OF Sloan Tor Senate
Race.

stFksslOpplHg over III clHdid OuHudy,
Philip F. Bross, who has been active
: in Congressman Sloan's candidacy
safor United States senate. declared
satisfaction with the senatorial situa-
ton, and insisted all indications, by
which election forecasts are geerally
made, point to Mr.. Sloan's noniina-
.ti6n
sseo.Nebraska republicans generally are
anxious to nominate for the senate n
republican who stands right on the
big questions before the nation today,
and who, they feel, can be elected in
November" said Mr.. Bross.
"Mf. Sloan's record of having sup
ported and voted for all the needful
legislation to make. our arms success
ful, the army bill, the revenue bill,
The espionage bill, the trading-with-,
the-enemy act, and all other war
( mes sures, gives the voters gilt
edged guarantee that he will con-
tinue to support all war measures
required to win the war and to end
it speedily and effectively. This rec
ord Of having been through the fire
and having voted and supported all
win -the-war legislation asked OF con-
gress by the president, is record
no 6ther candidate for the senatorial
-snomination can urge.
Record is Coed.
'The democratic press and some
others have tried to make II appear
that Congressman Sloan's war record
]. has not been satisfactory, but bis
record stands as he has made it in
congress, OF having supported every
measure asked of congresssto help
win the war.
"With two sons in the service, one
overseas, Mr.. Sloan's candidacy is es-
pecially favored by those who insist
that tile boys ovsr there be given
WHOLE hearted and united support
atshome. Mr.. Sloan will have spe-
cial solicitude for the boys in the SER
vice and will be 'their champion on
all occasions, not only while they are
fighting their country's battles, but
also wheR they return after the war
has been won. II chosen senator. Mr..
Sloan will be found leading every
fight for the support OF the army, and
the navy, just as he was found last
session in the house leading the fight
on the republican side for the war
revenue bill.
Not Time to Talk Peace.
hCongrcssman Sloan believes that
this is not time to talk peace terms,
but is time to fight, to work, think
and sacrifice to win the war. and that
when German militarism is over
thrown and Germany admits uncon-
! ditional defeat, the peace terms shall
be. American-made and granted with
the approval Of the allies and the
sanction OF all mankind.
"Mr. Sloan always has exercised
his commanding ability in the advo-
cacy of republican principles, policies
and candidates. His standing in the
republican party of the nation Is well
shown by the fact that he is the only |
republican Congressman from Nebras-
ka in its 81 years of history to attain
membership on the ways and means
comMittee. This and his, legislative
experience would give him position
OF leadership on committees and on |
the floor Of the senate, that would be |
impossible for any man without ma
tionai Legislative experience TO attain.
"Mr. Sloan has never repudiated the |
party which has honored him with
nominations and elections, nor does
he believe that republican principles
and issues should be submerged and
that republicans should only be re-
puhlicans after the war. He feels
there is as large field of duty and
service for the republican party today
as at any time jn the history of the
party.
"The republicans of the Fourth
district will be solidly behind Mr..
Sloan in his candidacy. He has been
their congressman eight years and
they have reelected him each time
with increased majorities until las.
ELECTION he ran almost 10000 ahead
Of his ticket. The newspapers of the
state speak OF him as result-getter
in congress. No man in congress
makes more determined fight for
Nebraska and Nebraska's interests
than Congressman Sloan. II Omaha
is interested in securing its just share
OF recognition from the national ad-
miiiistration in congress, the voters
here may be sure Mr.. Sloan as sena-
Tor would be always fighting for Me-
braska's interests and the interests
OF Nebraska's metropolis"
