![["In California, there is a gubernatorial race between Gov. Earl Warren and James Roosevelt, with Warren being the favorite. The Senatorial race between Representative Richard Nixon and Representative Helen Gahagan Douglas is more unpredictable. Nixon focuses on foreign policy and accuses Douglas of being pro-Communist, while Douglas emphasizes social issues. Both candidates are campaigning vigorously across the state, with Nixon receiving support from conservative Democrats and Warren supporters."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_173_10_0000-Nixon-Clippings/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_173_10_0045_thumbnail.jpg "Egg Volley at Ford Hall: Helen Gahagan Douglas Takes on Nixon")

![["Congressman Nixon, running for United States Senator, believes that progress should not be hindered by disagreements over whether power should be provided by public or private entities, or whether water delivery should be limited to those owning 160 acres or less. He argues that the 160-acre limitation issue should not be a concern as it would be difficult to enforce in developed areas. Nixon believes that private companies should be allowed to provide power where they can do so efficiently and at a lower cost than the government, but the government should step in where private companies cannot provide adequate service. He opposes the White-Douglas Bill, which would allow for federal development of power facilities even if it would be more costly to consumers and taxpayers than private enterprise. Nixon believes that the public should receive adequate service at the lowest possible cost."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_173_6_0000-Nixon%20Kickoff%20Speech%20and%20others/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_173_6_0009_thumbnail.jpg "An Urgent Appeal: Support Richard Nixon for United States Senator")

She is against recognition and admission of Red China.
