"The Empire of Japan has in these few years of peace we have been granted prospered; our economy is growing faster than it has in decades, our workers are all employed, and our people are fed and happy; even the perfidious invaders have been contained in short order; the National Liberals shall, if re-elected, continue to drive back the invaders, and continue to win Japan honour in the field and prosperity at home! Shall we trust the leaders of bickering coalitions, unable to work in unity with one another, to lead our armies to triumph, or to direct our economy, or to provide good, effective governance? Why then shall we change course, in time of both prosperity and conflict? The National Liberal Party, the party of victory, growth, and progress, the party that has governed Japan for a generation with unimaginable success, the party that triumphed over the French, the Italians, the Russians, and the Spaniards, the party that made Japan what it is; vote for the National Liberals, and continue this strong and proud tradition."

"Friends and comrades, farmers and industrial workers, now is a pivotal election for our Japanese nation. The Farmer-Labor party is fighting alongside our friends in the Kensei Minshutou and the Jiyudo Party to unseat the 35 year reign of the National-Liberal Party and the Dateist Oligarchy. The National-Liberals are the protectors of big business and imperialism. If you are a man of Japan who loves his native country and does not wish to see its sons sacrificed in meaningless wars vote for the Farmer-Labor Party. If you are a man of Japan who knows of the strength of our agricultural and peasant past and wishes to strengthen our peasantry vote Farmer-Labor! We will support agricultural subsidies and strict land redistribution to our peasants in order to raise every man up to his highest potential and to increase our agricultural production in order to feed every man of Japan and end our shameful reliance on foreign markets! If you want to see the government support trade unions and the end of the shameful practice of appointing members of the upper house, vote Farmer-Labor!
Rise, men of Japan to the polls to ensure the economic stability, international peace, and independence of the Japanese nation. Vote Farmer-Labor!"
