65to 80 per cent since the war regula.

He thought that the abolition of

both of their working efficiency and Of
the happiness of their wives and fami-

Altogether, we have much reason
for satisfaction. Under conditions which

me to join you in public pledge that

necessary for two reasons:
"First-As you doubtless knew at
the time you addressed your letter to
me, the Republican party had already
announced its intention to suspend
campaign activities during the Liberty
Loan drive.

resent as a candidate has record Of
loyalty which requires no pledge to re-

to stand upon my past activities in all
matters toward winning the war, as my
