REAL ISSUE OF THE
CAMPAIGN
Why Every Citizen Should Vote for
These Candidates
E are in the midst of the most important political campaign in the history of Lancaster City and Coun-
\ \ ty, and there is still only one paramount issue in the campaign, and there can be but one, despite all
efforts to becloud it. 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

people than Dr. Keylor. 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-

the fine physical and mental inheri-

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-

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.
In every civic enterprise or com-
munity undertaking of the past years,
