largest community Of the District,
where OH peace-time basis 5000 men
will find employment, whose incomes
will apply on the lives and happiness
of at least $4,000 people. He is |
pledged to work for the development
Of 40-ft. channel approaching the
unsurpassed terminal and waterfront |
fac titles Of Charleston, thereby guar
antceing an early reality of the city's !
plan to make that port one of the !
greatest OH the Atlantic Coast. A |
healthy commercial condition in the
port of Charleston will naturally af-
wants men to have every opportunity |
for honest labor with just compen-
sation so that homes may be happy,
children properly clothed and fed,
bills paid, money put away for a rainy
day, and everybody satisfied. He
wants business and commercial houses
20 have the same large opportunities
that are found in other places. He
is absolutely pledged to the support
of every federal measure to offer the
greatest advantages through the pub
lie school to the children of today.
For that reason he is publicly and
forcefully advocating the Sterling
Towner Bill, which is the greatest
piece of educational legislation ever
offered to any government anywhere
in the world. 1t guarantees the exis-
tence and extension of that truly
American institution, the Public
School, by offering to grant the states
One Hundred Million Dollars annually
for their own use in their own way in
the development of the public schools.
The Republican congressional can
didate stands four-squarc for the
American Public School.
The fifth plank in his platform is
, "That the South is entitled to
square deal" He is singularly fitted
to make this declaration, having been
a resident of other great sections of
the country, and has seen their de-
velopmcnt under proper conditions.
few days ago he made the public
statement, that "to me the South rep
rescnts the greatest possibilities of
any section of these great United
States. "IIe means every word. Years
ago Horace Greeley used to tell en-
terprising young men to "Go West"
| but Mr.. Blomgren is absolutely con-
vinccd that the best advice today is
"Go South" He is pledged to secure
square deal for the South. The
great South has never had fair
chance in the last forty years. The
reason is sclf-evident. 1t has always
been solidly democratic in it's politics.
Whenever therefor the Democratic
Parry has been in political power in
Washington, little or nothing has
been done by way of federal aid, be-
cause the leaders Of the party always
t"it, eve won't have to do anything
Tor the South; it's always with us any :
now And when the Republican
Party has been in power, it's leaders
:;,;ia heretofore, owe never have any
Representation from the South; we
don't have to give anything" There
has been one exception to this prac-
tlce as far as this district is concern
ed; that was when Republican Con-
gress gave the Navy Yard to Char
lesion. The greatest opportunity in
many years is offered the First Con-
gressional District to get square
deal from Washington through the
election of Republican congressman,
who will have moral and political
right to ask Republican Congress
under a Republican Administration to ;
give this district it's share of federal !
assistance. Mr. Blomgren is pledged
to protect and develop the interests !
of the farmers of the district. This
present administration has mighty
program to assist the farmer, and !
This district needs y rnnrnsrnto t;vn ~
the right political relations to .aru,o
