FRIDAY, MAT 28, IMS Jennings To SeekSeatln Lower House Maricopa Attorney Candidate For One Of Representatives In announcing his candidacy for Congressman on the Democratic ticket. Rent L. Jennings, of Phoenix, stated: "I wfll be a candidate for the office of Representative in Congress in the Democratic Primary September 1942. My complete platform will be announced later. I invite your suggestions now as to what you want in that platform, and your comments and criticisms on the ideas set forth in this announcement.

At this moment America is exerting a supreme effort to all her people, utilize all her resources, and cooperate with all her allies, for offensive action to defeat the Axis Powers. Peace time campaign platforms, setting forth planks which appeal especially to designated classes of people, are out of order. Every American to- no matter what his occupa- THE CASA GRANDE DISPATCH social or political affiliation, day. tion, wants most of all to win this war. Profits as usual must be rejected.

The stranglehold of production and patent monopolies must be broken. War necessitates 24 hours a day. seven days a week production, full use of ships and railroads for war transportation, full use 61 man and woman power, witii equal pay for equal work. No quibbling over income must be allowed to interfere with war production. Most Americans have never seen a hundred dollar and never will, and heartily approve an income limit considerably below a year.

Most Americans, in fact, are thinking: "Profits be damned! America must produce to win!" These sentiments ought to be echoed in Congress.

The President and bis administration are right in rejecting the recent smear pnmpatgf against labor and tracing its origin to the propaganda bureaus of Berlin. Any renewal of such a campaign to repeal progressive labor and social legislation should be vigorously opposed as destructive of Che democratic way of life and disruptive to both production and morale. There must be no anti-labor legislation and no pick handle government in Am- icrica. Agricultural production in Arizona must be increased, industrial production speeded, and new industries encouraged by maximum development of the Colorado River, combining irrigation with power and establishing lower power rates through cooperative distribution.

A system'of rapid transportation by highway and rail must.be developed in Arizona through the aid of the Federal Government, thus speeding military movements and transportation of war materials in this state of ever-increasing military importance. Farmers must be insured cost of production. OH Age Pensiona A minimum federal pension of at least $60.00 must be guaranteed to all persons over 60. Youth, upon whom the old depend, must be free for war work. When thousands of people still receive incomes over $25,000 a year, there is no excuse for not permitting the aged to spend their last days in security.

A gross Income tax on incomes over (3000 will finance the plan, releasing for military service thousands of young men now kept at home for no other reason than the fact that they have aged dependents to support.

I am no new convert to democracy. My i stand against fascism of all native and foreign, has long been a matter of'public record. I invite inspection of my public record as evidence of my faith in democracy and the sanctity of my campaign pledges." Democracy At Home The surest way of establishing or restoring democracy hi other part of the world is to maintain it it home.

Through cooperative enterprise, labor and farm organizations, and progressive laws encouraging the development of all democratic activity, -democracy expands from the political field into the economic, and continues to be continuous, steady progress toward a living, vital force. Wjthout this economic democracy, political democracy cannot long survive." STUDENT SONG WRITER "Two years ago when I apnoun- ced my candidacy for State iTreas- urer," said Mr. Hunt, "I made only one promise to the voters of Arizona. JThat promise was that I would always strive to dp my very best to retain the votes of confidence they give me.
