- Description:
- The San Francisco Chronicle editorial page on October 21, 1950, endorses Richard M. Nixon for United States Senator over Democratic candidate Helen Gahagan Douglas. The editorial highlights Nixon's leadership on internal security, domestic and foreign policy issues, and his role in exposing Alger Hiss as a Communist agent. It criticizes Douglas for her New Deal ideology and support for government intervention. The editorial concludes that despite Nixon's differing views, he is the better choice for Californians in the upcoming election.
