HERE'S YOUR "CHOICE" IN 1960:
1. REPUBLICAN PARTY CANDIDATES
(a) Nixon - a "turncoat" who knows the dangers of Communism because of his previous experience on the House Committee on Un-American Activities but who now, because of his all-consuming ambition to be President has "sold his heritage for a mess of pottage." Nixon, the former Conservative, has become the Chief Appeaser of Atheistic Communism.
(b) Rockefeller - is even more left-wing and Socialist-Internationist than Nixon . . . Rockefeller is one of the richest men in America and he CAN BUY THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION JUST AS HE BUYS ANYTHING ELSE HE WANTS!
2. DEMOCRAT PARTY CANDIDATES
(a) Lyndon Johnson - who attempts to pose as a Conservative, but who VOTES Liberal-Socialist.
(b) John Kennedy - same as above plus very "soft on Communism."
(c) Adlai Stevenson - an egghead Liberal, already twice repudiated by the voters.
(d) Hubert Humphrey - the extremely dangerous Socialist radical who is said to be Walter Reuther's choice for President
(e) Stuart Symington - (Truman protege) with a 100% pro-leftwing (A.D.A.) voting record.
