read the above figures if he had he had refused to let
them sink in Suppose the President had had just few
of his party followers in Congress where would we
have been? No doubt watchfuly waiting for cnance
to elect enough Republicans to approve the Presidents
declaration Of and selective draft measures The
figures indicate it, and figures don't lie Read them again.
Again George had forgotten, or did not want to re-
member, that when Lincoln made the above declaration
Republican majority was supporting him, while DEM
ocratic minority doing all it could to hamper him.
He had perhaps forgotten that distinguished Democratic
platform of 1862 which said "We opposed to war
FOR the emancipation of the negroes and the subugaon
of the southern states He had no doubt forgotten that
same platform which denounced the tyranncal acts of
the Lincoln administration and the criminal violations
Of civil liberty and the rights and privileges secured to
the citizen and the alien under the American constitu-
ton" Of George paid fine tribute to the Re-
pubcans for their support of the war; which is to his
credit but he cannot give them fusome praise from the
lip and then plead that they be stricken at the polls II
they have stood steadfast in educating democracy for
war; they will stand steadfast in seeing it through and
in bringing it to successful close.
But some more figures: Five Republican Congress
have resigned to volunteer in the army. One has
aade the supreme sacrifice Five Democratic Congress
have resigned to take lucrative official posi-
tons and to better their financial conditions in private
life We gave the in recent issue of this paper
Again some more figures: The Democratic county
platform says of Utahs Congressman has
N the service than any other member OF Congress This
Congressman is Hon. James H. Mays of Salt Lake City.
We d0 not know whether not his numbered
among the $4,000 swivel chair brigade "in safe places
not, but we 20 know that Republican ex- President
preme sacrifice and the only the father did not
go with them because the Democratic administra-
ton refused to let him None of these in the swi
vel brigade either.
The Democratic County platform commends the
bravery of Congressman Yelling and Mays in going to
the battle front, their recent European junket Well
they may be brave men TO take such trip well fed
Aroomed conveyed and cared for at the peoples expense
and their appearance within forty miles of the firing line
may have terrified the Huns but somehow of the
opinion that those Browning machine guns that Hon.
William Fl. Watts has been sending to Europe and the
bravery and courage Of former Governor William Spry in
giving the murderer Hstrom his just deserts has put
terror into the Huns abroad and at home than any
thing these two brave Congressman have done their
pleasure trip aboad.
Fellow citizens, and fellow Republicans, this is a
time when Republicans should walk the streets with
heads erect and brows undaunted angels walk the
clouds" They have nothing to apologize for They have
given Democratic administration full measure of sup
port during the trying scenes Of war; something the
Democratic party never did in its history They were
the war party in 1916 they the less the war
party now. The figures are the "acid test"
