OUGHT TO BE


Hubert Stevens and his lieutenants
ought to be ashamed of themselves
to raise the question of Vafdaman's
patriotism. What record has Stevens
as a patriot? He was % years old at
the outbreak of the Spo1:sh-American
war but he didn't go. He was Al at the
outbreak of the world war but he
didn't go, and it certainly i'll becomes
him or his campaigne managers to
raise their voice against the proven
patriotism of James K. Vardaman,
who left a wife and five children
and went to Cuba as a soldier in the
Spanish American war, and who at
the age of Sc offered his services to
his country in the word war. Where
Stevens then? The least said
about patriotism where Huert Stevens
is concerned the better for him, for he
has no record as such to stand upon,
while the mar that he and his hire
would defame has as good a re-
cord for genuine patriotism as any
American could desire.-Coast Beacon.
