seriously disagree. There are two roads.
One of governmental control through
strong central bureaus, issuing direc-
tives, fomenting emergencies, hiking
taxes. The other is by supporting pri-
vate enterprise, encouraging individual
initiative, assuring sound financing and
reducing the federal debt. Jack Ken
nedy represents the first road and
Richard Nixon the second. We choose
to trod the second road.
It is paradoxical that the Democratic
party which was once the party Of the
people and against centralized federal
governmental controls, and the Republi-
can party once espousing strong federal
government, have to some extent
snapped places.
We can be thankful that in the Con-
gress there are still members of each
party who have thus far formed a coali-
ton to save Americas financial SOL
vency and many an Americans indi-
vldual liberties. Somehow, the men of
sound principal and experience in Con-
gress have teamed to keep the United
States strong, progressive and power
full.
1t is this coalition which the National
Democratic party desires to eliminate.
The efficiency of organization and the
power shown in the Democratic National
convention, the party platform and the
selection of Kennedy as it's leader
demonstrate it's determination to re-
make the United States into a land of
federal control and domination. The
fantastic promises, if executed, land we
believe Kennedy can and will execute
them) will take this free nation to the
brink Of destruction, financially and
philosophically. New frontiers indeed
will be reached, which will resound
around the world with we
fear.
Surrounded by such liberals as Adlai
Stevenson, Chester Bowles. Walter
Reuther, Emanuel Celler, "Soapy'
Williams, and Eleanor Roosevelt, with
a Democratic Congress, for John Ken
nedy it will be a rendezvous with des-
tiny and the remaking of the United
States in the image Of these liberals.
Already historic rules of the Senate to
assure full debate are being challenged;
committee chairmanships in the Con-
gress are in jeopardy; voting laws, poll
taxes and voting requirements are
marked for obliteration; implied pro-
misses to appoint more Negro federal
judges and wide authority to be given
the attorney general to institute federal
action are made.
We do not believe that Jack Kennedy
is making political promises he does not
intend to keep. If elected we believe he
will attempt to remake America in his
own image without hesitation. He has
wealth, he desires ~power-the power
of the office of president.
Richard Nixon, experienced in the
executive department of the government
adopted a much more sensible approach.
Even though he is committed to a plat
form of government assistance and re-
form, his experience in the executive
branch Of the government dictates a
more logical approach. For example:
Aid to Education = Nixon would
limit government participation to build
ing construction, not to teachers sal
aries, taking the position that local tax
payers relieved Of construction costs
would be able to meet teachers salaries.
Farm Aid - Nixon would strengthen
controls over acreage, but not market
ing, would build up soil bank of land
taken from use, giving reasonable sup
port to prices.
Medical Care - Nixon 2
voluntary system" of care for the
aged, supported in part by the Federal
government and the states.
Foreign Affairs = Nixon has eipht
years intimate experience in foreign af-
fairs, having served in the Eisenhower
cabinet and knows personally most of
