add to cart   close window

Josiah W. Gitt, liberal editor of the journals "Gazette and Daily," of New York, Pennsylvania, has better than an even chance of becoming a member of the Seventy-ninth U.S. Congress. If he does, he will get into the thick of two battles: the battle for a peace that will be more than a breathing spell before the next war, and the battle to expand the domestic economy to meet the demands of the post-war world. All his adult life, Gitt has been fighting for causes and compromising with no one. His candidacy for Congress will show whether the people of his community are interested in the common welfare or merely in their own selfish aims. He is willing to be the guinea pig in an effort to find out what they really want.
