and to guarantee adequate scope

"Much more than Palestine must
occupy the attention of any re-

this affair.

The Nazis got into power about ten years ago because Mr.
and Mrs. Average Citizen of Germany were content to SIT
BACK AND WATCH DEVELOPMENTS, instead of taking an
active interest and an active part in elections.

Today in Detroit through the selfish demands of some greedy,
power-seeking officials, an attempt is being made by well
organized "pressure gang" tactics to break up our NON-
PARTISAN form of city government and to take over the

City Hall.

These political leaders and labor barons aren't content with
a representative voice in city affairs, they want their voice
to be the ONLY ONE—they don't want a man like Jeffries
as Mayor because he is a man who refuses to do anything
contrary to the best interests of Detroit. Because Jeffries is
the kind of public-spirited official who won't let them twist him
around their little finger—they want a man in office whom they
can control, a man who must do as they say "or else" .. .
that's the first step toward a Nazi form of government.

Is that what you want in your home town? Is that the type of
city you want to live in and raise your children in? Are you
going to sit back and watch our American way of life be
slapped around, just to satisfy the selfish objectives of the
power-seeking labor barons and politicians? Let's keep De-
troit free from pressure gangs. Let's keep our honest form
of city government that does not give special favors or special
privileges to any group, but does give a square deal to
EVERYONE. Defend your city . . . defend your American
principles . . . be sure you vote Tuesday, November 2nd, and
be sure you vote to re-elect Mayor Jeffries. Your common
sense tells you it is the right thing to do.

You will agree that it is un-American for certain union
leaders to demand that the rank and file of their members
sign cards pledging to vote against any man running for
public office. Free Americans should retain their right to
decide for themselves for whom they should vote.

BE SURE TO VOTE
