Lewis favored assuming that Ger

such invasion with an immediate sew

were so confident that Germany's
new war zone proclamation meant In

All understood that President VIII

tion that American rights would not
be violated, or whether to consider
Germany's announcement as ground
in itself for summary action.
Without disclosing what decision.

left the capitol, suggesting to sena-

During the day 1t had been made
clear that no communication had gone
forward to Germany, nor had Embas-
sador Gerard been given instructions
to inform the government of the state
OF feeling in the United States. That.
of course, has been done through the
German embassy, which continues to
express the firm conviction that there
is little hope OF averting diplomatic
break.

and lucrative Office of At
torney General for sixteen years,
at the handsome salary of $4,000
per annum. and has had his salary
increased to $4,000. He now has
the nerve to ask the Republicans
of this Circuit to give him this
same Office for 8 years more. Nef-
ily is there no end to Buttram's
appetite for public office.
Ii | am elected to this office,
pledge you not to ask for an In
crease of salary. Gen Buttram has
lobbied with every Legislature
during the last eight years to give
him an assistant and to have his
salary increased. The Legislature
of three years ago gave him an as
sistant at $500 per year, and the
last legislature increased his salary
from $500 to 5000 per year.
When Buttram first ran for At
torney General he declared that .
years in office ought to satisfy any
man. When he made his second
race he did it with the express
promise that he would not be a
candidate again, Notwithstand-
ing his repeated declarations and
promises to the contrary, he is now
a candidate for the third term of
an eight year office, and don't be
deceived my counlrymen. Butt
ram has the hardlhood to take this
office just as long as you will give
it to him.
If this office is burdenit ought
to be shared; if it is blessing 1t
ought to b. passed around.
Since the birth Of our govern
ment no man has had the presumpt-
tion to ask for a third term for the
Presidency of this country. The
Father of the Republic. George
Washington, set the precedent by
da.lininp third term. This just
rule has been accepted generally
as to all other offices. l know OF
no good reason for making an eX-
ception to this principal in behalf
of General Buttram. Surely his
administration Of the duties
Of the the office has not merrlted
this unusual consideration. Has
he reduced crime to any marked
degree. and have you heard OF any
reduction in court costs, as a result
of his init alive? | bet you have
heard of some young vlolaters VINO
happen to have Influential friends
who got the ear of the General; and
III wager also that you know OF
some Door unfortunate who has TO
take the full consequences OF MS
indiscretion by going to the work
house or peni' entiary.
l especially appeal to young men
This is a young mans office. The
second birth of freedom for this
country is now being purchased In
the bloody trenches of Europe with
the precious blood of the young
men of this country. AS young
man who has just past the draft
period. 1 earnestly call upon the
young men of this Judicial Circuit
to rally to my support, and L prom
Use you in return to give you an
administration of the Attorney
Generals office which shall be fair,
just and impartial, and free from
favoritism or oppression.
