SUPPORT WILSON

Under the leadership of Woodrow Wilson the United States
went to war with Germany in April, 1917.
The world does not record an achievement equal to what
this government has done in a year and seven months.
Germany was i'll the height of her glory and at the apex Of
her strength. Today Germany is grovclng in the dirt. Ger
many is whipped, and the United States administered a part of
it, and made it possible for the remainder to be administered.
We trusted Woodrow Wilson to lead this government in
the war, and he led us to victory without a hitch in the pro-
cession. He has asked the American people to elect a Demo
cratic congress to sustain him in completing the program.
We take it that the voters who are satisfied with the manner
in which the war has been conducted; who are satisfied with the
way it is about to end, and feel that Woodrow Wilson can be
depended upon to finish the job, will observe his request.
Senator Shields is entitled to every patriotic vote in Ten
nessee; Stanley is entitled to every patriotic vote in Kentucky,
and Joe Folk is entitled to every patriotic vote in Missouri.
A vote for these candidates for the senate is a vote to sustain
the president, and a vote to sustain the president is a vote to
sustain the war.
The voters of Tennessee should not overlook the very great
necessity Of clecting Judge Roberts governor. Tennessee has
needed such a man for many years. That the state hasn't had
one is its misfortune. That it has an opportunity to elect such
a man now is its privilege.
Senator Shields is one OF the ablcst men in the senate. He
is recognized as one of the few great lawyers of that body. He
is a member OF the senate committee on foreign relations, a most
important committee for the next few years. The rank other
senators attained after years Of service Senator Shields has
reached by sheer force Of ability, and the recognition of that
ability by his colleagues. Senator Shields is a credit to the
State, and every citizen who has a pride in Tennessee should
vote for him.
Harvey Hannah, candidate for railroad commissioner. has
Hilary" that it is scarcely necessary to call attention to him.
But he is the Democratic nominee, a loyal and enthusiastic
Democrat, and should not be overlooked.
Hubert Fisher, candidate for congress from the Tenth dis
trict, and the legislative candidates from Shelby county are
without opposition, but every one is entitled to loyal support.

having 1t pointed out that you are too
old to wear that shape, and the color
doesn't sutt your complexion; never BIO
able to so anywhere without giving

They are wise who refuse to have
their happiness ruined by never-endine

the Gordon knot by packing their
trunks and going to live among stran-
gers, Nor does this procedure break
family ties. 1t strengthens them, for It
we are not in sympathy when we are
far from them than It Is when we are

their beneficent purpose materially I'M

This Is unfortunate, .
1t is unfortunate for the soldiers
abroad and at nome, who are the I'M
mediate beneficiaries Of the campaign;
and it Is equally unfortunate for the
cause for which these soldiers are
fighting or preparing. to fight.
And it Is attributable only to short.

out previously formulated intentions. ID

and what's the use Of donating my

In the first place, the war is not over:
far from 1t, the chances are! And 1t Is
possible that a year from today will find
peace apparently no nearer tina II Is
now. THAT is possible, though hardly
probable; but the surest n quickest
way to make 1t an inposslbility will be
to put every ounce of pressure we posi-
bly, can muster behind the blows we are
dealing the enemy now while he is semi
| demoralized after a series of reverses.
In the second place, even should the
war end tomorrow. let 1t be borne In
mind that 1t will take many snonths to
bring the boys back from France and
to complete the herculean work of de.
mobilising our forces.
And so long as there is a platoon OF
American soldiers left in France or In
Germany--or so long as there is a can
