The fourth term candidate for prssi-
deaf Of the United States on the Demo-
cratic ticket met so heartily with the
approval Of Stain and his Communists
that he gave orders for the U. 8. Com

evidently meets the requirements OF the
Communist and socialistic principles ad-
vocated by the Communist party.
Better still, the Democratic party has

Not only have the Communists been

avowed south-hater.
Thus the Democrats can depend upon
the hundred percent support Of the
Communist, socialists, and their ilk
The latter group are now riding high,
wide and handsome In our government
and getting holder by the minute.
In return for this support the Demo
cratic party will pay dearly. The pay

People who call themselves Democrats
should note that 5000 men and women

Because the worker on the Philadel-
phia lines stayed off from work as a
protest against he upgrading of eight
negro street car operators.
What was the outcome of the strike?
The government took over the lines
and the workers.. were ordered back to
work. Soldiers, who should be training
and fighting, were used to see the work
ers stayed in line and keep order.
The outcome was a complete victory
for the FEPC, another radical branch
of the New Deal government, whose
main contribution to the war effort has
been to sow the seeds Of hate and dis
content between races and work hand
in hand with the Communists putting
into force their racial equality doctrines.
This policy of this administration
which brought in troops to enforce its
decisions is just a f%orerunner of what
is going to happen in the future if the
Democratic party, AS now constituted
stays in power. 1t will be controlled by
the Communists to such an extent that
conditions will be intolerable in the

strike. How much more they will be able
to accomplish in the south if permitted
to continue in power.
How southern Democrats can stant
