Grundy Issues Call to Elect Congressmen and Legislators Too An appeal to the voters of the state | to aid In promoting the election of j William C. Sprout to the governor ship and of all his colleagues on the ! Republican tk-ket, with special em- | phasis upon the Congressional candi- : dates, is made in an address by Jo- j seph R. Grundy, chairman of the executive committee of the i'enn- J sylvania Patriotic Union. "The, coming election on Novem- ! per 5 is of tremendous importance," j says Mr. Grundy. "The governor, i lieutenant-governor, secretary of in- I ternal affairs and state senators from ; even numbered districts will be j chosen for four years' service and i the entire House of Representatives. ; In addition we shall elect four Con- i gressnien-at-large and thirty-two' from the various districts. The Re- ; publicans have selected candidates of j experience and ability nnd it is es sential to the good name and wel fare of the state that we elect them. "We want as our representatives at Washingion and Harrisburg men who have at heart the best indus trial interests of the nation and state. We have been giving, to the | utmost limit, men and money in a war for democracy. Our minds are ! largely on the western front, and j victory seems assured. But the fruits I of that victory, gained at such a ' cost, can only be enjoyed through future able management in legisla tion and administration. Republi can leaders are working to maintain and perpetuate a democracy at home, with industrial liberty and i progress in the years to come. "We are passing through a criti cal period. A still more critical period will' follow—perhaps very soon—and we must take lesson from our unpreparedness for war, with its awful cost, and not fail to prepare now for peace. We beg you to give heed to the urgency of the situation. One-fifth and more of our voters are away from the state in tlie nation's service. As man ymore have failed to register. Of these absent and un registered voters the large propor tion are Republicans, and as the Democrats in their fight for faction have registered very fully, success in close Congressional, Senatorial and Assembly districts is by no means assured. "The Pennsylvania Patriotic Union was largely instrumental in the nomination of candidates whose abil ity and integrity are unquestioned. It is not surprising then that this organization has been chosen to complete the good work by gelting every voter possible to the polls. "But this necessary and legiti mate work in every Congressional and Senate and Assembly district means a vast amount of' necessary labor and expense at every step. It must be done if we are to win."
