I hope it isn't. Your little friend, • V... Roy Hbrenberger more than was received by any Republican candidate for any State office in the past ten years. "In presenting myself to the voters, I do so as an individual, not as *a candidate of any group or faction. "The series of landslides during the past fight years swept the Democratic Party into power. Then the administration under the banner of the New Deal, and under the guise of being liberal, embraced and formed a coalition with Communists, Reds and others who wish either to destroy or change America, and they have acquired almost dictatorial control of our National and State Governments. Every American has been shocked by the authentic report that communistic- minded people hold high places in our government. These people have become arrogant, criminally negligent, wantonlv wasteful and reckless with the rights and money of the American people. "In the present European conflict Communism has again shown its ugly head, with its utter disregard for religious and political liberty. It is high time that we withdraw recognition of them as a civilized nation, stop sending them notes and start sending them boatloads of deported foreign Reds to prevent destruction of this country from within. We should drive from public office communisticminded people who seek to implant foreign philosophies in our Government. "What America needs most today is a strong revitalized Republican Party. The loyal Republican workers and voters who have fought gallantly during the last eight vears against thla attack have a steadfast desire to restore honesty, sanity and decency into our government both locally and nationally through a victory at the polls in November in 1940. "I sincerely believe I can make my best contribution at this time to Illinois by presenting myself a candidate for the nomination for United States Senator. As a United States Senator, with a revitalized Republican Party, I can help to solve the problems confronting us today. Keep Out of War "We stand at the brink of war yi % world aflame with intolerance and hate. Our ftrst duty is to keep out of that war. I know about trying to save the world for democracy. We tried it twenty years ago. It cost America over 126,000 lives-^one was my older brother. We had 238,000 American boys wounded--I was one of them. We had four million men under arms---my younger brother was among them. My father also was a volunteer in that cause. "Our biggest problem is to save the American nation, provide jobs in private enterprise and adequate care fo the needy and destitute agqa|. As a1 t United States Senator I will u?e my vote and my every influence to do it. jj will never vote to send a single American boy to die on European soil •nu n" yvn a European war. I will work and I am d vote for strong national defense, and if I ever vote to engage America in any wa^ to defend our honor or our shores. I will volunteer to serve a pain in the front line, and I know that hell of service in that front line. I am no pacifist, but I want no part of the bit- ®08-R-l. terness, hate, death and economic destruction of another European war inflicted uoon America. . .. . V . : .v --/--,, ,'dise.
