all the others have declared them
selves ready for the work. Red river
valley counties, particularly hard hit,
have come to the front in fine style,
and he declared that the state
is ablaze today with a spirit or
loyalty and patriotism, that means
success for the Liberty loan.
Judge Wade introduced.
When Judge Wade was introduced,
he was received with generous ap-
plause, as Chairman Hughes recalled
the famous address made by Judge
Wade in the O'Hare sedition case.
Judge Wade opened by dealing
with the tremendous battle now I'M
der way in France, where he said
the thoughts OF every man should be
turned at all times,
Can you get out Of your mind the
awful picture; the awful roar OF the
cannon, the mangled forms Of hui
man beings, over there2 Can you
get out Of your mind the fact that
North Dakota boys, your boys, may
be in the midst of that awful bat
tie tonight?" he asked.
The speaker then discussed briefly
president wilson's address outlin-
ing the terms on which America
would make peace, and which had
been received by the. whole civilized
world, and even in Germany only one
or two points Of which were objected
to.
4And Germany's answer to that
statement is the drive, he said.
Picturing the scene in Paris,
where people were bowed down in a
church in memory of that tragedy
upon Calvary 1918 years ago, when
suddenly the church was hit by a
German shell fired from a long range
gun, killing women and children, he
said he had himself come to the con-
Clusion that the Kaiser was the
personification of the devil, with all
of his powers Of darkness.
Between Right and Wrong.
Answering the question, What is
it all about" Judge Wade declared
1T was the old struggle between right
and wrong
The man who harbors the secret
hope that the Kaiser will win, has

and should be driven off, said Judge
Wade. The men in Europe are to-
day fighting for their homes, their
wives, their children, both here and
abroad.
The speaker dealt at length with |
those who fail to see the justice of
Americas cause, and reciting in |
,ident after incident to show the
rue workings Of the German war
he said there was no way /
put to fight-but to win the war.
Eff we are right, there is no pow
n on earth to turn us from our pur-
oose," he said.
The fighting in Europe was CON-
pared by the speaker to the prairie
Tres of the early days in the west,
when the homesteaders built their
back fires. Out there on the firing
inc he maintained that the men
we're building back fires, to stay the
lanes that are sweeping the world.
He dealt with Germany's effort at
Lrraying Mexico and Japan against
he United States, and then came to
he question Of breaking down
american spirit.
Three things, men, money and
pirlt, are needed, and if the spirit
5 right, Wen have the men and the
Money" said Judge Wade. And so
oday German agents, and enemies
( the United States, are seeking TO
ill Americas spirit, whispering
candaI. spreading discomfort, talk
" OF supposed injustices, talking OF
MS as a rich mans war, etc.
Wisconsin's ballot record in which
7 900 men voted for Berger, under
allotment for the most damnable
rhine of all, was pointed to by the
peaker as a dangerous condition.
In connection with sedition cases.
lot of men, under indictment or
caring arrest, begin to "holler'' for ,
