OF less than one-half pound per weel

Some of our homes by reason ol
limited income cannot now provide
more food than they should have to
maintain health In the family. They
cannot rightfully be asked to make
the suggested reduction in consump

homes can do more than suggested.
We need even greater simplicity OF
living than last year amongst all that
section OF the community 20 whom
foodstuffs are a secondary item IN
expenditure.
We estimate that nearly 10000
people eat at our public eating places
hotels, restaurants, boarding houses,
clubs, dining cars and so forth. The
food consumption in these places is
larger than in the average homes.
We are asking the proprietors and
employees of these institutions To un.

are confident that they will willingly
do this.
This is not rationing-a thing we

field. IL Is not a mere theory, II Is q

Judgment OF the American people, In
the past our citizenship has invari
ably supported the party in power
during the period OF war. They sup
ported Lincoln when he made his
historic appeal Not TO swap horses
while crossing the stream" They
supported Mckinley in the war with
Spain, when Roosevelt declared that
failure to do so would give heart to
our defeated antagonists. They will
support Wilson during this greatest
OF all wars.
Roosevelt said in 1898 that the ma
tions OF Europe would draw no fino
distinctions He said that a refusal
to sustain the President this year
will i'm their eyes be refusal TO
sustain the war.
President Wilson is engaged In
winning the war. His administration
is the instrumentality the Nation
uses in accomplishing its purposes.
Failure to sustain the administration
through refusal 10 give the President
sympathetic Congress OF his own
party would be regarded as an ex.
preston of dissatisfaction with the
President. In the language OF Roose-
welt, Europe would draw no fine dis
tinctions.
In the congressional election of
1898, such Republican leaders "a
Theodore Roosevelt, Benjamin Har.
rison, Henry Cabot Lodge, and Boise
Penrose pleaded for a Republican
Congress that the Presidents policy
might be sustained at home and
abroad. They argued that a defeat
OF the party OF the President would
be interpreted in Europe as a rebuko
for Mckinley, and a population OF his
terms. They contended that the fruits
Of the war would be lost and the

hostilities had actually ceased before
Republican chieftans contended that
political defeat for Mckinley might
even result in opening the war.
Sustain Mckinley they ask, by elect.
ing Senators, Congressman and Gov.
ernors Of his political party. Any
other course would discfedit the
President abroad.
America is again in war, and In
the greatest war OF all times. Our
leader Is Woodrow Wilson, who was
reelected 10 the Presidency in 1915,
when his party returned to control
in both Houses OF Congress. Under
his leadership our part in the war
began, and under his leadership the
war has been carried on. Does the
country approve? Do the people
want Wilson's leadership until the
war Is YQn and peace terms nader
dmittedly II Is their desire. We
lay even apply the Republican ar.
guments of 1898 in this situation. and
inevitably President Wilson should
and must have a Democratic Senate
and House. otherwise Europe would
interpret The Congressional elections
as a popular reputation OF the vii.
son leadership. Europe would regard
Republican victory as the fall of the
Wilson administration, the war gov
ernment.
