If Reading Wins. Look Out--
THE PEOPLE OF OKLAHOMA elected the wrong kind of governor last time. When the Oil Workers Union of the CIO called a strike to protest the firing of a dozen union members, Wall Street told the governor to send in the troops, and he did so. Then Wall Street told the judges to find the union leaders guilty of contempt of court, and the judges obeyed their master's voice. Detroit voters will remember that Reading would be a Wall Street mayor. Therefore vote for O'Brien for mayor, and DOLL FRANKENSTEEN, REUTHER, SUGAR and THOMAS for Councilman!
