were de deceived when they counted on a divided America Spirit of 76 Survives Survives t That is a showing to make any anyone one oue prou proud In a country that is t known as the worlds world's melting pot one could not expect a greater percentage of loyalty to the president than 68 to 14 4 In the days ays o othe of the nations nation's infancy when the colonies colomes were calling for th the lives IV S of their heir men and the sacrifices of their women to uphold the principles bf of justice and liberty there was no greater proportion in favor of American ideals i The Tories easily numbered 14 to 68 patriots When one remembers that this republics republic's citizenship is recruited from rom from the far corners cornerS' of the globe that men men of foreign birth still t ll naturally cling to the love of their youth then a a Yc vote te of 6 68 to 14 in favor avor of upholding the he principles of justice and int international law is Ja ja- ja splendid showing We can never hope fo for a unanimous n expression lof of lof loyalty in America when wIlen a European nation is IS involved I But such a vote as was registered today in t the e United States senate will convince the foreign plotters that they must count on as loyal a stand for American principles now as England found in 1776 The ruinous division that the spies had r reported ported did not materialize Why Yr y the Vote Was Taken r i i Today's vote was taken on a motion to table the resolution by Senator Senator Gore warning all ll Americans off armed merchant ships I r THE SPLENDID AMERICANISM IN PRESIDENT WILSON REBELLED AT SUCH CR CRAVEN VEN OBEDIENCE TO THE THREAT 1 AND ND D DEMAND OF THE WAR MAD GERMAN KAISER He realized that to do such a sneaking and cowardly thing would be to blot out all that had been won by the spilling of Americans Americans' Americans Americans' Americans Americans' Amer Amer- blood when this republic was being cradled THE PATRIOTS OF 1776 DIED IN VAIN IF THIS LAND LANDOR IFOR OR WHOSE LIBERTY THEY FOUGHT AND BLED IS TO BOW TO ro THE EUROPEAN YOKE OF OPPRESSION AGAIN THE THEMEN MEN IMEN WHO WIiO so NOBLY GAVE THEIR LIVES IN THE eos FOR FORI

CO ARD I It ris is not to play thai role roje Joe The hc a answer given to Europe today roved rove that there are arc still Americans with the same high ideals and purposes purposes as there were in 76 and ii in the Patrick Henrys Henry's Steel Line America still has sons who believe life is not ot so precious as to be ought bought at the price of chains AND TO WARN AMERICAN AMERIC N CITIZENS CITI ENS ZENS OFF SHIPS ON WHICH THEY HAVEA HAVE A A PERFECT RIGHT BY INTERNATIONAL LAW LAV TO TRAVEL WOULD BE PUR CHASING PEACE AT SUCH A PRICE After the war what would be the verdict on America 1 EUROPEANS WHO COUNTED FOR ANYTHING WOULD SAY THAT WHILE THE NATIONS OF THE OLD WORLD WERE IRRESPONSIBLE AND NEEDED A RESTRAINING HAND THE ONLY WORLD POWER IN POSITION TO UPHOLD THE RULE OF RIGHT AND REASON SHIRKED ITS DUTY America wo would ld lose all the respect it won by its glorious vic vie victories tories of the past No long longer r would it be pointed to as the guardian of the weak and the staunch champion of justice To do such a thing would be like a mayor of a city attempting to suspend all municipal ordinances against crime during a riot It is Americas America's plain duty to say Bay to- to the war mad nations that they will be held strictly accountable for any wrongs done citizens of this republic If they can not fight without harming innocent Americans THEN THEY MUST STOP FIGHTING We Ve are not interested in their quarrel but we will become keen keenly inter interested sted if they try our patience an any y more As Senator Lodge said a few days ago a democracy cy that will not protect its citizens citizens' cannot exist Soup Kitchen Shirkers I Twenty one Republicans were v re big enough today to cast aside party prejudices and stand on their manhood They were ver patriotic e enough ough to place Americanism above politics above politics and vote according to the dictates of their conscience BUT THERE WERE SOME SHIRKERS OF COURSE SOME DID NOT WANT TO STAND BY THE PRESIDENT AND THEY DIDN'T HA HAVE VB THE COURAGE TO GO ON RECORD AGAINST HIM IN A MOVEMENT THAT WAS BOUND TO HAVE SUCH VITAL ITAL EFFECT ON THEIR NATIONS NATION'S FUTURE RE The same kind of have been known men in all wars They are called the U camp camp followers they make up the soup k kitchen bri bri- bri- bri gade WHEN THERE IS DANGER TO FACE FACE- ON THE THE- FIRING LINE THESE SHIRKERS RUSH BACK TO fO THE SOUP KETTLES HERE THEY CAN BE FOUND WHEN BRAVE MEN rEN ARE SPILLING THEIR BLOOD ON THE FIELD OF HONOR i I When the fighting is all U ov over r these men always come forth with tales of heroism in which they figured during trying tunes tines TODAY'S VOTE ON THE GORE RESOLUTION CALLED FOR SOME SOl OF THE SAME SAM STUFF THAT IS NEEDED WHEN MEN ARE AIlE ASKED TO LINE UP ON THE BATTLE FRONT AND IT lIS IS PAINFULLY NOTICEABLE THAT UTAH'S SENIOR SENA SENA- TOR NONE TOR NONE OTHER THAN THE HERO OF AR ARLINGTON WAS ARLINGTON WAS FOUND BACK AMONG THE SOUP KETTLES TODAY WHEN THE FIGHT WAS ON AND COURAGE WAS DEMANDED V When the president asked for a vote of confidence today through the medium of the Gore resolution he declared that he would accept n no compromise He ITe wanted the REAL AMERICANS to o o on g go rec ree- record ord and he wanted all who put prejudice and politics above their country's welfare ALSO PLACED ON RECORD IT WAS VAS RIGHT 2 THAT 5 EVERY fAN iIAN SHOULD REGISTER HIS OPINION rn n ON A QUESTION THAT PROBABLY WILT WILL PLUNGE THIS TillS NATION INTO THE WORLD WAR Reed Smoot b begged ged to tobe Q be excused from going on rec record rd He e left
