Since tho increased rate of pay
and the recent bill granting addi-
tional allowances for dependents,
many men are enlisting in the Navy

families as well as successfully con-
tinuing payments on their existing
obligations,
“Patriotism, common sense, and
the instinct of self-preservation are
foremost in the minds of all men
within the ages affected by Selec-

VOTE FOR “The Man of The People”
Sen. W. LIE 0'DANIEL
For Senator at the polls - SATURDAY, AUGUST 2Z
He Is No “YES-MAN”
He is No “RUBBER STAMP”
He Calls A SPADE A SPADE
He’s Against COMMUNISM
He’s Against LABOR RACKETEERING
He’s Against VIOLENCE in WAR PLANTS
He’s Against DICTATION, INTIMIDATION
He Believes In MAN’S RIGHT TO WORK
He’s Against CENTRALIZING POWER
He’s Against SOCIALIZING BUSINESS
YET--
Since Pearl Harbor—as his voting record shows—he
has stood by the PRESIDENT in furthering the war
effort. Doubtless he will continue to do so—alike as to
winning the war and the peace which follows. . . .
He has been upbraided with being an “isolationist”; he
is ot that, and he can be counted upon, when the timjs
comes, to support the PRESIDENT in his efforts to
establish a peace which will endure!
Certainly, fully comparing his official service-record
with that of his opponent, Senator O’Daniel far more
conspicuously has earned and deserves the nomination
in the run-off on August 22!
