C. E. Franklin for Congress

Hon. C. E. Fraklin, of Ponto-
toe, has decided to yield to the
solicitation of his many friends
and comes before the voters as a
candidate for Congress from the
forth district.
Mr.. Franklin is an eX-news-
paperman of broad ideas and
constructive ability as a states
man as we'll as along many other
lines. AS a member of our State
Senate, he was the author of the
Uniform Text Book Bill and the
Agricultural High School Bill,
two of our good laws.
In making his announcement,
he declares for Peace, Prosper
ity and Preparedness" Peace
with honor; Prosperity with all
business big, little and medium
handed a fair deal so long as
they deal fairly; and Prepared
ness as the only safegard for
our future peace and prosperity.
He is an admirer of our great
President whom he recognizes as
a man with few equals and no
superiors. On the stump he will
advocate government aid for
good roads; rural credits, giving
the farmers the privilege Of
cheap money on long time pay
ments; and prohibition county
wide, statewide and nation
wide.
Among other things, he will
favor the selection of Post
Masters by the patrons of the
office; the extension of Rural
Service with better pay for the
carriers; more adequate shipping
facilities; a more perfect income
tax law; and. with his county,
rotation in Office.
Mr.. Franklin offers his SER
vices to the people with the
assurance that he will be on the
job and give to the district the
very best that in him lies.
Think we'll when you come to
make up your ticket and give
his claims such consideration as
his ability and fidelity to duty
merit, ignoring those who would
make of the voters but spokes in
the wheels of a well oiled politi-
cal machine. Simply study the
men and the measures they
advocate and vote as your con-
science dictated. Be a sorveign
voter, not a political tool.
