Gratis because TO do 80 would
be to approve the definite rush
OF our government toward a
socialized state with all its
evils. If this trend is not ar
rested we are going to 60 the
way Of England and other such
countries, and We are well on
our way now Instead want
2 return to the system of free
enterprise and individual ini-
tiative with more freedom for
citizens of all groups to lead

government interference.
am voting for General Els.
enhower to secure a return to
constitutional government
which the Democratic admins.
tration has neglected so long
in fact practically forgotten.
We are now engaged In .
deadly Korean war without the
approval Of Congress despite
the fact that our constitution
provides that only Congress
has the power to declare war.
The dead Of Korea demand
that we get an administration
that will think Of the lives OF
American boys ahead of world
trade and Utopia.
RW continue 70 permit the
politics and bungling typified
by the Korean war we will
soon be stripped of the best of
our young manhood and that
much more susceptible to de-
feat by Q foreign nation who

How can we continue to sup
port with our vote the party
OF a president who despite the
overwhelming disapproval of
the whole nation keeps in pow
er man as secretary of state
Dean Atcheson whose law
firm is on the payroll of the
Soviet government and whose
son is also an active member
of that same law firm? A man
who furthermore secured for
Donald Hiss, brother of Alger
Hiss the traitor, place in the
same law firm?
Who is Dean Atcheson serv-
ing? The American people or
the Soviet Union?
The boys in Korea where
state department policies have
not been able to achieve a
peace would like to know the
answer to these questions ] am
sure.
To say that I'VE never had
It % good" is an insult to the
intelligence of every decent
American citizen-to say that
We have prosperity when we
know 1t is founded upon the
hloodshed Of World War II and
Korea is a sacrilege. Have
Americans become so selfish
and unChristian they can't see
the blood on the shiny new au-
tomobiles they're driving?
Perhaps they have-and the
Democrats will be kept in
power. But | am counting on
the hard common sense of the
American people to put the
welfare of their country ahead
sional politicians who have
forsaken their beliefs for a
mess of political porridge.
| am counting on Mississippi
plans to put the value they
place on states rights and con-
stitutional government ahead
Of any petty desire of profess
sional political porridge potage.
am counting on the intel
ligence of Holmes county
farmers to realize that it is
not the Democratic party that
gives prosperity for the Re.
publican party to take away
but that good times and bad
times come as part Of world
wide conditions which neither
the Democrats nor the Repubi-
cans can control. I am count
ing on them to remember that
the Democrats did not solve the
unemployment problem of
America and the low prices
on farm products from the
time they went into office in
1882 until the time they plung-
ed us into a world war all the
time promising: II tell you
again and again your boys will
never be sent to fight on for
eign soil.
If we can't have prosperity
without boys dying all over
the world for it, then say I'M
der God we are better off in a
