The great point for electors who
believe it would be a crime to send
Henry Ford to the United States
senate to consider is this:- Who is
the stronger of his two opponents on
the republican ticket? The only
danger of nominating Mr.. Ford on
the republican ticket is the fact that
the opposition to him may be some
where equally divided between Mr..
Osborn and Mr.. Newberry. Tech
nically speaking, vote for the minor
ity candidate as between Mr.. New
berry and Mr.. Osborn will be a half
vote for Mr.. Ford. The True North
erner does not presume to state for
a certainty just which one of these
gentlemen will be the minority can
didate after the votes are counted
but if all signs do not fail Mr.. New
berry is the man who will be counted
the winner. He measures up to every
standard of the American people, and
is man for whom no apology nsed
ever be made. He is real red
blooded, fighting American citizen
and soldier.

1t has been on my mind for
some time to thank your organ
ization for the very real help IL
has given to America in the
struggle that is concerned with
every fundamental element of
national life. Your speakers,
going from community to COM
munity, meeting people in the
friendly spirit engendered by
years of intimate and UNDER
standing contact, have been effect
i've messengers for the delivery
and Interpretation of democracy's
meaning and imperative needs.
The work that the Chautauqua
is doing has not lost Importance
because of war, but rather has
gained new opportunities for
service.
Let me express the hope that
you will let no encouragement
weaken your activities, and that
the people will not fail in the
support of patriotic institution
that may be said to be an in
tegral part of the national de-
Tense. Cordially and sincerely
yours.
The above words constitute the sub
stance of letter from President
Woodrow Wilson to Mr.. Flowers,
president of the International Lyceum
and Chautauqua association. The
entire administration from President
down through the cabinet makes a
strong appeal this year for the Chau-
tauqua as a war measure, Chau-
tauqua workers this year have a
messge to put before the
people. There are some
people who believe that there should

The Chautauqua is a potent factor.
The Chautauqua this year offers
every advantage it has in years gone

first hand information of conditions
where our boys are giving up their
ives. 1t is a patriotic duty, it seems

hood, no Hun is any match for the
stalwart quick athletic American who
has perhaps had but a few months
training in some camp. The heart
of every loyal American thrills with
pride, when news of allied victories
are flashed over the country, and
when the story is all told, there will
be halo of glory around every
American soldier that will continue
to grow brighter until the end of
time, and if we mistake not, General
Pershing's glorious army will lead
the way, when the triumphant march
is MADE through the streets of Berlin.
