He explains
This phas OF radio, which has
been developing Tor several years,
came out fully during the presiden.
tial campaign
"The people actually knew their
candldates-by car. They became
not only familiar with their politics
and policies, but came 10 know them
personally thru their voices.
This radio intimacy. brought out
by the election. is now a factor in all
listening-in. Suppose a man tells Of
his experiences in exploring the
Arctic. his radio audience not only
learns OF the experiences, but be.
comes personally acquainted with
the men who had them.
Election at Home
The election also brought out tho
fact that radio is really coming into
its own.
Just how many sets there are in
the country is impossible to estimate
accurately. The most conservative
guess runs around five million.
Consider that several people listen
in on almost every set, and you can
form some idea Of what this means.
Millions turnout the country were
familiarizinE themselves with the
various campaign issues in their own
homes.

and is enthusiastic over the outlook
for the entire ticket Colonel Means
states that the Republican protective

lie the necessity Of rc-electing Cool

Col Means made seven speeches on
the Western Slope as well as visiting
the majority Of the cities. and was ac-
corded an enthusiastic reception
wherever he went. He is now on

REMEMBER IMPORTANCE
OF CASTING YOUR VOTE

Are you a thoughtful voter? The
most important thing you will have to
do this fall will be to vote. Its import
ance should not be overlooked and
you should have begun preparing for
the work several weeks ago. 1t is not
too late now, however. Study the
questions of the day; study the men
who are candidates and determine
which men you are going to support
Then vote and get your family to vote
and get your neighbors to vote.
Register an opinion at the polls on
November 4. If you do not you are
not a patriotic citizen of the United
States.
Il don't take any interest in poll,
tics" is the plea of so many, especi-
ally so many women. They say it with
kind of pride, as it We're a sign of
refinement or a sign that they are
''just old fashioned women" separated
from all this modern talk and inter
est, devoted to home, etc. Such a
pose is to be discouraged. 1t is a
disgrace rather than a mark of dis
IilSllOh " ldhe no interest III poll
tics" You do not need to take an
interest in politics but you should
take an interest in voting and in vot-
ing intelligently.
You are interested in your country,
it is supposed. you are interested in
your family and your success and you
do not want these things to be govern
ed by people you do not know and do
not know your needs. Help run your
country by voting at the coming
election. Vote as you please, but
vote. ~

THE RECORD OF
THE SUPREME COURT

From 1889 to 1924 the Congress OF
the United States passed 49,457 bills,
which thus became laws.
OF all this number Of laws. the Su-
preme Court of the United States de.
clared 80 unconstitutional.
In some Of these decisions # is now
clearly recognized that the Supreme
Court acted in defense of fundamental
rights Of citizens, the states and the
nation. In others, the result was
amendment Of the Constitution to
meet the situation.
And this is the menace" the La
Follette-Socialists would destroy by
tearing down every barrier elected be-
tween legislative bodies and the rights
of the citizen, the nation and the
states; between tyranny and liberty.
so that no citizens rights would be
free from invasion from any majority,
or combination Of minorities in Con
gress, or from any tryant who might
succeed to the Presidency.
