THIS CAN BE- DONE
FOR GOOD TIMES"
MICHIGAN VOTERS CAN ASSIST
PRESIDENTS APPEAL.
AT ELECTION IN SPRING
An OId-Time Republican Majority In
Michigan This Year Will Give AS
surance Of an Early Return to All
the Better Accompaniment of Re-
publican MANAGEMENT


surance Of an Early Return to All
the Better Accompaniment of Re-
publican Management.
Through recent months and weeks
continued appeals have been made to
the editors of newspapers and to bust
ness men in all sections to do what
they could in the way of creating con-
fidence and of insisting upon the re-
turn Of our country to business and
commercial hopefulness and to in
dustrial activity.
Most of these appeals have come
from Washington. From time to time
the Secretary of the Treasury and
the Secretary of Labor have sent out
special communications advising and
urging that We were just on the eve
of a return to good times and that
very soon all the whistles would be
blowing and all the bells a-ringing,
sounding forth the glad anthem of
national prosperity.
All of which has been very well
so far as it could go.
But national prosperity has evil
IDENTIFY not been subject to appeals
from Washington. In any event, the
whistles and the bells have not yet
sounded in any remarkable celebra,
ton of the return Of good times.
But it is certainly true that so far
as individual and organized action
can effect such result it is the duty
of all of our people to strive for the
restoration Of confidence, the revival
of hopefulness and the return of good
times.
And here in Michigan there will
soon be an opportunity for united ac-
tion in behalf of the return of pros
perity and for an expression that will
be statewide and splendidly repre-
sentative.
If the people of this state and Of
our entire country could at this time
be assured of the return of the Re-
publican party to power next year the
appeals from Washington for conf
dence and hopefulness would soon be
met with cheering response.
Business conditions of today are
very greatly influenced with reference
to the expectations Of tomorrow and
Of next month and next year.
Property values are governed by
prospects and probabilities as to fu-
ture changes and prospective growth.
If it can be made certain that at
the earliest opportunity the govern
ment of our country will return to
Republican policies and Republican
management, change for the better
will take place in the outlook of mil
lions of our citizens, and in thousands
of stores and shops and on countless
nd nv GTnc In
Of every state in the Union. There
will be expressions of gladness where
doubt has prevailed, and there will
be hopefulness and better expectation
where there has been waiting and the
tagging movements Of distrust.
1t is the direction one is going and
their certain destination quite as much
as the distance and the date of their
arrival that gives enjoyment to the
journey.
Republican victory in Michigan at
the coming April election will be the
beginning of a very desirable end.
1t will be reassuring TO Republicans
in every other state it will be the
best answer that could possibly be
made to the pathetic appeals for "bet-
ter times" that are coming from
Washington.
No matter to what party you have
heretofore been allied with, on the
first Monday of the coming month
assist in sending a message from
Michigan that can only be interpreted
as an intention on the part of the
people of this country to return to a
period Of confidence and contentment.
to assured Republican progress and
prosperity.
