l am just housewife and I
have no political ambitions. Yet,
am neglecting my duties to de-
vote my time to government. Why
do do this? Why do I give nv
time while l seek nothing in re-
turn for myself?
The answer, l think, is simple
love my country. l am grateful
for the opportunities it gave me
to stand on my feet to make my
own decisions to enjoy the environ
ment of a Constitutional, free
Ameria. l want those opportuni.
ties kept open for boys and girls
who are able and willing to come
up the hard way. l want to "boot
out" the pinks who have wormed
their way into our government.
want to a sweep out those evil
men who laugh at patriotism.
smoker at the Constitution and
the Communists who sheer at God.
] want to end their sordid influence
upon the young men and women of
America before it is too late.
want once more to see our
government respected by its own
people. I want once more to see
the reestablishment of sound
dollar. I want to stop the prosti-
tuition of the public trust. l want
to root out the immortality and
cynicism which winks at crooks
and crookedness in public office and
a government alert to the COM
nipnistic menace both foreign and
domestic; government that will
stop the socialistic trend which
gnaws at the underpinnings of our
industrial production and security.
A government with a firm foreign
policy, not a butterfly policy of
jumping from one expedient to
another. No more of political
charmers and new deal-fair deal
word twisters. | am sick and tired
of jugglers of slick phrases who
try to conceal the Washington
Mess" We mant no more fun
making with the sacred heritage
of our country.
We want a plain honest serious
government headed by men who
love Ameria and all it stands for.
We should have return to the
simple virtues of patriotism and
a revival of confidence in the things
that have made America great.
We want an end to the mounting
power and brazen arrogance CT
political bureaucracy. We want
a government which understands
the simple fact that freedom stems
from individual responsibility and
tyranny from centralized authority.
We want to see our country
strong enough to be free and free
enough to be strong. We do not
want to trade liberty for social
ism, which is watered-down COM
nlunism. We do not want to be
a kept citizen, humbled and dulled
by having the state look after the
various human beings. They want
to stand on their own feet proud
and unafraid. This is much more
than campaign-it is crusade
for the Republic.

Like some 200 other citizens of
this county am member of the
Citizens Association for Public
Schools. l Joined because / felt
such an organization had a place
in the county and would be help
full in getting we'll qualified people
to run for the Board of Education.
l now wish to express my doubts
as to their usefulness, partly be-
cause so few people felt the need
of joining and partly because such
excellent people were nominated
independently.
Without casting aspersion on
the candidates who were nominated
at the convention l should like to
point to two who were not we'll
enough known to that group to
receive their Endorsement but who
remained in the candidacy and had
no difficulty in getting their petit
