CALLS PAPER FOR
ARSENAL DAMAGE
John Berwald, Davenport, Defends
Work of Local Congressman in
Behalf of Government Plant.

John Berwald of Davenport in
note to The Argus encloses two COM
munications he has addressed to the
Chicago Tribune calling its attention
to the damage it is doing to Rock Is
land arsenal in terming without war
rant appropriations for government
manufacture as pork and repudlat-
ing in strong language the charge that
what Congressman Tavenner is seek
ing in appropriations for the arsenal
is in any sense pork This, he says,
is one of the greatest injustices that
have ever been laid against a con-
gresham, for if war supplies are be-
ing manufactured by the government
there is no chance for graft on the
part of Mr.. Congressman. So here is
another chance where you as an Hi
nois newspaper should defend Mr..
Tavenner and do some good for your
state"
Mr.. Berwald in his letter to The
Argus speaks of the nature of the
opposition to Congressman Taven-
ner's efforts in behalf of appropria-
tons for Rock Island arsenal and
points to the fact that something
should be done in the tri-cities to hold
up the hands of the Rock Island con-
gresham in his work for government
manufacture and the arsenal in par
ticular.

Gratis Of Maine met here today to
choose delegates to the national con-

Discussion of various issues has re-

form containing no reference to the
liquor question.
The foreign policy of President Will
son and the record of congress under
democratic control were praised by
United States Senator Charles F. John
son in his address as chairman of the
convention.
THE president inherited from a for
mer administration a most difficult
situation in Mexico" said Senator
Johnson, land now that a leader of
band of marauders has invaded our
soil and murdered our citizens, an oc-
casion has arisen which justifies the
sending of an armed force into Mexico
to arrest and punish the perpetrators
Of this crime.
THE president has accomplished
without the shedding of a drop of
American blood all that we could have
hoped to have accomplished by war
with either Germany or Austria.
Il am glad that he is using the pow
er Of his great Office and his great tall
ents as a public speaker in impress
ing upon the people of this country
the necessity for an adequate prepara-
ton for the defense of its honor, its
liberty, it's sovereignty and the homes
and lives of its people"
