Set Loyalty First.

"If in any congressional or senatorial
election there prove to be danger of the
election of disloyal candidates, it will
become the duty of Americans, regard
less of party affiliations to defeat such
candidates and to set loyalty to the
nation above personal loyalty to the
party.
Let no party nominate or elect to
Congress any candidate on a so-called
peace platform. The American nation.
under the leadership of the President
chief of the Army and Navy, is for
peace; but a righteous and enduring
peace cannot he secured until America
and the allied powers shall have
achieved victory over the armies and
governments of the central powers. or
their peoples. having repudiated those
who have been guilty of the crime of
willing. initiating and carrying on the
war; shall, in the Interest of just
peace have recovered their right to
control their own destiny"

and there isn't enough left OF them to
