ence might have been due to increas-
ing age of the testatrix or the posi-
ton, standing, sitting Or reclining in
which the various documents may
have been written.
Ed Johns. cashier of the Citizens Ma
tional bank. however, testified yester
day afternoon that he was familiar

Now, what more can you trade

you can do some mighty effective
work at the polls on election day. A
good many of you so out and work
your heads off on election day for

that any particular candidate be elect

and city in our state where there are
any unions in existence, an organiza-
ton be effected for poll work. Get
small cards printed bearing instruc-
lions to the voters to vote AGAINST
all the Referendum Measures and the
Constitutional Amendment if they
want to undo the vicious action of
the last Legislature. Put your workers
in every voting precinct to pass out
these cards. Don't overlook a bet
anywhere. We would be a pretty sick
lot of folks the morning after election
if we woke up and found these
measures had passed because We
didn't work the way we should have
done.

dicted that Col. Hartley would be one
of the also rams in the republican
primaries Remember the vote he
got? Every union-hating employer,
every open shopper went to the polls,

pie who fell for his line of chatter and
his widespread publicity.
Moral: Don't stop working against
these measures until the polls close
