WATCHING POLITICAL CROOKS IS BIG JOB THE WAYS AND METHODS of po. litical crooks and tricksters are many and varied. They have, at times, in the past and may again, in the future, nullify the verdict of the legally constituted electorate of the nation. These tricksters ply their trade in the metropolitan and industrial centers. They are unknown in rural communities, but the illegal votes they produce in the cities offsets the honest vote of the people of the towns and farms. The extent to which the political crooks operate was demonstrated in Chicago in the national election of 1940. During that campaign a group of young business men, organized and led by Henry Pope Jr., and legally known as the Pope committee, volunteered to check, before the election, the voting lists in what are known in Chicago as the river wards. Largely they constitute the slum sections, a place of shacks and cheap lodging houses. They represent approximately 50 per cent of the normal city vote. effort. Those It was a men were not interested in young how any one registered intended to vote, only that they be legally qualified to vote. They investigated the name and assigned residence of every one on the voting lists. Many names were phony. Many places given as residences were vacant lots, warehouses or factory buildings. When they found a voter at the address he had given they determined how long he had lived there, how long in the precinct, in the county, in the state. It was a terrifically big job. For some of the investigators it produced some unpleasant experiences, but they persevered. In those river wards they took off of the voting lists before the November election, the names of well over 100,000 who were not qualified to vote and were illegally registered. If we are to have an honest expression of the will of a majority of those qualified to vote in this November election an effort, such as that of the Pope committee, is needed in every metropolitan and industrial center. The registration lists in such places will carry the names of many thousands of the unqualified. Some of these names will be on the lists because of ignorance on the part of the registrant, some because of the chicanery on the part of political crooks. Since the election of 1940 there has been a great migration of workers throughout the nation. Hundreds of thousands, millions of them have moved to localities providing jobs in war plants. The majority of these people, men and women, have resided in one state, one county, one precinct long enough to qualify them as legal voters. Many thousands of them have not, and are not qualified voters. It is those who are unqualified, the drifters, the political crooks will attempt to place on the lists of registered voters. They are sufficient in numbers to swing a result in many a closely contested state, and possibly the national election. To live, to function efficiently, the representatives composing a government "of, for and by the people," must be honestly chosen. May we have Pope committees in every metropolitan and industrial center. EXAMPLE OF FREE ENTERPRISE IN ACTION DURING WORLD WAR I, 1917-1the government took over and operated the railroads. When it. was all over congress appropriated a total of $1,700,000,000 to cover the loss of government operation. During World War II railroad management has operated the roads and there has been no loss for the government to pay. During the first two years of this war the roads moved a third more freight, and nearly three times the number of troops, than were handled during the two years of World War I. Because of demands of the selective service law the roads have operated with less than 85 per cent of the number of employees used by the government in the operation of the roads during World War I. Instead of a loss to the government of nearly two billion dollars,, the roads in two years paid to the government nearly two .billion in taxes. Despite such facts there is a group 8. of theoretical bureaucrats at Wash- ington who advocate scrapping the free enterprise system, and the government to take over and operate all business.

They discovered that it was heatproof, and used it to make funeral wrappings for people of rank. When they resorted to cremation they clothed their dead in such garments in order to be able to remove the ashes for preservation. Asbestos almost suffered oblivion during the Dark Ages, when the art of weaving its long silky fibers was lost. Asbestos is really a mineral flax, and the fibers can be spun and woven on looms in much the same way as cotton and wool. In 1871 the art of asbestos weaving was rediscovered and commercialized. to protect your livestock against deadly disease with HERES WHY gently warming, soothing Ben-Ga- y gives such fast relief from simple headache...Ben-Ga- y contains up to2 V2 times more of two famous agents, methyl salicylate and menthol known' to every doctor than five other widely offered rub-inSo insist on genBen-Ga-y g for welcome, soothing relief I uine, pain-relievi- ng s. quick-actin- 0ATtjRITKdCll- - cm mu U ii--i enact u Just as Cutter Vaccines & Serums control those diseases which once were most common and deadly to humans so you may now use Cutter Veterinary Products to protect the health of your livestock.
