seventy-two.
You may want to ignore facts
like these. You have the power to
ignore them. If the fascist ele-
ments in this country, the sleeping
dogs of isolationism, are able to
throttle the war or negotiate a
peace, you won’t be able to ignore
the results. Whil<^ wo go on fight-
ing, let us thank God for Admiral
Nimitz of Gillespie County German
blood and for General Eisenhower.
They came from tyranny-hating
German stock, the descendants of
which are still hating and fighting
tyranny.
If Doctor Goebbels and associate
satellites of Hitler were in Texas
today with power to vote, can you
doubt what candidate they would
vote for? The proverbial snowball
would have a better chance in hell
than Jimmy Allred would have

VOTING ON WAR
Men and women of Texas, you are
voting on your war. There is not
any other issue. When a man
seeks election to help lead our
country in this war, I ask you in
the name of all that is fair and just
if it is persecution to consider his
attitude and his record toward our
war? Mr. O’Daniel has never dis-
cussed it. As I see it, there can1 be
but three reasons why.
(1)
cuss a subject about
knows nothing.
(2) A man does not discuss
subject about which he wants to
hide certain facts.
(3) A politician does not discuss
a subject with which voters are in
sympathy if he himself is out of
sympathy with it. It has been
proved over and over that O’Daniel
■is an isolationist. Masses of Tex-
ans have refused to take account
of this fact. Last November Mr.
O’Daniel’s friend Wheeler and other
isolationist senators were going up
and down this country denouncing
Roosevelt and all other men who
were striving to prepare for the in-
evitable war as “war mongers.”
Every voter has the right to stick
his head in the sand if he wants to,
but in the -end the human ostriches
pay along with others.
Chaps, this is the real thing. If
leadership were left to the O’Daniel
breed, when would we get over the
hump?
A man does not usually dis-
which he
By J. FRANK DOBIE
In June, 1942, Senator W. Lee
O’Daniel said: “We are over
hump.” He said in effect that we
are so near the end of the war that
fit is not worth discussing or any
longer considering.
In July, 1942, he said that in his
opinion the war might last two or
three years. He has never said “I
(don’t know.” He never seems to
sincerely care. He says he wants
to keep the people cheerful. I tell
you that a person can be serious,
he can be sensible, he can even face-
tfacts, and also be cheerful.
British ace, Paddy Finecune,
cheerful the other day when with
his plane plunging into the sea he
sent his last earthly message,
“Chaps, this is the real thing.”
Yes, this is the real thing,
hy day the German armies
nearer their stranglehold on
Caucasus oil fields. When they get
it, do you think that the United
States can either manufacture or
transport to Russia enough octane
gas to keep the Russian air fleets
flying? Or enough gas and oil to
keep Russia’s mechanized armies
moving?
Today the United States oil re-
fineries are, all taken together,
manufacturing barely enough high
octane gas to supply what a thou-
sand bombers making round trips
daily from Britain to the interior
of Germany would require. These
refineries also have to furnish oc-
tane gas to all the air forces in
Australia, at Hawaiian bases, at
Dutch Harbor, wherever our air
forces operate in the vast Pacific.
They also have to furnish octane
gas for the transport lines and
training fields that now fly thou-
sands of planes in this country.
MATERIALS SCARCE
Additional refineries for making
more and more octane gas require
the same kind of material that fac-
tories for making synthetic rubber'
require, and these materials are
very scarce.
How could we have been “over
the hump” just a month ago? What
evidence is there now that the end
of the war is two or three years
off? “Chaps, this is the real thing.”
Meanwhile the Japanese build up
vast forces to attack Russia on her
extreme eastern flank. Senator
Burton K. Wheeler, Mr. W. Lee
O’Daniel’s isolationist friend, the
first senator to wring his hand
•when O’Daniel entered the Senate
a year ago, asks:
Russia declare war on Japan? Why
doesn’t Russia allow American
bombers to bomb Japan from
Vladivostok?” My God, what more
could be asked of the Russian peo-
ple as fighters? The fact glares
out that the United States could
.not at present maintain a great
force of bombers and ground crews
at far away Vladivostok.
Meantime Rommel’s German arm-
ies overlook Alexandria, the Nile,
and the Suez CanaL receiving rein-
forcements and building up power
to strike for the only oil fields our
Allies hold in the Middle East. In-
dia, on the verge of chaos, squats
barelegged and empty-handed be-
fore armored Japan. Like O’Daniel,
India’s Gandhi can paint rosy pic-
tures. A hundred million followers
know that he is a good man.
SEEM FAR AWAY
To many people in this country,
Java, with cinnamon trees now fer-
tilized by the blood of Texas artil-
lerymen, the Carribeans, Australia,
Hawaii, Russia, the Nile, Calcutta,
sea lanes and air lanes between
■South America and Africa, the ice-
bergs of Greenland, the rice fields
of China, the peat bogs of Ireland,
the fogs over the Aleutian Islands,
all seem as far away as the bat-
tlegrounds on which the crusaders
of the Middle Ages fought their
fantastic battles. But global war
does not consist of chasing straw
communists through prickly pear
flats and labor racketeers across
cotton patches in Texas.
According to the prophet of
cheerfulness, we were “over the
hump” a few weeks ago, and yet
every evening and every morning
we read in the newspapers and hear
over the radio how German sub-
marines have sunk addiitonal ships
an the Atlantic. Today America
has less shipping tonnage than she
had on Dec. 7, 1941.
We can’t go anywhere or send
anything to eat or to fight with
without ships. We can’t build
ships for either air or water with-
out steel. Steel has already be-
come so scarce that a great ship-
building yard in Louisiana was or-
dered abandoned only a few days
ago. Does this look like we are
"over the .hump?”
And w^iy is there such a shortage
in steel? Well, after President
Roosevelt advocated expansion of
steel production, “there was or-
ganized opposition by the big steel
firms against any new blast fur-

garet Knight, Ann Knight,

naces or rolling mills that might
compete with them after the war.”
NEVER CAPITAL
While he is talking about the
crimes of labor, why does Senator
O’Daniel never touch on the crimes
of capital? The steel industry of
America was able to pay $29,000,000
more in dividends in 1941 than it
paid in 1940, though that was also
a fat year. It seems to be human
for nearly everybody around a pie
to want a piece of it when it is cut.
Workers who asked a dollar a day
raise as their part of this 29 mil-
lion dollar extra slice of steel pie
cannot be disposed of as the pup-
pets of “labor racketeers.”
Listen. There are two sides to
this labor-capital business. Mr.
O’Daniel is fooling a lot of hard-
working folks into imagining that
there is some chemical difference
between organized sweat and unor-
ganized sweat. When you get
down to bed rock, there is not any
difference. The cotto n-picker,
never organized, is a. lot closer to a
union carpenter than he is to the
J. M. West interests of Houston,
worth many millions of dollars, that
bought and operated two newspa-
pers for the purpose of putting
Roosevelt down and putting O’Dan-
iel up.
The Rooseveit-hating corpora-
tions that are putting up $1,500 a
day for O’Daniel to talk over the
various radio networks of this state
don’t want but one side of the labor-
subject mentioned.
Not long after he went to Wash-
ington, Mr. O’Daniel came back
with a big story about how he was
going to take the Schoch process of
making butadiene out of Texas gas /
and promote the manufacturing of
synthetic rubber in Texas. I guess
you know that the big oil com- I
panies now have a corner on the <
making of synthetic rubber. Their
gloved hand began to show just
a little while after O’Daniel boasted
of what he was going to do. He
hasn’t squeaked about synthetic
rubber since. He’s fighting the
communists.
SILENT ON RUBBER
He does not want to taik about
rubber now any more than he wants
to talk about war. He does not
want to talk about the national
pipeline he once boasted of block-
ing, either.
Before this war is over there will
be appeasement councils and Fas-
cist leaders will work more boldly.
The old gang that O’Daniel had
thrown in with eyen before he got
to Washington is well organized
and is waiting to throw monkey
wrenches. Nobody who votes for
Jimmie Allred can doubt that he
will stand hitched. He will also
“Why doesn’t | pUn uke a little Spanish mule
stretched out down to his belly.
Men and women of Texas, you
are not voting on a man. You are
voting on a war that we can lose-—-
a war that, whether we win cr lose
will certainly cost enough blood to
redden the waters of every river
in Texas between the Red and the
Rio Grande.
Not’ all wealth is greedy, and not
all the wealth of Texas is voting
for O’Daniel, but a vast majority
of Texas millionaires, especially oil
millionaires, are. They and various
other citizens peculiarly interested,
especially corporation lawyers, are
voting for O’Daniel because they
are fighting Roosevelt. They are
not fighting the Avar at all. Some
of them had rather make a nego-
tiated peace with Hitler than see
an American victory that would
strengthen Roosevelt’s power. Like
Hitler, they hope Russia will lose.
Mr. O’Daniel has talked a great
deal against communists. How
many communists in Texas do you
know? In the last presidential
election they polled exactly 266
votes. I am a lot more scared of
the fascists than I am of the com-
munists. In the stockyards they
have a goat, known as the Judas
goat, that leads flocks of sheep to
their destruction and then returns
for more flocks. He does not quite
understand what he is doing,
he did, he Avould realize that he is
a fascist.
FASCISTS FOR O’DANIEL
I do not know how many fascists
there are in Texas. Most of them
have never looked deep enough into
their natures to know that they are
fascists. Mr. O’Daniel has never
recognized their existence. Every
fascist in Texas, confessed or un-
confessed, will vote for O’Daniel in
the coming election. Of course,
many other people will vote for him
also. The fascists vote with their
eyes open.
(Every Nazi bundist in Texas will
vot for him too. Witness the
town . of Taylor in Williamson
County, Dan Moody’s old home,
which until the present election
he always carried. The only
bundist newspaper in Texas that
the government has suppressed was
