THINK-THEN VOTE FOR BOB
LA TOILETTE

That the Democratic camp is badly
wrought up and thoroughly scared by
the handwriting on the political wall
is again evidenced by the editorial
from the Akron Times, under the cap
ton of "For La Toilette Men to Think
About" which appeared in the New
ark Advocate last Friday night.
The article, which is somewhat
lengthy, starts as follows:
"We have profound regard fol-
the exceptional qualities Of Senator
La Toilette. He is man of remark
able intellectual attainments; he IS
sincere; he has great courage. we
refuse to accept the absurd propaa-
ganda of the reactiOnaries that he Is
out to wreck business and tear the
foundations of the government asun-
der. We believe that he is honestly
and at a considerable strain upon has
physical powers trying to do what ne
thinks is best for the people.
Owe do not believe it is possible fol-
Senator La gillette to be elected IN
spite Of the very apparent popular
swing in his favor. His following Is
surprisingly large-dazingly so to the
cid party elders-but it is too widely
scattered and too little concentrated
in vital spots to count effectively IN
the electoral college"
Following the statement that La
Toilette IS "a man OF remarkable IN
teuectual atUalnmentS' and that MS
following is unusually large comes
q nu.nLeI OF alleged reasons why II
is impossible to eject hlln. chief o'
which is his inability to secure the
REQUIRED number OF votes IN the eIec-
toraI college. The writer Of the ar
tcle also displays an unusual amount
OF soncltude over the condition OF
Senator La / olette S health and fears
that if he should be elected he Will
not have the physical strength TO
cope with the pressure OF the FfeSI-
dency."
brother, don't let the fear that the
age or physical powers Of the grand
sturdy war horse who has fought fol
the lights OF the people, in season
and out of season, for upwards OF a
Quarter Of century, will prevent has
filling the office of President of these
II q
deter you or anybody else from cast
ing your ballot in his favor. Rest
assured that if elected and he can
be elected, he will be President in all
that the term implies, and not mere
puppet Of Wall street and the moneo
gang.
Of course the Akron Times states
man devotes most of his floWery ar
ticle to alleged reasons why DAVIS
shold be voted for, and judging from
the straw vote so far gathered by the
Literary Digest, that gentleman Will
have to go some to get better than
third place in the race. His record
as representative Of some Of the
great union hating, wealthy and pow
erful corporations will not increase
his popularity among the toiling
masses.
To a certain extent "Silent Cal" is
an unknown quantity, but is generally
admitted that even should he be sue
cessful in the contest, his side part
ner, HELM Maria Dawes will be the
real power behind the throne and die
tate the policy persued by his chief
and Dawes reputation is a striking
proof Of what that would mean.
"Let La Toilette men think" is a
good motto and should bear fruit.
Yes, let them think about what he
has done in the past, and what he
has promised to do in the future if
given the opportunity. And that he
will redeem these promises is beyond
question.
The wonderful unprecedented wide
spread popularity Of Mr.. La Toilette,
which is spreading over the country
like wildfire, has brought dismay and
terror to the hearts Of his enemies,
and although they ridicule and be
little his prospects of success, they
know and fear there is more than a
possibility of his election.
Let US make that possibility a GER
tainty by prompt and united action.
1t can be done. The prospects are be
coming brighter every day If we all
work increasingly until the polls close
on November 4th we will win our
fight and see a man not controlled
by any gang or clique installed into
the highest office within the gift Of
the people of the greatest nation on
earth.
