It is another “Rum, Romanism and Re bellion.” The Three Real Lssues. There is no immigration issue in this campaign, there is no tariff or prosperity issue, there is no leligious issue except where fools, firebrands and ignoramuses are concerned. On immigi-ation the Republican and Dem ocratic parties stand alike, on the tariff they stand alike, on religion all decent and patriotic Republicans stand with all decent and patriotic Democrats, and there is not an intel- ^ ligent Republican to whom I have ^ talked who is not ashamed and dis mayed at those fellow Republicans so unwise, so un-Christian, so little American, and, I might add, so little politically astute, as to have raised this issue. Only the inexperienced a and those unaware of history, Ameri- •♦! can or otherwise, could have done so. a j There are three actual issues; water j H ^ I power, farm relief and Prohibition. | p H j On these I stand firmly with Gover-; a nor Smith and the Democratic party. Even without my far-Western ex- il a I perience, which in this case is final,! ^ ! I g j my political and economic judgment ‘ ^ a ^ would lead me to believe that in any j a « j natural resource as wide-spreading as j g g water there must be government own- a H ! ership and control. But does this not j g H j necessarily apply to all other re- ' H ' sources, natural or otherwise. Rail- - g I ways, for instance, are very different | 5* I from water power. In the same way, \ II believe in Governor Smith’s atti-! 1 tude toward farm relief. It is an in- ! I tricate and difficult subject I well | I know, but I would considerably rath-) er follow a man who has some con-1 I structive suggestions to make than a ! g 1 man who, evasive always, is, in this I a j instance, more evasive than ever. I H What, in the name of Heaven does a I a : tariff on farm products mean, when ! II i there is a surplus of farm products ?

Personally I am not sure that Governor Smith’s remedy is the correct one, although it is true that under the old State laws Prohibition as a whole worked far better than it does now, but that is not half so important as the fact that here at last is a leading public man brave enough to tell the truth. His ‘ promise to bring the whole matter | j before the American people and let I them decide for themselves is enough ! for me. I Those are the three actual issues and Mr. Page is entitled to vote pro or con on any one of them, or all three, and still lay claim to being politically logical, but he cannot set up an issue which does not exist and make the same claim. In every campaign, however, back tt of the actual issues there are hidden §i issues quite legitimate, and I am not a j sure that these are not the really im- a j portant ones. A very sound reason a I for not voting for a man is because a you don’t like him. Another equally H: sound reason is because you don’t trust him. But it is not fair, in poli tics or any other relationship of life, to dislike or mistrust a man for what he isn’t, what he hasn’t done and j what he does not represent. That is I carrying the present Republican po- j litical tactics into your emotional life I as well. I Appealing Personality.

Does every part of the braking me«hanism function perfectly—only to be nullified by the failure of the tires to grip the road? This won’t happen to you if you ride on Goodyear Balloon Tires with the new All-Weather Tread. Between your brake pedal and the road is a positive connection—^the big, tough, sharp-edged blocks in this famous Goodyear tread pattern. These blocks are placed in the center of the tread, where they belong. They are deep-cut and rugged, so that their non-skid effectiveness lasts for thousands of miles. When you need to start or stop, they bite down through sand or mud or snow to firm footin^f beneath, seize and grip and hang-on, carrying your car forward or bringing it to a stop, as the need may be. Goodyear Balloon Tires are surefooted, skidless, safe, and they are long-wearing, smooth-run ning, good-looking as well. This rare combination of desirable qualities has given them their present position as “the world s greatest tires.” Bobby Burns Aberdeen North Carolina. Smith is best known he is most a a a
