must be on the verge Of Gre
ating another Adam and Eve
and starting all over again.
His chosen creatures are max.
ing such a worldwide mess Of
things.
Today the gravest problems
are facing America and the
world in general. Other coun.
tries look to us for leadership,
and the type of leadership we
are about to give them is the
same type which was respon-
sible for World War II.
Any war has its problems,
but the problems Of peace are
even greater than the prob
lens of war. After the first
war Woodrow Wilson was Of
fered on the alter of sacrifice.
The rottenest president in
American history, with the ex.
ception of Ulysses Grant, sue
ceeded him. The unspeakable
and unforgettable Warren G..
Harding ushered in an era
which end d with Herbert
Hoover's ignominous defeat.
History is repeating itself.
The COP Is cashing In on the
nations period Of GONZALES
cence, blaming the administra.
ton for the sins committed by
its own infamous sons. Like
Wilson, Harry Truman, a sim
cere but ineffective man, Is be-
ing made the scapegoat.
RIDING HIGH
The Republican Party is rid
ing the high wave, so its lead.
ers maintain. The Republicans
everywhere are avoiding the
real issues, both foreign and
domestic, In favor of dragging
the familiar red herring
across the American land
scape.
America does not need to
be saved from the commu.
nists. 1t needs to be saved
from the epub cans. IL
forced TO choose between a
communist screwball and a
Republican Tory, we might as
we'll flip a coin.
do not imply that all Dem
ocrats are pure and selfish.
Many are professional office
holders, pretending to hold
progressive views, the while
deceiving those who elect
them to office. But 1t is I'M
deniabie that the workingman
who claims to be a dyed-in-the-
wool Republican is In reality
a monstrosity belonging not In
a factory, but In the Smith
sonian Institute.
The Republican Party has
never done anything for the
working people, and until the
Tafts, Brickers, Herberts,
Deweys, Hoovers, Rameys,
and a few thousand more like
them are cast off It will never
begin to represent anyone but
the enemies of the common
people.
CALLS TUNE
"He who pays the fiddler
calls the tune" Are we so
blind or so forgetful that we
do not realize that John Brick
er and his Republican cohorts
finance their campaigns by re-
Ceiving millions of dollars
from the industrial monopol-
lists? Have we so soon for
gotten that the Morgans, Du-
points, Mel Ions, Vanderbilts,
Sloans, Rockefellers, and the
rest of the 400" are the real
bosses of the Republicans who
run for the top offices?
II It is the latter we shall
have rude awakening. II the
Republican Party sweeps the
nation we will experience a de-
preston that may well night
precipitate a revolution ere
long. The men who worship
the dollar sign at the sacrifice
OF the country's welfare; who
pauperized two.thirds OF our
population; who robbed mil.
lions of people OF their farms
and homes; who defied every
precept OF decency and human
rights, will turn the era of the
common man into an era OF
uncontrolled greed.
Do not be deceived. A petit
traitor such as one Ottawa
County Republican stooge
who holds his seniority
at Champion Spark Plug
who voted against labor on
every issue of importance in
the last session OF the legisla-
ture, mind you--is typical of
what the Republican Party as
a whole has to offer you and
me.
The only good Republican
who ever really amounted to
anything was Abraham Lin
coin, and a Republican shot
him.
