To the Voters Of the Fourth Congressional District:

wears. Suffice it to say, however, that
/ am opposed to a tariff for protec-
TONS sake only, and that l endorse
the tariff law enacted by the Wilson
administration. / think the Federal
Reserve Banking law passed since
Wilson became President, n of the
greatest pieces Of legislation that has
been enacted by Congress in a hun
dred years. l congratulate the farm
ers of the country that the Wilson
administration gave them the Farm
Loan Bank, something that they have
talked about for nearly forty years.
So many new problems will con-
front our Government when this war
is over that it is difficult now to fore
see the Nations needs. Nevertheless
the same high principles of justice
that guided our fathers in founding
this Government should, and NJ doubt
will, be in the ascendant. The wisest
craftsmanship will be needed. The
greatest good to the greatest number
, should never cease to be our DUN
try's standard.
1t will be recalled that when u
present Congressman was seeking to
defeat the then incumbent (his form
er law partener and up to then his
true and tried friend) that he talked
loud and long about the length of
the then incumbent's service and the
wisdom of allowing a Congressman to
serve only two terms, certainly not
over three. He has been in Congress
now five terms or ten years and is
asking two more years. Would it
not be wise to take Mr.. Sisson at
what he said when he was FRESH
FROM THE PEOPLE" and retire
him? l do not think it improper to
ask: What has he done in Congress?

their conduct of the war.

sentative of this congressional dis
trict has come in our midst, under the

Iona, in mass meeting assembled, That
we denounce and condemn the above
mentioned sentiments expressed by
our representative in Congress, and
declare Mr.. Sisson wholly unfit to
represent the loyal citizenship of this
congressional district in the national
congress.
"We hereby express anew our con-
fdence in Woodrow Wilson, the great
est man who has ever occupied the
presidents chair, and pledge to u
brave boys who have willingly Of
fered their all to their government
our continued and wholehearted de-
votion and support; and
"We condemn any word, thought

those selected to reinforce them, or
discredit the righteous and just
cause for which they are fighting"

of Germany to sink our vessels, and
drown our men, women and children
on those vessels. To use Mr.. Sisson's
exact language, the war is being
fought to again establish the freedom
Of the seas or for the same cause
that the war of 1912 was fought y
Grenada Sentinel, Nov. %, 1917.
If irreconcilable positions were
taken by our Congressman, as above
indicated, what think you of that or
der of craftsmanship and method of
dealing with those who gave him a
Commission? I believe that this war
is a just war. I do not believe that
our country could have maintained
it's own ~self-respect and have kept
out of it. l know that President Will
son did everything that he could do
.honorably to maintain peace. He
was tolerant; he was patient. For
him to have allowed his people to SUBJ
NIT to the sinking Of our ships on the
high seas, where they had a right to
be, and the drowning of men and
women with their babes in their arms,
would have stamped him as unworthy
the confidence and the respect Of the
American people. This Government
takes orders from no other Govern
ment but it is ready to treat with all.
Our Governments real Ruler is the
Great God of the Universe who taught
love, peace and justice and who also
taught that that country which would
not protect its own was "worse than
an infidel." I am with Woodrow Will
son in this fight and believe in brush
ing non-essentials aside and making 1t
the bushes of all of us to follow the
Commander in Chief of our Army and
Navy until that human hyena who oc-
cupies the German throne is put
where he cam not rob and murder
and is made to atone for the deviltry
he has sown in the world.

WHAT CATARRH IS

Science has Shown that nasal catarrh
often indicates a general weakness of
the body and local treatments in the
form of snufs and vapors only i%rritate
and do little if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat
its cause by %enriching your blood with
the oil-food in SCOTS Emulsion which
is a medicinal food and a building
