What Governors Say
About Liberty Loan
Baltimore, Md, Oct. 26, 1917

Governor Cats, of Florida, says:
The most contemplate OF all slack
ers is the one who Stacks with MS
dollars and that amy /. an VINO
fails to support his Government IN
this hour OF trial is doing Just that
much to make world democracy
failure"
Governor Alexander, of Idaho: A
Liberty Bond is souvenir OF patrl-
otism well performed. 1t will save
the lives of. our boys on the 0attle-
field, save the integrity OF the Union
and brighten the stars upon our
flag"
Governor Capper, of Kansas, says:
1T is either bonds now or bondage
later" and that AL redblooded
Americans should count it privilege
10 buy Liberty Bonds.
Governor Boyle, of Nevada: I'm
less the Government stands back OF
the people we are lost, and unless
the people stand back OF the Govern
ment both are lost.
Governor Burnquist, OF Minneso-
ia: The eyes of all nations are
now on the United States. By raising
ample funds the lives OF many OF our
men will be saved, and the saving OF
life is more important than the saw
ins of money. But by the purchase
of bonds our people are saving both
their money and the lives OF our
boys"
Governor Gardner, of Missouri:
He who does not respond cheer1ully
tc this call does not merit the priVl-
lege and the protection OF this Gov
eminent.
Governor Edge, of New Jersey:
Our brave sons called to the colors
have already dedicated their lives TO
the cause of democracy, and yet they
are also ready and willing to set
apart some of their modest monthly
wage to help finance the war. NO
mmey-earning American not in the
military service has any excuse Tor
failure to enlist in the Liberty Loan
Army"
Governor Whitman, of New York:
In the State of New York 10000
men have already enlisted IN the
military forces of the nation, prepar-
ed. to give to the cause to which our
land is committed the last full mea-
sure of devotion. Can it be possible
that we who stay at home enjoying
the security that is ours, safe from
exposure and hardships or personal
Danger, are going to be found want
ing when called upon merely to loan
our means to the promotion OF the
cause for which others are ready to
give their Eves?
Governor Cox, of Ohio, says: THE
money Stacker is deserving of less re-
spect than the man in whom a ma
t.ttal fear causes hesitation IN the
offer of his life for the army. 1t is
the duty of everyone to do his bit,
morally, physically and financially.
Governor Williams, Of Oklahoma:
..r'can no more conceive OF American
citizens failing to oversubscrlbe
second issue of the Liberty Loan than
can conceive of American troops
laying down their arms and surren-
dering after receiving a command
from their officers to charge"
Governor Withycombe, of Oregon:
1T is unthinhable that this country
should fail with its second Liberty
Loan when European nations have
financed many loans during the three
years of struggle. At this perllous
time we owe American soldiers loyal,
fa1l-hearted support, that their eff
cheney may be guaranteed and their
-.ctory brought nearer"
Governor Hobby, of Texas: "A
Liberty Bond is a certificate of hon
or and the best investment on earth.
Anyone who fails in this respect is
Stacker beyond dispute"
Co,rxx-aIl of WQcf VIr-
ginia: cit is inconceivable that the
people of the country will fail to
measure up to the standard set for
them by the men who have given and
are ready to give their lives. 1t is
SO solemn duty no one can sh1rk
If"
Governor Houx, of Wyoming:
Every Liberty Bond sold increases
for Germany the shattering shock OF
the second American shot heard
around the world-President Will
sons splendidly inspired statement
of Americas war aims"
Governor Graham, of Vermont:
THE time is here when he who has
a, son must give him for his country,
when he who has money must at
least loan it to his country, ana give
both freely if required. Let all men
and women deny themselves, that
they may contribute according to
their means"
Governor Stuart, of Virginia:
Nothing can be clearer than the fact
that we must pay now to win the
war or pay an hundredfold later on
in indemnities. We must pay to win
the war now or pay later in national
humiliation, in defeat, in the blood
