winning the war fer the allied cause,
that liberty of thought and indie

Our president has repeatedly point
ed out the only true course whereby
the war can be won, and that is
force to the limit and America
must stand as a unit with her vast
resources, her wealth, and her army
and navy to back the allies and our
president.
The nation for the past year has
watched with Jealous eye the acts of
congress and it's members, and those
who have stood unflinchingly by the
government regardless of party ties
should be returned to uninterruptedly
carry out the present program of
winning the war. ever bearing in

West Virginia.

The present state of West Virginia
was originally and for long time part
of the state of Virginia. The presiden.
tial election in 1860 showed that a
majority Of the people of Virginia were.
opposed to seeding from the Union.
but when President Lincoln issued his
call Tor troops state convention pass
ed an ordnance of secession without
waiting for popular vote. Later 1t
was ratified by the people Of the east
ern part of Virginia and repudiated by
those OF the western part. Thus the
secession, or attempted secession Of
virginia from the Union led to the
separation Of West Virginia from old,
virginia and the formation of new
state.
