Vol. 18,.No. 78.l The County Seat es: NEVADA CITY, C ALIFORNIA The Gold Center ANTE __MONDAY, OCTOBER 2, 194 MAINE The Gallup poll recently estimated the Republican presidential vote in Maine at 53 per cent. In the state elections Iast week the GOP candidate for governor got 70%, one congressman got 69%; a second, 68%, a third, 78%. Roosevelt, however, has proven himself stronger in Maine than the New Deal candidates for governor and congressman. Two years ago, for example, the Democratic candidate for governor lost the state by 70,000, whereas Roosevelt lost it by only 7,000. This year the New Deal candidate for governor lost by 76,000, the worst licking in twenty years. In 1940 the Republican congressman won by 50 %; this year they averaged 12%. No Democratic president has ever ‘won in November when the Maine vote in September was so heavily Republican. This trend is evident everywhere, and as préviously pointed out, such New Deal stalwarts as’ Pepper in Florida and Hill in Alabama were from 5 to 7% weaker this year than when they were first elected. In 13 special elections of congressmen since 1942, the anti New Deal trend has been pronounced in 9. In 4 congressional districts the New “Deal recovered slightly. These trends. have been. charted for évery state in the Union. In all but one the trend’ since 1936 has been uniformly against. the New Deal. The single exception—believe it or not—ig Vermont! Another item of interest about the Maine vote is that 10,000 soldiers voted out of 33,0000 soldiers ballots mailed out. According to Senator Brewster, in two communities the soldiers voted more heavily Republican than their home folks did. If this is a true index, the Gallup and Fortune polls are apt to underestimate th@Republican vote, especially with reference to soldiers overseas who are not permitted to be polled. However; in justice to the Gallup poll, it made a remarkably accurate forecast of the Maine vote last week for governor and congregsman. It is a fact, however, that it wag far off the beam in the 1942 elettions. In strong labor centers in Maine, the CLO-PAIC endorsed candidates for congress took a bad beating, indicating that many workingmen are fed’ up with the Hillman leadership. Will the revolt against Hillman elect. Dewey? ; Mr. Hannigan denies that Roosevelt told him at the Chicago convention: to-“‘clear ‘ everything through Sidney.” The words may be unimportant. The fact is that Justice ByTnes for vice president had to te cleared through Sidney and didn’t clear. Truman, the “‘Missouri com‘Promise’ did clear throu Sidney, although Wallace was his first love. On the New Deal side of the argument, the fact remains that thousands of people vote only when Roosevelt is on the ticket. This has been true since 1934. Roosevelt has alWays been stronger than the New Deal state’ and congressional candidates. Federal employees don’t turn out their full vote except when Roosevelt is on ‘the ticket. There are over 3,000,000 of them—more than all state and municipal emDloyees, including school teachers, firemen and policemen. According to the polls, Dewey and Bricker are behind at this time. But the Republican trend is etill moving up. And with the war going well, the question uppermost in the mindg of the people will be which administration is more likely to provide Jobs or doles in post war America. Today the elections looks very close. stitutional union if! jected mous. izations. latter right. Postwar which limited w sien rms RIGHT TO WORK . MEASURE SHOULD NOT BE NEEDED Union labor bosses and dictators have been hurriedly and desperately marshalling arguments against the voters approval of Proposition No. 12, the Right of Employment ConAmendment which will appear on the November general election ballot in California. But the worst thing that can be said against Proposition No. 12 does not appear among the arguments of its opponents. So we offer it graauitously -herewith: Proposition No. 12 should not have been necessary. It would not have been necessary with tration of existing laws, including the Wagner Act. The latter federal Statute has a section ports to guarantee to any worker representation by the “union of his choice”’—and, by implication, by no that is his preference. This section has been outrageously flouted and denied effect by the National Labor Relations Board, aided War Labor Board. have been herded into unions like dumb beasts, and have been forced to pay exorbitant Membership fees and dues and assessments with no voice in what was done money. The slightest indication of rebellion or even protest often has resulted in broken bones and loss of employment. i Proposition No. 12 aims no blow at any legitimate objective of union labor and could not sincerely be ob# by any honest union labor leader. It hits at racketeering, political regimentation, forces and compulsion in labor relations. (Californians cannot undertake to cure the Wagner Act and -its administration, but the Golden State can point the way toward fair labor practices and the elimination of big city union bosg rule of farmers, workers and business'men. The vote for Proposition No. 12 among members of the armed forces, to whom it guarantees a fair chance at ment, probably will be nearly unanifair adminiswith employThe right to work is a moral, not a political issue; it has nothing to do with party politics or candidacies. Proposition No. 12 on the November ballot will add to the Bill of Rights of the California State Constitution a guarentee of the individual’s right to seek, ‘obtain and hold employment regardless of whether or not he bélongs to a union labor organization. Every year many thousands o0 California high school and college graduates enter the ranks of workers. Proposition No. 12 on the November ballot guarantees _them-—the right to choose their j find them, and to hold th that right being interfered with by their joining or not joining a labor union or paying initiation fees and dues to a labor leader for the privilege or earning a living. Americans want guaranteed the right to work. Work for and Votes “yes’-on Prop: osition No. 12.
