DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES
Political Advertising Authorized by
Democratic County Committee

The Leader calls attention of the
voter to the candidacy of Charles De-
Jean for Member of Assembly. Mr..
DeJean is not an Office seeker and his
candidacy in this campaign is not the
result of his efforts but of the earnest
request of prominent democrats and of
many republicans who want to be as
sured that their representative down
at Madison is man of progressive
views and one who can be depended
upon to look after their interests and
the interests of the common people =
4 the unprecedented of the railroad,
waterpower, insurance and other cor
! poration interests, In selecting can
didate the democrats could not have
made better choice. Mr.. DeJean
has not only the ability for a repre-
sentative, but the honesty to carry
out the wishes of his constituency and
if he is sent down TO the state capital
he can not be bought or in any way
influenced into betraying the folks
back home by going over to the big
| interests
In politics Mr.. DeJean is thoroughly
progressive but in bringing about pro-
gressive legislation he believes in
economy. He believes in fewer COM
missions and that those who serve the
state be worthy their hire. He is in
favor of good roads, but believes the
present system needs correcting, TO a
point where the people get more dirt
| moved for the money, which is by the
contract system. He believes the
present state highway commission sys-
tenn is inefficient and that it should be
| investigated. He believes in equal
taxation and also that il the railroads
| be given the right TO pay their taxes
semi-annually every taxpayer ia ne
state should in fairness be accorded
| the same privilege-in a word he be-
lieves in the cardinal democratic prin-
cipal of''equal rights to all. !" MIR De-
Jean believes that the people should
demand from Office holders practical,
efficient work such as they would do
! for themselves and he is strongly in
favor of shorter sessions of the legis-
| lature
