VOTE FOR issue
AND VOTE FOR MEN
Pink Ballot Marked Eyes" and X
Opposite the Names of Lobeck
and Calderwood, Insep-
arabic.

The time is fast drawing to a close
wherein arguments pro and con in
regard to the issues of this campaign
and the men to be voted upon are
rendered. Please permit few words
at this stage Of the game in regard to
the pink ballot, especially in regard
70 what bearing the principle said bal
lot has upon the loyalty of each voter
OF our state and how inseparable
said principle and Hon. E. E. Lobeck
Iof 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.
gFessional District and those OF Min
nesOta about to vote for a progress.
sive U. IS. Senator for Minnesota: AS
loyal citizens, as citizens determined
to eliminate waste of fuel and food.
stuns 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 1t "yes," 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
ITS OkluIN, DEVELOPMENT AND
PRESENT SHAPE; AND LOOKING
AT THE PINK BALLOT THRU
THOSE GLASSES, WE ARE IN
DEBTED TO AT LEAST THESE
Z TWO MEN, HON. E. E. LOBECK
CANDIDATE FOR REPRESENTA-
TIVE FROM THE SEVENTH DIS.
rAfCT TO CONGRESS AND HON
g w. G. CALDERWOOD OF MINNEA.
POLLS, CANDIDATE FOR U. S. SEN.
ATOR FROM MINNESOTA for the
opportunity given to us at the next
lot.
Without the great sacrifice, and be
ing exposed to dangers in days gone
by. of these men, you and l would not
have had the chance this fall to help
suffering humanity by voting such q
thing as the pink ballot.
4 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 yor
loyal? Are you acting according tt
sound reasoning? are you a logica
person? I say, mo, you are neither.
Py such voting you are saying o. k
about the fruit of twenty-five to thir
ty years hard and difficult labor bu
as to the laborers, Lobeck and Cal
derwood, NO NOT THEM.
The reason why write this at thi'
time is that I have confidence in tn,
ability of the people Of the Seventh
Conversational District and State o
! Minnesota to see that voting the pinl
ballot YES and voting for Lobecl
and Calderwood are absolutely In
separable. Any other way Of voting
Is not logical and is disloyal if Hoove
means anything and requests for tn
best interests of our country when b.
asks US to save WHICH I THINK HI
DOES. The pink ballot marked YES
tarathe K opposite the names Of L0
Theck and CalderwOod cannot be SEP
arated for reasons above mentioned.
Yours for men suitable to help u
to make the best Of the new era o
which we have come to the threshold
