of the real statesman.
BECAUSE he is worthy and in
every way peculiarly fitted for the
office.
BECAUSE the district needs as it's
representative a man that is young,
active, vigorous, courageous and
possesses the ability equal to the re-
spOnsibility of the office.
BECAUSE he is Of the people and
his sympathies and interest are
identified with his district and he
knows the needs Of his constituency.
BECAUSE in him the district
would have representative who
could in any crisis take care of the
interest of his constituency on the
floor Of the house in debates or other
wise without having to depend rpon
colleagues.
BECAUSE this great district. on
account Of it's prestige, Importance,
and culture is entitled to a congress-
man whose ability, elouuence and
craftsmanship makes him worthy of
the mantle of Griggs or Roddenbery.
BECAUSE he stands for those
pohcles OF government that means
the making lighter the burdens of
the common people and would take
up the work along this line where
the late Judge ROddenbery left it off.
BECAUSE he fayors a complete
separation Of Church and State. and
pledges himself to oppose vigorously
any effort on the part of any church
organization looking to the encroach-

BECAUSE he favors restricted i'm
migration. This is ii party pledge
that he asks to be carried out. He
opposes the permitting to enter the
united States unlimited hordes of
irresponsible foreigners who NAV
defy our laws and contaminate our
society and civilization, and impair
the opportunity of our laboring peO-

BECAUSE he opposes and would

that has been the means of pouring
billions of dollars of the peoples
money into the pockets of the north

soldiers have been impoverished by
this graft
BECAUSE he favors a reasonable
preparedness to protect the nations
dignity and honor but opposes the
pOlcy OF government that would
spend billions of dollars for war
measures that would serve to bring
war for the common people to fight
Whlle the munitions manufacturers
and other interests would be safe
from the firing line and make further
fabulous fortunes from the blood of
the less fortunate who carry the ma
lions burden and fight it's battles.
BECAUSE he favors the enlargn-
ment Of the rural route service in
every county in the district until the
remote sections of every county has
Oeen reached, and he favors the use
OF the $4,000 per year saved the
government by the recent re-arrange-
ment of routes for enlargement of
the service, instead Of using this
money for the payment of pensions
to carriers who are displaced by the
re-arrangement of routes,
BECAUSE he believes that public
once is a public trust and that the
functions of congressman are not
limited to the distribution of patron
age and the exchange of pork barrel
courtesles on the part OF members of
congress. He maintains that while
every congressman should look we'll
