AND
Good Government
TO THE AM ERICAN VOTER:
A re you satisfied, even content, with existing conditions of life?
O f course you are not.
You are burdened with taxation and the high cost of living.
For everything entering into your daily life you are paying an ab
normal price— an unprecedented price.
W hy?
Largely, if not altogether, because of the extravagance of government
at W ashington— because of padded payrolls— because of colossal w aste
follow ing the war— because of looseness, laxity, inefficiency and incom
petency in handling the country’s affairs.
You are paying the bills for all this — you, A m ericans, men and
women, who make up the good citizenship of this nation.
You are paying, and paying dearly, for all this.
Your Liberty Bonds— those I. O. U ’s of U ncle Sam— in which you
invested so proudly, so generously, so patriotically, to help win the war,
are today below par. You made sacrifices, som e of you, most o f you, to
buy them, and now, with the war long over, but with peace not yet fully
established, you must make further sacrifices, if com pelled to sell those
Liberty Bonds, in order to meet the abnormal conditions confronting you
and entering into your daily life at every turn.
Think o f the tragic clim ax thus put upon your patriotism!
W AR M EANS W ASTE.
W AR IS W ASTE.
B U T W AR W A STE
SHO ULD H AVE ENDED W ITH THE ENDING OF W AR.
It did not
end then— it has not ended. It hai gone on prodigally— sham efully.
And you, long-suffering American citizens, are paying the bill— paying in
taxes and high cost o f living the price of it all.
Is it not tim e to call a halt— high tim e?

CORBETT
Then, and then only, will you be relieved of the burdens you are car
rying today.
You are hearing talk about A m erica’s duty to the world. Much of
it is intended solely for cam paign purposes and is as full of deception as
the cry, “ He kept us out of war,” the Democratic slogan of 1916, when
the A dm inistration at W ashington knew full w ell that no power under
H eaven could keep us out of war, and that, in fact, at the very moment,
when an election was being scantily won by false pretences, the Nation
was even then virtually at war.
Am erica do her duty to the world!
W hen, pray, did America ever fail to do her duty— her full duty—
in any crisis or contingency affecting m ankind? Never!
And America can be counted upon as confidently in the future as
she has been counted upon in the past.
AMERICA IS A DUTY DOING NATION. Any suggestion to the
contrary— whatever the individual view as to the adjustm ent of world
affairs, whether through a League of Nations or not— is an affront to
every true American and must be dealt with as such.
The Republican Party pledges you Good Government. It pledges
to you efficiency, economy, courage and the square deal. It pledges you
an Am erican governm ent— the sort of governm ent that a long and illustri
ous line of Republican Presidents have given this Republic.
IN THE
RESULT TO KEEP YOU FROM THE POLLS ON ELECTION DAY.
Do your duty as a citizen— an alert, w ide-aw ake, American citizen—
just as Am erica has ever done and will continue to do her full duty as
a nation, and thus w ill you help to put your U ncle Sam ’s house in order.
V ote for HARDING and COOLIDGE and a REPUBLICAN CON
GRESS on November 2, and all w ill be made well.
HARDING and COOLIDGE MEAN GOOD GOVERNMENT.
And GOOD GOVERNM ENT is what we all need and must have.

WHY THE ELECTRIC CLEANER?
T h ere is really no com parison betw een th e ease and th o ro u g h
ness w ith w hich an E lectric C leaner rem oved d irt and th e difficulty
of sw eeping.
T rue, one CAN clean rugs and carp ets w ithout an electric clean
er. A broom or ca rp et sw eeper will brush up SOME of the d ir t; and
If you like th e exerclee and have plenty of tim e and stren g th a broom
and a carp et b eater will do the work a fte r a fashion.
In the sam e way one can wash w ithout soap. W ater alo n e will
rem ove some d irt If applied w ith enough "elbow g re a se .”
B ut people use soap because It clean* m ore easily and b e tte r th an
w ater alone.
F o r th e sam e reason people use E lectric C leaners because they
clean m ore easily and far b e tte r th an o th e r m ethods.

FOUR YEARS’ GROWTH
PAID
A Republican Congress curtailed governm ental extravagance to the
extent o f TW O BILLIONS or more— reduced the departm ent estim ates
to that extent in spite of the resistance and obstruction o f the W ilson
Adm inistration. Think of that! But that was just the beginning of re
trenchment and reform which cannot be effected fully until the Executive
and L egislative departm ents of the government are working together e f
ficiently and in unison to bring about retrenchment and reform. And this
means A COMPLETE CHANGE AT W A SH IN G TO N — the substitution of
efficiency for inefficiency, capacity for incapacity, all along the line.
