President of the United States from

mnistration that the American people
freed poor downtrodden Cuba from
the cruel yoke of Spain. We went in
to Cuba in the name of humanity, and
added another free government to
civilization and the world. Who is

of war? Let the craven answer.

ident of the United States from 1885

one of the worlds greatest military
strategist, he was the man who. after
victory begged his countrymen to
Let us have peace"
WHO KEPT US OUT OF WAR;?
Ans. Not Abraham Lincoln, Republican,
President of the United States from
1851 to 1865 In his first inaugural
address, he pleaded with those who
were bent upon destroying this ma
ton. Though passion may have
strained it must not break our bonds
of affection" But the die was then
cast Seven States had already served
notice that they had seeded from the
Union Lincoln's choice was between
dissolution of the Union and civil

fonr million

war;? Let the craven answer.

tes for seventy years except Lincoln

HAS MIR. WILSON KEPT US OUT OF
WAR?
Ans. On April 20, 1914, by his direction,
our navy sheled and captured Vera
Cruz, the principal seaport of Mexico.
NINETEEN AMERICAN MARINES
WE'RE KILLED AND SEVENTY
WOUNDED. The Mexican loss was
1875 killed and 1875 wounded
At the battle of Carrizal. Mexico,
between our troops and those of Car
rama, 23 American soldiers were kill
ed and many wounded; Mexican loss
unknown.
We are now threatened with inva-
sion. President Wilson refuses to re-
call the militia from Texas. WHY?
This is his answer to Governor Whit
man of New York, who urged him to
let the men come back to vote Said
the President:
1.-THE militia have been used and
are being used to repel invasion and
are rendering service of the high
est quality and most urgently need
ed character to their country"
If this is Peace, then should the
name of Woodrow Wilson be added to
the list of those who have kept us
out of war;" but at a sacrifice of ma
tiona honor?
There is no merit in the Wilson plea that
he has kept US out of war. AS campaign
slogan 1t is an attempt to secure votes un-
der false pretenses-the bold operation OF
political confidence game
LET US THEN LEARN THIS LESSON:
The Republican party has shown by its past
achievements that it is the most capable Of
meeting the crises of government 1t is the
party of peace, progress, patriotism pros
perity and protection
