DAN HARMON for CONGRESS
The Republican Party promisaa
the people a positive, progressive
program. .To be consistent witn
such a : program, the; Republican
Party must elect a f'Progressive
Congressman" from this district.
DAN HARMON is such a man.'
He is a successful business man
and bonafide farmer, the first
such man fb represent us in Con
gress for over fifty years.
To re-elect the same bid crowd
of political wheel-horses to Con-'
gress would be most inconsistent
with , the Republican i program of
progressiveness.
Do we want success or senior
ity? .
