and cast your vote?
The hour approaches—let nothing
Interfere with this solemn duty.
There can be nothing more important
to you and yours than the exercise of
this great privilege which has been
won for von by blood and tears.
Let there be no misconception
;‘.1icut the relative importance of the
Primaries an(/' the election. Both arc
equally important; but, if there is any
difference, the opportunities for evil
!- e greater through a neglect of the
Pi.:mary privilege than through a ne-
glect of the election.
Too often, when the Primaries ar-
rive, the average voter says: "Let
George do it."
And "George" inevitably does —
"George," the fellow who trails with
the professional politician and who,
lxcause of private and selfish reasons,
is bound to get out and vote.
Let "George" do it and you stultify
yourself — you deliver yourself and
your best interests into the hands- of
the men who work for self first and
country second—if ever.
This is the warning and the mes-
sage of William H. Hill, of Detroit,
to the voters of Michigan on the eve
of the Primaries.
Mr. I lill is a candidate for the Re-
publican nomination for United States
Senator. Now, with the Primaries
only a few hours away, he desires to
make his final statement, so that the
electorate of this state may vote wise-
ly and intelligently.
There are a few. important facts
that Mr. Hill has been emphasizing
and which he wishes you to carry
with you to the Primaries for your
guidance.
First —The times demand fearless
action. For the next few years, more
than at any time in the history of this
country, the men who hold down the
desks in the Congress of the United
States must have the courage of their
convictions.
Second — Senators should be men
of wide business experience and of
tested business judgment, because

running a government is, above all
else, a business proposition.
Third—The people of the United
States are the stockholders in this
"business" and their representatives
at Washington should truly represent
them—all of them—all the time.
Fourth —That Nlichigan is pecu-
liarly in need of such representation
in the United States Senate.
Mr. Hill asks: "Is it not time for a
new deal?"
If you agree with him that it is
time for a new deal—for the business
viewpoint of a trained business man—
you have your great opportunity in
the Primaries August 29th.
• Mr. I fill is thoroughly prepared for
the work. Fcw men have had the
thorough business training that has
been his—acquired through ,years. of
arduous labor that have been crowned
with success. To this business ex-
perience have been added wide travel
in this and foreign countries and close
study of the science of government.
Before you step to the polls at the
Primaries Tuesday, \1r. hill wishes
you to thoroughly understand the
brand of politics he represents—the
kind of Republicanism he practices.
He has been a Republican all his
life—always believing in and advocat-
ing the fundamental principles of that
party. But Nit-. I lill has the courage
of his convictions. Thus in 1912 he
believed that the conditions demanded
that he follow Colonel Roosevelt. At
the earnest solicitation of friends, lie
ran for the office of Congressman-at-
large at that time and polled the larg-
est •vote, next to Roosevelt, running
20,000 ahead of hi4 ticket and exceed-
ing the vote of the Republican nomi-
nee for Governor by 5,000— which
could only lx the record and accom-
plishment of a man of courage and
action.
11 r. f I ill has never abandoned his
belief in and his advocacy of the Abe
Lincoln principles of the Republican
party and believes that the wisest
course for all Progressives is to ally
themselves with the parent party.
In political theory and practice' he
is neither radical nor conservative,
but, rather, progressive; in other
words, he believes that the "old order
changeth," that new facts and condi-
tions must be faced. He believes in
growing, not in stagnating.
M r. Hill has a special message for
the Republica.is and Progressives
who so generously supported him in
1912. It is thus: If these voters de-
sire the same ideals they stood for
four years ago embodied in future leg-
islation and support him at the Pri-
maries August 29th they may be as-
sured that believers in progress and
humanitv will have a friend in court.
Equipped, prepared, and ready to
act, William II. Hill pledges himself
to represent the people of Michigan
and of the United States along the
lines herewith set forth. If you want
a business man and a new deal in the
United States Senate, put an X be-
fore the name of William H. Hill, at
the Primaries, Tuesday, August 29th.
