URGES CONTINUANCE
OF REPUBLICAN RULE

EDITOR OF THE EVENING JOURNAL.
Sir: l have been a lifelong Repub-
lican in darker days than now con-
fronts us, when every mans courage
was tried We are now called upOn
TO exercise our best judgment and
to weigh well the countrys best in
terests before it is too late II be-
hooves every voter to consider the
history and the actions of the DEM
ocratic party. In the past their ac-
tions spoke louder than words can
tell. Many young men who have not.
been through the fight for truth and
justice, who are Indifferent, who have
been led TO believe that a change OF
policy in our government would be
to the best interests of the people,
will be called upon TO cast their first
ballot. Dear friends do not be de-
ceived
Now, more than ever, should every
true Republican stand, shoulder to
shoulder ready to discharge his
duty. You owe it to your fellow men
and to yourselves. / consider that we
have a clean, able, and upright set of
candidates who appeal to you for your
support / believe we could consci-
entiously vote for all without any flu
ture regret. Men of experience; men
well qualified; men whom you could
trust men who have been tried and
not found wanting. and who would
fill the office with credit to them
selves and benefit to the people Why
not rally around our standard bear
ers and encourage them; help them to
20 forward cheerfully and success
fully, and, when the polls close on
election day. be rewarded for our ef-
forts by placing in offices men of
ability and efficiency?
Our principles are just and up
right. We have no apologies to offer
None are required We are satisfied
Our little commonwealth will be the
gamer in the long run. Energy and
brains will be injected into the body
politics. Confidence will be restored
and a happy termination of a jun
bled situation will be the result.
The only ones to be benefited. in my
estimation, by a change of adminis-
tration would be the Office holders
and importers. This would mean less
work and more competition Our mar
kets would be overstocked and our
country would be OVERLOADED by for
eign products to the detriment of our
home industries. God knows our con-
ditiOns are bad enough without court
ing more ills too numerous TO mem
tion. Under the wise and benefcent
protective policy of the Republican
party we can look back with pride
and pleasure and see how our infant
industries have thrived and grown.
until today we are the envy of the
world.
What a glorious Nation this has be-
come, filed with happy homes and
thrifty people, a refuge for the op-
pressed. of all nations of the earthl Is
this not something of which to be
proud? Should we not be willing TO
make some sacrifice to maintain this
happy state of affairs or should We be
better suited by homicidal impulse
laying waste our vast industries
which our brilliant corps of ener-
getic business men have built up?
What havoc IL would play with our
families and happy homes It might
be law but il would not be justice.
Might does not always make right.
Think men! DO not give up the sub
stantials for a shadow or a theory
that has long been advocated by DEM
agOgues to the detriment of our well

not be truthfully denied. We want no
more free soup houses. Sufficient for
the day is the evil thereof. Give us
health and strength and plenty to do
With all these opportunities available
we will strive to get along. Prosper
ity abounds in our land beyond COM
parison. Hold hard Pull together. Let
the ship of state glide safely along
and wish It God speed.
God bless our President and con-
tinue TO favor him with health and
strength to enable him to discharge
his duties in the future as in the past
for he has been a wise and a con-
servative leader, one who has given
us a sane administration. May he still
be spared many years of usefulness in
the land of his birth.
Let's get together boys Up and al
the enemy. This is no time for fail
ure There is too much at stake. "A
bird in the hand is worth two in the
bush" Let the memory of our Illus
trious dead once more inspire you &c
buckle on your armor and go forth tC
