First Edition. Prospectus. Printed both sides of a single sheet, 43cm x 28cm (17" x 11"). Text (recto) in three columns with graphic vignettes; text (verso) in four columns with single inset portrait. Old folds; faint creases to margins; Very Good or better. Prospectus for this long-running right-wing monthly, edited by prolific far-right gadfly and conspiracy theorist Harry T Everingham to promote his somewhat shadowy advocacy group "We The People!," self-described here as a group of ".well-informed citizens .joined together.to arouse other Americans from their general apathy and to stand up and fight while we still have some freedom with which to fight!" The group's stated aims were generally nativist and anti-communist, but in later years Everingham would be associated with such classic conspiracy pamphlets as "The Gas Shortage Was Created as Part of the Plan of Those Who Aim to Control Our Lives" (1979) and "Reds Placed AIDS Virus in Vaccine in U.N. World Health Organization Labs to Weaken the U.S. for a Takeover" (1993). "Free Enterprise" was published beginning in 1943 and ran at least through 1976; most of that time the paper was issued from Phoenix. WorldCat notes 9 locations in the U.S., all are partial runs.

First Edition. Oblong octavo. Staple-bound printed paper wrappers; [12]pp. Faint creasing to wrappers with light shelf-soil; Very Good+. A checklist to determine whether your child might be the victim of covert socialist indoctrination. The author points to such evidence as lack of report cards, reduction in homework, and removal of penmanship from the curriculum as definitive warning signs. Issued by "America's Future," a prominent publisher of Cold War-era right-wing tracts.

First Edition. Octavo (22.5cm); pictorial wrappers, stapled; 64,[2]pp. Modest wear and light dust-soil to wrappers, with the holograph ownership mark of United Electrical No.35-41 at upper right corner of front wrapper, and one passage marked in ink on p.41; complete, Very Good copy. "A denunciation of the postwar strike wave by a right-wing author, who asserts that the strikes, under communist instigation, are serving as dress rehearsals for violent revolution. He lists the communist-led unions of the CIO, charging that Philip Murray is now their captive" (SEIDMAN K-25).

First Edition. Handbill, 8-1/2" x 7" (ca 22cm x 18cm). Printed from typescript, one-side only on white paper. Mild evidence of use; Near Fine. Presumably self-published handbill by an anonymous "Nashville Woman," arguing for the innocence of segregationist gadfly John Kasper (who served an eight month sentence for conspiracy in 1957) and suggesting that space ships full of "little green men" [i.e. communists] were taking over city halls, police departments and state houses throughout the South, bringing with them an alien ideology of racial integration. "Yes, friends, 'beware', for the little green men have landed and we can most assuredly point them out. All white citizens must join hands in this mighty crusade for freedom." An illustrative relic of the tiny intersection of Sputnik fever and white supremacy; undated but given the repeated references to Kasper and to "satellite news," 1957 seems a safe bet.

First Edition. Tabloid, 22" x 16"; 8pp. On newsprint, with original horizontal and vertical folds; single small perforation at centerline (without loss); Very Good. This short-lived nativist news sheet was, if not the official organ, then at least the affiliated mouthpiece of the American Protective Association, an anti-Catholic, anti-immigrant membership society founded in Clinton, Iowa in 1887. The group played a vocal but not particularly influential role in the Presidential elections of 1896, ginning up as much phony opposition as they could to the nomination of William McKinley, whom they accused of refusing to meet with the APA's delegates and failing to repudiate the Catholic vote. The allegations were generally false, but no matter; this was fake news before fake news was cool, and the group established a playbook that has been adhered to by the nativist Right ever since. The APA's viewpoint on the elections is strongly represented in the pages of the current issue, with numerous articles denouncing the Vatican, McKinley, and the imputed ties between the two. Front page features a derogatory racist cartoon lampooning the political aspirations of Democrat William E. Russell of Massachusetts, who had announced his candidacy a week earlier (and who died, suddenly and unexpectedly, a few months later). A nicely preserved and highly representative single issue of a scarce newspaper. Narrowly represented in institutional collections and not generally seen in commerce.

First Edition. Slim octavo (23.25cm); original pictorial wrappers, stapled; 20pp + a terminal order blank. Light wear to extremities, a few tiny tears to left edge of rear wrapper, with a few faint creases to rear wrapper and a few terminal leaves; Very Good+. A sequel to the author's 1933 pamphlet Facing the Facts, "an exposé of the Cahilla, the secret Jewish world government" (Singerman 0277). In addition to authoring several anti-Semitic books and pamphlets, Hadley helped found The Paul Revere's, a nationalist organization largely comprised of the wealthy and well-bred whose goal was to promote Americanism and fight Communism. Uncommon in commerce; OCLC notes 12 holdings.

Broadside, 18-1/2" x 9". Printed recto-only on newsprint. Text in single column beneath cartoon graphic signed "Doc Rankin". Single horizontal fold; paper slightly toned and eroded at margins (not approaching text); complete and Good. Right-wing broadside attacking Simon Gerson, who had recently been appointed Assistant to Manhattan Borough President Stanley Isaacs. Gerson (1909-2004) was the first openly Communist politician to hold an appointed office in New York; despite vicious attacks such as this from various right-wing groups he succeeded in holding on to his post for three years. Following WW2 (in which he served honorably), Gerson returned to politics, once again becoming embroiled in controversy when the Tammany machine blocked his appointment to fill deceased communist City Councilman Pete Cacchione's seat. The graphic, reproduced from the Brooklyn "Daily Eagle", shows Gerson conducting city business while a placid Josef Stalin oversees his work from the shadows. The drawing is signed by Doc Rankin, a freelance editorial cartoonist who, in addition to his long service on the Eagle, is widely believed to have been the real-life figure behind the anonymous "Mr. Prolific," one of the most-published illustrators of pornographic "Tijuana Bibles" in the 30s and 40s.

Yellow cloth boards, lettered in black and red on spine and front cover; dustjacket; 343pp; frontispiece and 15 unnumbered leaves of photographic plates (halftones).

In the original gold foil dustwrapper, with printed text on verso; unclipped (priced $2.00 on front flap), an exceptionally well-preserved example, minutely rubbed at extremities with two small punctures to spine panel, one neatly mended with tissue; otherwise the notoriously fragile jacket remains crisp, bright, and free of the rubbing that is endemic to this book. Housed in a custom morocco-backed cloth clamshell cse. Autobiography of Huey Long, aka "The Kingfish," written shortly after assuming his seat as U.S. Senator from Louisiana and in advance of his ill-fated 1936 Presidential campaign. Illustrated throughout with scenes from the Louisiana senator's colorful career, chosen to highlight his accomplishments on behalf of the poor and working-class residents of his state, at whom his populist Presidential campaign was directly targeted. Long would be assassinated in 1935, just as his campaign had begun to gain him national recognition.
