In a most forceful and happy
mood Martin Dies, U. S. represen-
tative, seeking promotion to the
U. S; senate, delivered a campaign
address to an audience of an es-
timated 5,000 people last inght,
following a number of prelimi-
nary talks by close friends of the
candidate.
The speaker took to task most
directly Lyndon Johnson, and his
'.'pee-wee political henchmen" for
their tactics in seeking to gain
favoir of the people by buying
their influences and votes- He
sdid not overlook' another af his
opponents to whom he referred as
a medicine showman, sceeking to
impress the "common people"
with his sincerity. No reference
was made to Oerald Mann.
The nearest approach to bitter-
fcess in Mr. Dies address, was
reference to ceittain opposition,
for instance among the misguid-
ed C. I. O. boys of Port Arthur.
Seeking to impress his audi-
ence with the gravity of the pres-
ent war situation which involved
troubles within as well as with-,
out, Mr. Dies called attention to
his activities in investigation of
subversive activities throughout
the nation- He predicted that it
would be but a matter of days
now until the Hitler forces would
conquer Russia, and further de-
clared that the very moment
there was an open break by the
United States with Germany, that
the fifth columnists would assert
themselves through the means of
sabotage in the secret destruction
of property. He declared that he
#as never more positive of any
thing than that the subversive el-
ements would deal destruction to
defense industries • >
Mr. Dies tactfully reviewed his
work in congress in behalf of old
age pension*, showing that he
had had a part in passing a law
miking it possible for Texas to
match dollars with the federal
government, of the work he had
done in behalf of labor and vet-
erans of all wars.
Mr. Dies said that some time
ago he held a conference with
John L. Lewis, head of the C- I.
O. whom he urged to take steps
to expel from the ranks of the
organization, all communists and
their influences, and that his pro-
posal was rejected, the result be-
ing that Lewis and the radical
element had since bitterly oppos-
ed him.
The fact that the A. F. of L.
branch of labor and the four rail-
way brotherhoods had endorsed
him on a basis of his record in
congress, was referred to.
Mr. Dies said that recently a
representative of the Argentine
government had telephoned him
to furnish evidence of fifth col-
umn activities in South America,
where the original accusations of
the Dies committee had been re-
ceived with criticism.
Mr. Dies referred to the cir-
cumstance of President Roosevelt
calling him by long distance tele-
phone at his home here in Or-
ange, requesting him to come tc
Washington to discuss essential
matters regarding the Dies inves-
tigation. He spent 55 minutes
^ with the president and while de-
claring that he could not divulge
what the president told him, he
was positive that the president
was impressed with the facts pre-
sented.
Again Mr, Dies answered the
plea of Johnson supporters for
election of their man because he
was a friend of the president. He
repeated the declaration that he
did not propose to be a yes man
for any one, although he had no
~ misgivings on the score of co-
operating with the administration
as a U. S senator from Texas.
He said that he had spdken In
■even different states in behalf of
Roosevelt's election to the preai-
GRATITUDE to his home people
were in the closing words of 0
S. Repr Martin Dies, who is
seeking promotion to the U. S
senate. No words of the power-
ful address on this occasion wert
more sincerely spoken than those
spoken with reference to appre-
ciation of his home town- Ap-
propriately it was pointed "out
that Orange had been favored
with the greatest defense project
of all the gulf coast area.

Answering critics, charging that

who displayed his power o.f ora-
tory in a great way.
Noticeable was the fact that the
several preliminary speakers left
out expressions of condemnation
of Russia and Stalin, in recogni-
tion of the hew situation with the
Reds opposing the German forces.
However Mr. Dies "went down
the line" as usual in condemna-
tion of influences of subversive
elements including communism,
nazism, fascism, and every "ism"
except Americanism.
Judge J T. Adams paid a glow-
ing tribute to Martin Dies, whom
he declared merited the unquali-
fied congratulations and support
of all the people. He closed with
the expression of a biblical char-
acter who said, "Choose ye this
day whom ye will serve" as a
paraphrase to "Choose ye this
day as to which candidate ye will
support."
A very short talk was made by
County Judge Frank W. Hust-
myre, who said that he would be
like a majority of Texans in
voting for Martin Dies for the
U. S. senate.
