America cries out desperately for leadership Nine
millions of men unemployed in the richest nation
In the world Six and half million farmers are struggling
in vain for fair return for their labors We have the
means here in this boundless America to provide the
Jobs needed for workers and the markets needed
our farmers if will only release the chains that have
shackled private enterprise under the New Deal give
America chance to 60 ahead.
In this crisis, two outstanding leaders present them
selves as candidates of the Republican Party for Pres
dent and Vice President with faith that the nation
meet this challenge and provide jobs for unemployed
workers and parity for our farmers:
WENDELL L. WILLKIE, who has risen from Jobs
as harvest hand in Minnesota, worker in steel mills
and tool dresser in oil fields and who says that
America can and must be preserved land of OPP
portunity.
CHARLES L. McNARY lifelong friend of the
farmer, who Is fighting for that at last has
chance for attainment under Wendell Wilkie-justce
for the farmer.
Here are two men who have faith in America. Here
are two men whose feet firmly rooted in the soil
men who have worked with their hands, men who own
farms and know that America can prosper only as the
men and women who toll prosper No desire personal
power strs them No ambition to NEEDLE affairs
Of other nations get involved in Europe's wars will
ever be charged to them No scheme for third term to
set aside the of democracy and prepare
for dictatorship be expected from these men, Rather
they seek to keep America at peace and preserve the
Liberties and opportunities which have enabled sons and
daughters of land with equal chance to find here
richer and more satisfying existence America they saw
must be kept land where every boy and girl has q
chance.

place for the parties.
Refreshments that include a
