Newark leader. ([Newark, Ohio]) 1917-1946, 1920-10-15
WILLIAM M. MORGAN
The One Hundred Per Cent American
Candidate For Congress
(By John Busn)

onward march Of the rapacious and
greedy capitalists whose selfish aims
take precedence over a desire to ad-
vance the general welfare of this
great nation. The people 'clamor for
a leader great enough to place public
welfare in advance of personal gain,
a man who has the courage to stand
up for what he believes and knows to
be right, and to fight manfully the
great battle to be waged in the inter-
est of humanity and justice.
The ideal man for this important
position has arisen in our midst, a
man whose personal and business
record is without spot or blemish, and
who fears nothing when engaged in
efforts to advance the interests of the
common people. This man is William
M. Morgan, of Newark, candidate for
congress in the 18th district.
1t is regretable today that so many
men have one code for their personal
life, another for their professional
life and purchase and yet another for
their business life. Mr.. Morgan has
but one code, the code of justice, the
code of the Golden Rule, the code of
conscience. What a change would be
wrought in the administration of
Justice if this could be truthfully
said of all men who aspire to office.
Revolutionize through the ballot box
and restore the government once
more to the affections and hearts of
men by making it express, as it was
intended to do, the highest spirit of
justice and liberty is Mr.. Morgan's
expressed view. In his speeches he
puts the purpose of our government
in the following form: "This is essen
TALLY a peoples contest. 1t is a
struggle for maintaining in the world
that form and substance of govern
ment whose leading object is to ele-
vate the conditions of men; to lift
artificial weights from the shoulders,
to clear the paths of laudable pur-
suits for all, to afford all an un-
fettered start and a fair chance in
the race of life" A sentiment more
sound and salutary in the social, in
dustrial and political councils of the
nation today can scarcely be found.
Mr.. Morgan is not man whose
love for office and popularity has de-
graded into a poplitical demagogue,
and unlike many aspirants he is not
discoloring himself in an attempt to
belittle his opponent. every man
is said to have his peculiar ambition"
said Mr.. Morgan, "and whether it be
true or not, l can say for one that
| have no other SO great as that of
being truly esteemed of my fellow
men, by rendering myself worthy of
their esteem. How far l shall sue
ceed in gratifying this ambition is
yet to be developed. | have always
been open and above board; | have
made plain my views, and my case
is thrown exclusively upon the indie
pendent voters Of the district. If
elected they will have conferred a
favor upon me which | shall be un-
renting in my labors to compen-
sate."
Courage under adversely is one of
the most marked and admirable
characteristics of Mr.. Morgan. He is
not stool pigeon or parrot, chained
to a pedestal, that repeats what is
taught him, but having reached a
conclusion through a course of rea-
soning in his own mind he proceeds
to demonstrate the truth and sound
ness of his position in the simplest
terms of speech. There is no one
who better realizes the necessity of
the cooperation between the con-
sumer and producer because he has
occupied both the position of labor
and producer.
The voters Of the seventeenth dis
trict Of Ohio who have not had the
opportunity to hear him speak should
make an effort to hear him, for the
magnanimous thoughts he imparts
relative to the present conditions is
