Toledo AFL Offers To Lick Taft At Polls
Toledo (LPA)—Ohio's Republican presidential hopeful, Robert A. Taft, heads for a California speaking tour next week. As a fitting farewell, the Toledo Central Labor Union bought an ad in the daily Toledo Times, promising Ohio's native son "the worst defeat any candidate ever had." No immediate action was taken by the U.S. district attorney in the area, though the ad was paid for in defiance of the Taft-Hartley law prohibition of union political expenditures.
