RENO ODLIN CHALLENGES
PARTY LOYALTY OF RIVAL

Reno Odlin is challenging his Democratic opponent for election to the United States to show why a swing to extreme left wing radicalism is any less embarrassing to the national administration than outright partisan opposition.

Early in his primary campaign when he was winning the Republican senatorial nomination Odlin declared that it would be a betrayal of Republican principles to denounce any beneficial legislation merely because it had a Democratic origin, and in his fight for election he stresses the fact that he represents a "forward looking progressive Republicanism which, while advancing with the times, preserves the safeguards provided in the federal constitution."

His Democratic opponent was shown by the record to have swung to extreme left wing radicalism, approving the Sinclairism whose threat already has depreciated San Francisco and California bond values by $50,000,000.

Moreover his Democratic opponent, Odlin shows, is one of the organizers of the so-called "Commonwealth Builders," created to advocate a system of farm relief by putting new producers on new farms; help for labor and increase of buying power by flooding the market with cheapened products; relief for taxpayers by creating new interest-bearing debt, and stabilizing currency by starting the printing presses to issuing state fiat currency. Mr. Odlin questions the Democracy of the nominee of that party since he accepted John C. Radio Stevenson's ciceronage.
