Congressman Richard Nixon is running for U.S. Senator and is asking voters to compare his voting record with that of his opponent, Mrs. Douglas. Nixon has consistently voted for national defense, internal security, cutting government spending, supporting veterans, labor-management relations, small businesses, equal rights for women, and state ownership of tidelands. He is portrayed as a champion of free enterprise and constitutional government, while Douglas is described as an extreme left-winger who wants more federal controls and has fought against exposing and controlling communists in the country.
