GEORGE W. HUNTLEY, JR.
Emporium, Penna.
Candidate for Congress
from the 28rd Congressional Dis.
trict, comprising Cameron, Centre,
Clearfield, and McKean Counties.
HIS PLATFORM
1. Unemployment and poverty
breeds communism, Stablize industry,
eliminate cut-throat competition,
substitute more co-operation and
the problem is solved. It means
steady employment at higher wages
and regular dividends at ‘higher
rates. It will allow workmen’s
compensation for’ injury, sickness
and old age.
2. The Farm Relief Act was the
beginning of a square deal for the
farmer, He will benefit according
to the stabilizing of the farming
business.
3. The sale of intoxicating liquors
can not be legalized while the 18th
Amendment remains in the Consti-
tution. The barrooms are gone ana
the bootlegger must go.
4. Adequate aid for the veterans
must be provided.
5. The corrupting influence of
money in primary elections must
be abolished. I have no political or-
ganization. I appeal direct to the
voters.
