EMPTY DINNER PAIL
4 PAINFUL REALITY
The Tens of thousands of Working
men out Of Employment Confirm it.

One explanation of the remarkable
showing the registration figures for the
Sixth Congressional District make is a
showing of a large majority for the
Republican ticket can be found in the
TACT that THE Empty Dinner Pail
Makes Republicans Hustle This
tells the whole story. There is but one
explanation of this exceptional Repuoli-
can gain-there can be but one inter-
probation of this unusual circumstance
THE Empty Dinner Pail Makes Re-
publicans Hustle"
1t is safe to assume, also, that not
all of these Republicans have always
voted the Republican ticket, and that
some of them have registered as Re-
publicans for the sole reason that they
may consistently vote for the Republi-
can candidate for congressman this
year. They have observed the failure
of the Democrats to make good their
ante election promises of two years ago
that they would give the country i'm
proved conditions. They have witness
ed the futile efforts of the Democratic
congress and the Democratic president
to continue the prosperity the country
was enjoYing-that the country always
enjoys-under Republican regime.
and they have concluded to do their
part at the November election to bring
about return of that prosperity just
as quickly as it can possibly be done,
and they are going to begin right away.
The voters of Garrett county and
Western Maryland are not going to be
confused by any prismatic halo the
Democratic cabinet members may place
over the alabaster brow of the Demo-
cratic congressman from the Sixth
District; they are not going to be again
lulled into quiescent condition by such
claptrap as washington Needs Mr..
Lewis" They are not going to allow
either Secretary of State William Jen-
nings Bryan, Postmaster General
Burleson, Secretary of Labor Wilson or
anyone else, whether he wears the Ad-
ministration purple or not mot ex-
GLIDING Mr.. Lewis mmself,) to divert
them from the commonsense viewpoint
of the situation. They know that the
essence of this campaign is contained in
these questions which they will insist
upon having answered.
Has the Democratic party in the
two years of its ascendancy kept the
dinner-pail full-with the aid of Con-
gresham Lewis?
HAS the Democratic party brought
about the employment of the idle work.
men of this country with the aid of
Congressman Lewis?
Has the Democratic party fulfilled
the much-heralded promise to reduce
the prices of the necessities OF life
has it reduced the high cost of living
with the aid of Congressman Lewis?
Has the Democratic party i'm
proved conditions to the point where
increased wages to the workingmen is
possible with the aid of Congressman
Lewis?
Has the Democratic party lighted
the furnaces, or has it banked their
fires; has it enlarged the markets of
the home manufacturer and producer,
or has it curtailed them; has its re-
vised tariff law brought in sufficient
revenue for the legitimate expenses OF
the Government, or does deficit stare
US in the face; and isn't a hundred
million dollar war tax knocking at the
door-and all this with the aid of Con-
gresham Lewis?''
This is why the voters of Garrett
county have come out during the reg
istration days to get their names on
the books as Republicans, and this is
why they intend not only to register,
but to vote on election day-and vote
for the Republican candidate for con-
gress-Hon. F. N. Zihlman-a party
and candidate in whom they can have
the fullest confidence; in whom they
have heretofore placed their trust and
have never had their trust betrayed,
Nothing is so poetical to make Re-
publicans hustle as the empty dinner
pail; the empty dinner pail is making
others besides Republicans hustle this
year, at that. They want no repetition
of Democratic failure and incompetency.
They intend to take no chances for
a continuance of Mr.. Lewis and the
empty dinner pail.
"Zihlman and Prosperity" is the
music to which they are marching to-
ward the ballot box this year.
