Mugwump — Ee One Now nyrUGWUMP, in American political *** slang, is a name applied to any Independent voter: And Mugwump Is what every good American had .better be this November if he wishes to prevent his country from accel erating the downhill slide which it is now in the process of taking. In other words, hidebound Democrats must vote Republican If their own party candidate is one of those backed by well known Left wing and subversive elements of this country: and dyed in the wool Republicans must vote for a Democrat if he is opposed by a “fellow traveler" Re publican. Practically all of us now know the reason for shortages in near ly every product we attempt to purchase. We know that sub versive elements in many labor unions have usurped control from the American elements, and that these unions have so checkerboarded and arranged the current strikes that essen tial parts for various products are denied the manufacturers with the result that stocks of al most finished goods are piling up in great quantities and laying the foundation for some sort of fearful economic collapse. We know that this is thoroughly, carefully, and brilliantly planned by enemies of our country, both here and from abroad. Most of the moving spirits in this coun try are foreign born, with no more interest in the United States than Americans have in Southern Rhodesia. We know that these men are even sacri ficing themselves in order to bring our country to such a state of collapse, that in the debacle which may follow, their particu lar creed (Communism) can probably take over. This Is all common knowledge, and yet we say—“What can we do about it?” That is a very stupid question. Let us grant that there is nothing at the moment we can do about it, but in this coming Novem ber there is everything we can do about it. We can vote right out of office every man suspected of having any association with the enemies who are attacking us: and we can vote into office men whom we know are running on a platform of Amer ica for Americans. It may sound trite to say that this coming November election could be our last opportunity to vote: But if we put back into power those men— now in Washington and in some of our state governments—who have no Intention whatsoever of controlling the elements Which are so viciously attacking our economy—the next two years may see our system destroyed and cur freedom taken from us: Be cause many precedents prove that even free men will finally demand “government control” if conditions become unendurable. What a heartless trick the non voter, or the thoughtless voter, will be playing on his, or her, children this coming November! >'• • A ' :>£• . ^ ■ ■ ' - ••• ☆ A SERVICE TO AGRICULTURE with Everett Mitchell WhlUy Berquist and th« Homesteaders Orchestra • Farm and Heme Quartet • USDA Reports from Washington e Special News and Events • USDA Markets ■'•v-, v • •R; »■* p i vis j#*/- m 1 *-;• u .- s J —- '.to 7 /■rjQv.
