Noting that probably SO percent of the nation's newspapers carried the torch for the Republican party. O'Dowd said this “reactionary" press would berate men of vision within the party should they espouse legislation "tor the people." He cited such men as Wlllkle apd Vandenberg who never attained a proper stature within party ranks commensurate with their ideals O'Dowd was Introduced at the rally by prosecuting attorney Severin Schurger. who also introduced all tbe county Democrat candidates for office In tbe coming election The meeting was held in the Democrat headquarters in the K. of P. home. i Despite the fact that In our time, the Republican press “expresses mor* opposition than any time In previous' political history . . the hearts ot the American people are still with the Democrat party." ivikywd mated “As the reactionary press contian* a to slant its editorial policies and contribute to the privileged interests and go marching off In one direction, the American people go oft in another." This I* proved, he said, in election after election.
