I said:
j More than $50 members and friends
OF the Young Mems Democratic clut

he acquitted himself splendidly. His

Before the meal the men gathered
in the hotel lobby and IN the parlors
where they met the guest OF honor at
an informal reception. The dining

pressed his sorrow that Mr.. Wilson
was unable to be present, but paid a
fine tribute to the absent cabinet
member, than whom he said the lab
oring man has never had an ADLER
champion. Mr.. Kincheloe declared
the entire South is Solidly back OF the
government to-day with money
brains and blood.
WORD PICTURE OF WAR.
The speaker painted tremendous
word picture of the war and OF what
might have confronted America had
not the United States entered into II
on the side OF the allies. He spoke
strongly on the subject of peace, say
ing If he had his way he would never
consent to any peace until every Bel
gian mother and child was peusioned
and full reparation made for every
Outlining the fiendish and treach-
erous policy pursued by Germany in
her submarine policy, double dealing
as to Mexico and every other nation
in which intrigue could flourish. Mr..
Kincheloe read parts Of the revealed
letters to German agents In this coun-
try and said that President Wilson,
after submitting to everything that g.
peace loving and decent nation could
do, called for a declaration OF war.
Were going to have an army"
said the speaker. 1--WE were not pre-
pared when the war started, but new
er in the history OF the civilized world
has such progress been made. Thank
God, no boy can buy his way out OF
the war nor hire a substitute. This
war will mean a sacrifice Of men and
money. We all will sacrifice and unless
some unforeseen thing happens, with
in twelve months we will stand by the
biers of our honored dead"
Congressman Kincheloe poured
bitter invective on the slackers, who,
on one pretext or another. dodge their
duty and who, he added, must apollo
pize all their life for their acts.
