BETTS' FINANCIAL TRAINING BENEFITS CALIFORNIA
BETTS' training as a CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT provided
him the experience to break the rigid and short-sighted programs imposed
by the previous administrations and to place California Taxpayers in a
flexible and favorable position to sell bonds on a receptive national market
at a great savings.
COMPETITIVE BOND SALES - SAVES TAXPAYERS MILLION$
BETTS, by saving the taxpayers $16.8 MILLION DOLLARS in the four
bond sales, from August, 1961 to January, 1962, has proven his fight to restore
competitive bidding in the sale of California bonds is the program necessary
to finance California's growth soundly and protect its citizens from unneces-
sary tax costs. This competition WILL SAVE the TAXPAYER $100's of
MILLION$ in the years to come.
DYNAMIC INVESTMENT PROGRAM EARNS TAXPAYERS MILLION$
BETTS expanded our state's investment program until it now produces 37
million dollars annually, enough money to build 62 complete elementary
schools per year, and twice as much as the previous administration. These
are dollars from NON-TAX SOURCES that are put to work to benefit you
and your family.
IMPROVED BOND REDEMPTION PLAN SAVES STATE MONEY
BETTS revised California's contracts with fiscal agents across the nation in
order to speed-up the redemption of California Bond Coupons. This new
process is saving California $50,000 dollars annually.
SAVINGS MADE ON EXPANSION OF STATE VAULT
BETTS' purchase of new equipment for the expanded vault was made at a
savings of $85,000 dollars while increasing storage efficiency.
EXPANSION OF OPERATIONS WITHOUT INCREASING COSTS
BETTS has modernized procedures within the TREASURER'S OFFICE,
increasing efficiency while taking on an increased work load without hiring
additional personnel. Thus making still another saving for the CALIFORNIA
TAXPAYER.

tive Senators from rural districts killed 72 measures written to protect the rights, the safety,
the health and the security of all California working men and women.
The AFL-CIO nationally has been conducting a fight for proper reapportionment and
representation for urban areas in all legislative bodies. In the October 1962 issue of the American
Federationist, the AFL-CIO points out that California is suffering more than any other state
from rural domination and inadequate representation for metropolitan areas. AFL-CIO policy
historically has supported reapportionment and proper representation. It has supported this
position through legal action and activities requiring the expenditure of considerable sums
of money.

EVERY OFFICE!
DEMOCRAT FOR
for SECRETARY OF STATE
Dear California Voter,
The Secretary of State is the chief election
officer of California.
The incumbent Secretary of State, in the 20
years he has held this office, has demonstrated a
shocking failure to meet the problem of efficient
and accurate handling of millions of ballots cast
in our elections. In 1960 we couldn't find out if
Nixon or Kennedy won in California. In the June
primary of this year, many contests were not
officially decided for more than a month.
It is time for a change. It is time to
bring California up to date in this vital office.
I ask for your vote, and I pledge that if I
am elected, I will use every possible means to
make all Californians proud of the office of
Secretary of State.
Sincerely,
Don Rose

EDMUND G. BROWN
GOVERNOR
CALIFORNIA
SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA
Dear Fellow State Employee:
I am proud of the Civil Service System in California
as one of the strongest of any in the fifty states.
For the past twenty-five years, it has been responsible
in large part for the tremendous service which the citizens
of California have received from their state government.
For almost two decades, I have been a government
employee myself. During my two terms as District Attorney
in San Francisco, my two terms as Attorney General of
California, and my term as Governor, I have always had a
tremendous admiration for the outstanding job which has
been done by our dedicated civil servants. As evidence of
this, I cite the large number of appointments in my
administration which have come out of civil service ranks.
Compare that record to my opponent's statements that we must
"clean the mess out of Sacramento".
Inequitable salary situations must continue to be
analyzed and corrected. This will be given top priority
next year as it was given this year. I pledge to continue
this program in the future. I support your right to be paid
prevailing wages, and your absolute right to receive a
fair return for your dedicated service.
Your right to engage in political activity on your own,
including your right to resist any threat of management
reprisal, and your right to be heard and consulted on the
areas that vitally affect your interest have also been
jealously guarded by this administration. Your vote is your
most important heritage in this great democracy of ours.
Be sure to vote on November 6th for the candidates of your
choice. I believe that my record warrants your support.
Sincerely,
Elmed S. Brann

THIS IS THE C.D.C. POLITICAL MIND
The most potent campaign material we Republicans have was provided
for us by the opposition. On February 12, 13 and 14, the California
Democratic Council met in Fresno, in statewide convention. Some 2300
C.D.C. delegates from 500 Democratic clubs adopted the following
resolutions:
1. Remold the United Nations into a world organization that can enact
and interpret and enforce world law upon individuals and govern-
ments alike.
2. Demand the United States disarm-even if negotiations to achieve
world disarmament fail, even if the U.S.S.R. does not disarm.
3. Include Red China in negotiations to halt nuclear tests.
4. Abolish the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
5. Abolish all loyalty oaths-state and federal.
6. Oppose all legislation which would inhibit the powers of the United
States Supreme Court.
7. Outlaw secret Congressional Committee hearings (thus making top-
secret testimony available to public et al.).
8. Strip the Postmaster General of powers to halt the use of the U.S.
mails by the purveyors of pornographic materials.
9. Extend all-out Federal aid to education, including funds for
teachers' salaries.
10. Extend the right to organize and the right to strike to all public
employees, firemen, police officers, etc.
11. Repeal the Landrum-Griffin labor reform bill of 1959.
12. Liberalize unemployment insurance benefits and statutes.
13. Ban the use of Mexican nationals and other aliens for farm work.
14. Request the President to review the Morton Sobel treason conviction
to secure "Ultimate justice" (vindication).
15. Repeal the relatives' responsibility law, requiring children to
contribute to support of aged.
16. Increase economic aid to underdeveloped nations and reduce military
assistance abroad.
17. Establish local police review boards to hear complaints against
police methods.
REMEMBER: All California Democrat candidates are committed to these
stands adopted by their Council of Democratic Clubs.
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL
WHEN THE CALIFORNIA DEMOCRATIC COUNCIL was formed in 1953, or thereabouts, by a small
group of ambitious politicians, including State Senator George Miller, Alan Cranston (now state
controller) and Richard Richards (now State Senator), a new era began in state politics.
The CDC had all the potentials of a political machine. And its general success in political action
has accelerated its growth and power. Thus today the conglomeration of clubs (approximately 500)
which compose the council represent a threat not only to the Republican Party, its philosophy and
its candidates, but also to a free and independent Democratic Party.
Undoubtedly more representative of the extreme left than of the general body of Democrats
the CDC nevertheless has wangled itself into a position of such strength it would now be extremely
difficult for a Democrat to win nomination and election if the CDC turned thumbs down. Gen-
erally, members of the CDC regard themselves as liberals. Democrats with less extreme views
regard them as "ultra liberals." Republicans lump them in the left wing division of politics.
The point is, the council and its members represent an extreme in partisan philosophy and action,
which is not to intimate that many or most of the members are not sincere, earnest citizens who
seek the best for themselves and their fellows. But the goals of such an organization, the inevitable
progress it must make either to greater and greater political power or to dissolution are specific
rather than general.
Perhaps you may approve of some of their goals. But a projection into action of such doctrines
not only would effect basic changes in our governmental forms and policies but would set in motion
various influences designed to effect still more radical modifications. Here you have a powerful
organization already prepared to select, elect and to some extent control Democratic officeholders.
In this connection you may recall the eager manner in which Governor Edmund Brown reminded
the CDC in its recent convention in Fresno how much of its program he has managed to translate
into law. It is not that this oranization has mushroomed into so much political prominence and
power in so short a time, nor is it primarily important that the CDC does not truly represent the
Democratic rank and file.
The importance lies in the fact that the council is organized, is directed with professional skill,
has its eye on specific objectives and can more or less dictate the party's candidate selections and
broad commitments. Probably the least effective assault upon the CDC would take the form of
intemperate denunciation and a wildly alarmed endeavor to break it up. The CDC may not be
here to stay, but it is here and will be around for some time to come. The best way to keep such a
group within bounds is to maintain a watch on its activities, give close scrutiny to the issues it
espouses and turn a critical eye on the candidates it endorses.
There is some dispute as to the real membership of the council, but a close estimate might be
35,000. And taking the state's Democratic registration into consideration, it would appear that
the CDC membership represents about 1% of the party strength which goes to show how badly
disorganized the Democrats were before the council rose to power. The rise of the CDC also
emphasizes the decline of Republican ascendancy in California. For 50 years the GOP managed
by political integrity, agility and a run of candidates slightly above the common level to attract a
majority of the state's voters. IT WAS NOT THE ABOLITION OF CROSSFILING SO MUCH AS
A FALLING AWAY OF REPUBLICAN PARTY SOLIDARITY AND ENTHUSIASM that enabled
the better organized Democrats to seat a governor, grab control of the State Legislature and take
over all but one of the state's constitutional offices.
Now, possibly, opportunity again knocks on the Republican door. All that is needed is man-
power, campaign financing, good candidates and a will to win.

October 29, 1962
To: Mr. 2. Wayne Griffin
and others to whom it may concern:
From: A loyal, voting Democrat
I have every reason to believe that the majority of
Republicans are homest and sincere in their political
thinking. They have every reason to support and work for
their candidate.
But whom do you think you're fooling! A Republican posing as
a Democrat for Nixon is a dishonest citizen--as dishomest &
fictitious as this piece of campaign mis-information.
We Democrats are sometimes said to have differing opinions,
on one thing we are certainly united we all have an aversion
to Nixon. So whom do you think you're fooling with all this
tresh you're mailing under the "Democrats for Nixon" label?
As for this "slime sheet", it is too slick for me; I'm
sure, Mr. Griffin, it would work better on yours.
Sincerely,

Dear Fellow San Franciscan,
"I am determined that California, soon to be the
largest state, will continue to be the first state in educa-

ment, recreation and law enforcement.
"Your Democratic team in Sacramento is proud of its
achievements over the past four years.
"We pledge the same vigorous action in behalf of
all Californians during the next four years.

Mr. Harold Brown
Attorney at Law
605 Market Street
San Francisco, California
Dear Harold:
It was nice to hear from you again. Certainly you may
use my American Bar Association prize essay, "The
Living Proxy."
I should also like to say this, and you may quote me
if you wish in any pamphlet you are thinking about
getting out, that I have known Pat for 27 or 28 years.
He was our leader in the New Order of Cincinnatus
when we organized in the State of California. Many
people will remember the nonpartisan young men's
organization that came out in the depression 30's and
cleaned up the mess that the old politicians had
created. With our motto "win, lose or draw," we cut
no corners. Up and down the Pacific Coast we suc-

men into public office. Following the principles of the

emoluments, except the right to serve their people.

find that out of the ranks of the New Order of Cincin-
natus have come many Judges, including his Honor

Participate
I know that Pat Brown, as a true Cincinnatus, is
honest, trustworthy and a good public servant. I fol-
lowed him through his career as District Attorney of

San Francisco County, and I know something of the
fine record he made in the Attorney General's office
of your State.
Even though I am a Republican, I recommend him,

California. Also having followed Mr. Nixon's cam-
paigns, I find no hesitancy in my mind or conscience
in saying that I do sincerely hope that Pat Brown

emerges from the November election as re-elected
Governor of California. I know that the people can
put their trust in Pat, as we young men of the New

With best regards.
