IS THIS "REPRESENTING THE PEOPLE OR THE SPECIAL INTERESTS? These Democrats Wil Protect Your Rights SZTl? ...-sat.: Face 4K .yv PRESIDENT TRUMAN the Facts V -w5 HERE IS YOUR PRESENT REPUBLICAN CONGRESSMAN'S RECORD On March 4. 1947, he voted against a bill to extend the farm labor supply program to Dec. 31. It passed, 243 to 110, with most Republicans favoring it. On May 28 he helped to defeat an attempt to restore S165 000.000 in farm funds to the agricultural bill. It lost by six votes. On June 16 he helped defeat the wool protection bill in the same manner. On Feb. 14. 1948, he helped defeat an appropriation for 300 million dollars for rural electrification. He has shown his dislike for Missouri river development and on several occasions has voted against appropriations for development of various river basins. In the 79th Congress, Buffett was one of 16 congressmen, including only six Republicans, who voted against reviving federal crop insurance. There were 255 favorable votes. On May 1. 1947, he voted with Marctmtonio against the rent control bill, which was" passed in an avalanche of GOP votes. On March 16, 1948, he voted against the Republicans rent control extension bill. On June 18, he voted against the standby selective service bill introduced by the GOP. It passed 232 to 131. He was practically a ' lone wolf in voting against the Wolcott housing bill, a diluted version of the original Taft-Ellender-Wagner measure fostered by the American Legion. It passed 318 to 9, with only Buffett and two other Re publicans opposing it. On June 19 he voted against the selective service bill, which passed, 259 to 136. This bill also was approved by the Republican high command. v Buffett's veteran votes in the 79th Congress appear to be just as uniformly against the ex-service man and against the best interests of the American Legion. Buffett was opposed to the policies of Presidential Candidate Dewey four years ago and is OPPOSED TO THEM TODAY! His past voting reccrd shows that he was opposed to the major planks of the Republican platform in 1944 and he states publicly he hasn't changed his mind! He has bolted his party on all important issues. Buffett has not voted in the best interests of this district: he has voted in the best interests of the isolationists and "away from home" interests.
