He is so right. You do have to worry about inflation. And it is his administration which is primarily responsible for bringing on inflation and failing to stop it. As Republican leader in the House of Representatives, I led a fight to cut the President's non-military budget by 5 per cent this year. We had the support of nearly all the Republican congressmen, but only one out of five of the Democrats cooperated. Since Democrats in the Congress outnumber the Republicans more than two to one, it's easy to see why we couldn't win--why you couldn't win--on any economy votes. You want to stop inflation? It can be done. Elect to public office men and women who not only talk about the danger of inflation but do something about it-men and women who will vote against unnecessary spending, who will insist on a balanced budget and sound money. ANNOUNCER: Had enough of higher prices? Vote Republican, and return Jerry Ford to Congress. CAMERON R. FOND MEMORIAL
