VOTE FOR ISSUE ,
AND VOTE FOR men
Pink Ballot Marked eyes" and X
Opposite the Names of Lobeck
and Calderwood, lnsep-
arabic.

The time is fast drawing to a close
wherein arguments pro and con in
regard to the issues OF this campaign
ana the men to be voted upon are
rendered. Please permit a few words
at this stage Of the game in regard to
the pink ballot. especially in regard
10 what bearing the principle said bal
lot has upon the loyalty OF each voter
or our state and how inseparable
said principle and Hon. E. +. Lobeck
or Alexandria and Hon. w. G. Calder
wood OF Minneapolis, the pioneer au.
thors and champions Of said princi-
pie are.
Fellow voters Of the Seventh Con-
gressional District and those OF Min
nesota about to vote for a progress
s1ve U. IS. Senator for Minnesota: AS
loyal citizens, as citizens determined
10 eliminate waste of fuel and food
stuffs caused by the liquor traffic, as
citizens anxious to remove all causes
OF discomfort to humanity, you have
decided to vote the pink ballot first
and vote it yes a very noble deter
mination, indeed. Not that outer
forces compel you to take this stand
but your desire to do something good.
therefore you have decided to vote
yes" on this pink ballot
The principle OF this pink ballot
has its history, it's craftsmen. pioneer
advocates, in short has some persons
who mnS+ BE GIVEN CREDIT FOR
IT'S Ok1GIN, DEVELOPMENT AND
PRESENT SHAPE; AND LOOKING
AT THE PINK BALLOT THRU
THOSE GLASSES, WE ARE IN
DEBTED TO AT LEAST THESE
TWO MEN. HON. E. E. LOBECK,
CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENTA-.
TIVE FROM THE SEVENTH DIS
ArCT TO CONGRESS AND HON.
w. G. CALDERWOOD OF MINNEA.
POLLS, CANDIDATE FOR U. S. SEN.
ATOR FROM MINNESOTA for the
opportunity given to us at the next
general election to vote the pink bal
lot.
Without the great sacrifice, and be-
ing exposed to dangers in days gone
by, Of these men, you and would not
have had the chance this fall to help
suffering humanity by voting such a
thing as the pink ballot.
Now then, If on the fifth day of
November, when you have voted the
pink ballot and voted it YES, and
turn to vote for men for Congress you
vote for Volstead and Knnte Nelson,
who have never put two sticks across
each other for temperance, are you
loyal? Are you acting according to
sound reasoning? are you logical
person? I say, "No, you are neither
Ry such voting you are saying o. k.
about the fruit of twenty-five to thir-
ty years hard and difficult labor but
as to the laborers, Lobeck and Cal
derwood, NO NOT THEM.
The reason why I write this at this
time is that 1 have confidence in the
ability of the people of the Seventh
Conversational District and State OF
Minnesota to see that voting the pink
ballot YES and voting for Lobeck
and Calderwood are absolutely in
separable. Any other way Of voting
is not logical and is disloyal if Hoover
means anything and requests for the
best interests Of our country when he
asks US to save WHICH THINK HE
DOES. The pink ballot marked YES
anSti1e x opposite the names of 10
heck and CalderwOod cannot be sep
arated for reasons above mentioned.
Yours for men suitable to help us
to make the best Of the new era OF
which we have come to the threshold
of.
