pie of this country have learned
to give First, we learned to
give outright for the wronged
and ruined people of Belgium,
then came many other calls as
the devastation of war spread
East and West. We learned to
give all we could spare, and to
do without what had seemed
necessities, and have done this
uncomplainingly. We have given
and lent and saved and cooper
ated. Parents having given life
to their sons, learned to give
them up--the hardest lesson of
all. All this we have done for
our country, and it is not too
much. When liberty is at stake
all we have is not too much.
During all these days and
nights of horror and world agony,
we have thought a good deal
more of the Ship of State than
we have of the Captain who
must steer that ship through ali
the perils that beset it's course.
That is as it should be and as he
would have it; but now, when
those perils are at least as great
as they have ever been, with
fresh complications arising every
day, we should stop and think OF
that wearied and burdened man
who bears the brunt of the bat.
tie for US.
At the coming election there
is one last, least thing for US to
give we should give the Presi-
dent of the United States a vote
of confidence. We should dem
onstrate to the world that there
is no group of malcontents seek
ing to change the course of this
government. In a tug-of-war no.
body takes his hands off the
rope--there is no time to change
hands. We should elect senators
and congressman who will sus-
tain the President. We haven't
had a chance to do anything for
him before. The least we can
do now is to give him a ballot
vote for those who are in hearty
accord with him and who will
help him in the trying times that
are yet ahead of us.
The people of Graham county
should not neglect their oppor-
tunity of standing by the Presi-
dent and give him vote of con-
fidence next Tuesday, November
9Th, by voting for Carl Hayden,
democratic candidate for Con-
gress.
What President Nc X inley
asked you to do for him in 1898,
when our county was at war with
Spain, President Wilson asks you
to do now, when our country and
"Our Boys" are fighting for the
l;bertv of the world.
