The Labor Journal is true to the American ideals of WAGE EARNERS;
Men and women spend your wages in the city where you lire, always remem
bering that ‘The Dollar That Goes the Farthest is the Dollar That Stays at
Home."
The Labor Journal will not be respon
sible for opinions of correspondents. If
you do not get your paper drop a postal rrrofsfi'BgfliffilCCh
to the Editor and he will see that you
do.
We believe in American business and American Workers. We believe that
a just share of the profits which the workers help produce should be given the
worker, for without this benefit, lasting prosperity cannot be assured.

WEEKLY BIBLE QUOTATION
As your muscles grow feebler your mental and moral grip
should grow firmer. Test yourself: Whatsoever thy hand find
eth to do, do it with thy might.—Eccl. 9:10.
WHAT DOES ONE VOTE IN
CONGRESS MEAN?
Less than two months before our nation was attacked by
the enemy, the U. S. Congress passed a bill to extend the selec
tive service by the margin of ONE VOTE.
Before that just EIGHT VOTES were needed to pass the
bill to fortify the Pacific outpost of GUAM—-the passage of
which may have saved the lives of some Marines and surely
would have saved this important naval base when we need it
most.
ONE MAN in the United States Congress can determine
the issue between progress and reaction—between Victory and
Defeat—yes, between life and death.
The next Congress will fight this war and may very well
be the CONGRESS THAT WILL MAKE THE PEACE.
Will the common people, the workers and their families be
represented in the councils of the great when the fate of
FUTURE GENERATIONS IS BEING DECIDED? OR—WILL
THEY AGAIN BE SOLD DOWN THE RIVER INTO
“MORMALCY” AS THEY WERE AFTER THE LAST WAR?
Will they again want to put “labor back in its place”—
they,’who have been yelling themselves blue that President
Roosevelt was destroying the integrity of Americans because
he was feeding the hungry ?
WHO WILL DRAW THE PLANS FOR THE WORLD
WE MUST LIVE IN?
Will we lose by ONE VOTE?
Will we lose by EIGHT VOTES?
This is much bigger and far more important than the per
sonalities and the individuals involved.
If the Democratic candidate for Congress in this 10th
North Carolina District were only a “run of the mill” Demo
crat, who had supported Presirent Roosevelt for 10 years, every
man and woman worker in the district could do not less than
vote for him without any hesitation.
BUT—WHEN THAT SAME CANDIDATE HAPPENS
TO BE A PERSONALITY SUCH AS CAMERON MORRISON,
a former Governor of our State, a former United States Senator
—an elder statesman of North Carolina—then this district
and its voters are doubly fortunate.
Men and women of organized labor know how CAMERON
MORRISON stands on labor—we know how he stands on the
prosecution of the war—and we know how he stands on the
peace that is to follow the Victory.
We know how he stands on all these matters of bread and
butter and life and death matters because he has given us the
one clue necessary to arrive at the answers—CAMERON MOR
RISON HAS BEEN BEHIND PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT FOR
TEN YEARS.
He has seen clearly through all the problems of our chang
ing world and his silver hair and silver tongue will grace this
office and do honor to our people as the people will do honor
to him by OVERWHELMINGLY VOTING FOR HIM ON NO
VEMBER 3rd. We urge the support of all for Cameron Morri
son for Congress.

A MESSAGE OF COMMON SENSE FROM
CHAS. A. JONAS
Republican Candidate for Congress
10th District
f
r
In this darkest hour of our national existence when our
traditions, our freedom and our very lives and homes are being
assaulted by vicious and deadly enemies, it is time for the people
of our nation to return to the simple faith of our childhood.
At our mother’s knee and
in the little country churches
we were taught that there is
a GOO who watches over the
destinies of our men.
Though our faith be
sorely tried and our hearts
troubled, we must cling to that
elemental truth until this
scourge passes.
We know that our form
of Government is the finest
the mind of man has ever de
HON. CHAS. A. JONAS
vised. We know that our
system of free elections and
open discussion and patriotic
criticism where the welfare of our nation is involved—those are
the rocks upon which our greatness has been built. We know
that in the end right will triumph, evil will be uprooted and
truth will prevail, and that THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE.
To these simple principles I dedicate my experience, my
services and my devotion.
