Judge John NJ. Patterson, of Common
Peas Court. addressing 400 men in the
wharton Street Methodist Episcopal
church, Fifty-fourth and Catharine

uphold President Wilson.
Regardless OF your party" said
Judge Patterson, "it is your duty to up
hold the President. Let us not call him
names. We may differ in opinion re-
sarding his plans and his views. but we
must stand squarely and firmly behind
him.
Attacks on men in office go all the
way down the line TO the smallest city
official. After a while people will be-
gin TO believe that something really is
wrong with our form of government.
That is what the Bolsheyki want. We
don't want Bolshevism. Nor do we want
national and city officials. Just stand
up for them. The public put them in
office and II is up to the public to back
them. Let's all get together and make
