SHUT UP AND GO TO IT

Root in Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, April ee.-"We in

These WEI the words spoken by
Former Senator Elihu Root in a ring
ing address at a meeting of the Ma
tional Security league. He continued:
I'VE must have two things to win
this war. We must exercise moral
qualities. The party that will win this
war is the one that had the best moral
courage and the greatest capacity for
sacrifice.
1.-The second thing we mus have is
victory in arms, against an enemy in
arms. To make physical force felt we
must have men, money, ships, air.
planes and guns. Washington is get
ting these things
There must be no divided people,
and turnout the land there must be a
deep sense of duty and feeling for this
great sacrifice of war. Our work in
maintaining this feeling is not yet
complete. I hate to go to Washington
because so many people weep on my
breast and bewail that nothing is being
done. It is true that some things have
not been done. But many great things
have been done. and are being done"

Until it is definetly decided what

named by its leaders in conference
here during the week will take no

of Frank Martin, A. C. Hindman, both

that the situation is one of the most
serious in the party's history. State
Chairman w. r. Hamilton has en-
ployed counsel to determine the party's
rights under the law and until his
findings have been made known no
definite move will be made. In the
opinion of this counsel the law may
bar the Nonpartisan league candidates
from participating in the primary cleo

Democrats present endorsed the
stand taken by Frank Martin, one of
their prominent leaders, that: THE
situation which confronts the party is
the gravest in its history. To meet

and hold our organization together.

clares in its official organ that it pro-
poses to ride into the statehouse on
