PEACE OR WAR TIE ISSUE.

Speaking at Battle Creek. Mich.
Sept 80 last. Theodore Roosevelt said:
81 have been asked what would have
done had ! been President whom the
Lusitania was torpedoed.
81 would have instantly taken posses
sion of every German ship interned in
this country and then would have
said; Now we will discuss, not what
we will give, but what we will give
baokp"
THAT WOULD HAVE MEANT
WAR!
1t would have been a challenge to
the German nation to a trial at arms.
IL would have been violation of ev-
cry principle Of neutrality. and at
time. with all Europe under arms.
when this country was the trustee of
and the only nation capable of uphold.
Ing neutral rights.
The seizure itself would have been
an act of war, Just as the seizure of
German interned ships by Portugal
was regarded as an act OF war and
was followed by an immediate declara-
don Of war by Germany against Por-
tugal
Following the same line of war talk,
speaking at Lewiston, Maine, Aug. 81
last, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
The policies of Americanism and
preparedness, taken together, mean
applied patriotism. There should be
correlation Of policy and armament
America, which sprang to the
succor of Cuba In 1898, has stood an
idle spectator of the invasion of Bel
gium, the sinking of the Lusitania, the
continued slaughter of our own citi-
zens, and OF the reign of anarchy.
rapine and murder I'm Mexico"
These are the deliberate declarations
Of the man with whom Candidate
Hughes has said, al AM IN COM
PLETE ACCORD" and Hughes has
publicly congratulated Roosevelt for
what he said.
From their public statements the
conclusion is inevitable that If either
Roosevelt or Hughes had been Presi-
dent when the Army of the Kaiser In
vaded Belgium we would have had
war with Germany; that when the IJu-
sitonia was sunk that we would have
had war with Germany. and that now
we would have instant war with Ger
many over the submarine raids in the
Atlantic Ocean off the Massachusetts
Coast.
Must we not agree with President
Wilson when speaking at Shadow
Lawn on Sept. 30, last, he said:
Am 1 not right that we must draw
the conclusion that IL the Republican
party is put into power at the next
election, our foreign policy will be rad
ically changed?
II cannot draw any other Inference.
All our present foreign policy is wrong.
they say, and If 1t is wrong and they
are men of conscience they must change
1t.
And If they are going to change It.
In what direction are they going to
changer THERE is ONLY ONE
CHOICE AS AGAINST PEACE, AND
THAT is WAR"
No other conclusion can be drawn.
What is YOUR conclusion, thought
full citizen?
In the last analysis, the election will
be decided by the farmer vote. And so
on the farmer is the responsibility of
whether this country shall have peace
or war.
The only assurance that the country
will not be needlessly plunged into war
is for YOU to vote for Woodrow VIII
son.
FOR PEACE OR WAR YOUR CON.
SCIENCE AND YOUR VOTE MUST
DECIDE.

"HE HAS KEPT us OUT OF WAR"

This is the face of a man strong coura-
geous, patient and kindly, man.
Always alert to the aspirations of his fellow
man and sympathetic toward their fulfiIIment;
NeOer complacent toward the encroachments
of privilege nor tolerant of social wrong;
Always seeking to enhance the dignity of
labor and better the state of the toiler;
Never lending to the sophistry of ex-
ploitation or the Establishments of expediency;
Always patient to hear and weigh, to APP
praise and analyze, and passionate to find the
way of right
NeOer premature in purpose prejudiced
