Fighting Dewey?
NO. 1. Earl Browder, former Communistic candidate for the
Presidency.
NO. 2. James W. 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

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.”

Mr. Paul Mallon, noted political observer writes this w eek:
“A Dewey victory would bring a new kind of government with
an affirmative program likely to be carried through. It would
bring a reform government and signify a return of one party
