Statler Hotel as well. The City of Boston has certainly given us the key to the town. And this voice recording service has allowed us to send our voices to our own homes for our relatives and friends. Trusting you enjoy this, I am Yours for the continued prosperity of the Nation.

I believe I have voted for you in previous elections, but this year, before I cast my vote, I should like to examine your record, to know what you have already done in the Assembly, and what you promise to do in the event you are re-elected. I have returned from a tour of the country, during which I travelled 8,500 miles and had an opportunity to study conditions in various parts of the country. The problems which confront the people of other sections are not so very different from the problems which confront us. The basic problem everywhere is the restoration of buying power as it was before 1929. Reduced to a simple, comprehensible statement, that means exactly this. There are twelve million unemployed people in the United States. How are we going to get them back to work? You know as well as I do that, in this machine age, there are certain conditions which must be dealt with before the unemployment problem can be cleared up. I intend to question you as to your 8, 1936 stand on these various problems. 1. CHILD LABOR. Child labor must be elim- inated. By this, I mean that Congress must be given the right to forbid-everything in the country-the employment in industry, on the farm, or anywhere of children under 18. You know, you could not help but know, where the demand for child labor originates. You know that the easiest and weakest part of labor to exploit is child labor. They are, many of them, looking for their first jobs. They are willing to accept low wages. The employer without a social conscience is willing to take advantage of them, and will continue, as he has done in the past, to exploit American children for his own enrichment and profit. The easants. socially-minded people in America believes that Congress should protect American children. Why not The national government protects wild animals your kind in various sections of the country. Why should not the same government protect young human beings? If the Child Labor Amendment is enacted into law, and Congress prohibits the labor of children under 18, two million children will be taken out of work, and two million unemployed will be given rs, employment. That means that two million men will be taken off relief rolls, and off government work projects, and put back to work in private industry. That means that government spending, about which he Republicans are so much concerned, could be decreased by about one-sixth. However, you have fought to the best of your bility-and no one questions that you are an able ighter-to prevent the State of New York from pproving the Child Labor Amendment. As I recall it, this is your record on child labor Republica the New York State Assembly.
