Offers good road program every
year, and in favor of building roads
now, while the valuations are still up.
Strong advocate of immediate rehab-
ilitation of reforestation and farming
programs which will bring in new
industries and revenue to st. Louis
County.
Jacob L. Pete, during a colorful and
vigorous life, has proven consistently
to be man of, by, and for the
people A family man, minded
citizen, a man of ability, and a man
beloved by his many friends for his
sincerity and his pioneering spirit of
progress for the good of the county,
the state and the nation.
Mr.. Pete has a wide knowledge of
all county affairs. With all the new
laws the county is required to operate
under it would take a new man four
years to know what it is all about. 1t
is more important now than ever
before to have men with experience on
the county board Retain Jacob L..
Pete for County Commissioner.
Surely, with United States engaged
in the most crucial war in its history,
voters must guard against mud-sling-
ing, tricky distortions of facts and
issues, and venal appeals to selfish
interest by candidates for public

to do, any more than many who have
failed to receive all they expected, are
satisfied, but at least he has made an
honest effort to do the best he possibly
could with the finances available. NO
ONE CAN DO MORE: NO ONE WILL
DO MORE in the future.
Mr.. Pete is a friend of organized
labor. He believes in the American way
the local Unions have conducted their
activities. Many times, during the past
years, when Union officials were side
tracked and hearings seemed doomed,
Mr. Pete again, through his courage,
paved the way and saw to it that the
disputes in question and grievances
were corrected. For this reason, high
state and county Union officials have
recognized Mr.. Pete as an outstand-
ing leader.
Other reasons why Mr.. Petes SER
vices, as public servant, should be
retained: A loyal American who served
in the last war and is back of Amer
ica's war effort 100 per cent.
Always fighting for the best inter-
est of the people in the Fourth Dis
trict; understands their problems.
Fought and voted for old age
assistance.
IS per cent of the fourth district
budget was spent within the district
during the last 81 years, and distrib-
uted equally amongst LABOR, FAR
MER and BUSINESS MAN.
Constant fighter for increased funds
within the district and has a record
of getting more money for his district
than any other commissioner.
