NUMBER So

with the administration, and of the
same political faith, do much more
Tor them than "A Republican mcm-
ber OF Congress. In fact, from CIV /.
cry reasonable and logical stand
point it is the height of foolish
ness, for those who expect to gc-
compliSh something, to put man
IN who is not in accord with th.
President and with the majority i'm
; Congress, hence the election of Mr..
Brown rs important to the better
ment of many of the veterans in
his district, rs well rs of like inter
ests nj the state, because of his big
heart and broad mind. he is ready
at all times to aid West Virginians.
There arc still many things the
people need and desire that they
have right to have, and one cs-
pecially is worth considering, and
that is, the extension of the rural
mail routes, and these can be se-
cured by simply taking the matter
up with Mr.. Brown, who can get as
near to the Postofficc Department
as any other man, while if you
were to elect Republican, he
would be entirely out of tune with
the administration and could do
nothing for you, SO the reasonable
conslusion is for all to be of one
opinion, and that is, our interests
will be the best served i'm the cleo
tion of Mr.. Brown.
Then, there IL no question but
that President Wilson is being en-
dorsed, in his administration by Ill
fair-minded people in this country,
and the real, brave thing for Amer
leans to do in the Second district
in West Virginia, is to give him the I,
glad hand, through the recollection
of Mr.. Brown, who has bccn,faith-
ful in season and out of season to
aid in the passage of the wise meas
urcs recommended to the Congress.
and ii you are men whose bosoms
swell with warm American blood
and who can appreciate the great
acts OF the President in staving off
what seemed at times war with
Mexico, and the leaving with the
homes of the women and children,
the fathers and brothers, and hus-
bands, you will vote for Mr.. Brown
as being the only way you have
at this time of rcwarding the Peace
President, for the peace we have
todny.
Then again, the pride of the peo-
pie of the Second district should be
held up as one Of the things which
burns in the bosom of every West
Virginian, and the knowledge of
the fact that Mr.. Browns ability
was Mt once recognized in Con-
grcss and that he has been placed
on several of the important commit
tees, and that on the Banking and
Currency Committee he Mt once as
sumed such prominence that he was
placed on the subcommittee to pre-
pare the new currency law, which
passed the House on September 1s,
1913, by vote of 287 to 85, the
same being supported i'm the House
by 35 Republicans and III Bull
Mooscrs, thereby having the en-
dorsement of all the political par
ties in Congress, and the Congress
man from the Second West Virginia
district was one of the trainers of
that great measure; thus by his
honest, painstakibg labors, he has
gained for West Virginia another
honored place among the states.
But. his devotion did not stop
here, for his record shows him faith
full, dcvoiing his time Co the duties
OF the high office to which the peo-
pic elected him, always at his post,
and responding TO roll call, or n
vote upon the peLding measures in
the Iloase Of which he is a member,
and the people Of his district can
feel assured of their interests being
fully guarded il they re-elect him
TO Congress.
Along these lines, you sec, with
out glasses, the kind of man you
have in Congress and while these
few examples of reasons why he is
worthy of the place, yet, the facts
are. from al other standpoints, you
want q man in Congress who can
do you the most good, and IL is
sclf-cyidcnt that hc is the man who
can do the most good, because he is
Of the political faith of the admin
I istration and the Congress, and has
. jhc good will OF both these elc-
mcnls, while his experience for al
most continuous service for four
years. hc is the man that can serve
lhc people better than a man who is
of opposite political faith to the
/ President aud the Congress, and is
out of touch with the administration
by reason Of being required to give
zap an office he had held under the
government for more than 16 years,
so 10 is an easy matter 90 solve, for
your own best interest, and no
doubt you viii cast your votes for
Mr.. Brown, in preference to one
Who is not of the faith and of one
who is likely to End favor with the
powers.
Mr. Brown goes before the pco-
plc of his district with the same
clean record, both in private as well
as in official life while in Washing
ton, and with that sturdy, deter
mined will, inherited from Scotch
