Am N gnore there and turn my bark
upon the facts and reattach myself % q
machine which has accomplished nothing
and promises ~ accomplish nothing. bc
cause il appears that IL has no oonceptior
of any mission only the holding n of1ce;
and this conception Is confined ~ tbs
mere holding, not the doing of anything
Am /, because some one believes Ia rnagic
70 do violence n my reason and outrage
To my conscience?
Do you come " me 70 rsmoustrste or
70 protest or 70 threaten when ! tell YOU
that as far as my ability goes and ~ far
as my manhood goes, will stand by
President Wilson? Then let rnr tell you
that your protests and your rernonstranoes
and even your threats arr 10 vain. Ny
glory is in being a man and yor would
take this away.
President Wison is the great exernpisr

yinced / would be untrue 10 myself az this
awful moment If | did not say vhat is IN
my mind and in my purpose.
The words Democrat and Republican
are 10 me, mere vocal motions. hey are
only Z SOUND more meaningless than the
noise of me trolley car on the broken
rails or he dust that blows N nv eve or
mouth or nose from the uncleaned streets.
Political parties are significant 70 me
for what hey DO, aud | resent even the
suggestion that anything could make the
do less han stand for the right as II is
understood BY me as interpreted bv Presl-
dent Wilson once that right IS submitted
70 me for a decision.
DAVID Snellenourg.
Mr. SnellenDurg SAID today that =
number OF prominent Republicans, after
reading his letter, had congratulated hin
on the stand he had taken and assured
him that many other Republicans feel
the same way about the matter. This
is no ordinary election, Mr.. Snellenburg
said, IN commenting further on the suo-
ject today. We are neither Repub-
licans nor Democrats, but AmericaRs.
IL Is not partisan political election,
but an American election, and every vot r
should vote the American ticket, anG
there is only one-the one backing our
President, who Is the greatest man in the
world today, and vino needs the undivided
support Of the people OF the United States.
