If it does, you ought to go to the polls this
afternoon and vote for the bond issue that
will provide adequate . school buildings.
Polls Open From 12 Noon to 8 P.M.
REMEMBER
The thousands of children that are now overcrowded in
1 Portland's school buildings.
These thousands of little children are your children.
They are the most precious asset of the city.
They are compelled by law to attend school.
They ask for a seat for full time, in a regular school
house, properly lighted, ventilated and heated.
They ask to be enrolled in grades of normal size.
They will not be content with a patchwork policy
which erects a series of buildings at irregular intervals
in deference to neighborhood clamor.
They want a programme which immediately takes
care of all parts of the city.
They want nothing radical or extravagant.
They ask a city, which has freely given millions of
dollars to all sorts of helpful work during the conflict to
make the world a decent place in which to live, to imme
diately provide for its own children.
They do not wish to wait until that vague time when
building materials and their fathers' wages shall pos
sibly be reduced.
AND REMEMBER
That there exists in Portland several thousand peo
ple who always vote against a bond issue.
Those people will be out today.
They have not advanced a reason or argument
against this bond issue and its
