An Open Letter
To the Community:
My Fellow Citizens :
A great day is dawning. On November 4, I am confident
that Michigan voters will proclaim to the country at large that
their spokesman in the United States Senate will be our distin-
guished Lieutenant Governor, Philip A. Hart.
He has earned the victory we foresee for him. He is one of
the most brilliant public officials we ever had.
He is a liberal and a humanitarian, and his sense of justice
elevates him in the high regard of our citizens.
Such a deserving public official has earned not only a vic-
tory but an overwhelming vote.
The American principle of "to bigotry no sanction" is sacred
to our candidate for United States Senator.
The "notorious Kamp pamphlets", preaching anti-Semitism,
have been condemned in no uncertain terms by Mr. Hart. He has
joined in unmasking bigotry. Let us honor him for it,
,
My appeal, therefore, is for a very large vote, for so tremen-
dous a majority, that the country will know that Michigan joins in
rebuking reactionary tactics in many quarters in our Government.
Go to the polls on November 4! Vote for Philip A. Hart ! You
will be rewarded in the knowledge that loyalty to our citizenry
is appreciated and that a man who stands for the highest prin-
ciples of justice and humanity will represent us in the United
States Senate.
