The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-10-09

 Watertown, Conn,
 My Dear MT. Tyler:
 After carefully reading the attacks If you would call them that, against United States Senator John A, Dana. her I feel compelled to ask you two questions, which I assure you are of the utmost importance, They arc:
 l. Is 1t true that you are D mem Der Of the Communist party9
 2. Is it true that Brien McMahon tho Democratic candidate for the United States Senate Is paying the expenses of the United Nations As- soeiation2
 Each statement you have made against Senator Danaher runs along the exact same line of thought namely to attack, smear and smear some more, as that which has been and still is employed by the communists,
 It is no secret that Brien Me- Mahon has paid for radio broadcast time that was supposed to have been used by the United Nations Association. You may recall that when the Hartford chapter of your SO called united Nations Assoeia- ton" advertised 1t was holding c public debate to which Senator Danaher had been invited, but re- fused to attend, the radio announc. CT said "The program you have just heard was paid for by Brien Me- Mahon, Democratic candidate for the United States Senate" Did you think that was honeSt2
 do not for 0 moment assume that you are sincere in your op- position to Senator Danaher, You are merely trying to serve your polii teal master and you are trying to use the unsuspecting members Of the Waterbury United Nations AS- soeiatlon as pawnS in Q deal where" by you expect to increase your own selfish political prestige. Your poli- tIcal master In this case Is Homer s. Cummings, former Attorney Gen" eral of the United States who was replaced under circumstances which are still mysterious to me. Through you and others like you MT. Cum- fnings hopes to be able to elect hls "Offce Boy" Brien McMahon to the United States Senate.
 AS Q result of your attacks against Senator Danaaler and the smear technique you have used you stand today as Q man who hopes to help bring about Q one man government in these United States because you would try to help elect Q man who by his own words admits that he would be, # elected, nothing but Q rubber stamp. Examine these words which MT. McMahon used when he accepted the Democratic nomina. ton for the Senate ITO support without wavlng or qualification the plans for World Peace that will be submitted to the Senate by Pres Franklin Delano Roosevelt"
 MT. Tyler, If you were on intelli. gent voter you would have asked Mr. McMahon What Peace Plan?" Does Roosevelt have Peace Plan and If he does why doesn't he tell the American people2" You should also ask MT. McMahon. But what If MT. Roosevelt iS not elected2" Would you just as quickly and blind. ly support any Peace Plan that was submitted to the Senate by PreSi- dent Thomas E. Dewey?" Did you ask any of these questions, MT. Tylerp Of course not. You are merely acting on the orders from your political master.
 Let's face the facts. You are only school teacher in Watertown. On that side we place the opposition to Senator Danaherr Now let's look at the other side of the ledger. Here we find Americas leading newSs papers, periodicals and statesmen who pay high tribute to the sena- tor from our State John A. Dan" aher,
 The Boston Herald says What we and the Press galleries admire in the Connecticut Senator is his consistency, his refusal to submit to stTaddle m issue in the hope Of at- tracing dubious support ct home".
 The Hartford CouranS calls him Able and Industrious"
 The New Haven Register says Tn Washington Senator Danaher has been a credit to Connecticut, with c combination of unusually keen mind, firm conviction and con. spicuousIy courageous and iEde- pendent spirit in public Mfe".
 The Saturday Evening Post ed- itoriaily declared Senator Danaher to be c tough minded defender Of liberty who can be depended upon to do his best to protect the over. zeaiotls bureaucrat from his inJuS. icious impulses".
 Senator Wallace II. White MI" nority leader in the Senate of the United States said Senator DaIi- aher is an indefatigable worker, Of high intelligence, of most agree. able personality and no Senator is held in higher esteem than iS Senator Danaher. An esteem which is shared by the entire Senate body.
 Senator TydingS said T look upon Senator Danaher a6 one Of the most able members of the United States Senate"
 Senator Ausaln said Tn my 10 uaaFa in the Senate Rav that
