- Noy. 3, 1916. 
Union. Are you any prouder of be- 
ng an American today than you were 
when Theodore Roosevelt was Presi- 
dent? Is your patriotism on a weak- 
er basis than three years ago? Is 
there any place where the American 
flag is more respected than it was 
three years ago? If you believe in 
Safety First as an American policy 
_ I have no appeal to make to you, but 
if you believe in providing for the 
_ future generations I can appeal to 
_ you. America is at the parting of the 
ways. One course is symbolized by a 
- picture of voluptuous ease, the other 
and harder course leads to national 
honor and a glorious history. I be- 
_ lieve we are going to take the latter 
course by returning to an administra- 
tion by the party which stands for 
national honor.”

ELECTION NEXT TUESDAY 
Manchester is looking forward to 
the national election next Tuesday 
with about as much interest as the 
average community. The vote in 
Manchester will be, as usual, pre- 
dominantly republican. Registration 
closed last Saturday evening at Io 
o’clock with a total enrollment of 692 
voters, the largest number which has 
ever been registered for an election in 
Manchester. There are 22 women 
registered who may vote on_ school 
questions. Manchester has 874 as- 
sessed polls this year. 
Manchester’s vote on presidential 
electors in former years and for gov- 
ernor and representative in ‘Congress 
is interesting, for the purposes of 
comparison.
