entering the war. But after war had
actually been declared, it was then has
most sacred duty to lend his full-heart-
ed and entire support to everything
which could be done to bring the war
to a successful conclusion and justify
tho faith Of the men who fought it out
for us and sacrificed their very lives.
A glance at the war record of LaFol-
lette showing how he voted on all OF
the war measures shows that LaFol-

is refusing to. vote.

we know him." it is true that birds
of feather are prone to flock together
We have said that the enemies OF our
country during. the war were friends
and are now the friends Of LaFollette
and that they are the ones who are
cheering him on today. Lest we forget

Robert M. LaF gillette.
He was nominated by a Socialist
and picked gathering not a convention
of representative American people
gathering together in convention after
having been chosen in Primaries or by
the choice Of their home folks. He was
nominated by motley gathering of
the most radical sociaistic and commu-
nistic men and women within our land
today. These are facts and can not be
disputed. He did not submit his can
didacy to the American people despite
the fact that he processes a desire
to give the people more voice in their
government. Many states were hold
ing primaries but he did not offer his
name in but two of them. His delegates

convention was in fact virtually an
adjourned meeting of conference in
st. Louis Missouri which convention

tators Socialists and Communists, each
man with his special hobby such as
public ownership of all public utilities
and industries, program of State So
cialism. the destruction of our Courts,
the abolition of injunction in any labor
disputes by legalizing Of the right OF
agricultural and industrial strikes and
the guarantee of government funds for
their organization and immunity from
legal action growing out Of strikes, the
creation of government corporation,
the destruction of the Federal Reserve
banking system, the practical abolition
of our present army and navy, pro-
hibiting military service or training
in any form. The actual call for his
convention was issued by the St. Louis
convention of radicals and socialists.

popular demand? Who are his hench-

I. w. WIS, Morris Hillauith. Inter-
national secretary of the Socialist gar

LaFollette claims to be a Progress

than being Progressive, he is the
traditional wolf in sleeps clothing.
