Of the machinery used in American

Possession of these patterns gave
Japan the power to duplicate the
American factories, an almost in

NEW YORK, April 3.-A call for

that at least $500 are out of work.
AS the season for road shows is
nearing an end, 1t is estimated that
the number Of unemployed soon
will run as high as 5000. They
will be concentrated in this city.
BAD business, high railroad rates,
excessive expenses and the contro-

are cited as reasons for the large
number Of unemployed. Ordinarily,
dozens of spring and summer shows

Announcement

/ wish to announce to the voters of
Eagle River and vicinity that I will
appreciate their Endorsement and sup
at the election November 4th.
Having received the Progressive Re
publican denomination by majority
of over eight thousand votes, pre-
sumo to hope for a like expression
from the people who vote in the Gen.
eral election.
My Democratic opponent seeks t
profit by the campaign made by Mr..
Nye, my reactionary opponent in the
Primary, by charging me with failure
to vote on four of the three hundred
measures acted upon by the last Con-
gress. Congressional records show his
statement to be false and that | did
vote on Agricultural Relief and Immi-
grafton and appeared before the hous
committee in favor Of the Postal Sal
ary increase But what really concerns
my present opponent and his hackers
is not my failure to vote on some bills
but the work that did and the votes
that / cast upon measures he does not
mention
Both these opponents by their fail
ure to raise a single issue thereby en-
dorsed all of my records and votes in
the last Congress.
My opponent says in his published
announcement that he. is Progressive
and that he is proud of his loyalty and
support for John w. Davis. He appeals
| to the Republican voters to split then
ballots and vote for him because he
has always been loyal to the Demo
cratic party. He says not word about
being loyal to the people of this Dis
| trict or in the nation. | shall if elected
November 18th continue to place my
| loyalty to the people of this District
ahead of my loyalty to any political
party so controlled and dominated by
monopoly and graft as to constitute
| misrepresentation and oppression.
The National G. 0 P. spent hun
dreds of dollars to defeat me in the
Primary.
The National Democratic Party is
evidently doing the same thing in the
general election. You, Mr. Cadigan, as
their candidate have failed to oppose
or question a single vote made by me
in Congress.
