Show WHY LENUOOT IS OBJECTION A HUE Lenroot, who is aspiring to the senate in Wisconsin, voted to prohibit American passenger ships carrying ammunition across the ocean to the allies. That one act should bar him .from receiving receiv-ing a vote of confidence by the loyal people of Wisconsin. If the editor of the Standard had a vote in Wisconsin, that vote would be cast, first, against Berger, the traitor, and second against Lenroot, the half-hearted American. Inroot is a Republican, but he is not the best type of a Republican. If the editor 'of the Standard had a vote in Missouri, in Nebraska, in Oklahoma or Oregon, there is at least one very prominent promi-nent Democrat in each of these states who would be voted against. ' We would not vote for Stone of Missouri, if his opponent were Senator Weeks, and that is about the limit of odious comparison. The time has arrived when Americans must begin to draw a line in polities which knows no party, but goes to the question of loyalty and patriotism. Wherever a weak-kneed American politician politic-ian is found courting the favorable opinion of the ewemy forces in this country, he should be smothered with American votes. We want no half-way measures or half-way men. Ogden Standard. |
