Tuesday ext vii witness the cui-
mination Of the final hattie made hy
the candidates Of the different poiiii-
cal l.ariies Of Is Nation for ihs saf-
frsge Of the voters. whils it i tTBe
that there ara six political parties
with candidates IN the field for Sen
ate and Congress, respectively, cnlY
the candidates Of the two reat poll
teal parties, the Republican and
Demoeraiie.s,will really figure in the
ting.
Owing to the daily newspapers
being filed with war news little no
tice has been given 10 the general
public aboI 1t politics. nevertheless
the candidates have been on the 6r-
log line and every voter by this lime
is thoroughly informed on the vital
Issues in this campaign
The question now up to the voter
- answer by bis ballot, i, whether,
he wants to keep the reins Of 2 ,FeTn-
ment in the Democratic Party with
its record Of promises unfulflled,
with the fruits its policies have yield
cd throughout the country Of bust
ness depression, idle labor, euitsiisd
mark Is, reduced revenues, exfrzya-
giant appropriations, increased trans
portation rates, special, direct and
multiplied taxes, and worst of all,
particularly for the poor man, a high
err cost OF living; or ws.ether he wants
to return to the good old days by re-
turning 10 power the Republican
party under hose regime The peo-
pie Of t is country enjoyed unbound
ed happiness and prosperity, when
mills and factories we're running day
and niShs from one end of the year
to the other; when lAboring men al
ways found work a. remuaeratiTe
wages; when we had good markets
fos our produce -aised on the farm
aud wien we received under a pro-
teciive tariff revenue enough 10 sas-
tain our government without the
necessity Of the passage Of an income
tax law and a so-calls d @Wsr Tax
Levy in the time Of peace The
records of the parties 50 far as to the
material welfare Of the people,are %
well known, and Knowing them Is
they do we cannot see how any
voter who uses his own common
sense and gaod Judgment can do
otherwise thaE support the candi-
dates Of the Republican party. Ia
the last national campaign the most
solemn Promise made to the people
by the Democratic Party was that
they would reduce the high cost OF
living. Have they done thiss No.
Rather than seing reduced since thas
party has been in power it has in
creased. The consumer doesn't have
to have stump speakers TO tell them |
or newspapers either; they find it on
every day when purchasing food ana
clothing for their families.
The Republican Party never had
in rs history to pa,s an income tax
law or so-called war tax levy 70
make up any DEFICIENCIES in the reve-
nues = sustain oul government.
In view. therefore, of the facts
above, We urge every voter in the
coming election to vote for Edward
&. Darlington. Jr- for the United
States Senate, and Sydney E. Mudd,
for Consress- We urge all voters to
support Messrs. Darlington an d
Mudd, beesuse they represent the
principles and policies that are bes.
for the materi4l welfare of the coun-
try. They are standing on a pro
tectiye tariff platform which means
protection and rosperity throughout
the country, ar d which iuIther msans
happiness in every home and peace
throughout our land.
