Nearly every hour of the working
i day we are more or less influenced
by the condition of our roads, our
avenues of trade. Good roads pay
one hundred cents on the dollar. A
county known by its good roads is
singled out by the man who is seek
ing a home for himself and family.
Good roads bring rural routes speed
lily, thereby contenting and keeping
many dissatisfied but progressive
farmers in the county An important
economic effect Of the establishment
of good roads will be the stimulus to
the back to the soil' movement
which is necessary to offset the con-
stantly increasing migration to our
cities. The good roads movement
will help to keep our boys and girls
on the farm and prove an incentive
to civic pride bring more sun
shine all around.
! am strongly in favor of the
credit system or bond issue plan in
connection with federal aid for the
building of our roads for the simple
reason that prosperity who will reap
a goodly share of the benefits of our
investments will help shoulder the
burden.
We are in progressive age of in
dustrial and social awakening. New
problems are constantly coming be-
fore us touching upon the welfare of
the people of all classes in life. These
problems demand changes in our
laws and government for the bene-
fit and protection of our people. I
believe in popular rule and that the |
will of the people is first in every is |
sue
Constitutional changes should be |
made only after broad discussion
and wise consideration have
established the need and
fact, followed by final submission to
the will of the people.
The progress of the age demands
hat each voter be less ignorant as
20 the merits of the issues at stake
n the polls. I believe that this age
a campaign of education
llong the line of politics; that every
'oter in this great nation of ours
'e made to feel the priceless value
# his or her duty at the polls.
May the time soon come when
very voter will consider it burning
hame to throw away his vote by
eaving it uncast if by any means it
possible to reach the polling place. ,
A great danger to our nation .
les in our present popular apathy. I
most earnestly urge every man
nd woman entitled to vote to go
ublicity of the press; that the peo-
lie may know the facts In connection .

representatives. y
The tariff question is of vital i'm
ortance to each voter. To be in y
informed on the tariff
roblems you must study the in II
umerable phases surrounding the I
lings directly effected by certain
hanging conditions. 1t is not n
range that our people should differ
opinion as to the best methods tt
dealing with this important is h
e. We In our homes have differ In
ces OF opinion, yet we do not lay -
e home in ruins. -
Rather we take time to consider NO
d look the matter over from both nj
les of opinions, then unitedly work CT
the improvements necessary to pr
I'D up and make our home more Ia
mfortable and enjoyable. Hence, W.
owing that in such important Ma
nal questions as that of the tariff. Iv
d many others of National scope mi
ich require such extensive and ex- m,
e knowledge of facts that we each 20
cannot possibly take the time ar
IN our business to study these In
nprehendingly, am perfectly con- ~
II to leave such issues to the ~,
