Patriot Americans Have Just
Begun to Fight
The Surrender of Few Patronage Grabbing Congmen to Great
britain Does Not Mean That the People Have Surrendered
. , '

The pitiful Britain of the tmid patron
hunters the House of Representatives was not an inspiring
spectacle But do not for minute imagine that means the
surrender of the American people.
The group of Democratic Congressman who deserted the
the party and violated the party platform in order to
help President please the English Government about
representative of the American people the Tories the col
representative of the who fought and the
Revolution.
In all parts of the country meetings have been held at
tended by thousands of citizens who protested forb against
the abandonment of American independence.
The people just awakening to what going Wash
ngton The stirring speech of Speaker Clark did not avail
against bound and gagged parcel of frightened Administration
Democrats But will be read and approved by the American
people.
The firm of Oscar W. Underwood other i'm
portant Democrats the House will be appauded the North
well in the South
Such fight as those two made not be made in
vain. The kind of fight Bunker Hill There
as in the House the British victory that cost them
1t may be month two before the decisive battle of pa
troc Americans against British arrogance fought the Sen
ate In that of time real American sentiment will make
itself heard in Washington
The Administration has used all its British supplied
munon The people like Paul Jones' when asked by the
sh commander if he had struck his coors reply We have
Just begun to fight
We know now thanks recent fit of frank
that his plea that he needed Congress help ward off
foreign complications was idle
We have his word that he has asked and expects
return for his proposed sacrifice of the right this country
profit by the Canal which the people built paid for
WE KNOW NOW THERE is NO REASON WHAT
EVER FOR SURRENDERING TO GREAT BRITAIN, ASIDE
FROM THE DETERMINATION OF THE PRESIDENT TO
FORCE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SHARE HIS FRIEND
SHIP FOR THAT COUNTRY
The fight has been Senate Fortunately
Senators hereafter WILL BE ELECTED Ely POPULAR VOTE
They will be close to the people the
of Representatives. and they will respond readily
the popular demand that they like Americans
Tories.
AS American citizens it now becomes your duty
to make your Senators understand the situation.
Before the time comes for the final vote the
members of the House who were faithless to their
country will be marked men,
The favor they have gained from the Admins
tration will be but poor compensation for the con
tempt of their constituents
Make your Senator understand that you now
must trust in him to uphold your rights
Tell him what you think of the Congressman
who deserted you, and that you do not want to
think the same thing of HIM
Ask him to forget the little squabbles patronage which
demean public and to join forces with Clark
and Underwood in real battle for American independence
There will be gagrue the Senate The fight there will
be long and BUT THE REAL FIGHT WILL COME
BEFORE THE SENATE EVEN BEGINS TO TALK ABOUT
THE BILL
This will be your fight Whether your country or Great
Britain depends YOU. it as your foreathers
went into the long struggle for independence you keep
