Governor Gov-ernor Hokomb, addressing a state war council here today, urged citizens to refrain from criticism of the government govern-ment and to co-operate in every way possible. Referring to the government order for a five-day suspension of factory fac-tory operation, he said: "You have seen the order in the newspapers this morning about clos- iug the factories for five days. It is up ;to all of us to refrain from criticising criticis-ing the government, and each one of us should remember this and spread the doctrine in our home towns. "The only way for you to fight this war is to back up your government. govern-ment. The trenches are now three thousand thou-sand miles away, but there's plenty of Prussianized German element right here in this stato. If we are to be loyal to our boys 'over there' we must not let that element show its head here. Lamp-posts have been put to other uses than for inebriates to lean against. I am not going to talk to you against loyalty and order, but we are going to maintain law and order some way, and the state is going to be kept right side up." |
