Earl Warren represents all that is best in the Republican party: the refusal to make* profitable bargains or kow-tow to the national committee; an avid desire to be a liberal, and an insatiable appetite for books and people that can show him how to implement a progressive program; the courage which led him to fight his own Republican legislature and the A.M.A. for a form of socialized medicine; and this year sent him against the powerful oil companies and banks for funds with which to give California a highway system to protect the lives of its motorists. He works hard, lives plainly, is accessible to everyone, and through his devotion to his wife and five children has developed a desire to protect all families and all children within his state. •GERTRUDE DEBS; She waited eight years for the man she loved, and then during some fifty-five years of marriage served as a pillar of strength and devotion.

Her husband, Theodore Debs, had I the compensation of working for ^ great causes, the excitement of publishing pamphlets and books, of participating in national elections, of going to conventions and having thousands of friends and supporters.

What he believed in, she ^ believed ia;-economic ideas and po-I litical ideologies came and went, only love was permanent and indestructible. From her steadfastness and great moral courage, Theodore’s brother, Gene Debs, also drew sustenance and strength.
