OUR CHAMPION

Leland M. Ford representing the 17th Congressional District of California, known as a Republican member of the House of Representatives, has been an ardent supporter of our military preparedness program long before the war. He is known for his fearless expression of his convictions regardless of consequences. Because of his honesty and tireless endeavor to accomplish and serve regardless of parly affiliations, Rep. Ford is highly respected by both Republicans and Democrats. In all probability he is regarded as an outstanding representative from California. During these days of national strife, Rep. Ford is relentless and most determined, always saying what he means and meaning what he says. In the present controversy of the Japanese question in California, he deserves much credit, because he speaks the wishes and opinions of the great majority of Californians. It is a known fact that regardless of party affiliations in his own district, Rep. Ford is regarded as the popular choice of both parties more than ever before.
