Within a few days, as will be
seen from advertisements in this
issue of the Courier, the people ol
White county will have the oppor¬
tunity to hear the statements of
two candidates for Mr. Hardwick’s
seat in the U. S. Senate, at ttie
court-house in Cleveland.
These gentlemen are mighty
anxious for the favorable opinion
and the ballot of the voters, just as
all candidates are, and they will
tell their hearers of the many
things they have done or will do
for you—anything they may have
done or would do to tlie detriment
of the public interest they will be
careful to avoid, if they have done
such things.
As a citizen, and as u part of the
government under which you live,
it is a duty you owe yourself to
inform yourself to the utmost of
the past conduct of each of the
public servants, and if you find any
of them unworthy of the trust they
are seeking, you will take pleasure
in voting against them.
Understand we refer to all can¬
didates who may be in the field.
On the other hand, if we find a
man who is worthy and well quali¬
fied, who has a record of standing
for the public interest, you natur¬
ally would support that man unless
you seek to satisfy prejudice or
selfishness instead of the public.
This is a time when what is
needed more than ever is men cap¬
able of dealing honestly with the
questions affecting public welfare.
The deeds of men today prove
that we have unfaithfulness and
dishonesty in men in high pluces
who in fact are baseless wretches
who seek nothing but money,
money and more money. The tre¬
mendous swindles perpetrated upon
the government in recent months is
sufficient proof. This disrespectful
and disloyal gang are busy in the
political circles, as well as in the
legislative halls, of the nation. He
is intelligent, but his is intelligence
misappropriated.
Hear these and the other candid¬
ates at every opportunity, and per¬
mit not yourself to go wild over
their carefully prepared speeches,
then return to your homes and
think well over the public interest
and tiie sincerity of the speakers,
and select from amongst them
around your own fireside, absent
from the evil influence of tlie tnan
who pretends to know so much of
some particular candidate that none
else is fit to vote for but the man of
his choice—and he may be a great¬
er menace to public interest than
the candidate himself—your man
to vote for.
The Third Quarterly Conference

gregations.

Profits and Prices
Profits may be considered
from two angles:
1st— Their effect on prices;
2nd—ks a return to investors.
When profits are small as
compared with sales, they have
little effect on prices.
Swift & Company’s profits
are only a fraction of a cent
per pound on all products sold,
and if eliminated entirely
would have practically no
effect on prices.
Swift & Company paid 10
per cent dividends to over 20,000
stockholders out of its 1917
profits. It also had to build
extensions and improvements
out of profits; to finance large
stocks of goods made necessary
by unprecedented requirements
of the United States and Allied
Governments; and to provide
protection against the day of
declining markets.
Is it fair to call this
profiteering ?

is of the greatest concern to me. To re¬
present you in the National House is,
indeed, an honor. At this time there are
grave duties and responsibilities to be
assumed by your congressman.
I he world is engaged in a titanic
struggle for supremacy; a conflict be¬
tween right and wrong, truth and false¬
hood. democracy and autocracy. The
United estates has never met defeat, al¬
though cur heritage has come to us
through many a bloody battlefield and
o\ ei unnumbered slain. Our greatest
efforts should be 10 preserve for our
children and our children's children that
freedom we now enjoy.
To accomplish this it is of the greatest
importance that our people should be true
to the principles of democracy and es¬
pecially that your congressmen shall not
only be patriotic and loyal,but outspoken
and persistent in their efforts to uphold
Urn arms of authority. They should not
waiver, nor should they lack in that
courage to go and perform where duty
calls.
1 rue Americanism is not only an ideal,
it is a living, breathing virtue that shall
save our country. I promise you that
virtue, to live it, breathe it and promul¬
gate it wherever I go. If you trust me I
shall not fail you.
In making this announcement I wish
to (
assure you that your influence and
support will be greatly appreciated.

my efforts in every good work tending

announcement, appeal to every patriotic
citizen to look after my interests in their
respective localities, and I take this
method of thanking them in advance.
