would have already been lost)--cannot be undeceived between now and cleo tion day; but to accomplish Mir Hud- dlestons defeat, we must be men. we
 must be serious. we must put up a
 man of courage, a man willing to sac
 rfice, a man willing to spend and be spent, man with red blood in his
 veins, and the love of his fellowman in
 his heart. Such man can and will be
 elected, for we will not only have the cooperation of the men who fought
 MT Huddleston before the primary, but
 many thousands of men who supporte ed
 him in the primary, for as sure as
 you live. my friends, the full import of the Presidents telegram "as not
 felt before the primary The time was
 short. We have two months to cam paign and two months is a long time, and the people will deliberate very seriously as to whether they can cou- tinue to support a man against whom the commander in chief of the army has spoken, and he has spoken on an
 issue which we all consider para- mount to all other issues at this hour

Such men as King, Hilliard, William H. Smith. John T. Morgan, Louis E.
 Parsons, Edmond w. Pettus, Thomas G. Jones, Joseph F. Johnson, B. M. Long, Arthur Bingham, Houston and Lewis. Men who oppose each other on
 the great questions arising out of party and policies in the past, but who always stood shoulder to shoulder when a question of patriotism was :n- volved, will join with the patriots of today in shouting Old Glory is safe" FOURTH DISTRICT CONVENTION The Fourth district congressional con ] vention was held at the Hillman hote. shortly before noon and nominated J.

 My friends, if you cannot trust the commander in chief of the army and
 navy (although you may differ with him in ordinary times politically at such a time as this, when our blood is flowing and our all is being demanded of us. without impugning his motives, then we are in a bad fix to be sure, and God save us from the Kaiser.

They will tell us that the democrats have had a primary and that MT. Hud- | dleston is the choice of that primary. Is he any the less bolsheviki today than l he was yesterday? Is he any the less a bolsheviki after the primary than he was before the primary? Are MT. Will sons words any less true today than | they were before the primary?

 WAS WILSON MISLED?
 MT. Huddleston says that MT Will son was misled. If MT. Wilson has done him an injustice, then he should by this i time have been able to have procured from MT. Wilson statement to that effect He has not procured this state | rnent nor will he be able to do so. Had MT. Huddleston backed up the war party l in Congress, and the commander in chief 1 of the army and navy as he should have done, he would not have had any oppo- ] sition in the primary, and certainly none

Thousands of men in l this district have protested against the return of MT. Huddleston to Congress. not because they had anything against /, him personally, but purely upon his rec
