Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

BETTS FINANCIAL TRAINING BENEFITS CALIFORNIA BETTS training as a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT provided him the experience to break the rigid and short-sighted programs imposed by the previous administrations and to place California Taxpayers in a flexible and favorable position to sell bonds on a receptive national market at a great savings

COMPETITIVE BOND SALES - SAVES TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS by saving the taxpayers $168 MILLION DOLLARS in the four bond sales from August 1961 to January 1962 has proven his fight to restore competitive bidding in the sale of California bonds is the program necessary to finance Californias growth soundly and protect its citizens from unnecesshysary tax costs This competition WILL SAVE the TAXPAYER $100s of MILLION$ in the years to come

DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM EARNS TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS expanded our states investment program until it now produces 37 million dollars annually enough money to build 62 complete elementary schools per year and twice as much as the previous administration These are dollars from NON-TAX SOURCES that are put to work to benefit you and your family

IMPROVED BOND REDEMPTION PLAN SAVES STATE MONEY BETTS revised Californias contracts with fiscal agents across the nation in order to speed-up the redemption of California Bond Coupons This new process is saving California $50000 dollars annually

SAVINGS MADE ON EXPANSION OF STATE VAULT BETTS purchase of new equipment for the expanded vault was made at a savings of $85000 dollars while increasing storage efficiency

EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS WITHOUT INCREASING COSTS BETTS has modernized procedures within the TREASURERS OFFICE increasing efficiency while taking on an increased work load without hiring additional personnel Thus making still another saving for the CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

EDMUND G BROWN GOVERNOR

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

BETTS FINANCIAL TRAINING BENEFITS CALIFORNIA BETTS training as a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT provided him the experience to break the rigid and short-sighted programs imposed by the previous administrations and to place California Taxpayers in a flexible and favorable position to sell bonds on a receptive national market at a great savings

COMPETITIVE BOND SALES - SAVES TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS by saving the taxpayers $168 MILLION DOLLARS in the four bond sales from August 1961 to January 1962 has proven his fight to restore competitive bidding in the sale of California bonds is the program necessary to finance Californias growth soundly and protect its citizens from unnecesshysary tax costs This competition WILL SAVE the TAXPAYER $100s of MILLION$ in the years to come

DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM EARNS TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS expanded our states investment program until it now produces 37 million dollars annually enough money to build 62 complete elementary schools per year and twice as much as the previous administration These are dollars from NON-TAX SOURCES that are put to work to benefit you and your family

IMPROVED BOND REDEMPTION PLAN SAVES STATE MONEY BETTS revised Californias contracts with fiscal agents across the nation in order to speed-up the redemption of California Bond Coupons This new process is saving California $50000 dollars annually

SAVINGS MADE ON EXPANSION OF STATE VAULT BETTS purchase of new equipment for the expanded vault was made at a savings of $85000 dollars while increasing storage efficiency

EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS WITHOUT INCREASING COSTS BETTS has modernized procedures within the TREASURERS OFFICE increasing efficiency while taking on an increased work load without hiring additional personnel Thus making still another saving for the CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER

CALIFORNIA ECONOMY

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

Sincerely RALPH B POTTS

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

COMPETITIVE BOND SALES - SAVES TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS by saving the taxpayers $168 MILLION DOLLARS in the four bond sales from August 1961 to January 1962 has proven his fight to restore competitive bidding in the sale of California bonds is the program necessary to finance Californias growth soundly and protect its citizens from unnecesshysary tax costs This competition WILL SAVE the TAXPAYER $100s of MILLION$ in the years to come

DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM EARNS TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS expanded our states investment program until it now produces 37 million dollars annually enough money to build 62 complete elementary schools per year and twice as much as the previous administration These are dollars from NON-TAX SOURCES that are put to work to benefit you and your family

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

BETTS FINANCIAL TRAINING BENEFITS CALIFORNIA BETTS training as a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT provided him the experience to break the rigid and short-sighted programs imposed by the previous administrations and to place California Taxpayers in a flexible and favorable position to sell bonds on a receptive national market at a great savings

COMPETITIVE BOND SALES - SAVES TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS by saving the taxpayers $168 MILLION DOLLARS in the four bond sales from August 1961 to January 1962 has proven his fight to restore competitive bidding in the sale of California bonds is the program necessary to finance Californias growth soundly and protect its citizens from unnecesshysary tax costs This competition WILL SAVE the TAXPAYER $100s of MILLION$ in the years to come

DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM EARNS TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS expanded our states investment program until it now produces 37 million dollars annually enough money to build 62 complete elementary schools per year and twice as much as the previous administration These are dollars from NON-TAX SOURCES that are put to work to benefit you and your family

IMPROVED BOND REDEMPTION PLAN SAVES STATE MONEY BETTS revised Californias contracts with fiscal agents across the nation in order to speed-up the redemption of California Bond Coupons This new process is saving California $50000 dollars annually

SAVINGS MADE ON EXPANSION OF STATE VAULT BETTS purchase of new equipment for the expanded vault was made at a savings of $85000 dollars while increasing storage efficiency

EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS WITHOUT INCREASING COSTS BETTS has modernized procedures within the TREASURERS OFFICE increasing efficiency while taking on an increased work load without hiring additional personnel Thus making still another saving for the CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

BETTS FINANCIAL TRAINING BENEFITS CALIFORNIA BETTS training as a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT provided him the experience to break the rigid and short-sighted programs imposed by the previous administrations and to place California Taxpayers in a flexible and favorable position to sell bonds on a receptive national market at a great savings

COMPETITIVE BOND SALES - SAVES TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS by saving the taxpayers $168 MILLION DOLLARS in the four bond sales from August 1961 to January 1962 has proven his fight to restore competitive bidding in the sale of California bonds is the program necessary to finance Californias growth soundly and protect its citizens from unnecesshysary tax costs This competition WILL SAVE the TAXPAYER $100s of MILLION$ in the years to come

DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM EARNS TAXPAYERS MILLIONS BETTS expanded our states investment program until it now produces 37 million dollars annually enough money to build 62 complete elementary schools per year and twice as much as the previous administration These are dollars from NON-TAX SOURCES that are put to work to benefit you and your family

IMPROVED BOND REDEMPTION PLAN SAVES STATE MONEY BETTS revised Californias contracts with fiscal agents across the nation in order to speed-up the redemption of California Bond Coupons This new process is saving California $50000 dollars annually

SAVINGS MADE ON EXPANSION OF STATE VAULT BETTS purchase of new equipment for the expanded vault was made at a savings of $85000 dollars while increasing storage efficiency

EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS WITHOUT INCREASING COSTS BETTS has modernized procedures within the TREASURERS OFFICE increasing efficiency while taking on an increased work load without hiring additional personnel Thus making still another saving for the CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER

COMMITTEE TO IE-ELECT LT GOVERNOR GLENN ANDERSON~ 1163 Market St San Francllco bull 6026 Wlllhire BYd LOI Angelel ~ _

KEEP HIM ON THE JOB WORKING FORf As President of the Senate Lt Gov Anderson has won the respect of Democrats and Republicans alike in his fair and statesmanlike handling of this difficult job As a Regent of the University of California and a Mem ber of the Board of Trustees of California State Colleges Glenn has achieved national recog-

Governor Brown and U Governor Anderson constantly work together to develop sound longmiddotrange plans in such vital areas as California economy schools mental health care and highways

millions of dollars and has also demonstrated Glenns ability as a proven leader during this most successful Democratic administration

A construction worker points out progress on a freeway strucshyture in Los Angeles County to U Governor Anderson

WHY CALIFORNIA NEEDS ANDERSON bullbullbullA FEW OF THE REASONS CIVIL RIGHTS For more than a quarter of a century Glenn Anderson has consistently demonstrated his firm belief that human rights and the liberties of the individual must not be compromised whether attacked from the right or the left

CALIFORNIA ECONOMY

Only continuing economic growth and prosperity can proshyvide enough jobs for our growing population Total personal income for the last quarter of 1961 increased one-third more for California residents than for Americans as a whole Lt Governor Anderson urged the establishment of the office of economic development and supports its activity in stimushylating the expansion of California commerce and attracting new industry in order that California may continue to lead in economic as well as population growth

LABOR The working men and women of California have no better friend than Lt Governor Anderson He has urged specific legislation not only for the benefit of organized labor but has also supported broad programs for the good of all wage earners and the protection of all consumers

EDUCATION Lt Governor Anderson has long been a leader to assure our State the kind of public education from the childs first day in kindergarten which will give our youth the greatest opporshytunity for self advancement and prepare him to make his best contribution to his community As a Regent of the Unishyversity of California and a Member of the Board of Trustees of California State Colleges Anderson works hard to see that higher education does its share in helping California and our nation meet the international and domestic challenges of today and the future

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Only continuing economic growth and prosperity can proshyvide enough jobs for our growing population Total personal income for the last quarter of 1961 increased one-third more for California residents than for Americans as a whole Lt Governor Anderson urged the establishment of the office of economic development and supports its activity in stimushylating the expansion of California commerce and attracting new industry in order that California may continue to lead in economic as well as population growth

LABOR The working men and women of California have no better friend than Lt Governor Anderson He has urged specific legislation not only for the benefit of organized labor but has also supported broad programs for the good of all wage earners and the protection of all consumers

EDUCATION Lt Governor Anderson has long been a leader to assure our State the kind of public education from the childs first day in kindergarten which will give our youth the greatest opporshytunity for self advancement and prepare him to make his best contribution to his community As a Regent of the Unishyversity of California and a Member of the Board of Trustees of California State Colleges Anderson works hard to see that higher education does its share in helping California and our nation meet the international and domestic challenges of today and the future

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

WHY CALIFORNIA NEEDS ANDERSON bullbullbullA FEW OF THE REASONS CIVIL RIGHTS For more than a quarter of a century Glenn Anderson has consistently demonstrated his firm belief that human rights and the liberties of the individual must not be compromised whether attacked from the right or the left

CALIFORNIA ECONOMY

Only continuing economic growth and prosperity can proshyvide enough jobs for our growing population Total personal income for the last quarter of 1961 increased one-third more for California residents than for Americans as a whole Lt Governor Anderson urged the establishment of the office of economic development and supports its activity in stimushylating the expansion of California commerce and attracting new industry in order that California may continue to lead in economic as well as population growth

LABOR The working men and women of California have no better friend than Lt Governor Anderson He has urged specific legislation not only for the benefit of organized labor but has also supported broad programs for the good of all wage earners and the protection of all consumers

EDUCATION Lt Governor Anderson has long been a leader to assure our State the kind of public education from the childs first day in kindergarten which will give our youth the greatest opporshytunity for self advancement and prepare him to make his best contribution to his community As a Regent of the Unishyversity of California and a Member of the Board of Trustees of California State Colleges Anderson works hard to see that higher education does its share in helping California and our nation meet the international and domestic challenges of today and the future

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Americans Agree bull bull bull bull bull bull Delend YOURFreedom California Congress of Parents and Teachers (PTA) Procedures as set up in Proposition 24 would infringe on civil liberties as guaranteed by the Bill of Rights

California State Chamber of Commerce While the State Chamber of Commerce opposes comshymunism in all its manifestations and supports a vigorous effort by all lawful means to stamp out Communist infilshytration it believes that enactment of this ill-conceived measure would in the long run only defeat its own purpose

California Labor Federation (AFL-CIO) Propshyosition 24 replaces present wholly adequate constitushytional protections against subversion with a totally irreshysponsible new article containing vague uncertain and ambiguous terms and procedures that would gravely jeopardize cherished American freedoms

Los Angeles Times The odious feature of Section 3 lies in the privileged irresponsibility of the whole array of denouncers The accused has no recourse against them even though an accusation of communism can be a deadly charge It can ruin the accused even though it is unproved Section 3 not only confers new and incredibly dangerous authority on grand juries but gives the same triple power of accusation conviction ond in effect sentencing to certain individual state officers and to a host of federal officials and agencies

BISHOP JAMES A PIKE Proposition 24 would hand over to the extremists in this state the legal weapons to destroy our precious American heritage of constitutional liberty

STATE SENATOR HUGH BURNS Chairman of the Senate Fact Finding Committee on UnshyAmerican Activities We have made no recomshymendations (for new anti-subversive laws) because our studies show that federal laws enforced by federal officers are coping with the problem

YES IT COULD HAPPEN HERE False witnesses could brand individuals and organizations subversive without even a trial-cause loss of employment affect property rights impair citizenship and jeopardize security of person Charges could be brought in secret in a far county or even in a remote state The action could be completed before the accused even knew that it had been instituted Under Proposhysition 24 an accusation of subversion made by any of a host of federal state or local bodies -operating without judicial safeguards or the restraints of constitutional due process-could automatically bring down upon the innocent devastating consequences

PENALTIES UNDER PROPOSITION 24 could include loss of State and local tax exemptions all opportunity for public employment the right to hold public office the use of public buildings Proposition 24 could wreck careers businesses reputations and even the lives of private patrishyotic citizens

FOR EXAMPLE PROPOSITION 24 WOULD VEST GRAND JURIES WITH ASTOUNDING POWERS Grand juries are not trial juries Their function is to present complaints Grand juries operate behind closed doors without judge or defense counselor the opportunity to confront witnesses Yet under Proposition 24 a grand jury could try convict and subject its victims to automatic sentence

Proposition 24 would destroy the very conshystitutional guarantees which are our strongshyest bulwark against Communism

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

EDMUND G BROWN GOVERNOR

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

Sincerely RALPH B POTTS

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

EDMUND G BROWN GOVERNOR

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Federation of Labor AFL-CIO

Delegates Unanimously Said (Regular Meeting Sept 17 1962)

The California Federation of Labor AFL-CIO through its publication The Sacramento StoryshyLabor and the Legislature reported that during the 1961 session of the Legislature conservashytive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights the safety the health and the security of all California working men and women

The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies In the October 1962 issue of the American Federationist the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas AFL-CIO policy historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation It has supported this position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums of money

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

DEMOCRAT FOR lor SECRETARY OF STATE A 964Market st SF SECRETARY OF STATE

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Dear California Voter

The Secretary of State is the chief election officer of California

The incumbent Secretary of State in the 20 years he has held this office has demonstrated a shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast in our elections In 1960 we couldnt find out if Nixon or Kennedy won in California In the June primary of this year many contests were not officially decided for more than a month

It is time for a change It is time to bring California up to date in this vital office

I ask for your vote and I pledge that if I am elected I will use every possible means to make all Californians proud of the office of Secretary of State

Sincerely

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

SAC R A MEN T 0 C A L I FOR N I A

Dear Fellow State Employee

I am proud of the Civil Service System in California as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states For the past twenty-five years it has been responsible in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens of California have received from their state government

For almost two decades I have been a government employee myself During my two terms as District Attorney in San Francisco my two terms as Attorney General of California and my term as Governor I have always had a tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has been done by our dedicated civil servants As evidence of this I cite the large number of appointments in my administration which have come out of civil service ranks Compare that record to my opponents statements that we must clean the mess out of Sacramento

Inequitable salary situations must continue to be analyzed and corrected This will be given top priority next year as it was given this year I pledge to continue this program in the future I support your right to be paid prevailing wages and your absolute right to receive a fair return for your dedicated service

Your right to engage in political activity on your own including your right to resist any threat of management reprisal and your right to be heard and consulted on the areas that vitally affect your interest have also been jealously guarded by this administration Your vote is your most important heritage in this great democracy of ours Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your choice I believe that my record warrants your support

Sincerely

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

Sincerely RALPH B POTTS

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

THIS IS THE ~h~ POLITICAL MIND

The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided for us by the opposition On February 12 13 and 14 the California Democratic Council met in Fresno in statewide convention Some 2300 CDC delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following resolutions

1 Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and governshyments alike

2 Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve world disarmament fail even if the U S S R does not disarm

3 Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests

4 Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities

5 Abolish all loyalty oaths--state and federal

6 Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United States Supreme Court

7 Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thUS making topshysecret testimony available to public et al)

8 Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U S mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials

9 Extend all-out Federal aid to education including funds for teachers salaries

10 Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public employees firemen police officers etc

11 Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959

12 Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes

13 Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work

14 Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction to secure Ultimate justice (vindication)

15 Repeal the relatives responsibility law requiring children to contribute to support of aged

16 Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military assistance abroad

17 Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against police methods

REMEMBER All California Democrat candidates are committed to these stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL

WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953 or thereabouts by a small group of ambitious politicians including State Senator George Miller Alan Cranston (now state controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator) a new era began in state politics

The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine And its general success in political action has accelerated its growth and power Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500) which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party its p-hilosop-hy and its candidates but also to a free and independent Democratic PartY~

Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down Genshyerally members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals Democrats with less extreme views regard them as ultra liberals Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics

The point is the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere earnest citizens who seek the best for themselves and their fellows But the goals of such an organization the inevitable progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific rather than general

Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals But ~ projection into action of such doctrines not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications Here you have a powerful organization already prepared to select elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate into law It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and power in so short a time nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the Democratic rank and file

The imRortance lies in the fact that the council is organized is directed with professional skill has its ev-e on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the p-artys candidate selections and broad commitments Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up The CDC may not be here to stay but it is here and will be around for some time to come The best way to keep such a group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities give close scrutiny to the issues it espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses

There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council but a close estimate might be 35000 And taking the states Democratic registration into consideration it would appear that the CDC membership- rep-resents about 1 of the p-arty strength which goes to show how badly disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power The rise of the CDC also emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California For 50 years the GOP managed by political integrity agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a majority of the states voters IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AIID ENTHUSIASM that enabled the better organized Democrats to seat a governor grab control of the State Legislature and take over all but one of the states constitutional offices

Now possibly opportunity again knocks on the Republican door All that is needed is manshypower campaign financing good candidates and a will to win

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

any individual to public office is the intershyest of every citizen in good government

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Brown For Governor

THIS NEWSPAPER recommends the re-election of Governor Edmund G Pat Brown We do

so in glad obedience to a long and admirable Amershyican tradition It is the tradition that says a public official who does a good job is entitled to a second term

We feel Governor Brown has done such a job a solid and impressive job of major things accomshyplished for his native California

Because this is so a sense of fair play compels us to recommend Governor Brown to our readers even though we have the highest regard and reshyspect for his Republican opponent Richard M Nixon

This is not the place to review the full record of Mr Brown Instead let us cite three Brown acshycomplishments of such paramount importance that they standing alone entitle him to a second term

Mr Brown inherited a state debt of $60 milshylionFar worse this debt would grow to aquarter of a billion dollars within a singleyear unless the then new Governor acted decisively Mr Brown did act not only decisively but courageously He pushed through the Legislature a combined program of new taxes and economies that wiped out the debt and balanced the budget that very year

Thus he turned the threat of fiscal chaos into a regime of fiscal responsibility and has mainshytained that responsibility to this day Every state budget has been balanced and minor tax cuts made where possible

With the States finances in order the Govershynor turned all his energies to the $175 billion Feather River Project a deadlocked issue that had kept California in bitter turmoil for more than a decade With logic with persuasion and with plain political brawn he pushed it through the Legislashyture and onto the ballot Then he personally led the campaign that resulted in the publics apshyproval of the water bonds at the polls

Today work is actually underway on the worlds greatest water project assuring California of the vast water supply so indispensable to the States destiny

~IOO

That behind him Mr Brown undertook the task of putting Californias sprawling house of higher education in order The University of Calishyfornia and the State College System were undershytaking forced draft expansion to absorb the flood tide of new students At the same time they were engaged in costly rivalries and duplications that threatened to put a staggering load on taxpayers

Governor Browns solution was the Master Plan of Higher Education a blueprint that assigned specific roles and duties to the many institutions of higher learning Today the forced draft expanshysion still goes on of hard necessity But it is clean orderly expansion This achievement of the Brown administration though less spectacular than the other two may well come to be regarded in future years as his greatest

The Democratic Mr Brown approached and achieved these tasks in the bipartisan tradition made famous by Hiram Johnson and Earl Warren He sought out and freely acknowledged the help of many Republican leaders of like spirit

We submit that California is booming today and its people are moving forward confidently in major part because the Brown administration carshyried out these three paramount tasks while proshyviding honest government

Our high regard for Richard Nixon his opshyponent is surely well known In other years we supported Mr Nixon for United States Senator for Vice President and for President Our admiration for his abilities in national and foreign affairs is undiminished

But we also supported Mr Brown when he was elected Governor in 1958 We told our readers he would be the good Governor he has proved to be

In the absence of a compelling reason we will not turn away from a Governor who has fulfilled his covenant with the people The mere fact that the able Mr Nixon wants the job is not a comshypelling season

Governor Brown has earned re-election

Your ballot was never more important than it will be on November 6 It is your only effective way of having your say on the kind of governshyyou want and on the kind of policies you think it should follow

Just as it is important that you vote it is also vital that you vote the full ballot Your failure to vote on any single office can be just as costly in that particular contest as failing to vote at all Be sure you vote on November 6 and when you vote vote a full ballot

We offer you our recommendations in these pages in the hope that in reaching your decisions you will give them your earnest considerashytion They have been carefully drawn to represent the best interests of the most people

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead

A Message to You bull bull

from

Your Governor More important than the election of

any individual to public office is the intershyest of every citizen in good government

middot We all are familiar with the quotashytation Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Liberty It is as true today as when those words were spoken

middot I feel that our State Government for the past three and one-half years has assumed its responsibility to the peapie with integrity vision and vigor

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

Me Harold Brown Attorney at Law 605 Market Street San Francisco California

Dear Harold It was nice to hear from you again Certainly you may use my American Bar Association prize essay The Living Proxy I should also like to say this and you may quote me if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about getting out that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus when we organized in the State of California Many people will remember the nonpartisan young mens organization that came out in the depression 30s and cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had created With our motto win lose or draw we cut no corners Up and down the Pacific Coast we sucshyceeded in putting clean honest and imaginative young men into public office Following the principles of the old Roman Cincinnatus these men asked for no emoluments except the right to serve their people In looking back now I find it a great satisfaction to find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincinshynatus have come many Judges including his Honor Fred Hamley on the Circuit Court of Appeals Jusshytices of the Supreme Court of your state and Judges in many counties of the Superior Court in my State of Washington We also were fortunate in having two governors who got their start in politics in Cinshycinnatus Arthur Langlie a Republican of the State of Washington and Edmund G Pat Brown a Democrat of the State of California I know that Pat Brown as a true Cincinnatus is honest trustworthy and a good public servant I folshylowed him through his career as District Attorney of San Francisco County and I know something of the fine record he made in the Attorney Generals office of your State Even though I am a Republican I recommend him a Democrat for Governor of the great State of California Also having followed Mr Nixons camshypaigns I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown emerges from the November election as re-elected Governor of California I know that the people can put their trust in Pat as we young men of the New Order of Cincinnatus did way back in the 30s With best regards

The Living Proxy By RALPH BUSHNELL POTTS

NOTE The following eSJay under the title of The Respomibility of the Citizen as a Voter was the prize winning entry in a contest conshyducted in 1945 by the Committee on American Citizenship of the American Bar Association

The blood of free men stains my ballot sheet Whatever others may do I shall not carelessshyly make my mark I vote not because I can but because I must Those that died for this my voice in government had a right to expect th~t

I would prepare with every faculty to use It wisely honestly and courageously They did not die that fools blind partisans or the reckshyless might make a game of free elections

Only my secret hearts knows whether I justify the definition of voter as they wrote it in the reddening sand If I love my country as they did I question my qualifications again and agalll

I carefully study the issues and candidates to

determine what is best not for me or my mishynority but for my country

I will not be confused or deceived by propashyganda slogans or histrionics I shield my eyes to the glitter of personalities purge my mind of passion and prejudice and search diligently for the hidden truth I must be free of all inshyfluences save that of conscience and justice

I garden for dreams but with a realistic spade My test is not of trend or popularity but of principle and liberty

I vote as if my ballot alone decided the conshytest I may lose my preference but I will not throwaway my sacred vote For within the booth I hold in my humble hand the living proxy of all my countrys honored dead
