' I ' ' I 'Do you realize the care and consideration which has been shown your hero sons? m They are the best equipped soldiers and sailors the world has ever seen. They are the' I I best fed and best clad. They are the best protected frosts disease of any troops in the war. jj j I . They are safeguarded from improper influences as carefully as if they were in a boarding 1 j I school. They are provided with amusements and treated like men. 1 ; H . Si Do you know that two millions of these boys have'bsen sent across the seas during the past year without the . f ' loss of a single transport under American convoy? Germany said we couldn't send a hundred thousand over. j! ' Both England and France regarded the achievement as little of miraculous, and the boys are still going over at the jj rate of a quarter of a million per month. Sj Do you consider how their insurance has been arranged and their allotments handled for ten times more people 1 than there are in the whole State of Utah? Never did a government take such excellent care of its boys or concern , j jj itself so practically about the welfare 6f those he left behind. a .

V 'i ! jl ' ..... a jJ That he spoke out is to his credit. The election of a supporting Congress means less . A ,fo to him than it does to thexountry; much less than it does to the boys at the front. Me can ;-! ! go on doing the best he is able, for friendly nations hail him as the leader of present day '' ' H leaders in the world. His fame is assured. But a congressional reversal will discourage Jj ; the allies aftd encourage the Huns. They may take hope from such a repudiation and go I I on with the war. It may take a half million lives to continue fighting on account of the 1 1 i success of politicians who oppose Wilson with more zeal than they fight the kaiser. ji Mothers!
