STANDING BY
THE PRESIDENT

There can be but one issue at the
approaching election. No one would
have it otherwise if they could, no
one could change it if they would.
1t is the al-absorbing question of
standing together as unit for an
early and successful closing of this
war.
The issue was plain during the
spansh-American War, when the
late President Mckinley was Com
mandcr-n-Chief of the Army and
Navy. The issues were made plain
by ex-President Roosevelt, while
he was d candidate for governor Of
New York, speaking for the eTec-
ton of a Republican Congress and
appealing to the citizens to stand
behind President Mckinley while
he conducted the spanish-American
War.
Who is there to deny that in this,
the greatest Of all wars. when the
resources Of our Nation we're never
so greatly taxed; when accomplish
ments are only secured by the
greatest effort-who will say that
President Wilson should not have
the united support of the nation?
Who will say that Oklahoma should
send forward congressional dele
cation to rebuke his policies and to
hinder his program?

This duty embraces a cordial, cm-
