DR. N. A. LOVE
To the Voters of Okolona
Gentlemen: As you know I

cy as the case deserves.

power to reduce the taxes as
much as can be done.

ATTENTION VOTERS
The Victory is Ours
, The question is are we going
to make it stick.' .
Next Monday, May 15th, will
tell the tale.. The first Primary
is the beginning of the end.
We have made a vigorous cam
paign against Classfsm. Against
running the government in the
interest of a few. We believe in
an administration that represents
the whole people, "01 the people
by the people and for the peo
ple." . ,
We believe in a free country,
where a man can cast his ballot
according to the dictates of his
own conscience, without pres
sure from any source whatever,
be it official or what not Fellow
citizens, what kind of a Mayor
do you want and are - you going
to have? '
Remember, next Monday, in
all probability, will decide this
question. Do you want one who
will look to the interest of the
whole people? Do you want one
who will see that everybody wil
eet a sauare deal be he ever so
humble?
Do you want one who will use
his best efforts to combine prog
res3, economy and fair play into
a well blended and well poised
administration? Not forgetting
that common sense a very un
common and little used staple
article -play3 a very important
part even in a City Government.
We have invited them to stand
up and speak if they had any
thing to say as to why sentence
should not be passed upon them.
We have invited them to come to
the bat and play ball, and al
though they have an astute law
yer at their services, has any
body seen a line in their de
fense? Not one. Why? Be
cause you can't controvert the
truth. 1 .
Anybody who has eyes can
see to what "straits of despera
tion they have come. They
are using every means in their
power to get a vote. Their
army corps swoops down on the
inoffensive voter in relays at all
hours of the day, and I think
they have a night shift also.
Don't be deceived by the
Sirens song. Keep your eyes
open. BE prepared; come out
Monday morning and cast your
vote for the Champion of Free
Government, equal rights to all
and special priveliges to none.
Very respectfully,
adv. R. L. FITZGERALD

more than
you can perform."

the least is said."
