leaders of the Grand Ol


Leaders Of the Grand Old
Party say they lack a posi-
tive, hard-hitting program
thatll bring victory. Let's
look at one!
Republicans are for all
measures that benefit the
great unorganized majority
that has no voice. They are
the homeowners, factory
workers, farmers, business,
professional people who are
paying their own way and
paying taxes to keep the
United States solvent.
The G.. o. P. Is against noisy
pressure groups, ADA'ers and
minorities bent on creating a
welfare state, to the detri-
ment of the man who pays
his own way.
Republicans are for free,
independent American labor,
the finest in the world, but
against labor leaders who
price working men out of their
jobs. Labor must be protected
against a super-government
OF labor leaders in cahoots
with the New Frontier.
Republicans are for protect
ing the value of the dollar by
diverting billions in foreign
aid the New Frontier spends
in Communist and so-called
"neutralist" nations who'd
side with the Communists if
the chips were down. Use
those billions to retain and
help our jobleSS!
Republicans want to pro-
tect the working man against
the influx of cheap goods
from abroad, that may force
him out of work.
The G. o. P. is for enforce
ment of the Monroe Doctrine.
1t is for a greatly stepped up
anti-missile program and 9TH
er means to protect this Ma
ton from attack. 1t is for
increased corporation with
NATO countries. particularly
England, France, West Ger
many. 1t is for moving the
United Nations to Geneva,
and disseminating it's efforts
to police the world.
Dick Nixon marshalled most
of the great, unorganized ma
jority that has no voice. But
the ineptness of Lodge, and
NiXon's being pulled over to
the cleft" by conniving 1ib-
erals, cost him the election,
and maybe the future of this
Republic.
Barry Goldwater might be
able to salvage it. It's going
to take a lot of statesman
ship and downright CUTS to
do it. Harry Puffer.

The time has come to do
away with the Republican
Party. The G. o. P. has out
lived it's usefulness. 1t is no
longer possible to sell this
relic of defeatism to the Amer
lean voters. It's principles and
policies have too long been
dominated by a philosophy OF
me too, only better" Now is
the hour for the leaders OF
the Republican Party to an
nounce that they have dis
solved the charter of the once
Grand Old Party.
Shakespeare once asked
what's in a name? Far too
much I'm afraid where the
G. o. P. is concerned. For
the past three decades liberal
writer's have been casting Re-
publicans in the dual role OF
bogy man and villain and
many people have unwittingly
accepted their biased writ
ing as gospel.
Many voters who oppose
the socialistic doctrine OF the
Democratic Party still vote
for their candidates because
they were raised in an en-
vironment where the name
Republican was considered a
dirty word.
America needs an honest to
goodness conservative party
that bears the liable Conserva-
tive. A determined political
party that has faith in the
private citizen and strives for
progress through their ef-
forts, has much to offer this
Nation.
Every man and woman who
believes in this country and
the doctrines that made her
great can and will enlist un-
der this banner. Every intelli-
gent voter who believes in
mans personal, political and
economic freedom will rally
to the support of such a party
A ground swell of conserva-
tism, not RepublicaniSm is
sweeping the country. Let us
wake up to this reality and
cast off the albatross that is
keeping countless thousands
of Americans from voting
their convictions.
