VOTE FOR
WILSON AND MARSHALL,
LEWIS AND ETCHISON,
PEACE AND PROSPERITY.

Two wars are in progress. Either or both
may last four years LONGER. While either
lasts, the peril of war hangs over our land
The man who believes otherwise is living
in fools paradise" The President can
cause war in a day. When war begins.
peace. happiness and prosperity end. We
are opposed to war President Wilson is
opposed to war. Therefore, we say vote
for Wilson. Because Mr.. Wilson has kept
us out of war. we believe he will keep us
out of war. How has he kept US out of
war? By his sublime courage. wisdom,
patience and justice in disposing Of the
many grave and delicate diplomatic ques-
tons that have arisen during his Admins
tration.
Will we have war if Mr.. Hughes is
elected We do not know-we do not know.
We know we are at peace now. We dread
a change Of Administration before the dan
ger of war has passed.
We have prosperity mountain high. What
has Mr.. Wilson to do with thisY He has
kept the peace. Had there been war.
there would have been no prosperity. By
establishing twelve regional banks. he has
hog-tied Wall Street so tight that il cannot
create another panic between now and
kingdom come. He stopped strike that
would have taken from the farmers their
markets, and from the people who live in
cities their food War alone could have
caused greater money loss and more human
suffering than that strike would have caused
had it not been prevented by Woodrow
Wilson.
But Woodrow Wilson cannot pull the
whole load If he is to continue his pro-
gressive and constructive work. he must
have a majority in both the Senate and
House of Representatives in sympathy
with his aims and ideals The indications
are that both Houses Of Congress will be
close. 1t takes but one to make majority.
The success or failure Of Woodrow Wilson's
next administration may depend upon
whether or not you elect David j. Lewis TO
the Senate and II. Dorsey Etchison to the
House Of Representatives. Both Lewis and
Etchison can be depended upon. il elected
to stand by Woodrow Wilson to the finish.
Their nominations are untainted. They
are both capable and honest Lewis is
esteemed as far as parcel can be sent by
post. His service in Congress has been
worth millions Of dollars to those who send,
to those who carry and to those who re-
ceive parcels by post Mr.. Lewis is a self
made man. He is of the highest type Of
American citizenship. By his achieve
ments he has earned the title to your con-
fdence and support. His opponent has
achieved nothing. DR.. France controls
money. He never earned dollar of it,
He has never achieved one thing for the
public good. He was nominated because
he controlled money. Addicks tried to buy
a seat in the Senate from the people of the
little State Of Delaware. He failed. Are
the people of Maryland less patriotic than
the people of Delaware. The Republican
party Of Maryland has many men in its
ranks distinguished for their ability and
patriotism. Why were they passed by and
DIR. France selected The answer is, money
money!
Mr.. Etchison is a resident of our sister
county Of Frederick. He is a capable law
yer and an able speaker. He measures up
to the full stature of Congressman. This
is one Of the greatest Congressional dis
tricts in the Union. In the past we have
sent able men to Congress. There is not a
thoughtful man in this district who does not
know Mr.. Zihlman is too small man for
the job. He is. no doubt. good citizen
and good fellow; but his Creator never
intended him for Congressman. There are
many Republicans of eminent ability who
would like to represent this district in
Congress. In the selection of a candidate,
these men were passed by and Mr.. Zihl-
man was nominated We say Mr.. Etchi-
son ought to be elected both because of his
fitness and because Of Mr.. Zihlman's I'M
fitness.
