people live in the cities while twenty
five per cent dwell in the country
Under these conditions, eventually,
the city workingman will become so
poor that none will be able to own
their own home in the city, for it is
impossible for an American working
man to compete with a foreigner on
account of his different standard of
living, and we native and naturalized
Americans, will be forced to the
country and leave the foreign to do the
work to be done in the city.
This is only one, among other ideas
which | have in mind to better the con-
dition of the workingman The pros
perity of nation or state depends up
on the prosperity of the men who toll,
and any representative of the people
who fails to recognize this fact and
does not protect the workingman at all
times, is not entitled to your votes and
should not be permitted to represent
you.
What does it concern you whether a
man calls himself a democrat or repub-
liean9 What you want is results. The
great captains of industry can hardly
be expected to urge you to vote for
anyone, or any policy that will re-
strict immigration or tend to raise
your wages.
But remember God helps them who
help themselves. Say nothing, but
Fvote right. Send someone to congress

one who has told you what he will do,
and how he will do it, and if he fails
to make good, you have the power to
discharge him at the end Of his term,

Whenever controversy arose be-

those two nations would not be per-
mitted to sit.
Under this system each nation could
reduce its army and navy at least
seventy-fve per cent, saving billions of
dollars that could be used to better
the condition of mankind
Politicians have told you that war
is hell, and that it ought to be pre-
vented.
Yet, has anyone told you how he
would prevent it? You have heard
much talk of arbitration, no doubt.
But you canot prevent individual
controversy by arbitration.
You cannot prevent international
controversy by arbitration.
You can prevent individuals from
fighting, by force-its done every day
in our courts.
You can prevent nations from fight
ing, by force-by establishing a court
of last resort with power to enforce
its judgments.
This remedy would absolutely pre-
vent war and there is no question but
what it can be brought about by the
American people if you elect men to
represent you who will seriously under
take it.

For more than twenty years last
past, your congressman has been tell
ing you, about this time of the year,
what he has done for you, and what
he will do for you, if you only elect
him for one more term.
Mr.. Workingman, I ask you. in all
fairness, what has been done for you
in the past twenty years, and if moth
ing has been done in the past twenty
years, what can you expect in the next
two years?
Isn't it about time that you knew
what is going to be done for you, and
how your representative intends to
do it?
Politicians do not tell you how they
intend to do anything. They talk
about protection which only protects
the rich, and try to make you believe
that it protects you.

IF elected to congress I will intro

male emigrant who comes to this

agricultural pursuits for period of at
least five years until he becomes a
full citizen.

But it will cure the greatest evil
Gin my judgment) from which this
country is now suffering-and that is
the custom which all foreigners have
of congregating in our cities, segrega-
ting themselves in certain wards where
they still retain their own language
and customs and wholly neglect to ac-
quire any knowledge of our American
institutions or ways.
You know that until they have re-
nounced all allegiance to their native
country and sworn allegiance to ours,
we can hardly expect them to have
any patriotic feeling for this country.
They are all consumers, none produc-
ers and thereby they raise the price
of life's necessities.
They send enough money back to
the old country each year to keep
every idle American employed at good
wages.

of a number of communications.
1t was voted to secure the lecture
and entertainment put on by the In

ed on the progress of removing un-
slightly trees. At this time of the
year the committee can arrange for
removing such trees for the wood they
contain. Chairman Wellin said his
committee would welcome requests
for this kind of work to be done at
this time.
The fagpole matter will finally
come to a conclusion. The suit for
the old pole which proved worthless,
Club, and no appeal being taken, the
committee is free to go ahead. A pole
will probably be devised that will fit
over the stump of the old one, and
thus obviate the necessity for remov-
ing the foundation of concrete already
put in. The committee believes the
new pole will be in place for Old Glory
to float from by Memorial Day.
