feel safer, in view of the elements
that have united in the opposition to

such a man will be in the field in

The Herald has taken its stand in
support OF Governor Burnquist, and
not only will it support him for.

When this Democratic conference

CeyIon Herald: We were asked the
other day how we stood with regard
to the Nonpartisan league. We stand
toward them just as we do toward the |
i. w. w. or any other person, sect or |
party whose loyalty to our govern
ment is questioned. We are against
them until they can show clear, |
whoie-hearted support for our Presi- |
dent and our country and until they
can do this we are against them from
every turn in the road. We think
that some of their leading organizers
should be sent to prison during the |
war and that few of them should be |
shot as an example to the balance |
that 1T does not pay to antagonize 1
Uncle Sam. Until such strict orders /
are adopted we may expect disloyal- /
ty. If anyone thinks that The Herald /

sadly mistaken whether they be /
Nonpartisan league supporter, an /. |
W. w. supporter or an out-and-out /
kaiser supporter.
