I can better understand how the unin- telligent voter can be nisled by an ap- peal to his selfish interests, with the bait that his taxes should be lowered and the cost of the running of the gov ernment war measures should be levied who are used to weighing candidates and measures are so easily hoodwinked
 as to stand by an office seeker whose
 Americanism has been questioned because
 of his public utterances in the halls Of
