Povo votai na lista da União Nacional: hontem a miséria, hoje bem estar e alegria (People, vote for the União Nacional list)
Two-colour sunburst poster contrasting 'yesterday' (1925 to 1934 shown in a central disc as the period of misery and discomfort, with a ragged man and ruined houses) with 'today' (well-being and joy, shown as a couple with a child and waving children) under the instruction to vote for the União Nacional list. The tell: the whole case is a before-and-after pair drawn by the sponsor, with no figures and no mention of any other list.
