Give Us CONSUMPTION

Representative Comstock must not hesitate
in voting for the universal military bill. The
Sixth district is made up of red blooded Ameri-
cans who believe that CONSUMPTION is absolutely
fair to every one and that no man ought to have
an opportunity to shirk his duty by refusing to
enlist voluntarily. We can see no reason why
Representative Comstock need hesitate long.
The QUESTIONABLE he is said to be conducting in
the Sixth district may be feeler to find out how
his constituency stands, but it strikes us that
the Old Burnt District will not hesitate long in
telling him how it feels about CONSUMPTION. Rep
resentative Comstock has an opportunity to
prove at the very outset of his congressional
career that he believes in voting for the best in
terests of his country. In an hour when danger
threatens the Sixth district expects its represen-
tative to act courageously and fearlessly.

that the United States does not want to make war
