VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET

Washington, n,-This is a camnaigr
to terminate One-man government. de-
clares the Republican Publicity AS
sociatiOn, through its president Hon
Jonathan Bourne, Jr., in state
ment issued as follows:
Senator Harding is against one
man government and believes in par
/ ty responsibility. Hence. he would
consult others regarding policies to
be pursued. He would choose a cab-
met OF competent men and make the
the Ylce-president a real factor in
the government. The logic of that
kind of a policy also requires that
II Mr. Harding shall be given author
lty as head of the executive branF.
OF the government he|should also be /
given the cooperation of a Congress
controlled by members of the same /
party.
THE Republican party has declar-
ed in its platform for a return to
constitutional government. which
means recognition of the coordi-
nate status of the legislative branch
OF the government. The Democratic
party by its record, has committed
itself to the domination of Congress-
by the Executive. Voters who believe
in the Constitution and in the prin-
ciples of representative government
and who expect to vote for Mr.. Hard
ing, should also work zealouslv for !
he election of Republicans to tbe +
senate and House of Representatives 7
