cleaner record than Mr.. Robb during
the eight years he was a member Of
Congress. On all occasions he stood
firm with his party, never hedging or
Sinking duty.
To nominate the strongest man for
office is the duty Of the Democrats at
the primary election August 1, 1916.
This is not The time to nominate men
who in the hour OF our countrys
greatest necessity line themselves up
against the real issue and showed by
their vote u divided force. This is not
the time to nominate men who play
petty politics for personal gain, not
men whose record must be explained
or apologized for. But we must nom
mate men with a clean personal and
party record; men who can carry the
banner Of Democracy to victory; men
Of strong character and broad mind
Mr.. Robb, who is running for Con-
gress, is that class of man. To prove
that he is a strong man we need only
to refer TO each election at which he
was a candidate. He always ran
ahead Of his ticket Even ia the land
slide when he went down TO defeat he
polled 346 more votes than he re-
caived in 1902 when he was elected by
plurality Of 1649 votes. Mr.. Robb
is the man to nominate for Congress
he is absolutely honest, and is right
on all great questions,
Mr.. Robb is man Of great ability,
a forceful and fearless DICTATOR, hon
est and conscientious in the discharge
of his official duties and honest in
his dealings with his fellow-men. His
record is a clean one. He is 4 plain,
unassuming man, and being such he
is naturally deeply interested in the
cause of the great army of common
eminent as well. He is a Democrat of
people, and The welfare Of the gov
the type Of jefferson and Jackson-a
firm believer in the doctrine of
Equal Rights to All and Special
Privileges to None" It has been the
writer's good fortune to have known
him for Is years, and to have lad the
pleasure Of watching the greater part
of his official career and he can testi-
fly that bis record is one that not only
Mr.. Robb, but his friends, can point
to with pride. Mr., Robb is the man
to nominate for Congressman and the
man who will lead the Democracy of
this district to a triumphant victory
November next,
Mr. Robb is in accord with Presi-
dent Wilson'S policies for prepared
ness for the proper defense and pres
ervation Of our own government and
the peace and liberty of our people.
He says he believes in peace, com

nations, entangling alliances with
none; in supporting the wise, states-
manlike and patriotic policies Of Pres
