Experts are predicting a
difficult struggle between
MesSrs. Kennedy and Nixon
in November. But if Senator
Kennedy continues to cam
paign with untruths in his
arsenal. the American peo-
pie will elect Richard Nixon
President of the United
States by an overwhelming
margin.

I hopefully suggest that,
at long last, this country of
ours is awakening to a harsh,
yet essential, fact. I am re-
ferring to what has recently
been called part of the new
frontier"
1t is my sincere hope that
Americans will realize be-
fore it is too late. that no
nation achieves true great
ness without demanding sac
rif1ce from it's people. Cou-
rageously presenting this
truth to the American public
wins any man, regardless Of
political platform, my re-
spect and admiration.

John Kennedy'S sniping
attack on our Vice President
in his acceptance speech IN
Los Angeles leads me to the
conclusion that John is a
poker player. We have sur
vived the Roosevelt New
Deal, then the Truman Fair
Deal, now John is deter
mined to force on the Ameri-
can people his Rugged Deal,
which is dealt from the bot
tom of the deck.
If the highest Office in our
land can be bought with the
Kennedy's liquor-tainted bill
lions. only God can save us.

How long will our South
ern Democrats endure insults
at the national convention?
The Northern Democrats
seem to have a policy that
says Nominate anybody so
long as he does not come
from the South!" FDR had
literally promised the office
of Vice President to James
ByrneS in 1914. No one
knows why he changed his
mind and demanded Harry
Truman should be his run
ming mate. We might have
been spared the infamy of
the Truman administration.

Liberal, conservative, and
in between, did not someone
at Los Angeles dare to men,
ton principle? Hadn't those
men heard what they them
selves had been saying just a
few days before about each
other and especially about
their respective attitudes?
Are we to pass this off as
"just words. and why take
them Seriously?" The last
report at this writing is that
Speaker Rayburn was un-
happy over Senator john
sons acceptance of the Sec
ond place nomination. This
suggests recognition of prin-
ciple. More power to Mr.,
Sam!
While some quote Scrip
ture, let them consider the
words of the prophet Amos
Can two Cor twenty million)
walk together, except they be
agreed? And while they call
for unity, can there be unity
without truth? Can those
whose expressed concepts OF
the truth differ so widely
unite? Behind whose con-
cept?
How soon will the Ameri-
can people emphasize prin-
ciple even if some or most
of their leaders will not?
If the appeal will now be
to pride mark the word y
not to the pocketbook or see
curity, we have only a few
weeks to wait and see what
Senator Kennedy's attitude
will be on urban rehibilita-
ton, farm price supports, and
so-called Federal aid gen.
orally as he stands on the
platform adopted.
The opportunity now existt
for the Republican Conven-
ton to give a more certain
sound. May it seek to leao
the people to an appreciation
of a consistent position baseo
on moral principles.
