Jasper County Democrat, Volume 23, Number 56, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1920 — KEEP FAITH WITH OUR DEAD [ARTICLE]

KEEP FAITH WITH OUR DEAD

"I promise you formal and effective peace just as soon as a Republican congress can pass Its declaration for a Republican president to sign.” “This is simply a bld for the disloyal pro-Gennan anti-American vote that favors a separate peace. This vote Senator Harding will get, but he deserves to lose the vote of every red-blooded loyal American citizen. "One of the men who has a wooden cross In Flanders for a monument sent this challenege to you and to me just before he went down to his death: ‘To you from failing hands we throw The Torch; be yours to hold it high! If ye break faith with us who die. We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.’ "Are you, “as an individual, going to break the faith? On the second day of November, in the secrecy of the voting booth and in the presence of God and your own conscience, you will answer that question. Your part in the ‘solemn referendum’ will then be played. In the name of 81,000 Americans who gave their lives for a better world, may your voice be added to the call of humanity, justice and peace!"—Speech of Capt. Thomas G. Chamberlain, formerly of the A. E. F., Rochester, N. Y., Sept. 23.
