FEARS NAVY SHORTAGE OF TORPEDOES

THE lack of torpedoes for our
feet practically places the vessels OF
the United States navy at the mercy
of any foe that might attack them.
The navy has today not more than
700 torpedoes-the sinews of war that
Japan employed to wipe out the fleets
of Russia and China. This means that
we have only torpedoes enough to
fire two shots each from the 463 tor
pedo tubes of our warships. If these
first shots did not destroy the enemy.
our destroyers, submarines and torpe-
do boats might just as well never have
been built"
This was the astounding condition
revealed the other day by Congress
man Fred A. Britten of Chicago.
Mr.. Britten, who fathered bill for an
appropriation of $7,O00,0OO for a gov
eminent steel armor plant, also made
the statement that the three steel ar

DALE FOR
CONGRESS

To the voters of the Second District;
ask your consideration as a can
didate for Congress. The man who
makes this request ought to meet
and talk with the people of his dis
trict. Not only candidate. but q
representative, should consult with
substantially every voter of his dis
trict at least once a year. This is q
requirement Of the fast advancing
conditions of the time. A represent
ative should be, willing to give all
his time, and all his place pays him,
to his work. Other inducements
than vacations and salary should at
tract him. His chief ambition should
be to know the needs Of the people
OF his district and to strive without
ceasing to advance them. This course
is dependent on and requires earnest
attention to national issues, and
these latter are surely going to be
of vital interest in the near future.
Questions will soon engage the at
tention of Congress of so great
moment that tinkering the Constitu
tion and playing the game of party
politics will be overshadowed, and
ability sincerely applied to principals
will make men forget petty differ
ences and act perforce from q sense
of justice.
The same force of character that
has propelled the Republican party
is innate III a distinctive class of
American manhood. The nation will
demand it, and from men who repre-
sent a defined constituency The
time has. passed when it is necessary
for a man to announce that he will
be progressive in public matters--he
has got to be. -. SIS =
| do not want to-, write to names.
If you will wait tor me, | will go to

vance with your ideas. and to deal with

and just manner. My time and
means and strength and character
will be subject to your requirements.
If you believe in me when l talk with
you individually, and endorse what

I shall hope for your support.
With this general statement Of re-
quirement and conduct as applied to
