GOP leader hits Hillman, Browder
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania (UP) –
James M. Tucker, assistant Republican national chairman, yesterday accused Sidney Hillman and Earl Browder of planning “the total annihilation of all and everything American.”
Mr. Tucker told a Young Republican meeting:
In this election, we have witnessed the dying pains of a great political party when Mr. Roosevelt gave the word to “clear everything through Sidney.”
Mr. Tucker said:
There is no question now that Hillman and Browder and their Communist PAC have taken over the Democratic Party. They are the chief witches who are brewing the broth which they hope to feed to the American people. That broth is the total annihilation of all and everything American.
Only election of a Republican President and a Republican Congress will stop “the policies of spend, waste, borrow and tax, which have been repeated over and over,” Mr. Tucker said.
