Show Consistency Th u Art a Jewel But the Democrats do Not Know KnoY Thee Tee I Two years ago and more the Republican party could see that War Var was as sure to befall this peace-loving peace country as the night is sure to follow the day and they advocated preparedness Preparedness was then the greatest word wordin in the English language If it had been adopted and America had been prepared for this great war it would have saved the lives of millions in Belgium Russia France Italy in fact in all aH Europe This is proved by the fact that after America became prepared for war it only took about 90 days to bring the Central Powers to their knees and make them plead for peace The Democratic party part opposed Preparedness and went up and down the country calling upon the people to vote for Mr Wilson Vilson because he was too proud to fight thanking God that he lie and his wisdom had kept us out of war All An this time women and children by the thousands in Europe were falling before the rage of the insane Hun and his Allies When the election was over War Var was declared and we were no longer too proud to fight and he lie had no longer kept us out of war The President then made a call for Great War Var Measures and upon 51 61 real calls on great war measures between April 1917 and May 1918 the votes cast by Republicans Republicans Republicans in favor of such measures were 72 percent while the votes cast by the Democrats for such measures were only 67 per cent Mr Democratic lC lender lder of the House with a lot more of his party voted against War Mr Champ Clark Democratic Speaker of the House said saidA A l Conscript was precious little different from a Convict At this late hour after telling the American People that politics is a adjourned and that everyone should give his entire attention to the war and nothing else the Democratic Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic President jumps into the boiling pot of Politics and tries to pull the whole American People in with him He tells us that to elect any other class of people to Congress but Democrats would be to repudiate our record in this war and give give- encouragement to the Hun FIRST IT IS HIS I AD ONLY HIS WISDOM 1 THAT CAN AND WILL VILL KEEP US OUT OF V WAR AR SECOND IT 11 ITIS ITIS IS HIS AND ONLY HIS WISDOM THAT CAN SUCCESSFULLY SUCCESSFULLY SUCCESSFULLY SUCCESS SUCCESS- FULLY CONDUCT THE WAR VAR and now he would have us believe that it is his and only his wisdom that can successfully successfully success success- fully continue the war It was the enraged voice of the American People and of the seeing far-seeing Republicans in Congress who could not stand by any longer and see the bloody hand of the Hun cutting women and babies to pieces and outraging little innocent girls who forced the Democrats then in power to declare war It has been the party in the United tes and in Congress ever since April 1917 who have been at the forefront of all measures which would hasten or promote the war In the safety zones of the United States there are two million Democratic Political Office Holders each of whom is safe from any of the dangers of the war Equally true it Is that there are two million and more boys at the front the majority of whom are Republicans fighting the death struggle with the bloody Hun And the theone theone theone one American Principle for which they are all fighting and which lies at the foundation of all sane and government is the unquestioned right of all people Of f a government to vote for and elect to office the man of their own choice and not one of the choosing of the party in power The President would have you believe that it is necessary necessary sary at this election to vote for democrats to fill the chambers chambers chambers cham cham- bers of Congress in order to properly conduct the government government government govern govern- ment and conduct the war and prove to the Hun that his acts are not repudiated minded Fair-minded people might believe believe be be- lieve this fairy tale fairy tale if the record were not against the Democrats in Congress ever since war was first talked about If the Presidents President's wishes are carried out he will have Claude Kitchin reelected to Congress who voted against the war and has voted against Womans Woman's who voted against the draft law and many other important measures necessary to the conduct of the war If his plan is carried out as he lie asks the American people to do he lie will elect Henry Ford who fought against war even after war was declared who said that the American American American Amer Amer- ican flag was only a thing to rally round who claimed exemption exemption ex ex- emption for his son so that he lie could stay at home in the safety zone on the claim that he needed him to work in his institution who has made millions minions of dollars of war profits profits profits prof prof- its in profiteering out of the hard-earned hard donations donations' of the American people a man who has fought against all an war measures since war was talked about If his wishes are complied with he will reelect many other congressmen who have fought-against fought all of the great measures necessary to the conduct of the war as against Republicans support of the President and of all war war measures measure's has been most remarkable and tory But to say that none none but Democrats ought to fill the Congressional Chambers of this nation without relegating the American Government and the Amer American can people to the stigma of disloyalty and of lending encouragement to the Hun is distasteful dangerous un-American un and a direct of the sacrifices made by American Wives Vives Sisters and Mothers It is opposed to the basin basio principles of the American Constitution And the blood of our brave American boys who have so cheerfully given up their lives for this one cardinal principle of humane government cries out with a thousand voices against such vain and ungrateful insinuation Imagine if you can their chagrin after giving their lifes life's blood to deliver suppressed suppressed suppressed sup sup- pressed Europe from the shackles of Autocracy cy and Kaiser Kaiser- ism to learn that in his own America the beloved home of the free the presidential edict has gone forth so limiting and circumscribing the inalienable rights of American citizenship that any any person voting to send to Congress a aman aman aman man not of the political faith of the President is disloyal and lending encouragement to the Hun Let me ask you ou good American reader what act or Political Advertisement word of any Republican either cither in the United States Senate Senate Senate Sen Sen- ate or Congress has given the Hun so much encouragement encouragement encouragement encourage encourage- ment and consolation as he out his hellish dis- dis and murder upon land and se sea as the tho following words and acts TOO PROUD TO fO FIGHT THANK GOD HE HAS KEPT US OUT OF WAR VAR HIS WISDOM I WILL VILL KEEP US OUT OF WAR VAR NOTE WRITING NOTE WRITING NOTE WRITING CHAMP CLARK DEMOCRATIC DEl SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE CLA CLAUDE CLAUD KITCHIN DEMOCRATIC DEl TIC FLOOR LEADER IN CONGRESS CONGRESS CONGRESS CON CON- GRESS AND MR l DENT CHAIRMAN OF l AFFAIRS ALL DEMOCRATS FOUGHT AND VOTED AGAINST THE DRAFT LA LAW V Vh What t could encourage the Hellish Hun more than to i know that with six hundred and forty million dollars the Democratic Party was una unable le to put one American American Air machine into the fighting line before August 1918 What could encourage the Kaiser more than to know InlOW that such fighting men as Col Theodore Roosevelt were not allowed to have any voice mice ice or to take any part in this great war at all pimply because he lie was not a de democrat i In fact what could encourage the tlC Hun more than t to know InlOW that the next Congress of the United States would be composed of Democrats who have all opposed war fought against conscription fought against the rights of I the mothers of our brave soldier boys to ha have e a vote in inthe inthe the election of our state and federal officers It was the Democratic Congress that defeated Womans Woman's just a few days ago although the president t asked them to vote in favor of the resolution Just co compare the record of the Democrats during the war with the record of the Republicans who were in the tho United States senate and in ill congress and you will see that th the Republicans really gave the President his greatest strength on war measures That the Republican Slogan has always and ever been Stand by the Var War stand against the Hun speed up the war Become prepared in time and it is safe to say that if we had been prepared for war when it was declared and before Russia crumbled the war would be over now and all our boys would be here herc with us to take talce Christmas dinner at home The Democratic party was too proud to fight until when we did actually declare war we had no army no navy no guns no-guns guns no a muni tion factories We Ve had watched and waited while the bloody sword of the Hun pierced the bowels of women and babies by the thousands while the up-turned up faces of helpless mothers on the pitiless waves of the ocean cried for help while the German army poured into Belgian territory and gained a stronger foot Do not be swayed by appeal to vote for a Democratic Democratic Democratic Demo Demo- cratic Congress because it is only a political move and can serve no other purpose than to give the Democratic Party another hold on Congress for two more years and we donot donot donot do- do not want two more years of dragging along with this W WT wn I IVe I'Ve We Ve want it ended and the only way to end it and do it is to elect a Republican Congress and the Hun will be down and out for all time |
