![["Congressman Richard Nixon is running for United States Senator in California against Congresswoman Helen Douglas. The campaign is described as one of national importance due to the difference in political philosophies between the two candidates, with Nixon being a moderate conservative and Douglas being a radical. Nixon's campaign has highlighted Douglas' voting record aligning with a Communist-line congressman, which has drawn criticism from both parties. Nixon has called for Secretary of State Acheson to resign and has appealed for new leadership in foreign relations that both Democrats and Republicans can support."]](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_0001_thumbnail.jpg "Helen Gahagan Douglas: The Pink Lady Turned Foe of Communism")
