unceasing Ferguson-labor barrage
against his Senate record, con-
tends labor is conducting a "hate
campaign" with "the Communist
technique"
The Communist technique" he
explains, "is if you tell lies often
enough, people might believe
them"
This remark has stung the CIC
political strategistS. The CIO, en-
gagged in a campaign to drive
Communist sympathizers from its
ranks, said the statement was
"slanderous.' 1t demanded that
the Mutual Broadcasting System
donate time for the CIO to an
swer Taft's statement, first made
in a Mutual broadcast August 81
The Taft supporters, however
continue to talk about the "tech-
nique," declaring it was brought
into the senatorial campaign by
"the top brass of labor who have
wrested control from responsible
Democratic leadership"
Nevertheless, the big question in
this State of 7,901,791 residents
still remains:

for Governor and Senator.
Hundreds of candidates for local
offices also will be chosen through
out the State, as well as nominees
for the General Assembly and for
the House of Representatives.
The Republicans also will de-
eide whether Miss Helen Elizabeth

Highlighting the State wide

Gov. Lane and Mr.. Mahoney.
wealthy Baltimore contractor and
former chairman of the State

gubernatorial nomination are
Stephen B. Peddicord, a perennial
candidate for the Office; Harry
Kemper. Baltimore grocer, and
Herbert w. Larrabee, Anne
Arundel County retired naval
officer. None Of these three is
given much chance Of winning,
however.
Both sides in the Lane

vective freely and have jabbed
at each other from every possible
angle.

An excerpt from the handbook:
"As a baby, Robert Alphonso
was greedy for oatmeal. His
nurse tried to curb his appetite
by giving him plain milk instead
of the rich cream served at the
Taft breakfast table. When that
didn't work, the nurse held out
on the sugar.
These tactics must have made
q deep impression on the young
heir. Fifty years later he
was using them himself. When
Taft found he couldn't block GER
tain welfare measures in the Sen
ate, he tried to take the good parts
out Of them"
Another excerpt says that the
boy Taft, while living in the Phil
ippines, was stung by a jelly

This, too," the handbook adds,
must have made a deep impress

The speaker also stressed the
point that every advance made in

by outside pressure.
Declaring that there are things
which all persons everywhere can

racial barriers in the south, Mrs.
