He has talked the plain truth about the dangers of

Navy Frank Knox, Adlai was a trouble shooter in combat zones from the South Pacific to
Italy. In 1926, as a news correspondent he sat in Moscow and got a load of the Kremlin dictatorship in operation. He knows what he’s talking about when he discusses the present
world struggle between freedom and totalitarianism.
He has talked courage to the American people.
He has not gone up and down the land shouting for

The year was 1932,
Republicans had been in power for 12 years.
And the Great Depression was in its third terrible year.
What was it like?
The story of the Great Depression can’t be told in pictures

Corruption? Look What the
GOP Has | n Store for You
Speaking of corruption—
Brace yourself for the biggest era of robbing the people in history, if the Republicans win this November.
The big-money Republicans won’t limit themselv es to the “peanut” steal of
the tax fix and the mink coat.
They won’t limit themselves to the $100,000,000 steals of Harding’s gang.
“Ohboy — A Gusher!”
They openly plan to:

Plan to End “Socialism”:
Turn Over Resources
To Big Business
U. S. News and World Report, a conservative magazine, reports the industrialists’ plans in its issue of September 26, under
the heading:
‘‘How to End Socialism in U. S.
PLAN: SELL DAMS, PLANTS, POST OFFICES TO
INVESTORS.’’
Already, the magazine reports, the government’s 26 synthetic
rubber factories are being readied for the block. They’ll probably go at 25 cents on the dollar—that’s the rate U. S. Steel paid
for the government’s big steel plant at Provo, Utah.
® Charles E. Wilson (Ex-General Electric) proposes to sell
off TVA, Grand Coulee, Hooyer Dam, and all the other federal
power projects—thus forever banishing what General Hisenhower has called the ‘‘clutching fingers’’ of cheap public-power.
@
Senator Ferguson
(Republican, of Michigan)
is already at
work to have a study made as to how much ‘productive federal
property can be auctioned off.
® Congress has forced the Atomie Energy Commission to
start backing out of peace-time atomic use in favor of the private
industrial giants.
@ The Council of State Chambers of Commerce is whooping
it up to sell the postal system. The fact that this is against the
specific directive of our Founding Fathers in the U. S. Constitution doesn’t seem to make any difference to them.
But this U. S. News list is only the beginning of the
*‘legal’’ billion-dollar steals that the Republicans, on the
record, would put through.
=> They already benefit from $5,000,000,000 of tax loopholes
—there’d be many more to come.
=> They plan tax cuts for the rich—their 80th Congress tax
bill showed this—and would slap a erushing federal sales tax
on the worker.
=> They plan a green light for price profiteers and
landlords—their platform promises it.
gouging
= They plan higher interest rates for everything you buy
on time payments—that’s Eisenhower’s plan ‘‘against’’ inflation.
In fact, the Republicans promise to give a green light for
every possible big-business lobby scheme to enrich the rich and
rob the people.

Declaring that New Jersey had
failed to revise its wage minimums
of 32% to 60 cents per hour established for. different industries between 1942 and 1948, Lester pointed
to the fact that most of the other
25 states with minimum wage laws
had been raising their minimums
above New Jersey since 1948.

Lester,
to Professor
According
“Nineteen years after the enactment of minimum wage legislation
in New Jersey, the program suffers
from inexcusable restrictions and
budgetary neglect. . . . Some 100
thousand female workers ... are
still unprotected by any legal minimum because no wage orders have
been issued to apply to their occupations.

Cashmore overwhelmed his nearest opponent by a better than
two-to-one vote, with a total some 33,000 more than that of the
powerful Brooklyn vote-getter—Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Yes, that’s part of the story about the political rise of John
Cashmore. But what of the man behind the name? What does
he stand for in terms of issues and problems affecting the people?
Here’s what Cashmore said, in part, when accepting the
nomination as the Democratie Senatorial candidate for New
York:
‘“‘Labor is entitled to a fair and square deal... I pledge
myself to battle the vicious forces that would turn back the
clock and destroy its hard-won rights and gains.’’
New York voters should recognize the senatorial potentialities of John Cashmore, with a record of 30 years public service
as a Democratic liberal, and vote Row ‘‘B’’ on November 4.
What Price Ambition, General?
General Marshall has had confidence in General Eisenhower
for many years. Marshall promoted Eisenhower from Lieutenant
Colonel to Lieutenant General in little over a year, then sent him
to command the Allied forces in Europe during World War II.
On September 17, 1950, Sen. Jenner said: “General Marshall is
not only willing, he is eager to play the role of front man for
The truth is that this is no new role for him, for General
traitors.
George C. Marshall is a living lie.”
On June 14, 1951, on the floor of the Senate, Sen. McCarthy
called General Marshall “a man so steeped in falsehood who has
recourse to the lie whenever it suits his conyenience.”
General Eisenhower now supports both Senator Jenner and
Senater McCarthy for re-election.
What price ambition, General?

BACKGROUND
GOVERNMENT

For more than 12- years Democratic candidate Cashmore has
been President of the Borough of Brooklyn. As sueh he heads
the municipal government of Brooklyn—an urban center with
some three million population, and with many commercial, in:
dustrial and cultural resources.
Typical of his hard-earned schooling, J ohn Cashmore
achieved his present position through a series of lesser jobs.
He served in the State Legislature with that great commoner, Al Smith. Later he was elected to the New York City
Board of Aldermen for six successive terms.
When the new city charter eliminated the Board of Aldermen, Cashmore was elected to the City Council in 1937 and

strike of 1949.
You’ve often heard that John Doe and Richard Roe got their
start as newsboys, and had a rags to riches story of success
thereafter. But the story of John Cashmore is a little more realistic than the ‘‘Pluck and Luck’’ type of story by Horatio Alger.
He went to work.with the rise of the morning sun because he had to get out and earn a few dollars to help his

Lester Holtzman, Democratic
candidate for Congress from the
6th New York District, is truly
a New Yorker — born, raised
and educated—and has consid-
lerable legal and civic experience which well-qualifies him
for Congress.
He makes his stand clear,
“‘T favor tax reduction, but not
at the expense of our defense
program,”’
iii
With these words, Governor Stevenson placed his seal of approval on the candidacy of John Cashmore, ex-newsboy from
the sidewalks of Brooklyn, for the highly important office of
Senator from the country’s most populous state—New York.
Typical of John Cashmore’s self-effacing personality, he had
little to say of himself in answering Governor Stevenson’s telegram, but he did stress the liberal and progressive government
for which both Stevenson and he stand.
In part, his reply to the Presidential candidate of the Demoeratie Party. stated: ‘‘I am sure that under your magnificent
leadership we shall have an overwhelming victory in November,
thereby assuring the people of a continuation of theliberal and
progressive government which has been our nation’s good fortune these past 20 years.’

Bard Takes Clear Position
In
Race for Senate
Nothing could better express. the positive ap-®
proach of Judge Guy K. Bard, Democratic candidate
for “U. S. Senator from Pennsylvania, toward the
E roblenis today facing America than some brief excerpts from one of his speeches, delivered at Pitts_ burgh, September 18._
Seat
“Our Differences Have Nothing To Do With
The End Result That We Are Seeking”
Judge Bard said, in part:
““The times eall for a positive approach to our national prob~lems. It is not enough merely to be against. One must be for
something, and that something must be more than generalizations.’’
‘
Yes, Judge Bard is not against anything, unless it is the
policies and things represented by General Martin, but he is
for the National Democratie platform, the Pennsylvania Democratic platform, and among other things is for repeal of the
noxious and inequitable Taft-Hartley Act.
WHAT
JUDGE
BARD
STANDS
FOR
In the same Pittsburgh address, Judge Bard stated, ‘‘I have
said that I am not opposing General Martin (Republican incumIJent Senator) ; I am simply for different things.
**T am for collective action by the free nations of the world
against aggression.
“‘T am for industrial peace through fair labor legislation
that will protect the worker, the employer and the public.
This of necessity means that I cannot approve legislation
conceived in punitive vindictiveness, such as the Taft-Hart-
ley Act.
“I am for a sound fiscal policy which will@ring our budget
into balance as rapidly as defense needs permit.
*“T am for an expanding national economy and a progressively higher standard of living for every American. That is
oft tradition, but it cannot be maintained if, we listen to the
counsels of fear and timidity It cannot be maintained by standingstitl.:
“*T am, in general, for practically everything General Martin
has opposed and worked against during his tenure in the United
States Senate. The division between us is clear and sharp, and I
shall take-oeeasion as this campaign proceeds to emphasize that
division by referring to the roll ealls on the Senate floor,’’
MARTIN RECORD VERY POOR
» Contrasting the forthright statements of Judge Bard as to
what he represents is the very poor record of incumbent Republican Senator (General) Martin. In the 82nd Congress, Senator |
Martin voted against the interests of the worker, farmer, and
their families in almost every instance.
According to the CIO voting check-list, Martin had a 100 per
cent wrong voting record. He voted for T-H injunction against|
the
Steelworkers,
for cutting

powers,
against
all price and
rent controls, against public housing, against aid to education,
against the St. Lawrence Seaway, and for the tidelands oil grab
by big oil interests.
Martin also voted against Alaska statehood, for various cuts
in European aid to the anti-Communists, and against American
farm labor by voting to cut funds for control and supervision|
