ENOUGH IS

f.

AN IMPORTANT
MESSAGE . . .
WORTHY OF
THE ATTENTION
AND INTEREST
OF ALL VOTERS
IN DETROIT

"Everybody wants to get into the act" ... so says at popular radio comedian.
THAT'S what's wrong with the Government today. This isn't funny . . . it's
PATHETIC, it's SERIOUS ! Unnecessary food shortages exit in this land
of plenty . . . the housing situation makes our veterans sometimes wonder
whether the whole thing was worthwhile . . . education and school facilities
are ridiculously limited . . . there's a terrific steel shortage . .. try to buy an
automobile . . . we have "a shortage of transportation facilities . . . all kinds
of strikes make the headlines daily . . . there's no peace of mind . . . no confi-
dence in the future . . . nothing but unrest. Is that what YOU want? Of
course not!

Isn't it time we did something about it . . . to do some house-cleaning in
Washington? Isn't it time that we put intelligent men of practical experience
and keen vision in Congress, to put America back on its feet as soon as pos-
sible? Remember, AMERICA IS ONLY AS STRONG AS ITS CONGRESS
. . . never forget that for a minute. We need teamwork in Congress. We must
get rid of the "bunglers" and put men in office who have proven themselves
outstanding citizens by their past records. Let's take the guess-work out of
our future by entrusting the job of getting things done to capable men.
There is too much Government control right now. Let's give America
back to Americans. Let's give business the go-ahead sign -to
produce in a big way, and we will see plenty of everything for
everyone. Competition will bring costs down to pre-war levels,
then everyone will be able to buy the things they need and want
at prices they can afford to pay.

Strictly on the basis of merit, you should vote for HOWARD A.
COFFIN. His fine record as a citizen speaks for itself. Never
before in Detroit's history has a man run for Congress who was
better qualified. HOWARD A. COFFIN has never before held
political office. He was drafted by a large group of Detroiter:
in every walk of life to help America get things done now .
right away; so that men, women and children can benefit with-
out suffering further aggravation.

If you are dissatisfied with the mis-management and confusion
now going on in Washington . .. If you are NOT satisfied with
our country's present domestic affairs or its foreign policy, then
regardless of party affiliations—let's send HOWARD A. COFFIN
to Congress, by electing him on Tuesday, November 5th.
