slider the question, is it right and
and meet to re-elect Woodrow

For more than three Years he

another. He has handled every
problem wisely and courageOusly,
with a fixed purpose 70 serve the

and sorrow it would bring, OF
the property it would destroy.
of the homes it would desolate
OF the billions of dollars it would
cost. Why have we escaped
such a horrible condition? Only
because Woodrow Wilson was
President. He has striven day

and to do so with honor. He
has been successful. The Ameri

at no time has he been found
