1t stands. / hate all the trickery and
treachery and deviltry which the dia-
bolical mind Of the Hun has conceiv-
ed and executed since the war begun.
4 hate the arrogant, domineering, in
tolerant spirit of German Kultur, /
hate the principle that might is right,
and that the weak nations should per-
ish at the hands of the strong, and I
hate any thought. word or act that in
the least upholds approves or makes
excuses for these things or that casts
any slurs on our own great and glo-
Iious country or gives in the slight

enemies; in short, l hate anything
and everything that looks tastes,
smells, acts or makes a noise like pro-
Eermanism. These things / shall
sfeadfastly hate and teach my chill
dren to hate so long as life shall last,
regardless of where / am or how near

Hon. Ollie James. loyal and patriotic
Democratic Senator from Kentucky,
In the United States Senate on Feb

readers are referred.
Pat Harrison stands for the very
SCENTS in regard to Germany and the
issues of this war. He got the money
to pay his way through college by
waiting on the dining table at a
boarding house. He has shown him
self to be a leader in Congress and
can be relied on for party regularity.
There can be no risk in electing him.
I forgot to say that many copies
