If HE HAD HIS WAY.


Suppose that the government ha'
followed his advice and wishes OF
the more important war measure
that came before congress, wher
would the nation be today? Wher
would the world be?
1t the selective draft act had no
been passed, could more than a mil
lion soldiers have been successful!
transported to France in a years
time? And isn't it true that just az
the British saved civilization at The
beginning of the war by stopping
the German rush and just as the
French again saved the world from
German rule by turning back the
Teuton advance at the Marine and
again at Verdun, SO did the Ameri-
can army, in the present great bat
tie. furnish the men and force neces-
sary to defeat the most stupendous
of the Kaiser's offensives? If Hard
wick had had his way, there would
have been no American army to stem
the tide
If Hardwick had had his way
there would be no food control, and
the poor people of the nation would
today be in terrible distress for the
commodities of life The profiteers
would have gloried and gloated over
the situation. Prices would be stag
geringly high. and, worse still, our
Allies would have had their morale
and efficiency broken down because
of food shortage. The food admin
istration alone has enabled the Unit
ed States to send sufficient food sup
plies to the people as we'll as to the
brave soldiers of England and
France and Italy.
If Hardwick had had his way, the
war finance bill would not have pass
ed, the federal bank reserve bill
would have been defeated, and other
measures just as essential for the
successful proecution of the war
would have been throttled
Hardwick did have his way, for a
l,me, in the matter of the ship pur-
chase bill, with the result that when
this country entered the war it did
uet lave adequate tonnage for trans
porting the troops and a deley of
many NOR tbs ensued
Ii Senator Hardwick's advice had
been sdCrted by the government,
Germany today would be victorious,
and :, Is more than possible tha- the
iron heel If the invader would have
neeE p'trted On our own soil. Amer
lean homes would have been destroy
ed, American girls and mothers out
aged, American children slain,
American property laid to a barren
waste. One only has to picture this
, to gain an idea of what Senator
Hardwick's obstructive tactics mean
to the country.
1t is possible, then, for any red
blooded American, for any man who
values patriotism above loyalty, to
think of voting for this man whose
policy has been one of open disloyal-
ty. The course he has pursued, by
the significance, it is the same course
the Kaiser's own agents in Congress
would have adopted. 1t is the iden-
teal policy the Kaiser himself would
have dictated could he have controu-
ed our legislation and war prepare
lions. 1t is for this reason that Sen
alor Hardwick deserves to be, and
will be, crushingly defeated for re-
election.

All want to try new drug that
dries up corns so they
lift out.

Good news spreads rapidly and
druggists here are kept busy dispens-
ing freezone, the ether discovery of a
Cincinnati man, which is said to
loosen any corn SO it lifts out with
the fingers.
Ask at any pharmacy for quarter
ounce of freezone, which will cost
very. little, but is said to be sufficient
to rid ones feet of every hard or soft
corn or callus.
You apply just a few drops on the
tender, aching corn and instantly the
soreness is relieved, and soon the corn
is so shriveled that it lifts out with
out pain. 1t is q sticky substance
which dries when applied and never
lnf1ames or even irritates the adjoin-
ing tissue.
