# A Chicken for Every Pot

Political ad in favor of the United States presidential candidate, Herbert Hoover.
A Chicken for Every Pot
The Republican Party isn’t a "Poor Man’s Party:" Republican prosperity has erased that degrading phrase from our political vocabulary. The Republican Party is equality’s party—opportunity’s party—democracy’s party, the party of national development, not sectional interests—the impartial servant of every State and condition in the Union.
Under higher tariff and lower taxation, America has stabilized output, employment and dividend rates.
Republican efficiency has filled the workingman’s dinner pail—and his gasoline tank besides—made telephone, radio and sanitary plumbing standard household equipment. And placed the whole nation in the silk stocking class.
During eight years of Republican management, we have built more and better homes, erected more skyscrapers, passed more benefactory laws, and more laws to regulate and purify immigration, inaugurated more conservation measures, more measures to standardize and increase production, expand export markets, and reduce i n d u s t r i a l and human junk piles, than in any previous quarter century.
Republican prosperity is written on fuller wage envelops, written in factory chimney smoke, written on the walls of new construction, written in savings bank books, written in mercantile balances, and written in the peak value of stocks and bonds.
Republican prosperity has reduced hours and increased earning capacity, silenced discontent, put the proverbial "chicken in every pot." And a car in every backyard, to boot.
It has raised living standards and lowered living costs.
It has restored financial confidence and enthusiasm, changed credit from a rich man’s privilege to a common utility, generalized the use of time-saving devices and released women from the thrall of domestic drudgery.
It has provided every county in the country with its concrete road and knitted the highways of the nation into a unified traffic system.
Thanks to Republican administration, farmer, dairyman and merchant can make deliveries in less time and at less expense, can borrow cheap money to refund exorbitant mortgages, and stock their pastures, ranges and shelves.
Democratic management impoverished and demoralized the railroads, led packing plants and tire factories into receivership, squandered billions on impractical programs.
Democratic maladministration issued further billions on mere “ "scraps of paper," then encouraged foreign debtors to believe that their loans would never be called, and bequeathed to the Republican Party the job of mopping up the mess.
Republican administration has restored to the railroads solvency, efficiency and par securities.
It has brought rubber trades through panic and chaos, brought down the prices of crude rubber by smashing monopolistic rings, put the tanner’s books in the black and secured from the European powers formal acknowledgment of their obligations.
The Republican Party rests its case on a record of stewardship and performance.
Its Presidential and Congressional candidates stand for election on a platform of sound practice, Federal vigilance, high tariff, Constitutional integrity, the conservation of natural resources, honest and constructive measures for agricultural relief, sincere enforcement of the laws, and the right of all citizens, regardless of faith or origin, to share the benefits of opportunity and justice.
Wages, dividends, progress and prosperity say,
“Vote for Hoover”
