Vote lor Free Enterprisers for Office

Free enterprise took a hurtful blow in the solar plexus before the year 1933 was more than half over, when the New Deal began its fight {or votes and the po\\rer that comes r','-th them, by driving wedges betu'een masses ancl classes, between employer and employe in this country. It has been getting kicked around ever since.

For years before the r'var started hair-brained firmllling l'ith ottr economic, financial, industrial, and commercial affairs by the national government, kept free enterprise tied hand and foot, and kept the depression alive. It could have beerr terminated at anv time by the simple expedient of removing the hard heel of government from the prostrate tl.rroat of business.

I-arvs were passed that by their own wording and by the abortive science of definition, deprived one class of citizens of the liberty and equality u'e had ahvays boasted, and made privileged classes of others. At one time we were advised that government was going to give private enterprise a "breathing spell" to see rvhat it could accomplish to straighten out our domestic muddle; llut the promise was never kept. We went into the war with a great depression still on, and the time-honored things that made this country great, forbidden by regulatioh and restriction from trying its hand at affecting a cure.

We came out of the war in fine condition to put free enterprise back to rvork to accomplish her miracles of prosperity making; but the shackles of government regulation, restriction, and management were never lifted, and still continue today. We have a managed economy; very badly managed.

There is only one intelligent way in which this nation can work its way out of its muddlement, and that is by rvay of the ballot. We must make it our duty to help elect men to office-to high and lorvly office-who believe in free, private enterprise, rvho believe in the American system of doing things, and rvl-ro want to get rid of this managed economy we are suffering from just as soon as possible. It is the duty of everv llttsiness man to help bring about the mighty changes that are so vitally needed. If rve do not help elect the right kind of men, it is our own fault if the wrong kind keep in office.

Let tts get men into office who rvill work to restore all our lost or invaded liberties at the earliest possible moment. A free America is a safe America.
