Two candidates, Senator Claude Pep

issues which have divided the Democrats

wing Democrat, is stumping for repeal of
the Taft-Hartlcy Act, increased old age
pensions, compulsory health Insurance,
and further welfare measures despite an
already unbalanced budget. Smathers

saying so, all over the state. The CIO
