TO MR.. STAY-AT-HOME.

To you, Mr.. Stay-at-Home, we
would say a word this afternoon. Do
you eve find fault with the way
your city IL governed? Do you ever
criticise public officials and complain
about this, that and the other thing
that they do or do not do? Do you
ever object to the character of men
holding Office? II you do, what are
you doing to remedy the condition
you complain of? Do you realize
that this afternoon and tonight, until
the polls close at 9 o'clock, you have
an opportunity to remedy. in a meas
ure, the things you talk so much
about2
1t Is true that you will not have
the opportunity to correct all the
evils that you may think exist in pub
sic affairs, but at least you have a
chance to do something. If you take
no interest In this much, what rea-
son is there to believe hat you will
take a greater interest at any other
timer YOU AT LEAST HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO DO YOUR
PART TOWARD KEEPING THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OUT OF POLL
has been clearly set before you. The
fact that 1t is all on the republican
side Is all the more reason why, If
you are a republican voter, you
should go out and help put your
party on record.
You want your children to have
the best education possible. don't
your You know that an efficient
Board of Education Is necessary to
accomplish this. You must also
know that a board, to give the prop
er service to the city, cannot be in
dulging in petty political fights all
the time. The present Board of Ed
ucation has eliminated politics. 1t
is composed of a high class of men.
The democrats have endorsed these
men for nomination on their regular
thicket this fall. The republicans
nave an opportunity to do the same
thing. Because some republicans in
sist upon injecting politics into the
matter by declaring that, as there
are five democrats and but four re-
republicans are not having a fair
show, they have caused to be placed
on their party ballot nine republicans
other than the members of the pres
ent board. To nominate these nine
men will mean that the republican
party of this city is not willing to
take the schools out of politics.
What are you going to do about 1t,
Mr.. Stay-at-Home Republican, Do
you think enough of your children,
their education and their welfare to
put on your hat, walk down to the
polling place and cast your ballot In
\ favor Of the non-partisan school
board? We know you are tired and
would like to spend a peaceful even
Ing at home, but, then, what right
have you to complain about public
affairs If you do not care enough
\about the matter to cast a ballot
when you have the opportunity?
If you did not receive a marked
ballot ready for you, together with a
note signed by eleven prominent re,
publicans telling why they favor the
n~on-partisan school board, you car
easily see how to mark your ballot
by reading the advertisement on the
first page of the EVENING NEWS
tonight. You certainly must know
where you polling place is. If you
don't, last nights EVENING NEWS
will tell you. Won't you vote before
the polls close tonight?
Do this for the sake of your chill,
dren, for the good of your party and
for the welfare OF your city. Thi,
Is your opportunity to act, not talk
FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR.

about the people not having a chance
