Abstract

A Communication
Lens, Sidney | August 4, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

Madison Avenue propagandists have labored adroitly to implant the notion that people must "vote for a man who has a chance," rather than a man who stands solidly for an anti-war program. Their efforts have obviously not been in vain because more and more the liberal world relapses to the choice of a tweedledee as against a tweedledum, and the act of dissent at the ballot box becomes an almost subversive notion. It ought to be the role of liberals to exert pressure on public officials and political candidates, and never permit themselves to be taken for granted.
