BLANTON
for Congress
Election Next Tuesday
LADIES—
If you had an important law suit in Washington that could affect
your pocket book, would you engage the most competent lawyer you
could find to represent you, or would you prefer to place the matter
in the hands of your sister or your aunt for the honor and social pres-
tige they would get by being sent to Washington? On your honor,
now which one would you choose ? So would we. Go to the polls on
next Tuesday and vote for Blanton to represent you m Congress.
AMERICAN LEGION MEN—
If your Buddie had been illegally held as an msane person and was
being robbed of what the government was paying him, would1 you ap-
preciate the services of a Congressman who would prove that such
person was being unlawfully held and assist them to recover their
freedom, and get a square deal, and have the official that had been
profiteering on them impeached and finally sent to the penitentiary?
Blanton did all of this and more, read the report in The Congressional
Record and then let nothing keep you from going to the polls on next
Tuesday and voting to send Blanton back to Congress.
TAXPAYERS— ' 1
Did you know that Congressman Blanton uncovered the trickery of
a member of the President’s Cabinet where you were being robbed,
and that a jury has found said Cabinet Officer guilty and assessed a
term in the penitentiary? There are 435 members of Congress but
only Blanton had the nerve to charge a Cabinet Officer with crook-
edness. Show your appreciation of Blanton’s fearlessness by going to
the polls on next Tuesday and voting to send Blanton back to
Congress.
WOOL & MOHAIR GROWERS—
No one has to tell you that you need a Friend m Congress. The prices
you are receiving for your wool and mohair testify more eloquently
than words. Yosi know that something is wrong. Go to the polls next
Tuesday and vote to send Thomas L. Blanton back to Congress, and
remember that this is an election where every qualified voter can vote
regardless of party.
FARMERS—
Do you feel that you are getting a square deal, and that it makes
no difference whether you are properly represented in Congress or
not ? No, you know that something is wrong. Then go to the polls next
Tuesday and vote to send Blanton back to Congress, every one that
is a qualified voter can vote regardless of party.
LABORING MEN—
Blanton pledges to you that he will, if you send him back to Com
gress strive to have all immigration suspended1 until 1935 thus
preserving American Jobs for American people with American stand-
ards of living. Let nothing prevent you from going to the polls on
next Tuesday and voting to send Blanton back to Congress.
RED-BLOODED AMERICAN CITIZENS—
Remember at the close of the war while other Congressmen were
junketing in Europe at Government (Your) expense that your Con-
gressman, Thomas L. Blanton, was hard at work m Washington, doing
his utmost to help the boys over there who won the war. If you had
no one over there remember that your friends and neighbors did,
and that no member of Congress exceeded Blanton ip unselfish ser-
vice to the boys in uniform who won the war for you. Go to the polls
on next Tuesday and vote to send Blanton back to Congress.
