FIVE WAYS IN WHICH
DELCO LIGHT INCREASES
FARM EFFICIENCY

1. Work which was formerly accom-
plished by hand can now be done
electrically with current supplied by
Delco-Light. Time and labor are
therefore saved.
2 Delco-Light brings to the farm
all of the modern benefits which
formerly attracted the boys and girls
to the city.
8. Delco-Light solves the retired
farmer" problem, by bringing to the
country home all of the conveniences
of the city.
4. Delco-Light makes the home a
better and more enjoyable place in
which to live. Therefore, everyone
becomes cheerful and contented.
s. By correcting fundamental liv-
ing conditions on the farm, hired
labor is attracted to the farm rather
than to the city.
Delco-Light Saves Time and Labor
Increases Farm Efficiency,
And Pays For Itself.

Dennis For
Rep. Natl Committeeman

Republicans of Oregon have been
| dissatisfied for years with the manner
in which the office of National Com
mitteeman has been handled, and it is
in response to requests from all corners
of the state that 1 ask the support of
party members for this non-salaried
office.
l contend this is a time when the
Republican party should be kept thor
oughly organized in order that loyal
support as a party may be given the
present national administration in all
war work And this should continue
vigorously unless inability is shown
by the party now in power to handle
a situation upon which depends the
life of this nation and the freedom of
our people. If you agree with this
principle, support me, for | sincerely
promise that President Wilson will
have undivided loyalty of the Repub-
lican organization.
In state affairs the Republican party
has been led into the by-paths and
shady hooks by some men who have
assumed leadership, where trading and
trafficking for personal advancement
and ACKNOWLEDGMENT have reflected
upon the party of Lincoln and Grant.
Mckinley and Roosevelt, until it has
been turned into a vehicle for a few
"fixers" causing the great rank and
file of its members to lose interest in
party affairs and shrink from taking
active part in Republican organization
work. This condition should not be
permitted to continue and will not be if
some one is elected as National Com
mitteeman who believes in changing
the Republican organization of Oregon
from II closely woven, personal ma
chine of n few men to a broad, progress
sive and constructive institution in
which every Republican can take part.
The weight of Republican principles
will thea be felt and men for office
will be selected by party members with
great care because of the responsibility
which true Republican principles at
taches to any square dealing citizen.
Colonel Roosevelt is today rightfnlly
the dominant character in the Repub-
lean party and I know that Oregon
Republicans, with possibly a few excep-
tons, agree with me that he is our
greatest statesman, and that his wis
dom in governmental affairs should be
needed by all members of our party.
Should you choose me as your National
Committeeman, Oregon's Republican
organization will have the benefit of
Colonel Roosevelt's counsel and advice,
I ask your support that you and ]
may have a Republican party that is
thoroughly progressive, thoroughly
sincere, thus changing it from a life
less, mamified organization of the few
to a v~irile, active institution of the
many.
