Already emerging definitely in| the three-cornered _ senatorial; race as the man whose sound judgment can not be influenced, | ino matter how much outside; pressure is brought to bear on: |him, Wilcox is drawing his sur- {prising strength from workers | {and employers alike, because of their confidence in his integrity | and because of the fact that he! jean not be stampeded into deci- | | sions against his better judgment. | |The machine politicians are be- coming increasingly alarmed over | |the fact that political “pressure” has no effect on him. | In every major legislative bat- | |tle, the stand publicly taken by) | Mark Wilcox in Congress has} | finally been endorsed as sound by a majority of the Democratic Sen- ‘ate and House of Representatives. Asked what kind of legislation | Wilcox goes. after and gets, and what he opposes, authorities here | |refer to the records to show that! he has‘ worked “and voted for | every administration measure to ‘stabilize business, industry and ;agriculture; all bills fully en- | dorsed by labor; every worthy bill for relief of the unemployed and aged, or for national defense; ‘but has opposed strenuously all such undemocratic brain trust bills which would undermine an independent judiciary, or which would deprive the states and Con- gress of their inherent rights and responsibilities.
