That issue is the same as the issue of a year ago when the Coalition won its tirst victory. The same issue that must continue to be the issue until our political life is purified and freedom and liberty are re-established in every department of the government of our county. THAT ISSUE IS THE REDEMPTION OF OUR COMMUNITY FROM THE SELFISH DOMINA.- TION AND CONTROL OF A TYRANOUS POLITICAL ORGANIZATION WHOSE INTERESTS ARE NOT THOSE OF THE COMMUNITY BUT OF ITS OWN PERPETUATION AND PROSPERITY AND POWER. Reasons The Curse of Bossism The curse of Bossism is upon our people and has been for a quarter of a century. Instead of political freedom, we suffer a measure of Russian tyranny, instead of being a free, progressive people, we suff- ersthe palsy of inaction. Instead of going forward politically; we stand still. Instead of town meetings for the discussion of community welfare, we remain silent with the universal observation of ‘“What’s the use.” To free ourselves from this incubus, this gross, political immorality, this great sin against Americanism, is the issue, and the only issue of this campaign. . A Great Responsibility Upon the men and women voters of Lancaster County now rests for the political morality of our community. Responsibility to the thousands of boys and girls in our schools. Responsibility to the generation behind those boys and girls, all of whom are likely to accept the political standards they find established when they ‘come to maturity. Responsibility to our forefathers who sacri- ficed themselves on the alters of freedom that we might have liberty. Responsibility to the million of boys of all nations who died in the world war that democracy might live. Responsibility to our own time and our own age that the sacred vessel of liberty entrusted to us shall be passed on to the next generation, not di- a great Responsibility. Responsibility n ex-| Minished but increased. The Hour of Opportunity November 7th will be the hour of our opportunity. The candidates of the Democratic and Lancaster par- ties, who stand for American liberty, are men of high moral character, intellectual bility and business effic- ciency. They are unselfish and not self-seeking. The offices for which they stand sought them and not they the offices. Our community is indeed fortunate to have the poiltical issue so clearly defined and to have as candidates men of so high quality, through whom it may express itself in behalf of our democratic ideals and the preservation of our republican form of government. Eternal Vigilence the Price of Liberty For the free people to govern themselves is a great blessing. keep the stream of government pure and unpoluted. Only eternal serve our liberties. Let us continue the work begun a year ago until every vestage of tyranny and oppression is destroyed and we can again hold up our heds as a people proud of our heritage and loyal to our inheritance. “Lets Finish the Job” November 7th Then November 7th will be a great land mark in for liberty and its onward march to a higher and better began so splendidly a year ago in the city. Let us renew the “Declaration/of Independence” of our forefathers by voting for Frank C. Musser and the men associated with him on the) Lancaster Party and Democratic tickets and restore politica freedom to our beloved + ‘ounty. fC Ma But it is also a great responsibility to vigilence will keep us free and pre- the history of Lancaster city and county in its struggle community life.

He was born in September 1868, of families honored in his home district from the days of the first settlements. In the old homestead at Nine Points where his people had farmed for genera- tions, with a mother endowed with the fine physical and mental inheri- tence ‘of the McClures and represen- tative of the best Scotch-Irish tradi- tions, Dr. Keylor began life with a vitality and mental endurance which has made him a striking personality from his boyhood. After attending the public school, he was a student of the Chestnut Hill Academy for two years. Leaving the Academy he took the full three-years course at Millersville Normal School, graduating in 1891. He firs} took the principalship of the Glen Hazel, Elk County School, fa- mous at that time for its high stand- ards of education. During two years of successful teaching there he read medical literature and at the end of that period went to the University of Pennsylvania, graduating from ‘the medical department, after four year: in 1892, Dr. Keylor never sought office be- fore and is making his campaign wholly upon an appeal to the moral sense and common intelligence of the voters. ably wide circle of enthusiastic friends among the reople of the coun- ty, because of his interest in organi- zations promoting good education. A life-long Republican with Inde- pendent tendencies he will bring to the work of legislation a mind singu- larly well trained for the task and a kindliness and common sense of which the county may well be proud. C. N. HOWELL Cnvidid ta Eas <p YF ayl Candidate for State Legislature from Lancaster City Charles M. Howell candidate for the legislature on the Lancaster Par- ty and Democratic ticket, for the city district, is well known to the public as are the families from which he was born. His father was the late Frank B. Howell, for many years in business in the city and his grandfath er was Major Charles M. Howell. His grandfather on his mothers side of the house was the late Thomas Baumgardner, Both families were |among he early settlers of Lanecas- [ter county. Mr. Howell and the men of his family, have from the earliest times made history in the life of Lanecas- [ ter County Democracy. His frank- ness and courage as a party man have secured for him the admiration of many not of his party. Nominated by the Jeffersonian forces in 1908 for the mayoralty, probably the youngest candidate ever so honored in Lan- caster, he reduced the usual majority of the opposing party by -a thousand votes. The same year he was a dele- gate to the National Democratic Con- vention at Denver. In 1921 he was part of the triumphant leadership which swept the old gang from power Lancaster city and was elected a member of the common council, re- ‘presenting the Fourth Ward.
