STRONG FOR SANDERS

X YOU LISTEN III The SONGS OF LITTLE BIRDS
who sing in the secret chambers of thought you will
hear medley of tunes that are full of harmony You
may hear frog croak once in while, but the note is
mOnotonous with its sameness and reminds one of the
darkness of the swamp and the mildew of unlighted
corners
The little birds are singing 81 Y"
We believe the people of the state are ready to
knowledge the value of Mr.. Sanders services We be-
ieve there is fuller realization of the great need of
master mind in the Senate than at any period for long
tme and that is needed who can not only think
but who express his thoughts in forcble and com
prehensible Of all the speakers who recently
stmped the state none more popular than Mr. San
ders none drove home his arguments with force
none had arguments of greater strength. The people
focked to hear him and they went away impressed with
what they had heard and full of admiration for the
speaker.
Now the sounds of reason have sensitive affinity
to facts The jazz might be great music you were half
starved and Beautiful Snow" might make you shed
tears in summer time, but neither would you to
change your views the amenities of life. These are
not frivolous statements. They are illustrative. Mr.
Sanders possesses magnetism that his reasoning
to connect with something in your system that holds it
long enough to be absorbed and permanently fixed You
become convert to his views without effort because he
is forcefu and logical With craftsmanship such posi-
bes as these of too much value to the people to be
thrust aside unrewarded
We are for Mr. Sanders for the Senate We believe
his selection will be credit to the state and give stand
ing at Washington and believe such service he can
give us will be greatly needed in the next few years.

TRYING TO Guido OTHERS

AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING FROM A
"A peculiar disease-an Unsuitable craving for the lux
uries of life.
Time was when if we had good home, plenty to eat,
and to wear, and Of recreation and enjoyment
were cOntented and happy
But not
The more we get the we want, and the more
we want the more feverish our efforts to get it.
We never have enough-are never satisfied
our neghbor has car, we long for one just little
better.
If Jones has house of beauty Smith wants one of
grandeur and magnificence.
If Mrs Smith is at the head of the social whirl Mrs.
Jones is not satisfied until she has supplanted her.
IF one man is termed leading citizen, dozen
others will aspire to the honor.
An abundance of the necessities of life is not enough
We must havethe uxures both for pleasure and
to oushine other people. And the list Of fes uxies is
SO long and varied that man woman has ever
been known to reach the end
Millions of people forego many of the necessities Of
life in order to bask in the meght of luxury. They are
lavish in adjoining their persons and their surroundings
at the expense of their somachs They enjoy the tnse
of life and endure the prvations necessary in order to
satisfy their vanity.
The age of sanity is disappearing.
That of frivolity is here.
Modern day luxury is considered blessing. In real
y it is more of course because do not realize when
economy ends and extravaganza begins.
