Some REASONS why
Congressman Edw, D, H
Should be Re-Nominated and Reflect

Mr. Hays defeated "Uncle Joe" Russell for Congress il
when the Republican party had given up hopes OF ever
ing this district. Political courtesy and tairplay endtle
consideration for a second term.
Two years experience in the House Of Representa-
Washington has given Mr.. Hays an acquaintance with r
procedure at the National Capitol which makes it poss
him to do more for the people Of the district than n
could do.
Speaker Gilett, Majority Leader Mondell, Chairman
OF the Invalid Pensions Committee and other prOminer
leaders at Washington commend Mr.. Hays for his faith
and recommend his reelection.
His record on Pension Legislation has proven him tt
friend Of the Civil War Veterans and the Spanish War
Mr.. Hays is ON THE COMMITTEE place much
and hard to get.
In Legislation and in handling personal claims he
the approval Of every World War Veteran.
Our District is now Republican. Let's do our part
that way. Beware Of swapping horses in the middle
stream.
MIR. Hays has we'll earned second term ar
support. Give it to him.
