Hudspeth With LabOr's Enemies.
My opponent stands with the
enemies OF laOOr-a political demagOE
is an enemy Of labor. I call your at

him 10 contribute 10 a labor leader in

Dudley, Thomson Did Right.
president Wilson asks that the
man power Of the country be con-
served You remember here when
through dissipation many young men
contracted pneumonia and died. But
when the secretary Of war. acting for
the president, called on our state 10
enact the zone law TO protect young
men in the army, your two representa-
tives, Dudley and Thomson, did their
duty like men and patriots and voted
for the measure. / am not in any
combination with them. but 1 pay
them this tribute for having done
their duty.

Won't vote Against Home Wishes.
Il pledge myself that If elected as
your congressman, ] viii never cast
a vote for what the people al home
would be ashamed Of. II was bad
enough that Hudspeth would vote
against the zone bill, but IL was IN
pardonable that he would make you
believe he supported the measure. On
March II. when he said he voted for
the bill, he merely voted for the free
conference report which is custom
airy after a fight is over"
AIr. Cobb concluded his talk with an
appeal 10 all TO stand for pure Ameri-
canism in this crisis and DO all in
their power to help bring about the
certain ultimate victory.
Home Meetings Very Fitting.
Many political changes have taken
place" said Mr.. Nichols, who preceded
Mr.. Cobb. i believe il is very fitting
since the vote has been given women
that il be a usual thing 10 have po-
-iticar gatherings at homes.
"a supporter Of Hudspeth asked me
why Mr. Cobb dWelt on 100 percent
Americanism, asking are we not all

I do not think any one who voted as
dudspeth did is 100 percent Ameri-
