COUNTRY NEEDS
NC0NGRESS NOW
Julian A. Abbott, Democrat,
Tells Why He Favors
Election of Republic
an Candidate.

Notwithstanding the plea put up
by the democratic machine bosses,
Julian A. Abbott, in the real estate
business in the Patterson block, is
one democrat who believes A. w. JEFF
ferris should be elected to congress.
Il am democrat" says Mr.. Abbott,
land have lived in Omaha most of my
life. l have seen this city grow from
mere village to a metropolitan city.
1t has been great place in which
to live and transact business but it
has a greater future and it is incum-
bent upon US, who have made the
fight for its development, to see that
it continues to grow and prosper. l
believe that it is very important that
we have a representative in congress,
who is able to properly represent our
people and to bring to the attention
of the country our great resources.
One of the Strongest.
II consider Jefferis one of the
strongest men that could be sent to
congress from this district. He is
representative Of our people and
our city. He possesses the talent that
is essential to make a record in con-
g~ess and to bring to this district
its just rewards. l have been. &C
quainted with Jefferis for great many
years and he has been consistent
booster and friend of this city and
state. He is big hearted fellow and
in close touch with various elements
of our people. | predict his election
by large vote, and he will soon take
his place in congress as leader and
I feel sure that we will all be proud
of him as our congressman. He is a
true blre American and patriotic. He
will grow with our city and state and
bring to the nation strong support
in the days that are to come after the
war is won.
No Time for Weaklings.
1T is no time to elect inferior men.
The life of the country is at stake and
we must draft our real big men for
public service. Jefferis is the man.
He will help win the war and help
ave the nation"
