![["Congressman Richard Nixon is running for United States Senator against Congresswoman Helen Douglas in a hotly contested race in California. The differences between the two candidates include their political philosophies, 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, leading to criticism from Democratic and Republican leaders. Nixon also called for Secretary of State Acheson's resignation, citing a loss of confidence among the people. He appealed for new leadership in foreign relations that both parties can support."]](https://jones-2.s3.amazonaws.com/Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20Collection/CAC_CC_014_5_173_8_0000-Pink%20Sheet%20of%20Nixon%20on%20Helen%20Gahagan%20Douglas%20in%201950%20Campaign/Thumbnails/CAC_CC_014_5_173_8_0012_thumbnail.jpg "Putting Country Before Party: Why Richard Nixon is the Right Choice for United States Senator")
