Are You Patriotic? Then Vote?
On November 4th a National Presidential
Election will be held in the United States. The
; only right way to select a President (and other
executives) is for everyone to signify his or
; her choice. Consider it a sacred duty to your
;: country to go to the polls and cast your vote.
The "Opening Gun
Tuesday nisht Republicans will fire their "opening gun"
of this campaign in Union county when Coventor D. V.
Davis, of Idaho, will deliver a speech on the political issuos,
in( the Star theater. The governor is a well-posted man,
a, man who understands national legislation and who also
understands the grout western country, and what it'.neoiu.
' i Whilo we have never heard his speech, it is safe to
predict that there will be no mud thrown and there will
bo no unreasonable promises made. Men of the governor's
type realize that this country plods right along regardless
of the pyrotechnic ,di.play at election time; that there is
aljout so much work to do and one or the other of the old
parties is going to do that work. How well the work has
:bocn done under Coolidge will be told to the people.
