tax money. The tax situation will not cause many
wage eaTners to desert the Democrats
Although the wives of wage earners are becOm-
ing increasingly irked by the rise in the cOst-Of-iv
ing not even this will cause wagewOrkers to vote
Republican. Up to now wages, in many lines, have
kept abreast of rising costs. The WageWOrker, how
ever, fears unemployment more than a rising cost
Of-living. Many recall that when there was no
imitation and the cOst-Of-living low, jobs were
scarce. Higher prices and pay check are infinitely
preferable to low prices and pay check!
KOREA is DEMOCRATS VULNERABLE POINT
One Republican charge will find sympathetic
listeners among wage earners They all share re-
sentiment of the humilatng bunge of the Democratic
Asian policy. Eisenhower, with his of irwin
Cibty, will have a strong appeal for wage earners
when thinking of Korea.

industrial workers. Most farmers and farm workers
have been Republicans additionally; but many were
lured into Democratic ranks by crop price parity"
This defeated Dewey in 194S This time the Repub-
lcans promising gravy to tine farmers. With
farmers back in the Republican fold, and with wage
earners disgusted over Korea Eisenhower and Nixon

Stevenson and Sparkman.
WHERE DO THE CHURCHES STAND?
The real hope of the United States and the World
lies with neither the Republican nor the Democratic
Parties, per Notwithstanding the appeals of all
candidates for the "help of Almighty God" Gods Will
politics" America must have spiritual awakening
to be saved.
Under present conditions, both the political and
labor leaders are able to ignore 60,O0OOO0
Church Members because we equally divided
between the two major Political Parties. Should
not confessed followers of Jesus refuse to be tied
to any single Party? Let be the silent independ-
ent voters for such local. state and national cand

BABSON Discusses November 4th

BABSON PARK, Mass, August 8-The Demo-
cratic Party has many supporters who have always
been wealthy. The Party, nevertheless, aims it's
appeal primarily at the who depend for their
living wages. The Republican Party aims also
to help the masses in basic ways but has not tried
to increase money yages Labor, therefore, believes
it uphold the Democrats to retain the so-called
labor gains achieved since 1882.
6,5OO,OOO OWNERS VS.. 54,OOO,OOO EMPLOYEES
The importance of the foregoing is brought out
by some statistics recently compiled the owner

the latest authoritative estimate there are approx

AS the civilian labor force of the country, ex-

(including 15,000O00 union members) it is obvious
that the direct owners of stocks and bonds
whelmingly Outnumbered by wage eaTners Victory
on November 4th will fall to the candidate who
can get a majority of the wage to vote to
protect the stocks and bonds owned by the life
insurance companies and banks in which they have
their savings.
DEMOCRATS AVOID HARMING LABOR9
The Republicans will have to strike hard indeed
between and November 4th if they are to win.
This is because of the Sins they ascribe to the
Democrats are not greatly resented by wageworkers,
these sins mostly against capital property,
not against labor"

another world What do they care If some big shot
is accused of cheating the Government? The appar-
ent effect their pay is nil. They suspect, more
over, that croOkedness is the usual thing among
