CHADWICK COMMENTS
Said Sandidate Chadwick: THE
issue between my opponent and
myself In this senatorial campaign
goes to the very life of representa-
tive democracy. His appeal to the
voters In upon the basis that no
has been a yes man TO the execu-
tive. He does not point. in eight
years In office as a congressman.
To any place where he evei
crossed the will of the executive
in an endesvor to represent his
people: nor does he propose. II
elected. that he will act with any
degree of independence.
In other words. you. as voters
are deciding whether or not you
want a mere yes man agreeing
with the president, II he Is re-
elected. or agreeing with honest
Harold Ickes. dear Albin Bark
ley, and Jimmy Byrnes. Paul V.
McNutt. Madam Frances Perkins
as leaders of the New Deal party
in the event of Mr.. Roosevelt's
defeat.
Let us assume that Mr. Roose-
welt has been reelected and that
he is surrounded by an entire
United States senate composed OF
Wallgrens. What then has be.
come of the United States sen.
ate? II partakes more the ma.
ture of the English House OF
Lords in 1774, than 1t does of the
free and independent body II was
designed to be.
If we get a senate full Of
'yes-men,' like my opponent, you
might as well, in my opinion. burn
up the Declaration of Independ-
ence and start issuing uniforms to
the senator's"
WALLGREN ANSWERS

conditions of the American peo-

ordinary World war veteran"

that war. that he Is not "A pro-
fessional veteran"
Il am coming as your candidate
with eight years OF sincere and
valuable experience in the congress
of the United States. having been
your congressman of the second
congressional district of the state
of Washington. This experience !
gained as a congressman during
these eight years will be an invalu-
able asset as United States SEN
