Lemp.ke Republican Candidate for County Treasurer 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 WILLIAM H. HILL Candidate for the Republican Nomi- nation for United States Sena- tor August 29th. 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.
