For a good while after this war
broke out between the United
States and Germany, our people
were humane and treated the
Germans, in this country, we'll;
but many of them were unde-
serving of kind treatment, and
were guilty of all kinds of mis-
deeds, such as wrecking trains,
putting ground glass in the food
supply, blowing up factories, ETC.,
until forbearance ceased to be a
virture, and it is now the rule,
rather than the exception, that
when a German sympathizer be-
comes too conpicuous, to take
him out to one side, and give
him a strapping, add a coat OF
tar and feathers to his measely
hide, and order him to seek 9th
er fields.

Germans who are arrayed a.
gainst them. If either Senator
Robinson, Sam Taylor or Will
Goodwin had been treacherous
to the sacred name of home,
friends and country, since they
had been in Congress, then there
would be a reason and excuse
for dlsplacing them, but they
have not. They have stood at
their posts, brave and true men
as they are, in the thickest of
the fray. In our Governments
most trying and critical mo-
ments, whenever our great Presi-
dent Woodrow Wilson, called on
them, they were ready to re-
spond and lend a helping hand.
1t is these men that we need
in Congress now. We know who
they are and what they stand
for. They are no experiments.
They have been tried and found
true, faithful and loyal to their
country. The ambition of no
man Who wants place in the
Senate or a seat in the House. to
crafty a personal whim, should,
for a single moment, influence
the voters in their decision. Let
no petty prejudices or personal
plque, if you should have any,
effect you in doing your full duty
to your country now. When you
vote for Joe T. Robinson, Hon. S.
M. Taylor and Hon. William S.
Goodwin you know that you are
making no mistake, but if you
vote against them for new and
untried men, you are at sea, lost
in fog and taking desperate
chances.

In the present great crisis, the
the most trying and disturbing
that ever befell this country, it is
most important that our tried
and true men be kept in Con-
greSs to render assistance to
President Wilson in carrying out,
successfully, all measures to win
the war. With such men in Con-
gress as Senator Joe T. Robin
son, Hon. Sam. NJ. Taylor and
Hon. William S. Goodwin, the
people feel and know that their
country's interests are entirely
safe, and that they can be de-
pended on at all times and under
all circumstances, to do the right
things at the right time. They
are thoroughly familiar with the
situation and know the great
perils which are now imminent
and are, therefore in a position
to act, and act promptly, when
ever the emergency arises. To
replace these men, or either of
them, now, with new and untried
men would be the most danger
Gus and suicidal policy evel ingu-
rated. To do So would encourage
the enemy and be worth more to
the Kaizer and his barbaric Huns
than ten thousand we'll drilled
and perfectly equipped soldiers.
Robinson and Taylor and
Goodwin have all been the true
and tried friends of the Admins
tration during this war, and for
the people, at home, to turn
them down and elect new men
would be a sad blow to the
Federal Government, and a stab,
in the back to President Wilson.
1t would be saying to the pro-
Germans, in this country, that
the people, at home. did not ap-
prove of the administrations
course; and that while our brave
soldier boys are giving their lives
and shedding their precious
blood on the battle fields in
France, that the home-folks were
giving their moral support to the
