In sharp contrast to the charges of
the critics of the President is the
confidence reposed in President Wilson
by the governments of the Allied coun-
tries. If you feel that the help you
have given the Allies in the past should
be continued, your vote of confidence
in Wilson should be given, and at t is
time such vote can only be given by
voting for congressman whs have aided
Wilson in the past or will aid him in
the future. -: ..s.f 2.
President wilson has not concerned
himself solely with ohstructing repub-
licans. but set his party's house in
order by defeating for denomination
Senators Vardamsn, Of Mississippi.
Hsrtwick, Of Georgia. ano numerous
congressman who had interfsred with
the war policies Of the country. He
set the good example and asks that the
voters return legislators who will sus-
tain his war aims and policies-the
ones accepted by the allies in the fight
for worldwide democracy.
. Would the local critics of the Pres
ident have the effrontery to claim that
. man like Congressman Haugen, who
voted wrong on all war measuers, who
voted for q restriction that Americans
should forego their rights to travel on
the seas, opposed increases in the
army, an, increase in the navy and
voted against the declaration of war
against Germany, should be. retained in
congress to harrass the president and

Kaiser Bill what the world thinks Of
him. 1t is to just such instances as
this that the president refers in his let

not exist and not to the partissns
who would sink oil principles for parti-

Auto St1uek BY Passenger Train.
On Monday afternoon, Julius Fravel
and bis wife were driving into town
and were driving north on Elm street
in their auto which was curtainsd and
prevented them from hearing or seeing
the passenger train from the east until
it,was almost upon them. Too late'to
stop the car, Mr.. Fravel attempted to
put on speed and cross the track, turn
ing little to the left to avoid . broad
sid. smash from the engine, but the
engine struck the hind end of the car
and threw it against an electrolier
breaking that, and throwing Mr.. and
Mrs. Fravel from the car, the broken
electrolier part falling on Mrs. Fravel.
Either from the falling post or by strik-
ing upon the cement walk, Mrs. Fravel
was 30 severely injured on the top Of
the head that she was carried uncon-
scious to Dr.. Jinderlee's Office and
later to the hospital where she re-
mained unconscious for nearly forty.
eight hours, but at last reports is fully
conscious and her entire recovery is
confidently expected. .....,.
Mr.. Fravel is very careful driver,
was not running fast, and can in no
way be blamed for the accident. but
the fault lies with the railroad COM
pany in not providing . fiagman. gates
or . gong to give warning of the sp.
proach of train at this crossing,
which is unsafe both on the main
track and the switch tracks nearest
the elevator. 49,.
