to the tornado resistance that came
UP against every other war engaged
in by the United States with the pos
sible exception of the war with Spain.
The character of the opposition, the
standing of the six senator's and fifty
congressman who voted against the
President is such as to make even a
"Peace at any Price" man blush be-
hind his ears. Outside of two sena-
tors and five representatives, no one
outside of their own districts ever
heard of them or knew they were
alive. Mere space occupiers repre-
senting the combined inefficiency, in
competence, mediocrity and egotism
Of the Congress.
The people of the country are behind
the President and are united as never
before. They are determined that
American rights and American honor
and American manhood shall be main
tanned.

The FIRE and, vigor in the wording OF

the United States government. For
instance, this paragraph is a gooi rep
resentation of the whole: Resolved
That we, the men and women of Pen
nington, in mass meeting assembled,
regardless of difference of race, creed,
sect or party, bound by common
love Of democracy and liberty, uhre-
servedly pledge our lives and our all
TO insure the defeat of the German
conspiracy against the liberties OF
mankind. And if the need TO
accept some privation shall, in the Tor
tunes of war, be imposed upon us we
pledge ourselves to bear it with loyal
good will, conscious that thereby we

necessary consequence, languor and
