SOME CAMPAIGN BUNK

EDCAR HUGHES, of Spruce, W. Va, has
II dug up some of the campaign cards issued
by President Wilson's national committee, last
year, under the personal direction of Robert W.
Wooley, recently appointed to an important OF
fetal position by President Wilson.
On one card, circulated by the millions, ap-
peared in big, black type:
''Wilson kept us out of Uar! What OouLd
RooseUelt's candidate do? Do you Ddnt
uniuersaI military seruice? Do you tOant
beligerent foreign policy? Do you tOdnt
yourself to be made cannon fodder to con-
quer Mexico for the benefit of Wall Street?
Do you want uUar? No! Then Uote for
Wilson,"
On the other side of the card appeared the
following:
"Haue you stopped to think? A Oote
against Wilson is a Uote for Wall Street, tor
industrial OPPRESSION for lotUer lOGges, tor
longer hours, for more pouOer tor the feW,
for less bo,ver for the many, for government
bu and for special privilege, for miLitdrism.
Jingoism, uUar, and a uote against your best
interests If you don't knoU. then you don't
kno1u the real issues of This campaign. Find
out for yourself Who is fighting Wilson
and why? When you haUe found out Where
euery champion of the lDorkers stand and
tuhu, then you luil uote for Wilson.
Another Democratic campaign card read as
follows:
"There are million MANNED and blinded
boys in Europe today. There are millions
of homes to lUhich loUed ones Diu neOer re-
turn. There Would be million mourning
homes in America today had the United
States entered the European Odr. You are
still surrounded by those you loUe. You
must uote for Wilson and keep him in
Washington"
In the meantime this modern Ananias sits at
the right hand OF the throne partaklng OF the
fruits of victory that stultihed the victors and
places them before the people in their true col
ors-that of political mountebanks.
