Why They Indorse Roosevelt.
(Philadelphia Press.l


Nine investors out of every ten who
own securities of American corpora
tons will indorse President Roosevelt's
policies, so long as disclosures like that
in Metropolitan Security are possible.
Such things open the eyes of men and
women who have paid good money for
supposedly safe investments, only to
learn that they have been buncoed.
Hence each new revelation that
comes, or has come in the past few
years, in regard to affairs like Asphalt,
United States Shipbuilding, Chicago &
Alton, the Southern Pacific juggIe.
Metropolitan and many others, leaves
an embittered impression upon the
thousands of innocent investors who
have lost their money. They lost pri-
marily not because stocks went down.
but because the thing itself was inner
emily rotten.
Moreover, each such revelation is
like new and powerful weapon put in
the Presidents arsenal. And yet there
are few men who may still wonder
why it is that the people as whole are
80 overwhelmingly on his side in the
great movement for the square dealt"

OF that there's not single doubt;
Your millionaire will testify
To this, and do it with shout
I've got the matter nicely planned
To save little from my pay
Let's see: think III start the thing
Along about on New Years Day.
1t doesn't pay to reckless be
When you must work to earn your

A man should save each week or month
To leave little when he's dead.

So IN have wealth when 1 am gray,
And I'll begin to save-let's see,

of the Ninth Congressional District the
absolute necessity of standing together

approaching election in November.
Vote for Republicans for the Legisla-
ture, and vote for Republicans for your
county officers. We offer this advice
In no narrow, partisan sense, but
because we earnestly believe that the
hope of Republicanism in Virginia is
dependent upon the continued success
of the party in the Ninth District. By
systematic fraud and adverse legisla-
ton the party has been DESTROYED in
other parts of the State. Let the
Republicans of the Ninth do their duty.
