THE BEGINNING OF THE
DESTRUCTION OF ALL
AMERICAN IDEALS

That the third party movement,
headed by La Toilette, has not made
any progress during the past two
weeks is due, no doubt, to the fact
that the voters of the country have
awakened to the fact that the third
party has nothing to offer the people
OF the nation except the beginning of
the destruction of all that the citi-
zens of the country hold dear. There
is no doubt that those who love their
country will this year cast record
vote. individuals are not going to
leave to chance the settling of this
most important question. They are
not going to take for granted that
the other fellow is going to vote;
they are going to vote themselves.
They are going to put down once and
for all a movement that would ulti-
mately lead to a condition similar to
that existing in Russia today, for
there is a marked resemblance be-
tween the Soviet government and the
things that the Socialist ticket party
candidate stands for. 1t is believed
by many that La Toilette is being
given moral, if not other aid, by Mr..
Trotsky and his followers. The wo-
men of the United States will never
vote for a condition where a husband
may secure a divorce for the trifing
sum of three rubles and no cause
This strikes at the women and chill
dren of the country. CHRISTIAN people
don't live that way; neither do the
men of the nation believe in that kind
of government. A brief analysis of
the third party platform discloses the
fact that it would take away from
the people their protection in the
courts. 1t would buy public ownership
of railroads which would mean over
100000 additional oficeholders, the
salaries of which the pople of the
country would have to pay in the
shape OF greatly increased taxes. That
would be but the beginning of ma
terial increase in the tax burden. Call
vim Coolidge because they place the
taxes and he will further lessen them.
There. is no doubt that thousands
of patriotic Democrats will,-recog-
nizing the fact that it is impossible
for Mr.. Davis to win,-vote for CAL
vim Coolidge because the yplace the
good Of their country above party.
If the citizens Of the United States
will stop and contrast conditions in
this and other countries, they will
recognize the fact that the United
States is the most prosperous nation
in the world today. In savings banks
alone there is on deposit $4,000, 000,-
600. Somebody must have received
good prices for their labor or their
products. A recent statement by the
American Automobile Association
showed that in the first six months Of
1924 there were 15,552,077 automo-
biles registered in the United States.
This is an increase of 20 per cent over
the corresponding period of year
ago and when one takes into consid-
Grafton that there are only about
100000 people in the United
States, this fact alone indicates that
there has been prosperity somewhere
in our great land
The voters of the country have at
last awakened to the danger that con-
fronts this nation. They realize that
those in charge of the third party
movement are encouraged and aided
by the teachings of Trotsky and other
individuals who seem to have a mania
for destroying, not building. If the
individuals who are not content to
live in this, country where every
child has an opportunity to secure an
education, every father has a chance
to earn for his loved one a good live
lihood; where every mother has an
opportunity to escape the everlasting
toll and other things not mentionable
that exist in Russia today, there is. no
law to prevent them from sailing to
the land where the Soviet government
exists.
