round-table at one end of the largedining salon overlooking a broadexpanse of green lawn already coveredwith the early flowers of springtime.Excellent music from a violin addedheaut y t o the occasion, and there wasa dignity to the whole a ff ai r whichwill leave a more las ting impressionupon the boys than any noisy demonstration could possibly do.Ev ere tt E. Burlingame, ringleader

with Dr. Martin in promoting the banquet, acted as referee, or toas tmaster,and he did full justice to his office.No t a s ingl e dec is ion was questioned

Look Before You Leap, Republicans!YourVoteCan'Make ForWeal Or Woe!

Line up the respect ive candida tes . Without bias or prejudice, examine wha t t he ir place h as be en in the

world about us . Do they seek their ow n selfish ends or ar e they sincerely solicitous fo r th e peace , wel fa re a nd p ro g

ress of their generat ion? What does th e record show? Are they evasive or elusive, skillfully s ch emin g t he ir p er

sonal advancement, or a re t he y s ou nd an d straightforward, chiefly concerned in r endering exemp la ry publ ic service?

Put them al l under th e microscope. Draw on you r own knowl ed ge and experience fo r accurate conclusions. Your

ballot is to o precious to waste. American citizenship is no meager thing. I t mus t b e protected against the trickery

of professional pol it icians an d uholier-than-thou" causes. This advertisement is i n b eha lf of th e Temperance Ticket.

The primaries present a golden opportunity. I t would be a terrible pity if i t wer e no t utilized.

And don' t le t us be so supine, so completely distressed, as to believe that nothing c an b e done abou t th e sorry

s itua t ion which confronts th e land. T his country can on l y lJe .like tha t when yo u agree to make it so . Get ou t and

vote- i t is your privi lege-and your du ty - to yourself and to your fellow-Americans. You want to be served, not

swindled-and t he k in d of swindling which impai r s th e moral fibre o f th e nation is fa r more reprehensible than tap

ping the publ ic till. This is th e t ime your vote will count wi th a g re at b ig b an g. Go to it !

Here they are-look them m'er-apply the yardstick of a broad humanity, well-grounded fundamentals, ad"anced intelligence, ,mfeigned chari ty, a patriot ic sol icitude which transcends mere personal ambit ion. The man who puts himself before

his coutl try's cause is not fit f or publi c ser"ice. Bore i "to the ir careers, t ur n u p their talents, and make sure that ' lOll arenot goitlg to be cheated once again.

DAVIS (U. S. Senator): Selec ted by Va re o rgan iza tion. Dav isfirst wanted to be Governor. He has been bui ld ing h is fences for years .Secretary of Labor in several nat ional administrat ions. Unemploymentcrisis disclosed nominal value of his dep:lrtment. He cannot be acceptedser ious ly as a soc ia l o r economic s tudent . On the s tump he confineshimself to platitudes and self-laudation, avoiding all controversial questions. Revealed as a man who burns with personal ambitions and givesno evidence of any real knowledge of important issues. It is even claimedhe has no authent ic Pennsylvania residence. I f sui t based on this claimsucceeds he will not be able to vote. The only Pennsylvania address hegives is the c lubhou se o f a f ra te rn al order in the Western part of theState. S enat or Reed is f rom P it ts bu rgh. Ba lanced r ep re sent ati on r equires a man from Phi ladelphia district. Davis wi ll get few votes on hisown merits. He is a profess iona l i n every respect.

GRUNDY (U. S. Senator): A good, squar e man who has been le ftat t he pos t as a new wor ld moved away f rom him. A sincere advocateof Indust rial Progress, bu t not disposed to give much consideration tothe o th er e lements which make for n at iona l stability. A p ra ctic al exponent of back-stage pol it ics, an apt student of Pen ro se , and like s tocontrol every situation. He will be a standpatter until.doomsday. Does

not seem to belong i n t he vigorous times ahead, as his Toryi sm i s qui teintense and the machine a lways seems more impor tant i n his eye thant he man. Thoroughly honest, capable after his own convictions, andprobably only seeks the office b e c ~ u s e somebody wants to take it awayfrom him. Many t imes the superior of Davis, but hardly t he man for themost epochal era of our nat iona l life which is now loomi ng up. Say s heis a "dry" because that is the posit ion of his party on the question. Heapparently does not read the Literary Digest.

P INCHOT (Governor): A confi rmed demagogue. Charged with thechief accountability of the Snyder Act , probably the most outrageouspiece of legislation in American annals, far exceeding the Volstead lawin i ts inherent injustice. Gets into the l imel ight at every possible opportunuity. Seeks public office, first one thing and then another, for the sakeof "having the t ime of h is li fe. " For the same purpose, he sets sai l, insplurge-fashion, to the South Sea Islands and other remote places, makingsu re the newspaper s know a ll about it. Shoo ts out a new promis e w it hevery speech. Supports many excellent things, but wholly lacks personalqualities necessary for effective administration and permanent progress.Would rather kill t han cure. Vociferously dec la ims in behal f of a common people he simply does no t know. The Snyder Act showed his realconcepti on of the Ameri can househo ld . Has lots of money and anunstinted disposition to spend it in his own behalf. The one term hel

has had as Governor would seem to be just about enough for this gentle

man.BROWN (Governor): A sol id l awyer type , a lways act ively ident ified wi th the Vares . Now seeking to ful fi ll a long-standing ambit ion.More than 70 years old, but s till g oing s tr ong. Make s a poo r showi ngon the stump, bu t a much better one i n the court room. Has declaredfor a referendum, which. Clinton W. Gilb er t says, i s th e rus e adopt edby all th e dodge rs throughout the country. The evasion would appearto be benea th Brown 's matur ity and standing. It is unthinkable thatany worthy candidate fails to possess deep-seated personal convictionson the liquor question. He i s either for or against a change. The straddler gives notice that he is wil ling to win at any cos t. Brown 's prestigehas diminished appreciably because he lacked the courage to face thei ssue in four-square fashion. His attitude can only be described as anasty piece of pol it ical expediency. Standing for everything, he standsfor nothing. The so-called "wet" will NOT vote for him.

Vote for Prohibition Reform-

· ··Vote for the Men Who Can Serve You Best

Vote for Francis S. Bohlen for U. S. Senator

Vote for Thomas W. Phillips for Governor-

BOHLEN (U . S. Senator): A plain man of real

intellectual substaace. Lives on Main Line and

is senior professor of law a t Unive rs it y o f Penn

sylvania. Many academic and other honors

accorded him as a result of outstanding achieve

men ts . Agg re ss iv e men ta li ty an d a refreshing

voic e in public affairs . Had most to do with

present law fo r workmen's compensat ion. His

platform is a mod el fo r political declarations.

Close student of men and things, trained and tol

erant, the kind who is fortified w ith the facts

before he acts. Has made a splendid impression

as a candidate an d leaves no doubt as to where

he stands on l iq uo r question and why he stands

there. He ought to be drafted into publIc serv

ice. A stalwart Republican a nd th e type of ad

vanced mind which can do a great deal in bowling

over mediocrity in th e high places of the nation.

Liberals will vote fo r him e n masse.

PHILLIPS (Governor): A dyed-in-the-wool

disciple of human rights and liberties. He ha s

done big t hi ngs in a commercial way, has served

in Congress, and ha s no opposit ion where he is

known best. A fine type of kindly, self-effacing

man who has signally demonstrated he is more

in terested in th e cause he proclaims than he is

in h is p er so na l aggrandizement. A square

shooter, scornful of hypocrisy and simply will

no t believe that human natur e has fallen so low

that only tyrannous an d oppressive laws ca n

rescue it. He gave B rown a fair chance to be

straightforward, but t he Organization man could

no t be persuaded. Phil lips a t Harr isburg would

mean much to Pennsylvania. Read his speeches,

h is magaz ine ar ti cl es; di sc er n h is c le ar n ot e of

honest-to-goodness humanity. Those who want

liquor reform are s t rong for Phil lips and his cam

paign is attracting nation.wide attention. I f youbelieve in Temperance, you will vot e for him.

And Don't Forget-

A vote for a ~ ~ d r y " candidate or a straddler is a vote

in favor of illicit liquor.
