MAIN INTEREST

Of greatest importance to the workers of
this country in next Tuesdays election is the
continuation of the Roosevelt administration,
plus congress which will cooperate with him
to conclude the war, write just peace and
bring about full employment and greater secu-
rity for all the people of this country.
i don't think need tell anyone my senti-
ments about President Roosevelt. For years,
1 have said he was the best friend labor has
ever had in the White House, and l have not
changed my mind about him. We must retain
the present Roosevelt in office by giving him
a great vote in the coming election.
TAFTS RECORD
Senator Robert A. Taft who has served
six years in the United States senate has been
wrong SO many times that l will not stop to
number them. l know that you are aware of
his record as an isolationist before the war
and as an obstructionist during the war. He
has never been a friend of the workers and
should be removed from his office.
Opposing Taft will be William Pickrel
former lieutenant governor of Ohio, man
who has won the support of all labor groups
in Ohio because of his past record and because
of his willingness to go along with our pro-
gram. / urge all of you who value your future
to give your vote to Pickrel and give the
President man who will work with him.
HUNTER ENDORSED
John Hunter, former congressman from
this district is the Democratic candidate for
congress. Hunter certainly was a far better
congressman for the workers and plain people
of this district than Homer Ramey. l. believe
he will be an Improvement for us after the
past two years when Mr.. Ramey had mudded
his through congress trying to learn the ropes.
Hunter knows his way around and will not re-
quire two years to find out what's going in.
Vote for Hunter and in doing SO rest assured
that he will cooperate with the President
much better than Homer Ramey.
STATE TICKET
Our state ticket endorsements are also
highly important l know of no man better
qualified to hold the post of governor than
Mayor Frank j. Lausche. Mr. Lausche has
been good mayor for Cleveland and has been
honest. Mr.. Lausche is man with sympathy
for social legislation which will benefit the
people. He will not let anyone push labor
around if he help it. l think that Mayor
Lausche is far superior to Bricker and Stew
art and strongly recommended him for your
consideration.
Members of the state legislature can make
or obstruct the governor. If Lausche is elected
governor, he will need legislature which will
go along with him on progressive legislation
Vote for the two union men who are running
for the state senate, Otto Brach of the AFL
and Earl O. OrdWay of the CIO.
Finally, l urge you to vote for all candi-
dates endorsed for office on the rest of the
ticket as well as those men who have been
endorsed for the judiciary. particularly re-
commend Judge Harvey G.. Straub.
Whatever way you vote, be sure to vote
next Tuesday. Your vote is important l be-
lieve that if we all get out and vote that we
will win this election with those whom we
believe will aid us to extend our social and
economic gains
