DRIVE OUT
THE TRAITORS

Members OF congress take an oath
to support the United States before
they are permitted to sit in the seats
to which they were elected. Some
members of congress are violating
their oath daily. So long as the Unit
ed States was at peace with Germany
they were within their technical rights
in using their voices and votes against
war, says an exchange. Having been
overwhelmingly outyoted, and the Unit
ed States having entered into state
OF war with the German government,
these members of congress have no
right. legal or moral, to keep up their
opposition to the war. War today Is
a fact, not a theory or problem OF the
future, and loyal citizens OF this coun-
try there can be but one course TO
pursue-support the government OF
the United States.
There Is a little cabal of politicians,
especially in the senate, who are Civ.
ing n permanent exhibition OF arrant
disloyalty. They are Obstructing every
measure for carrying on the war. They
speak unfortunately for no other pur'
pose than TO delay action on important
matters. They are giving aid and com
fort to the enemy of the United States
1t Is high time that an outraged loyal
public put an end to this affront and
menace. II the senate and house lack
the courage or sense of decency tC
take action without 1t, the voice OF the
people should compel them to do so
Men have been expelled or compelled
to resign their seats in congress fol
offenses less grave than are now be
ing committed. There should be al
immediate congressional houseclean
ing. and the first to go should be RI
