Will Folk and the Republic
Support Whitley Il Nominated?
Senator'S Campaign Managers Ask
Question and Await a Reply
From St. Louis Republic, July list, 1879

The following communication was
sent to The Republic yesterday from
the Whitley headquarters in the Plant.
ers' Hotel:
"The st. Louis Republic has pro
pounded two questions for reply by me
on behalf of the Whitley City Cam
paign Committee.
"They are;
do | approve of Senator Whitley
signing on March s, 1917, the telegram
asking the President to keep us out OF
war II II were possible to do so with
out the sacrifice of national honor?
and Would ] have signed the tele-
gram If | had been in Senator VIII
fley's placer
II am glad to answer any questions
pertaining to this campaign, asked in
good faith by the press, although am
not a candidate for the Senate.
my reply to the first question is:
Senator Wilfley's statement Of his
reason for signing the telegram Is
manly, straightforward, unevasive, in
accordance with his high character
and unimpeachable patriotism, and is
entirely satisfactory to me and should
be to every fair-minded American. 1t
Is In accordance with the attitude OF
the President at the time 1t was
signed, and in accordance with the
view Of a large majority Of our citi-
zenshlp,
my reply to the second question Is:
81 find 1t impossible to put myself
in the frame of mind that l was In be-
fore the declaration of war, and can
not say whether ! would have signed
the telegram or not. The declaration
of war caused an acute change In the
minds of American people. This
change affected The Republic and 9TH
er papers, as well as individuals, as a
scanning of The Republics editorial
columns before and after the declare
tion Of war will evidence. Like all
other Americans, | am now intent on
but one thing, a complete and over
whelming defeat OF the Huns and all
that they stand for.
AN editorial was published in The
Republic on March /, 1917. exactly one
week before the telegram was sent
bearing on the war situation. The
headline OF this editorial suggests the
question whether war could be avoid
ed, for the line reads The Overt Act
And Them The closing paragraph Of
this, editorial reads as follows:
WAR has not yet been declared

FULTON-MEXICO ROAD PLANS

Work in preparation for the gray
cling of the road between here and
Fulton will start at once. W. B. eau
thorne, of Columbia, a state engineer
filed his plans with the Audrain coun-
ty Court Monday The highway will
be graded, new bridges placed at many
places, and several sharp, dangerous
curves Strengthened.
The crawling will be financed
half by the State and half by the
county but it is doubtful if the work
will be completed this summer be-
cause of the scarcity of material and
labor, and the necessary shipping
accommodations. The county court
recently purchased a tractor and grad
er which will be used in preparing the
surface for its coating of gravel.
