seeking election. II is high time
that voters take cogr izance Of a
few very important facts which en-
| ter into the situation. Voters at the
| coming election are to be influenced
by number of facts which have
never before confronted them at the
| polls The conditions are such as
| to cause the strictest adhercnt of
| straight voting to stop and think
| before casting his ballot.
| Great crises have arisen during
the year 1914, situations which have
taxed every resource of the govern
ment. The great international web
| OF neace has been torn into shreds.
FROM across the seas, from the
south, we can almost fancy that we
bear the furious roar of cannon We
can almost picture the terrible car
image which tie dread machines of
war arc scattering on all sides. We
can almost hear the cries of despair
and picture the desolate homes.
But the blessings Of peace have
been secured for us. The great gov
crnmental machine has hen guided
over turbulent ways without the
semblance of hitch We cannot
hut appreciate the fact that the
present administration has accom-
Dlished tremendous task. that of
preserving peace and Of maintaining
prosperity at the same time. Has
ever such a tremendous task as that
which has confronted the present ad-
ministration been more effectively
performed? This country has felt the
pull of that nIaelstrom which has
drawn into its terrible depths some
Of the most powerful nations of the
earth, but by clever guidance, we
have rcen steerod out Of those
treacherous waters which lead to de-
struction.
The Democratic administration
led by the greatest constructive
statesman of the day has accor,
| plished all this, and more. The
amount of constructive Legislation
put through in the first few months
of the administration was unprece-
dented, and IL has not stopped. The
| benefit derived from these measures
has already been recognized by the
| country. 1t will be almost impos-
sible to judge their results now be
cause of the great handicap which
, the war has imposed.
The Democratic party has pre-
served peace when other great ma
| tions were going to war. President
| Wilsons S wonderful craftsmanship
and foresight prevented us from go
| ing to war with Mexico when there
| was every provocatiou to do SO. The
smoothness and rapidity with which
| the administration has responded TO
the urgent needs Of the present per-
| iod of disquiet abroad, has become
the admiration Of the country as a
whole, regardless OF party. Con-
Serva tism has marked every move
a. the administration. But for
! that we would haze been at war.
! But for that our national emblem
would have lost its reputation as the
| emblem Of peace. But for that we
| would have lost our national dignity
and the respect which we now com
| mand of every nation.
But for the wise measures adopt
cd by the administration to protect
| the business of this country from
the dire OBJECTS CT the war our COM
mercial prosperity would be serious
ly impaired.
There is but one thing for the
conservative voter to do in Novem-
| her and that is recognize these
great protective and constructive
measures which the Democratic ad-
ministration have taken, show his
| appreciation of its wise policy and
endeavor to best serve the need OF
his country by voting the entire
Democratic ticket.
Roger Sullivan, candidate for
senator, is a strong adherent OF the
policies of President Wilson and the
administration. He will ado
strength to that bulwark construct
ed by the administration to protect
the bushes; of the country from
the ravagess which foreign wal
would undoubtedly cause. He knows
what business needs. He is mar
fitted to administer to the needs o
business. He believes in applyin
the fundamentals of broad democ
raey to modern problems. He viii
