TO the voters Of Hood River and Wasco

My name viii appear on the official
ballot November 5th, as an independ

the Sixteenth Senatorial District
The great things that are gripping
us at this time make the differences
which hitherto have separated the vot
ers into political parties seem trivial
and inconsequential For all such old
conditions there is no place now and by
this time should have passed entirely
out of our consideration. How small
they seem when the nation is battling
for the principles on which it was es-
tablished. Only this great present bus
mess really counts with US now.
There is a tremendous obligation
resting upon us to put our whole
weight into the scale in behalf Of the
government and the civilization to
which we are indebted for all we have
and all we are The immediate task of
winning the war is SO great and alb
sorbing that il is entitled to our whole
attention, leaving other matters to re-
ceiVe later consideration
Civilization is being battered out Of
recognition wherever the German arm

conflict Of mankind must be fought to
a righteous conclusion at all costs
The conquest Of Prussianism is a grim
business that must be put through to
the end, however long and bitter the
way, and for this purpose the uDc0n-

'FOr Gods Sake Men and Women
Make This War a Personal
Affair"

Suppose that the German army
was marching into Mississippi,
and in our fright we appealed
frantically to our President in
Washington to send US aid.
Suppose we watched and wait
ed the enemy coming closer and
closer to our homes every day
we repeated our appeals for help,
help HELP!
Suppose it was six months be-
fore that help arrivid? What
would have become of us-you
and your loved ones, me and
mine? It's all too horrible to
think of, isn't it? Surely our
President would not keep us
waiting six months. He would
answer our call IMMEDIATELY!
Do you know that the Presi-
dent called on us SIX MONTHS
AGO, for help -and we have
NOT answered him yet. Do
you know that President Wilson
asked Mississippi to purchase
forty million dollars worth of
WAR SAVINGS STAMPS and
with nearly half year gone by,

small amount we have bought!
