NEXT TUESDAY'S THE DAY
Every Repujblican Candidate for County, Borough, School
District or Township Office Needs the
Support of Every Voter
Kvei-ybody  i>ut  to the stockhol lers' meeting next Tuesday!
It's your meeting. Once a year the voters get a chance to select Ihelr hired hands, the men and women who will conduct your public business  for the next few years.
This year you elect the officers of the counties, boroughs, school districts and townships. They will decide policies, levy tuxes,  and spend your money.
A'ou have a vital interest in this election. Not only are your personal interests involved, but forty-seven other States are watihing Pennsylvania to sec if last year's defeat ot the Little New I>eal was u flash  in the  pan.
Jlepublican candidates are standing sipiarely on the record of the James Administration for the past nine months. They are jilcdged lo bring the .same thrifty and efficient conduct of public affairs lo the counties, m'.incii)allt es and Townships.
Compare the pledges ot the Republican platform of 193S with the James performances of 1939. It is a record ot which the Re- jiul)lican party is proud—a record which should make the voters api)reciate the opportunity to select candidates pledged to bring the same  type ot government  to  the "home folks."
l>on't forget that this year's election Is a "warm-up" for 1940. All out for the stockholders' meeting. Go to the polls next Tues¬ day. I'rge your neighbors to do the same.
And   Vote   STRAIGHT   REPUBLICAN.
