'RATIO VOTERS

Of Dubois and Orange Counties. GENTLEMEN: As a candidate for Representative to the State Legislature, I promise to vote for the repeal of the present statute governing the working of our country roads, and will favor a law as heretofore existing to elect supevisors to take change of the highways. I further promise to vote, work and labor for the repeal of the present unfair, unjust and dishonest tax law, that places on the shoulders of the farmer and laboringman an unjust burden in the payment of an unequal share of taxes, while the corporations, banks and wealth possessors of this state are enjoying unjust advantage under its enforcement. I further promise to vote for all laws that will 1: ring about, "Freo And Enact Justice To All, Special Privileges To None." Asking you for your support at the primary May 4, 1920, and thanking you therefor, I am, Very Respectfully, M. A. SWEENEY, Jasper, Indiana, April 26, 1920.

Political Advertisntinit, Brown's Record. Mk Editor; -R. C Browr, of Salem, Indiana, has sc:ic ered :;rc over th s Congressional District, on which cards he si ys that he isseekingthe Democratic nomination for Representative in

Comress on a wet platform.

He savs that he is opposed to

the Ftdeial Regulatory Act, known as the Vclstead Law, and

that he is in favor of the repeal of the Federal Constitutional

Prohibition Amendment.

He had also placed in the Jef-

fersomille Evening News and

other daily papers, a statement

asserting that he has been coa

ätantlv opposed to prohibition

and among other things says I have never voted for prohibition

and ne er will". I have made the statement after seeing Mr.

brown's cards and before seeing

the statement in the papers,

That he had been dry". I have

served in the Indiana Legislature

but before makini? up my mind fo answer Mr. Brown, I have

investigated his record. Mr. Brown served in the Indiana Legislature as Representative from Washington County durincr the regular sessions ot 190 J and 1909 and the special session of 190S. and his record is as follow: 1st In 1907 he voted for what is known as the Liqaor Regula tioh Act. which is more stringent and drastic in its terms and contain more authority oi search and seiznre tlun the Volstead Act when he voted fcr an Ind

iana Law more stringent and witn more authority of search and seizure. 2nd' At a special sess'on of

the Indiana Legislature in 190S. he voted in favor of an amendment to the Conststution of Indiana prov dng for State wide Prohiniton. fhis proco3ed amei mnent to the State Constitu tion ot Ind'ana U identical in nature to our present ederal Conh. utionai Amendment M. Bro.va voted for it and yet h never voted Jor prohibition. How could this be? 3rd At the 1907 Legislature, Mr Brown vcted for what is known as the M Aloe re Remonstrance L?w.M 4th, At the special session of 1908 he voted for the "Mattingly One Thousand Dollar License T ... ft

5th. In 1909 session of the Indiana Legis ature. he voted for the One Thousand Dollar License Law in connect on with the township Option Law. At these session of the Legislature, Mr. Brown wa3 known as a Hanley ODemocrt. Ho does he explain his present stand with the dry record that he has. It looks like he is simply trying to fool the voters.

o We are in receipt of a letter from Mr. Brown who says "The above is false, misleading, and villianous. That he was not a member of the 1909 legislature and that the article lies about his record y Any one can see the srticle is a paid for political advertisement. And the Courier editor does not endorse and is n)t responsible for either Bayer r Brown's statements.

DON'T DIVIDE VOTE. R C. Brown is the only candidate openly pledged to the repeal of the liquor enforcement ' law. It would be to the interest of the dry or whispering candidates to divide his vote. Watch for false last minute statements and stand together for R. G. Brown. .He voted against the Hanly county unit law. His record is consistent and he fights openly like a man. Straw votes show him running far in the lead of other candidates in Clark, Floyd and Washington counties. Adv
