Sincerely yours,
Howard Y. Williams,
Farmer-Labor Candidate
for Congress-"

"My Republican opponent for
Congress in this district, Melvin
Mas, is the full-time servant Of
the big banks, public utilities, and
munitions interests" declared Mr..
Williams at the opening rally Of
he Ramsey County FL. Party
'ampaign, held at the Labor
Temple on Tuesday evening.
"He masquerades in st. Paul as
a progressive, but his record in
Washington is one of the most
reactionary. On IS important and
crucial New Deal measures he only
voted for four. He did not vote
for the AAA, the Refinancing Of
Farm Mortgages, the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration,
he Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton Act, the MIRA, the CWA, the
National Securities Exchange Act,
International Labor Organization,
the death sentence on Public Utility
Holding Companies, the Guffey-
Snyder Coal Bill, the Neutrality
Act, and the Electric Home and
Farm Authority. He voted against
every major bill to provide work
relief and jobs to the unemployed
and was the only Minnesota con-
gresham to vote against the
Frazier-Lemke Bill to help farm
ers.
"In America the tightening of
the lines between progress and re-
action is apparent" continued Mr..
Williams. "Never before have such
organizations as the Liberty
League, the Black Legion, the Ma
tional Manufacturers Assn, the
Chambers of Commerce, and men
like William Randolph Hearst,
Americas Public Enemy No. /,
used so much money and effort
to defeat the progressive cause.
The Republican Party in the ma
ton and in Minnesota must be de-
feated at any COST"

If Your Eyebrows Meet

If your eyebrows meet, get busy
at once and correct that because
a continuous line gives one sin
lister look. Have the hairs above
the nose removed with an electric
noodle and you will notice that your
face at once takes on a much softer
and more feminine look.
