Ford, three times candidate for the Vice Pres idency on Communistic ticket. NO. 3. Sidney Hillman, labor racketeer and head of P.A.C. and a white house favorite. NO. 4. Political job holders who have fattened off taxpayers’ money during the New Deal. NO. 5. Hogue, Hannegan, Kelly and Flynn, bosses of corrupt political machines. Why Are They Fighting Dewey? Because he has denounced communistic trends and propa ganda. Because Dewey will clean the grafters and crooks out of Washington as he did out of New York. Because (we are quoting Stanley High, former high ranking man in the Roosevelt administration) “They fear him because they see in him the determination of millions of Americans, after a long period of wilderness wander ing, to go up and posses the land. It is not Dewey, personally, that they are afraid of, but, rather, what would happen to their plans if Tom Dewey’s kind of U.S.A. ever got going.” They have lines into the white house and backing in the cab “KEEP CORDON ON TH E JOB* SAYS FORMER GOVERNOR CHARLES A. SPRAGUE inet and the supreme court. They have a law-making and law- defeating lobby on Capitol hill. This year, with an immense slush fund and a presidential green light, they aim to extend that power to the nation.” Because of Dewey’s pledge to the American People: “To Americans of every party: I pledge that on January 20th next year our government will again have a cabinet of the ablest men and women in America.” “To Americans of every party, I pledge a campaign dedicated to one end above all others, that this nation under God may con tinue in the years ahead a free nation of free men.” “We shall return to the ways of common honesty. A people of 'W-W:': integrity will insist on a government of integrity. “I deny that the American people are finished. America is at the morning of her destiny.” SENATOR CORDON ■ . •" V v;- THIS Y E A R ............ ITS TIME 'V ote ^efitdUicatt TO CHANGE Charles A.

It would bring a reform government and signify a return of one party management of national affairs.” * Malheur County Republican Central Committee
