$11,500.00 was borrowed, that $10,000
was paid by the ex-sheriff ,j and that
$14,848.48 was collected by' increased

They wanted to be. able'to tell the
dear people, with tears in their eyes,
that they had made a great effort to
save them from the burden of increas
ed taxes but were overpowered by the
cruel and bloodthirsty democrats. Of
course they would not tell, what they
know in their hearts to be true, that
all the increased salaries were deserv
ed and justified by changed" condi
tions. 1 supported those bills and
have no apology or. regret for so do
ing. I am sure that no reasonable
citizens of any party are opposed to
lhe payment of adequate-and just sal
aries to their officers. After sermon
izing on honest elections and -dwelling
at length on the horrible frauds
perpetraetd by the majority party Mr.
Swann asks me if I supported the
Herring amendment to the Absentee
Voters" Act I did not, but I voted
'or an amendment that embodied in
substance the same provisions. The
Herring amendment - was nothing
- more or less than another republican
effort to create-a campaign issue on
honest elections. It was an amend
ment to the general election law as
eli as "thp Absentee Voters' Act. It
provided that sick voter micht send
Ws ballot to the polls to be cast if a
doctor certified that the sick voter
was unable to attend in person.
lhere was no otmosition to this fea-
utre of the arhndment bv republicans
!n the Senate and there -was no reason
or condition that required the propos
amendment to the general election
;vv and it it had been adopted no ma
terial change would have been made.
-After a thorough studv of this pro-
Posed amendment I voted against it
lor the reasons stated and would do

Wp Hid not make desirable improve

the extent of the logic used. The in

other- more necessary purposes . but
he says that according to Webster
this money was misapplied. I am.

lhe optimism of advertisers created
optimism, and the pessimists slunk
back into their holes and-pulled the
holes in after them-permanently

desert of every man who becomes a

Man- men who at first did not se
just how advertising could help their
individual business, .nevertheless "they
too, if broad in vision and patriotic in
spirit began to advertise, following
the Government's advice; and soon
they felt a pride in being numbered

prosperity is flourishing.
Largely as an outcome of this
splendid work; vigorously conducted
by the Secretary of X : Labor and to
whom great credit is due, everyone
now realizes that the country has ta
ken the right road at the forks, and
instead , of traveling toward the land
of poverty and anarchy, is headed
straight on the road to the land of
abounding national prosperity, and
this glorious change is largely due to
the power of advertising, which cre
ated an air of optimism, arid as a na
tion thinketh in its heart, so it" is.
The nation is now thinking in terms
of publicity-created prosperity, and it
realizes as never before that advertis
ing is the great power which has sav
ed us from stagnation and unemploy
ment, and that advertising, big, broad
and intelligent advertising, will keep
the nation traveling safely on the
road of prosperity. . ...
