who have plenty of money to
spend.
Too many of our politicians are

Smitty, in the meantime, has been
contributing his time and efforts
in civic and welfare work. He has
already demonstrated how a pub

in these war days. It doesn't take
him long to tell you what the
score is" especially when some
of those buddies of his are home

There is nothing of the military

Myron Smiths makeup, although
he served with distinction in Uncle
Sans navy during the last war.
Many of Smitty's most active and
enthusiastic supporters are today
far away on distant battlefields so
we must not become over-confi-

Smitty Fights for
Wornen's Rights

Dayton women voters have a
chance to vote for the welfare of
their children! Adequate protec-
ton for them while they are
working in war plants. Mothers
don't want their children pushed
around or insulted, neither do
they want them to grow up to be
DULLES and brutes toward others.
Mothers want peace and safety on
Jul city's streets. And they don't
want to send their children to
school in the dark.
This city is a test tube of de-
mocracy. To respect u neigh
bors regardless of all differences
in face, creed or color. Since this
war for survival" started a great
influx of different nationalities has
added greatly to the population of
this key-war center. So the melt
ing pot churns-in our schools,
factories. draft boards, ration
boards and polling places. Toler-
ance is the cornerstone Of democ-
racy.
Some of these people possibly
are Chinese, Italian, Greeks, Jew
ish, Irish, Negro and Polish Amer
leans. The honor rolls of our men
in the armed forces hanging in
our union halls and factories, the

voters lists all suggest a map of
the world.
Yet we are all one people, speak
ing a common language-just as
American as the redwood trees of
California. A sure test of every
present member of the city COM
mission and every prospective
candidate is simply this-are they
fighting discrimination and favor
itism.
To work out this democratic
way of life, our city must be run
on these principles. We must
elect a city commissioner imbued
with high ideals and with the
capabilities to carry them out
practically.

Change Is Due

Victory does not come merely
by wishing for it. We must not
let u boys down who are on
the fighting fronts and there is
no better way to demonstrate the
solidarity of the ranks of labor
than by electing Myron Smith to
the city commission. It is a war
task and in war, victory never is
won by the half hearted. We
need victory and we want victory
in this election with the same
determination that we want VIC
tory in the military conflict over
there, because this is all a part of
one big struggle.
Don't give your vote away.
Myron Smiths defeat would only
bring aid and comfort to the en-
emies of the people which we
canont allow to happen. So for
your children's sake, for your own
sake, and for Better City Govern
ment, Elect Myron Smith, Tues

After checking Smitty's record,
We find it imperative that he
zhould be elected next Tuesday,
