REGARDING JEFFERSON AND JACKSON
Fred White charges me with IAN onslaught on
the memory of democracys most celebrated apostles"
He interprets my words comparing the finances of

known lifetime, to construe figurative phrase
in manner utterly foreign to its real significance.
No one worships more reverently at the shrine of

this
WHY?
Fred White says that cannot be elected If nom-
mated Why? At the last election in four out of the
seven counties Of the district received more votes
than Woodrow Wilson. In my home county / re-
ceived 26 more votes than the head Of the ticket Is
it because the dsgruntled office seekers say Be-
young, untried man seeking to further his
personal ambitions; man from Fred Whites home
town. to be sure; whose praises are sung by no
less an authority than his village newspaper - is it
because this man says so? Did not enter the 1912
race practically without support? Did not win?
Have repudiated the vital issues endorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson? Have been unfaithful or remiss in my
official duties? The contention is unfounded on
facts.
Would Fred White have issued his recent letter
if he had remained in the race for governor or
senator? Would the eXgencleS OF the SITUATION nave
impressed him as it seems to have now? Fred White
has been honored many times by Iowa. In FOUR out
of the FIVE times that his name has been on the
democratic ticket for an elective office have trav
eled at my own expense thousands of miles to vote
for him and other democrats. In 1885, with repub-
lcan administration under which I served frowning
upon political activity Of democratic government en-
ployes, travelled at my expense throughout the
state and made ninety-six speeches for William Jen-
nings Bryan Attacks upon my voting record
absolutely unfair.
Fred White has needlessly gone out of his way to
wound and injure me- My record, as is Fred Whites,
is an open book We fought in the same bloody war,
he with the Thirteenth Iowa Infantry and with the
Second Iowa Infantry. We offered ourselves upon
the same altar. We marched together, we starved
and thirsted we fought with the best Of them and
never turned our backs to the foe until victory was
won.
We are near the end Of our lives. Memorial Day
this year will not only signify for us day Of rever
ence and love for the departed but will bring us to
solemn realization that before many years we, too,
shall Join our bunkes and comrades in the Great
Beyond.
It is with inexpressible sorrow that it is Fred
White whom honor as man and comrade, who
must be the one whose name mention and whose at
tack meet in defense Of my honor.
