pEeglden& Of the American Truth
9oOeey, C14ttctsing his alleged
pEo-Britash policies. In his
an0wer, which was also made
puhf1c, the President said:
II would feel deeply mortified
yoGo nor me"
Tho OI>eary message in full fol-
lows:
Again we greet you with a popu-
lar disapproval OF your pro-British
policies. Last year from the Twenty
third New York Congress- onal Dis
tT1ct. and now from your own State
and from the voters OF your own
party. Senator MARITIME won because
thu voters OF New Jersey do not want
any trucking to the British Empire,
nor do they approve Of dictatorship
over Congress. Your foreign policies,
your failure to secure compliant e
with all American rights, your leni-
ency with the British Empire. your
approval of war loans, the ammuni-
ton trafiic, are issues in this cam
paiEn. Do you know that William s.
Bennett. a Republican Congressman.
ran In the Democratic primaries in
No Twenty-third New York Congress
lonal District and polled IS per cent
ofsthe total Democratic vote against
hiA regular Democratic opponent =?
Ankiomaniac and British interest may
control newspapers but they do not
control votes. The people maybe
readers. but they are not followers
Cf the newspapers. When. sir, will
you respond to these evidences OF
popular disapproval of your policies
By action? The MARITIME election and
Bennett vote proves you have lost
bupport amongst Democrats. Every
vote for MARITIME was a vote against
you, as was every Democratic vote
that went for Mr. Bennett in the
Twentythird New York Congress
oionAl District"
