proclhims the necessity for unity of
purpose and action of all our people
in the vigorous conduct of the war to
a victorious conclusion. We believe
that the same unity of action and sem

the direction Of their valiant com
cauder should be emulated at home
where a united front under the leader
ship of our commander in chlct,
Woodrow Wilson, is just as essential
to a successful and victorious conduct
and termination of the war. Discord
in the government At home at this
time is as dangerous as discord would
be in the army at the front.

greatest American of his generation,
but the recognized foremost states
man of the world, to whom the people
of all civilized nations look as their
champion of Justice and democracy
