Folks, this year we're going to change deste, at ry rary going to change -
foo Sie SRA aaa:
We're going to have en American dea) for Americans in the American ways
dealers.
I'm tired, and J know you are, of having American freedom ge the eteke in an
international poker game, . ; .
We are not going to etend idly by while our Prestdent gambles avey
America's future with all the odda of history stacked egeinst us.
It would be fatal now to underrate the strength and the deliberate in-
tention of Mr. Truman's Fair Deal horde of assorted varieties of panhendling
five percenters, gengstere, racketeers, political backe and collectivist
The ingolence, the arrogence, the hypocrisy and the corruption of the
palitical powers that be have now become an insult to every cod-fearing, law-=
abiding and freedon-Loving American.
| Today, America is at the mercy of @ man who holds in his handa more power
then eny other man in history ever} dreamed of. His sole claim to euccesa if that
he succecded in shifting the center of the unholy Pendergast alliance between
" politicizns and racxetcers, nemely the Kansas City Kitty, to the federal treasury
| and turned thie nation and the whole world into an unhappy political hunting
ground,
And now the take hag become so enormous thet the Fair Deal masterminds
Well, we accept the challenge, We'll call their hand,
Out here in Indiana when anyone gets drunk with power, the people sober
him up. When anyone becomes an indispensible man, We cut him down to size,
When anyone becomes infallible, we make him eat crow, When anyone seeks to
play off one group againet the other for hia own selfish interest, in the name
of the public good, we call bia bluff, And when anyone resorts to bribery and
deceit to cover up his betrayal of & public trust, we smoke hin out.
These are traditional Hoosier reactiong to sham, fakery, freud and
betrayal of the public interest whether on the local, the state, the national
or the international level,
as And we do not now propose to abandon then, .
ae The truth is that never have the American people been so betrayed as
