"In its desire for power and

not hesitated to divide the

actions of others who spread
the doctrine of hate, breaking
the great American family into
selfish, pickering groups.
This encouragement of self
ish group power has advanced
to that point where many DEM
Ocrats in this state and other
states are joining with Repub-
licans In calling upon Thomas
f. Dewey to bring to m end
domination by selfish power in
terests, and to unite the people
