WILLIAM H. ADE Progressive Candidate for Congress

AN OUTRAGE

High Price of School Books Frequent Changes Burden to the School Patrons. THE REMEDY

If you have four children in the graded above the third grade, your school book bill will amount to over twelve dollars. If you have four children in the High School your school book bill amounted to more than twenty dollars. To the average laboring man this means one week’s wages. It means his family is out of money for one week. It means the grocer, butcher, Shoe man and doctor must carry him for that week or he must apply to the trustee for books and have his children and family recorded as Paupers. If he does not apply to the trustee he must skimp his family for weeks to come, in order to pay for this outrage. Mr. Voter, you know 7 this is the truth. How long will you vote tor the other fellows instead of for yourself and family? When will you wrnke up? The Progressive Party is the only party that pledges itself to free school books. Will you vote the Progressive ticket or will you continue to vote the old party tickets and thus keep up the school book outrage? These books could be bought by state at only a few cents in tax expense to you. One set of books could, by proper care and disinfection, be used several years in the grade the same as dictionaries and reference library books are used. As long as you vote for the old parties you will have to carry the School Book Trust burden. Free Text Books would mean fewer changes. Why are so many changes made? \ou know the answer. Have you got nerve to break away from old gang rule and vote for your family? The Progressive Party offers you the only jremedy. How long will you continue to make yourself a tool of political bosses and trusts’ Mother, you could use twelve to twenty dollars very handily around the house. Why not urge your

husband and son to vote the Progressive ticket which will glva you free school books. The Progressive Party is also pledged to give you a minimum wage law for women which will also increase the wages of men. It is pledged to do away with child labor, which. 1 will mean more work for father. It is pledged to the initiative and referendum which means you can make and pass on your own laws, it is pledged to the recall which means that officials must give you the best service or step down and out. It means that judges will not allow attorneys exorbitant tees on ditches and estates which you must pay. It means that only competent and efficient lawyers can remain in the practice. The shyster will have to enter some other field. The Progressive Party is pledged to National Prohibition, and William H. Ade pledges himself to use his best efforts to bring about National Prohibition. How do the other congressional candidates stand on the liquor question? MR. DRINKER if you desire to quit, why not vote for Will H> Ade and let him work to do away with your curse?

The Lafayette Courier is in receipt of private advices from the northern end of the district telling of the striking turn of sentiment toward Will Ade, for congress. The information comes not through the usual channels of such information and was not sent out for effect. The information comes merely incidental to other matters. Beyond a doubt Mr. Ade is attracting very favorable attention.

And why not? Why is there anything to be wondered at in the popular sanction shown when a clean, able citizen steps from the ranks of citizenship, at the express call of other citizens, and takes up a candidacy for congress? Irrespective of party, there is a strong prevailing feeling, among all classes of citizens, that it would be indeed gratifying if now and then a capable citizen would offer himself as a candidate, and so make it pqssible for the every-day sort of citizen to e*press himself rather than through the lVofessional political candidates. Surely, in the candidacy 0 f Will Ade the voters of this district have their opportunity. I he larmers of this district especially ought to heed' the opportunity that now awaits them. It is an opportunity, too, that has its bearings on the rising generation. We hear a good deal said of “back to the land.” Not only farmers but all classes are strong for the idea that opportunity awaits the young man on the farm as well as elsewhere. Now this fall, we are to show whether or not by remaining on the farm a young man closes the door of political opportunity. If the farmers of this district, and others as w r ell, should not support Mr. Ade this fall they ,would be virtually saying to farmer boys bj the thousands, “The farm is farm, but it is not a Ayay to honorable political preferment. If you wish to serve your nation politically you must abandon the farm, go to town and become a corporation lawyer and train up with the crowd that makes polities a specialty.” Do the people of this dictrict wish to further the impression that honor--able participation is not open to the boy on the farm; do they wish to further emphasize the notion that political preferment is not a matter for the every-day citizen but is reserved for the professional? The candidacy of Will Ade gives the independent citizen his chance.—Advt.
