The issues between the can- meet and are preparing to start
didaates for the office of Presi- [ building the New _Ulm-C“t
dent are clearly and definitely ‘
drawn, and the voters on No-
vember 4 will render their deci-
sion whether they waint the
policies of Truman continued or
not. Governor Stevenson is the
exponent of Trumanism. He
said that, if elected, he would
continue to pursue the policies
and principles of the present ad-
ministration, that means high-
er taxes, higher cost of living
and more young men to be sent
to Korea to die on foreign bat-
tlefields, more of our hard earn-
ed money to be given to foreign
countries, more waste and ex-
travagant expenditures of our
money. Your vote for Steven-
son is an endorsement of the
Truman policies, the grafters,
five per centers and the givers
of mink coats. They will feel
that you have given them the
green light to go on as they
have in the past. Bear in mind
that you can’t have a bettei
Government than the people
whom you elect to administer
it. If dishonest and corrupt peo-
ple are elected to important
positions, you can’t expect an
honest administration because
your government is not going
to be any better than the men
who are at the helm steering
the ship of state. The longer
that this crowd stays in office,1 cher home again. He had spent
the bolder and more arrogant
they become; the more power
they asume. Look at Truman.
He has been travelling all over
the United States urging the
people to vote for his protige
Stevenson. Is this a part of the
duties of the Chief Executive?
At whose expense is this intens-
ive campaign conducted? It is
useless for me to tell you be-
cause if you read the daily
papers you know. Some of the
self styled loyal democrats and
Truman himself tried to get
Eisenhower to become a candi-
date for President as a demo-
crat. If he had yieled to their
wishes they would now be urg-
ing the people to support him,
but since he announced as a
Republican candidate, he is un-
fit for office. What has Eisen-
hower done from the time that
the self styled loyal democrats
urged him to become their can-
didate that would make him un-
fit and unsuitable. It is quite
obvious that they are far more
interested in the empty symbol
“loyalty” than in principles and
policies that tend to give us a
better government.
This article is intended to
direct the atention of the voter
to the oiic issue, wasteful and
peoples- money and corruption w*th her sister, Mrs. Wm. Sch-
of government officials who J
stay in office too long. I will
continue to discuss the remain-
ing issues at some future time.
