September 24, 1937 Bars Sirens Under the errs PTT Political "= Line-Up Seen ‘People Must Know Who’s Progressive,’ Says LaFollette OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 23. — “By next year in many states and by 4940 in the nation, the old guard of both parties will be on one side and the progressives on the other,” declared Governor Phillip La Fol- Jette of Wisconsin in an address to Omaha Central Labor Union. Said La Follette: “There must be a political realignment that wall give the American people a real choice between progressive and re- actionary government.” ia Follette vigorously attacked the situation that “enables politi- cians to be liberals before election and reactionary afterwards,” and declared: “Tt is not important that these politicians betrayed the leadership upon which they rode into office. What is important is that they be- ¢rayed the people who elected them. «“Mhe old political alignment plays directly into the hands of reaction and serves only the interests of self-seeking politicians. The honest eitizen, whether progressive or con- servative, demands an honest align- ment that will have real meaning in the America of today. The party: hacks can no longer prevent the breaking up of the old parties.” Employees Had Already Signed Smart work by Tom Bradley, sec- retary, BC Coast Council, Lumber and Sawmill Workers, last Wriday, Bloodhounds Machine Guns Convicts Reformed Honor System of the Soviet Union SAE ee ENE THE FIRST Se ee a ee - SOVIET UNION 'WA Member Tells Council | How He Searched For Work Administering a rebuke to the flippant remark passed by Mayor G.
