note of the campaign and define the
lines along which the fight will be
conducted.
A patriotic support of President
Wilson and the constructive policies
of the Wilson administration will be
the star feature of Candidate Drury's
speaking and campaign work.
Mr.. Drury profoundly believes that
an overwhelming majority of people
in the district favor President Wilson
and his constructive legislation, and
that to consistently represent the dis.
trict in Washington the congressman
elected must also be a conscientious
supporter Of the president.

ed Of and the organization of these
will be feature of the campaign.
E. L. Hiberly, a prominent state
Democrat and close friend of Mr..
Drury, said Saturday morning:
I'VE mean to press the congressior-
a! fight in Southwestern Washington
little harder and make it little
warmer this fall than in any previous
campaign since this district was or
ganized
I'VE very sensibly feel that Pres.
dent Wilson and his progressive legs-
lation should be supported by the
Southwest of this state. At present
the district, through it's representa-
tive at Washington, stands in violent
antagonism to the administration.
This is widely at variance with the
true sentiment of the people of
Southwestern Washington who very
positively and almost to a person ad-
mire the president and Loyalty sup
port his measures.
"The great question at Washing
ton, therefore, is why should this dis
trict, believing in and standing for
the administration, have a congress
man there fighting the administra-
! ton?
"The people of the Southwest now
stand ready we believe, to repudiate
this situation, and with standard
bearer like Mr.. Drury, who is and has
been passionately supporting the pres
ident and his policies, all the admir-
ers of the Wilson administration have
the opportunity to place their sane
tion and approval on the deeds of the
president by casting their vote for
the man who will go down to Wash
ngton and Loyalty support him.
