Reasons Why— \
! — , i
The Women and Men of Nebraska Should Vote for jj
•I Governor Alfred E. Smith for President £
Jj On November 6th, 1928 £
wi*» WMM. mm
HUMANE AND SENSIBLE £
!ALFRED E. SMITH has done more to promote human !;
fare and social justice in New York than any other ;■
n in public life throughout the history of the state. His ;I
ord of accomplishment in behalf of the sick, the poor,
i those with physical or mental disabilities, and his Ij
sess in improving the living conditions of the people jl
i whole, mark him as unique among our statesmen for >|
contribution to social progress. To the service of Ij
se who are of step in the march of life he has brought ;■
/arm and sympathetic understanding, aided by keen jl
dligence, practical common sense and a passion for Ij
ts. I;
HUMBLE ORIGIN—A GREAT LEADER ;■
ALFRED E. SMITH was born in humble surroundings. !;
has never lost touch with or failed in sympathy for the ;»
>r. His record as Governor of New York for four jl
ms, his public activity as a member of the legislature Ij
Mew York, his addresses in the pending campaign and Jj
state papers, prove that he is a great leader. Very ;I
ently Charles E. Hughes, the former Governor of New ■;
rk and former Justice of the Supreme Court of the !j
ited States, and a republican, in speaking of Governor ;>
ith, said: “He is an expert in government. The title |!
holds is the proudest title that any American can hold, •}
ause it is a title to the esteem and affection of his !'
ow citizens." J>
A ballot cast for Alfred E. Smith for President is ;I
ote for an honest, capable, humane, far-seeing man. !;
i to the polls and let honest argument—not prej- jj
ice rule your decision. jj
