red" again by the present Repub- ,
!lcan administration. Taylor was .
here all the time. If you want 4o i,
say that Taylor is a political boss
which he isn't-but a man WORKING
for the best interests of the noo7 !
ple-well and good. Which wouId
you rather have-Taylor and econ
omy and lower taxes-or Powers
French and the rest of their gang
and wantOn spending of public
moneys with attendant higher tax
es. | ask yOu-which would Won
rather have?
All these smoke screens put ont
by the Republican party today
mean nothing to me. | know NV
taxes are going up and my income
IS growing less and | know your
taxes are going up and that your
income is about cut in two this I
year. | may be a dub" but | am
certain of that fact. Smoke screens
like Taylor and his financial deal
ings mean nothing to me, but they
on the other hand make me sus-
picious. You ask suspicious of
what? Well I'll explain.
In the late war smoke screens
were used for concealing the
movements of the opposing armies.
The smoke screen was used to
prevent the opposition from look
ing into the inner workings of
the opposing armies. If an army
wished to conceal something from
the enemy they threw up a smoke
screen.
Thus it is with the republican
administration today. If they can
persuade you to look at something
else besides their record, they hope
to inveigle you into again placing
them in power. They know if you
stop and consider their record, and
look at your tax statement, com
pairing it with the farmers admin
istratiOn that they are lost.
/ Therefore, the smoke screen.
But, you know l just can't get
away from facts. Hot air and gas
may work good in a balloon, but
Pm no balloon. Concrete facts are
what interest me. How about
you?
The things / am interested in
in the coming election are matters
which affect me as a citizen and {
taxpayer. | believe we should
elect those who will give US the
most economical administration
the best police protection for oul
homes, children and business en-
terprises, a county attorney whC
will not be swayed by pOlitica
and personal prejudices. Our vot,
should also be a protest agains
present conditions which allow
one class Of people to be in wan
while another class composed O
very few peOple) wallow in wealth
Maybe this is unreasonable OF
my part. Perhaps we should vot
on smoke screens, what do yOl
think about it.
Your vote next Tuesday will
;; tell. l can hardly believe that tn
! people of Sheridan county will Civ
: a vote of confidence to the Repub
lican administration by electini
). their ticket to office. 1t seems i'm
: possible to me that after the dis
o play of wasteful extravaganza
e which called for over a quarter o
e million dollars in taxpayers none
e next year that those responsible
for such an outlay should be re
y turned to office. 1t seems impos
n sible to me that farmers receivin
o around so cents for wheat an
I paying practically war prices flo
1 what they have to buy would SUI
5, port anything that savored of Re
/ publicanism.
% With as fine a set of Farmer
/ Labor candidates that ever ran fo
n office in this county pledged t
y economy and faithful performanc
e of their duties, / cannot and wi
It not believe that the citizens {
p this progressive county can
IS fooled by smoke screens abou
s Taylor or anyone else.
! Let US show the Republican
) and those who are getting theil
/ from the Republican administr;
g ton next Tuesday that we, tt
y taxpayers of this county, are vo
II ing for our own interests NJ
IS theirs, and give a veritable lanc
'e slide to the Farmer-Labor fore,
y that will prove a lesson to higl
y binders for many years to come.
p I'll see you at the polls me-
lie Tuesday.
