Listen Americans!
By GEORGE 8. BENSON
President of Harding College

1t is disturbing to have government official in Wash
mgtOn of sober mind and moderate viewpoint tell
that the United States drifting into Socialism and that
the drift will not be halted This happened in recent
days The with the gloomy outlook cannot simply be
laughed Off He has had intimate experience with all levels
Of government and to extent at least direct contact
with many segments of the public.
Our people ne said to me, have been infected with
the gmmies 1t is fatal disease once it takes root in
nation When the government starts giving something to
people they get accustomed to quickly They don't want
to give it They forget about sound principles the
value of individual opportunity; and ultimately they lose
their sereance Then they become partial total depend
ents No government carry big load of dependents
and finally the social And that's what Socialism
is-a government dominating the people
At the center of government in Washington he sees
constant stream of people from all of the nation
coming with their hands out asking for something And
under this heavy he political officehoders
weakening sound governmental and economic principles be-
ing diluted.
He sees so much of this that he feels it expresses the
character and the attitude of the whole population With all
due respect to my friend think there is still hope for
Americas future Only small percentage of our people
running to Washington with their hands outsreched and
they DO not feel represent the great body OF our popua
tlon Yet certainly the old something for nothing sirens
songwith which tn-horn politicians and demagOgues have
risen to and crushed people throughout the age
continuing and urgent danger.
There is certain antidote to Socialism. No people
who clearly understand what Socialism is and familiar
with its unbroken record of failures throughout history
would adopt it with their eyes Openeven when served
nAdousy bit by bit Thus the job for America is give
authenticity prestige and widest distribution to the facts
about Socialism, Communism-and American way of
life.
The need for the distribution of the educational facts
ought to be proclaimed repeatedly by leaders of
ment in Washington and the capitos by people
active in the leadership of two political parties by bust
ness and employee organizations patriotic and other service
clubs; and above ALL by the school people of the nation
President Eisenhower has stated that resistance to Com
munsm cannot be strong unless our people understand our
freedom structure in America But there hasn't been enough
echong of this important statement other responsible
leaders IN our political economic and educational msttu-
lions.

reasons for selecting the Automatic
are also features of the Shoup
Voting Machines and that the Shoup
has several features that the Auto
matte does not have.
The Board failed to note that
there is still a difference of So
26288 in the price Of the machines,
with the Automatic being The most
expensive.
The board failed to note also that
the Board of Supervisors of Flee
tons may not purchase any voting
machines without the express APP
proval of the County Commission
ers, so their request for prompt
approval is entirely out of order
The Board failed to note that
the reason there is such prepon-
derence of Automatic Voting Ma
chimes in Maryland over those of
the Shoup is because the matter in
many cases was brought to con
clusion too quickly in the counties
before due consideration was given,
and in some instances without bids.
The Public Knows
Citizens who see both voting ma
chimes still on display at the Court
House have not found il hard to
make up their own minds Ninety
nine out of every hundred persons
who inspect both machines, and
vote both machines, invariably say
they prefer the Shoup machine, al
though they are unaware at the
time which company makes which
machine.
These are reasons enough we be-
lieve But in addition the Shoup
machines can be obtained for the
least expenditure of money And
who has a better right to the saw
ing of money in this case than the
taxpayers?

| his so-called nonpartisan program
particularly as these combined
labor bosses personally are about
as nonpartisan as Democratic
precinct executive
Four years ago all the bosses OF
the now combined AFL-CIO were
united in their support of Mr. Ad-
lai Stevenson, right after their
combined pressure had induced the
good Adlai to reverse his position
on the Tait-Hartley Act and join
with them in denouncing it as a
slave labor law" At this time all
these labor bosses are still strong
for Mr.. Stevenson, upon whom they
know they can depend. And with
out exception they are trying to
swing the 100000 members of
this giant union to his support.
They know, of course, that they
fell far short of success in 1852,
but if Mr.. Eisenhower does not run
again (which is their fervent hope
they think with their expanded
publicity, with Mr. Stevenson, they
could beat anyone else
OF this, of course, there is con-
siderable doubt. However, the Re-
publicans will be wise not to dis
count all these Democratic pub
licity advantages, one Of which has
NOT yet been mentioned. This is
the 'nonpartisan" organization
] known as the Americans for Demo
cratic Action, or the ADA. This
ADA. advertises itself as an I'm
dependent and 'nonpartisan
agency, which claim is a very OBJ
vious fraud. Not since its birth has
it found any Republican worthy of
its support. On the contrary, it has
uniformly supported Democratic
candidates and is recognized as an
extreme radical organization, COM
pletely dominated by former New
Dealers
At the moment, its most conspicu-
Gus spokesman is Mr. Robert
Nathan, formerly recognized as one
of the extreme left-wing adherents
of the Roosevelt-Truman regimes.
In the last two weeks Mr. Nathan
has distinguished himself by spon-
soring two anti-Eisenhower state
ments which seem more venom
Gus and violent than have come
from any other source, including
Chairman Paul Butler Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee There
is not space here to cover all the
different radical agencies which
one way or another supplement
Democratic publicity and help
prove false the Democratic claim
that all the newspapers oppose
them. To mention one, this GER
tainly is not true of the Daily
Worker"

The situation gets more and more

The board, in order to tangle up
the situation more and more, if

the purchase of the manually OPP
Grated machine rather than the
electrically operated one. They
point out that the object of this
is to save money-in fact $500,
since the manually operated are
500 less per machine-of either
the Automatic or the Shoup. -
The bids as presented to the two
boards quoted prices which offered
electrically operated machines for
the same price that Allegany cOuh-

GAME OF
POLITICS

Publicity Advantages

Publicity Advantages
Starting back in 1882 the Demo-
Gratis have had a great advantage
over the Republicans in the mat
ter Of publicity. which is the life
blood of politics-particularly in
national campaign Despite this,
customary bleat Of the Demo-
cratic leaders and their labor-boss
allies is that the newspapers are
against them.
This claim is largely false and
always has been. 1t is primarily
based on the fact that editorially
most of the larger papers were
anti-NeW Deal and anti-Fair Deal.
1t utterly ignores the fact that the
great bulk of newspaper and maya
zine writer's were strongly pro-
Roosevelt and pro-Truman; that
the Newspaper Guild was organ
lied by the far left and extremely
articulate radicals; that in its early
days it had distinct Communist
flavor.
Also it ignores the fact that the
Democratic National Committee,
beginning with 1928. when the late
and very rich Mr. Raskob hired the
late and very talented Mr. Michel
son as head Of its propaganda
bureau. WaS-and is-better and
far more extensively equipped
than any other party publicity ma
chine ever heard of Its equipment
has now been expanded by the
monthly publication of Demo
cratic Digest" ably edited by Mr..
Clayton Fritchey, and better fl
nanced than any previous similar
publication.
In. addition, this claim is refuted
by the number of subsidiary
though not wholly subordinated
publicity agencies such as that
now highly financed by the great
labor combination of AFL and Go.
Besides the extraordinary volume
of pro-Democratic publicity eXuded
by its agents, the AFL and CLIO
now sponsor a daily radio program
with a big national hookup and a
news commentator of their own.
Last week this news commenta-
tor went to great lengths TO eX-
plain his complete nonpartisanship
and the complete freedom with
which his contract with the AFL
and the CLIO left him. The one
thing he did not explain was why,
/ if he had all this freedom and lives
up TO this widely proclaimed non
partisanship. his AFL-CIO spon-
sors are spending so many thou
sands of dollars a week on him and

Letter To The Editor

Dear Sir:
We hear quite lot of comment

our schools and the teaching staff,
which | think is wonderful idea.
Now I'm not writing concerning
our schools or our teaching staff,

to make concerning the roads we
drive and the hospitality of our

which had been pushed in the
driveway by the State Roads truck
in clearing the highway. | was cross
ways of the highway with forty
school children aboard, using every
effort possible to get out so | could
continue the rest of the route. The
State truck came by and had TO
pull out of the road almost into
the fence to get by without stop
ping to offer any assistance. This
hasn't been the only incident this
winter Other incidents similar to
this have occurred They have
passed other buSSes marooned on
slippery hills and driven by loaded
with sand and cinders, leaving them
to get up the hill and on their way
the best way possible.
I was informed that the State
trucks were not supposed to pull
other vehicles out of the snow but
after all bus loaded with pupils
is valuable cargo and is really q
large part of the state.
Now we understand that theirs is
a big job and we do realize they
have a lot of territory, to cover
but we have been informed that
