A BUSINESS MAN; NOT A POLITICIAN."

John M. Lontz, for many years an ardent Democrat, one of Wayne County's most esteemed citizens and one of Indiana's most successful manufacturers, announced his candidacy for the Democratic congressional nomination a few weeks ago upon the earnest solicitation of his many friends in Wayne couty and throughout the district. They regard him as a man splendidly equipped to represent the district, state and nation in congress. In his home county (Wayne) Mr. Lontz 's candidacy is not only acceptable to members of his own party, but to hundreds of voters who made possible Progressive victories in Wayne county the past four years. He can be elected. Mr. Lontz is a man of progressive principles and president of one of the largest lawn mower manufacturing concerns in the world, located in Richmond. Although the majority of his employes are not skilled workmen they are among

the best paid factory workers in Indiana.

Mr. Lontz has pledged himself, if elected to congress, to work for a tariff commission as proposer, oy President Wilson. He stands on the issue of national defense for ADI'.QITATE PREPAREDNESS. He has promised to champion all measures aimed to establish the federal government upon a sound BUSINESS ÜASIS. He advocates, the budget system for the national government. He is opposed to "lOKK P.AHHKU government.

He is an advocate of a federal "old age pension- system and of all worthy measures for the improvement of the working and social conditions of the American people. A Vote for Lontz at the Primary Election Is a Vote for Progress and Efficiency Advertisement
