wO YEARS AGO the democrats awakng the political
liz } echoes with the slogan He kept us out OF war; lhe
slogan the republican party met deteat because IL
honor and selfespect OF this naton De
in dealing with insults injuries and outrages pracced upon
and upon humanity the German imperial government.
Today democrats making the political "ein ring
with the slogan by the presidenthe president VINO
kept us This the campaign cry from maine 10 s
in district where contest for Congress
It is the campaign cry of W. E. McCrosey OF this dlstrct
likewise the campaign c. c. Dill OF the nth dlstr WHO
voted against against other measures
Mr. Mroskev congraulate the republicans of this district
for repuda the primaries and says they should
step further and repudate their party and eject
democrat congress and just across the line IN the
district Mcroskeys democratic friends urging the election
of voted right down the line with Latolette
If the democratic slogan holds good in this district holds
good in the Spokane district McCroskey is entitled to any
votes on the ground democrat is vote OF con-
fdence administration Dill is entitled to the same con-
sideration the democratic slogan is worth Whoop can
the imaginary line which separates the wheat
fields of Paouse the pines of Spokane county In other
words the slogan is absolute tommyrot
Mr. McCroskey says n the first place consider the cleo
ton of year will be construed by allies
of the by President Wilson,
republican house would be considered as lack
o confidence eyes, ndeed No doubt the allies and likewise
administration would fall themselves with JOY were we
Ito send flock of Ds We would prob
ably have been running Russia close race Tor frst
the boob nation of the world we had majority OF demo-
cratic Dils in the house year
Would support of the have been less vigorous
M republican speaker instead of the honoed Champ
Clark who opposed the declaration of and went out OF his
way draft Would the snews OF war have been
anv es annie or more seconay provided republican had
been and committee instead OF
tchn voted against the and against the draft
necessary legislation have been retarded any more
that momentous uncue republican had been
the military instead of Mr. Dent from whose hands
administration Of the draft had to be taken ana
ried thru by republican?
Since America entered the war any republican who has raised
his voice in criticism has done SO at the
risk of being charged with dsoyal The democrats from the
41o4,,o have all
journed White House. yet Mr. McCroskey says In tine
place. believe congressman can better serve MS
f he administration party President wilson ana ms
party office during the term OF the next mouse anu our
district will probably have friendly consideration rep
by of the presidents In oner WORDS n
says politics have not been adjourned at the Wh
House and should be elected congress- not 10 ep WIN
the war; but to help the president play pohtcs.
These are the only points to his campaign policy says
the democratic canddate first that the allies Will feel Dady
other democrats not elected and
the president and his cabinet going to cut political melon
and as democrat will be able to carry OF shce
We invite our readers contrast the two only panks IN
Mr. McCrokey platform with the two opening panks In the
platform Of Dr. Summers the republican nominee hrs

and peace by victory.
Which shall It be- the man who be sent to
as or the asks to be sent to congress as an
the man who says stand by the president or the
who says stand by the trenches the man VINO says
he wants to go Washington to play politics. or the man VINO
says he willing sacrifice his interests 1or MS coun
try's good?
Dr. Summers has repeatedly publicly and privately thru
the nre and from the platform that elected he will support
J war measure regardless of where originates His
campaign slogan tand by the president but stand by
This includes the presidents includes stand
b public official high low measured by the horoness
with which public official stands by the governments stand
