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.
