Can't Understand Baird.

In answer to a statement sent out by
Senator Baird of New Jersey in relation
to his vote against the Federal suffrage
amendment in the Senate Mrs. Z. +.
F'eiCkert, president of the New Jersey
Woman Suffrage Association, said at
Plainfield yesterday:
Senator Baird takes n strange posi-
ton when he defends his vote by saying
that he voted with twcnty-three Demo
cratic Senators. Abraham Lincoln was
an advocate of woman suffrage sixty
years ago, and his party has stood
strongly for IL in both state and nation.
The leaders OF the Republican party in
New Jersey - Gov. Edge and Senator
Frelinshuysen--are not afraid to stand
by the suffrage plank.

PROVIDENCE, r. l.. Oct. 29.--Secretary
OF the Navy Daniels in an address here
tonight urging the return OF a Demo-
cratic Congress in the elections mex;
Tuesday. said Republican politicians in
their desire to get control of the Senate
and House have forgotten their duty as
Americans. They have raised false
cries, he asserted, in .he hope OF getting
the people TO forget the one dominating
issue.
Never during the prosecution of war
said Mr.. Daniels, have the people denied
to their President the cooperative aid OF
a Congress In harmony with the policy to
which the Republic is solemnly com.
mitted and never until this year was
the pecksniffian cry raised by any
party: You must elect Republican
Cong ress to uphold the hands Of a Demo.

They are thinking about after the
war and they are straining every nerve
to elect a Congress that will repeal or
destroy the wholesome legislation which
has marked Wilson'S Administration.
at Is not the plain voter OF any party,
his heart afiame with patriotic zeal who
has for weeks been playing politics with
the gravest consequences that ever con-
f:onted mankind. II Is the Republican
politician who has busted himself with
raising false issues In order TO try to
get control OF Congress.
HE Is not pro-German. He simply
has forgotten his duty as an American
and dropped down to his lower plane as
n partisan. Forgetting the weightiest
matters. he beats the party tomtoms and
raises ancient political catch phrases
in the hope that the people can be made
TO forget the one dominating ISSUE

BIames G. O. p. Politicians.

During the months that the President
and leaders OF his party have been busy
with policies to win the war" continued
the Secretary. Republican politicians
and reactionary would be profiteers have
been thinking of nothing but capturing
Congress. Such would be profiteers have
called upon their fellow reactionaries
to put up more money to carry Con-
sress this year than we spent in 1916
Why? They try TO camoufage the
people by saying they do not like tho
brand of notes coming from Wilson's
typewriter. No moro does the Kaiser
or the Junkers. But Great Britain,
France, Italy and all democratic nations
in Europe indorse them and make them
their own.
Let the people know the secret of the
big money the reactionsts are putting
up to elect n Republican Congress.
These men from plunderbund are not
thinking about patriotism but paytriot-
ism. They are not thinking about OBJ
tanning permanent peace or even about
war.

w. S. S. ENSURES PEACE

Until II a. m. on Nov II, Amer
lea was fighting and raising money
to continue fighting. All that ended
with the armistice. We are planning
now for peace and must continue to
raise more money to insure peace. We
don't want to lose what we have fought
for and won. 1t will take more money
to insure the fruits Of victory. That
is why Missourians are being asked
to redeem their w. S. S. pledges, 10
tuy more stamps and to urge those
who have not bought to buy now, be-
fore Dec. 81.
The fighting men must be brought
home, the ships mhst be finished. The
Army of Occupation, under Gen. Per
shing, must stand guard over Germany
to make sure that Militarism does not
rise again, that the Kaiser does not
come back and that peace may be
made permanent. If we want peace
we must insure it. To insure 1t takes
money Tho War Savings Stamp will
give America the money.

Redemption Week for Stamp Buyers
Will 30 Proclaimed by Gov.
Gardner In a Few Days.

In every school district in Missouri
the roll will be called during the week
of Dec. 7 to Dec. IA. And when this
roll 10 called summoning every citl-
gen in every school district, Missouri
will check up on her citizens who
have pledged their word that they
would buy War Savings Stamps. Ev-
cry citizen who has bought the amount
pledged will be given Badge Of Hon
or reading: II have Redeemed my W..
8. g. Pledge" These badges will
mean something. They will not be
handed out carelessly. Worn in tne
hat band or pinned on the coat, they
will mean that the wearer has made
good his pledge, that he has bought
every cent in war stamps that he said
he would buy.
At the direction Of the U. s. Treas
ury Department, a seven-day War Saw
ings Stamp Pledge Redemption Period
has been fixed for the second week in
December in Missouri. It will begin
Saturday, Dec. Z, and end on Sat

Gardner will issue proclamation call
ing this to the attention of all patrl-
otto Missourians. Missouri Is behind
on her w. s. S. quota. The state
has not redeemed her pledges made
last spring and summer as to the

Missouri has met every test so far
| imposed by the war, and there is nc
reason to believe that Missourlans will
fail to redeem their stamp pledges be-
fore New Years.
All who have pledged themselves tC

| to do so at once. On Dec. 7, in all
parts of the State, an active house

millions of dollars 1t will take to keep
American soldiers in Europe long
enough to see TO it that We are not
cheated out of the victory we have
won. Also, consider that il will take
many months to get the soldiers who
are now in camps in this country and
abroad back into civil life and into
citizens clothes, back at their old jobs
in the mills, the factories and at the
pillow.
You have seen that phrase, "The
war Is not won until the last soldier
is back home" haven't you? These
men who fought for you. who have
and offered their lives for you, must
be fed and sheltered until they are
discharged from the army. And they

They can't all be home for Christmas.
