It won't be a case of changing only this and
that thinp that is frustrating at this time We’ll be
getting a package deal Even if a different party
was able to hasien victory in Vietnam . and we
do not believe this for one second . it might
also hasien economic collapse here at home by
exercising false economy such as failure to back
an effective farm program
Even if a different party was able to deal more
effectively with riots and demonstrations . and
we don’t buy this suggestion . it might also deal
less effectively with Kussia
JHESE ARB FRUSTRATING times. ..but
I times have been worse' In times past we have
had a lower standard of living, we have driven older
cars, we have lived in less luxurious homes, we
have done less traveling, we have had greater dif-
Itculty in sending our children to college, we have
had more unemployment, we have had more people
on relief, more old people wrestling with the woes
ol their sunset years
The Democratic record for extending sympathy
towards the needs of the masses is a matter of
history . and so is the Republican record!
IT WAS DURING 1952 that many Swisher people
I wire fed up" with Korea, Kommunism and
Korruption. as they (ailed it. And they voiced their
fru-tr.ition at the (Kills in November of that year
They gave Ike 63 2 per cent of the votes; Adlai
only k> X per cent'
I iur years later there had been little change
in the status of Korea, Kommunism and Kor -
ruption in our country . but apparently there
had teen another kind of change in Swisher coun-
ty four years later Swisher voters gave Adlai
87 1 |k r rent of their votes, Ike. only 32 9 per cent!
Dim anyone supfK»se that Nixon would tx- more
effective than Elsenhower ’ Does Nixon have some
rr.agu tom h that Ike didn't have"’
UtfE HOPE NOBODY will forget Tuesday that
ww they are not voting for a man they are
voting for a (>art> We would have them while on
(he way to the polls, make a quick survey of his-
tory and think of just one major contribution the
Hi-pubhcan<> have made to our country . a con-
tribution comparable to social security, insured
bank deposit', electricity for rural America, soil
and water conservation, educational benefits, the
avoidance of economic collapse following World
W.,r II sui h as had followed every war in the his-
tory of thi world
In eat h of the above instances, the Republicans
opposed the program' by as much as a 99 per cent
n-.ijoritv when they were pasv-d by congress
And yet the Republican' have the gail to tell
U' they believe in progress and a belter life for all
Am«-ri< an' ’
• he<k the mnrds to see how the Republic ans
m < ongre- voted on EA'ERY piece of progressive
legislation since the Civil War . legLslation that
is now universally accepted by both parties as (mrt
of their way of life
In Texas they speak nf progressive conserva-
tism " There is no sm h amm.d Progressive con-
servatism like "conservative Democrat,” is as
real as a prinkling Baptist.”

would cost him millions of votes.
He is for so mue h now that he

coming out so late The polls show-

for oil and gas industry. Y’ou can
ri-si assured he will be for them
so the little man can pay the
taxes.
I read four years ago in a mag-

jti't taxes, it would pay the na-
tional debt in nine years
Rot, lYice is another one for the
gas and oil Industry. And I have
rn-ver learned why he was the
lone congressman who voted a •

Dear Editor
Th*1 A'otc-r in this Flection is like
the bull in a bull fight He i' going
to butt at a red herring cap*1 c all
ed law and order" when his
real adversary is the1 bull - fighters
— the HK AI. i"Ues of this election
arc H| Vietnam and the foreign
policy of the t'nited States and
i2» domestic policy including civil
rights and the revolution against
the established political order, the
problems of the c itic-s and educ a-
tion
This rext • herring cape has
twen devtsc-d because Dick Nixon
would not he* able to meed the1
challenge either of our problems
in foreign affairs nor our domes-
tic progress He represents — at
least tn foreigners — that element
in our society that would "get
tough" Latin Americans would ex-
pect him to send the Marines"
to protect American interests in
Central and South America He
would shake his fist in the1 faces
of Russian leaders. He would pro-
long the Vietnam War until an
honorable" peace could be1 estab-
lished — meaning that the* A •
itv-rican people are not to realize
that a colossal blunder was made1
by American leaders, whose real
purpose1 was to ged Defense’ ap-
proprations like $72,000,000,000 pass-
es! in Congress by voice vote! These
same- tat cats have raised a $20,-
00(1,000 campaign fund for Ntxon
and are denying a $700.(810 cam-
paign fund the\v raised whe-n they
thought I.KJ would be* their can-
didate to Hubert Humphrey
This red - herring cape that the
voter bull will butt again and a
gam and probably decide to vote
on is based on a series of lies so
big that they would shame Hitler.
One of these1 lie's is that the1 strexds
of American cities are no longer
safe — yi’t thousands of pemple1
throng the streets of every city in
America every day with more per-
sonal safety than they had a hun-
dred years ago What is REALLY
meant Is that we're going to stop
those damn niggers from march
tng tn the streets singing "We shall
overcome" and stop those univer-
sity students from demonstrating
against the established order.
Another of these lies Is that the
Supreme Court has hand-cuffed the
police. But the Court has ruled
merely to protect the tights of the
accused — m the Court ruled to

The "Decade of the Sixties". . .
how well will it measure with other
decades? Rather than tally the us-
ual industrial or agricultural ad •
vaneements or laek of them, let us
examine the current citizen's about
what we see and hear and read
Traveling from the supermarket
to party to church our eyes view
adults in an array of apparel that
only "seeing would be believing".
It would stm that much of our
not so-youthful image is stuffed with
stretch pants and mini - dresses
minus hat and gloves These are
the in” things. Well, maybe With
few exceptions have a dress, hose,
gloves, and hat ever been consid-
ered inappropriate through t h e
centuries Is our apparel image
lust "in” or in good taste.
Never in the annuals of our de-
mocracy have threre b*-en so many
presidential advisers and critics as
in this decade Fortunately, only
a small percentage are actually on
the payroll or heeded, else we al-
ready would be in W W III or IV or
under communist rule, tp to this
decade critics and advisers usually
were those who became authorities
AFTER much study and research.
Has the advent of TV brought our
t ntt'-d State' President into our
homes so thoroughly that we as-
sociate him and that great office in
a lc ss radiant light than when we
used to hear him on radio only or
drive great distances just to
glimpse him in a parade1’ For
some of us this transition of pre-
sidential image may be- difficult
but it certainly never will condone
poor manners and attitudes towards
the holder of the highest office in
our land!

it is PEOPI.E not areas that has

lies is that the Court has denied

the truth is that the Court ruled
that no one could be FORCED to

The REAL i"Ues are (1) foreign
policy that will establish peace in
