A LOYAL CONGRESSMAN.

President Wilson seems to have
rather definitely settled a much moot
ed question by his opposition to the
candidacy for reelection of Congress-
man SIayden of Texas, which resulted
in that gentleman Withdrawing from
the race, Mr. Slayden voted for both
ja1 C0n&oription Bill and the DecIara-
t;"n Of War, but had consistent anti
preparedness record and voted against
the Kahn Amendment substituting the
selective draft for the volunteer sys-
TEN in the ConscriptiOn Bill.
There has been much discussion as
to whether Il COngreSSman'S loyalty or
war record should be judged accord
ing to the way he voted on the Dec
laration of War and has voted since.
or whether his opposition to ante-war
measures looking to the military eff
cheney OF the country should be count
ed against him. President Wilson ap-
pears to have answered the question.
In line with this viewpoint as to the
war fitness of Il Congressman the Ma
tiOnal Security Leagues Congressional
Campaign Committee has just issued q
chart giving the record of the votes
of all the members of the House OF
Representative in the SiNty-fourth
and Sixty-ffth Congresses on the eight
principal preparedness and war meas
ures, from the BIcLemore Resolution
TO the Kahn Amendment The Securi-
ty Leagues committee anaIyzes the
chart by individuals and by states. L
