amount of legislation effectively.

candidate, Ray BALDWIN, has not de-
MED any of the charges regarding
his opposition to all social legiSla-
ton, the stamping out of sWeatshopa

law, and others. He cannot deny
these because he was the leader OPP
posed to these humanitarian pro-
grams of Governor Cross. He would
have you believe that he is no long
er a Roraback man and that he
heads new party. This, / tell you.
Is not so. It is the same old party
composed of the same men who ruiz
ed the state as reactionaries and
with hidebound attention to the
special interests of all except the
working man."
