have no doubt made up their minds for whom they are go going ng to vote they have found t that calvin coolidge husan hasan honest clean record that he has been cause of great tax re reductions d and advocates further reductions that lie he has stopped the waste of peoples money that he has bought marked economy into effect the government that he has earnestly worked for ahe int rest of the whole nation even the warmest supports of lafollette cannot deny these facts nor can they point to any helpful laws that bear lafollett s name during the many years that he has been in congress his course has been that of a fault finder what ever anyone else did was wrong he never appeared to seek to help build up he is like an actor who never can give any credit to ano another ther performer no maff matter er if the latter is a star and deserves omme even william jennings bryan said nice things about political cl opponents if they did something that he considered of a constructive nature every neighborhood of any siz size e has an individual who finds fault with what the rest of the men and women neigh neighbor borsare aare doing if he cannot I 1 be chairman of every committee and the

ever had to espouse her cause at the expense of our people is 18 not going fool the people this year what lafollett Republic republics as patriotic democrats and aQiL others who do not wish to see eee the prosperity of the country halted WOR men who detest the s viet form 0 af f government are elated by that havi been dediw edby by lafo ilette on his long heralded ed tour for by his talks on the tariff he has shown that he is ia more in fa orf europe than heis of our country where high wages rule he has shown that he would break down the harries barries that protect the farmer and labor he has shown that he would add millions and in millions illions of dollars in taxes by plan he would create several million more government office holders he would take away the protection of tile the co arts from the week he would woud a acce decent nt profit for the farmer labor dairymen stock gro aers cattle men beet sugar growers in fact he would bring down the wages of all industries he would place the standard of living on the level of that in europe people are now asking what laws of H u beneficial nature to 10 the people are on the statute books that bear lafollette s his most ardent
