This congressional district has one
of the very best congressman in the ma

least to state that it would lie Il world
wide calamity to swap Mr.. Watkins off

ii i'ity ana merit of the new man is,
eor the very life Of Freedom and Lib
erty hangs in the balances and any
thin, that will ever so slightly cripple
President Wilson will endanger our
Chance to win the war. Mr.. Watkins
is just what the President is. and is Il
help and power that the world cannot
81 critice now: besides, nothing can lie

| forms of German propaganda have
their desired effect But we must not
stand for agitation, and any criticism
/ of Congressman Watkins is IN indirect
stab at the Presidents policy. for our
congressman is too husy supporting the
war work at Washington to come home
and devote precious time to defending
the administration and the nation. and
it ought nOt to be necessary for him to

feeling toward every one with cOnlmen-

that, actuated by a sense of patriotic
duty, the friends of Mr.. Watkins take
