We commend and endorse the Republican slogan,
den and ~ evey oc high or low by the
thoroughness with which that public official stands by
the war; which to stand by the government, by
means to stand for WAR SAVING and WAR GIvING|

soldiers and heroes in France who through their sevce
and sacrifice fast making victory and peace possible
We declare that there never has been a time sincel
the administration of the immortal Lincoln when that for
which the Republican Party has stood has been vnd
