From the eleven States which seeded

Administration Of President Buchanan
there are now 22 Democratic Senators
and 30 Democratic members of Con-
gress, and on November there may
be chosen from these eleven Southern
States 12s Democratic electors who will
cast their votes for Woodrow Wilson.
and these 12S electoral votes will not
cost the Democratic National Committee
one dollar, but on the contrary these
eleven Southern States will contribute
very large sum Of money--it may be
$250.000 ore more-for the purpose of
defeating Republican Presidential elec-
ors. United States Senators and Con-
sressmen in Northerp States. Is this
American patriotism. Southern sectional
