Won't Be Imposed On.
"I swallowed Willkie in 40
Dewey twice in "A and '48, candi-
dates foisted upon the majority by
sharp practice, but now that the
Democrats have taken over oul
party by voting in Republican pri-
maries by the ruse OF. falsehooc
and corruption, and can be ex-
pected to do it again four years
from now, I will be- imposed upon
no longer" he declared.

who was nominated and is entirely
surrounded by men who know ex-
actly what they want-which is
not the good of this country" Col
Mccormick asserted.

son "is the nominee of the CIO
for which the present Democratic
Party is merely false face, and
which intends to destroy utterly
private initiative and private
property"
He proposed that Eve support
those American minded men who
run as Republicans until they find
it politically desirable to run as
members of the American Party
I'm States where the Republican
Party has been betrayed, such as
New York and Massachusetts, ]
think we should support the pa
triotic candidates for Congress on
the Republican and Democratic
tickets in those States and put up
American candidates where both
candidates are international New
Dealers" he said.
