On to anti-Governor Martin flyer
A 1934 flyer exhorts Portland citizens to attend a meeting to fight fascism. Adolph Hitler had become prime minister in Germany a year earlier with the support of his Nazi Party. The Military Department monitored communist and radical socialist and labor groups in the 1930s. Portland was considered a hotbed of radicalism.
