His appeal “to American Gentiles with Any Money Left” is flanked by such revealing phrases as “Blame Roosevelt!” “Americans Tricked!” “Communistic Jew Deal” and “Jews and Communism.”

The candidate modestly brackets himself with “Our Great Americans: Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, McFadden.”
