POLITICAL.

TOMEN WHO THINK!
For weeks your intelligence has been insulted by
false statements contained in page advertisements paid
for by the Republican National Committee and by mem-
bers Of the Republican Old Guard who waxed fat under
a Republican tariff that worked all the time for their Re-
publican pocketbooks and against yours.
These high priests of special privilege are trying to
make you forget.
They want you to forget that they themselves yer
responsible for the Republican panics, the inevitable re-
suits of years under Republican tariAs-the panics OF
1873, 1893, 1903, 1907, and 1913.
They want you to forget the want, the misery, the
despair caused by these Republican panics!
They want YOU to forget the strikes and lockouts at
Homestead, at Paterson, at Lawrence, at Fall River, at
Cripple Creek, at Wilkesbarre under Republican rule.
They want you to forget the days when Republican
tariffs worked with machinelike precision, when men
and women who longed to do right were driven to acts
of desperation in order to keep body and soul together.
Or---If You Will Remember
They hope by talking of business disaster and unemployment to
make you afraid to vote as your conscience and common sense dictate
FOR PRESIDENT WILSON.
But facts knock their misstatements cold.
If there was the slightest danger of a business let-up following
the return of peace,
Would Henry Ford, a Republican and head Of an industry en-
ploying $4,000 men, be supporting President Wilson?
Would George F. johnson and H. B. Endicot, of The Endicott-
johnson Company, Republicans and owners Of the largest shoe man.
ufactory in the world, be supporting President Wilson?
Would Isador Jacobs, Independent and President Of the Califor-
MIA Canneries Company, the largest concern of its kind in America, be
supporting President Wilson?
Would F. D. Underwood, Republican and President of the Erie
Railroad, be supporting President Wilson?
Would Thomas A. Edison, Republican, the worlds greatest in.
ventor and employer of thousands of men, be supporting President
Wilson?
Would the Iron Age, in its November, 1915, issue, say:
"The pig iron market of the pas; two weeks is practically with
out q parallel in the experience of presentday producers. The ad-
vances are unprecedented, in being due, not to a camorous demand
for iron for quick shipment, as in all previous excited markets, but to
q simultaneous effort of buyers to cover far forward requirements
in MANY cases through the second half of 1917"
If you want War and Panics,
Vote for Hughes with Roosevelt.
