Vote The Democratic Ticket

Case of 115 Republicans and 34 Democrats for Germany

CONGRESSMAN BARNHART voted AGAINST the nefarious McLemore (House) Gore (Senate) Resolution (1916) that would have surrendered to Germany the American people's rights to the free use cf the seas. A total of 1 15 rcruMicans t and 34 democrats in both houses, voted for it.

SUPPORTERS of ArÄrPTv J. Hickcp. th rpiiMi.-nn r.nmlrr for

rrr'. havp been dJftrlbutir.ff litrr.ituro and wiord talcs of Conrcs"v, man Barnnart's non-support of tfcp president, untruthfully nFPrtir.;? that he voted for the McLomore resolution when In the hou?e. South Temple, clerk of that hotly, says ho didn't, and Kives you the pane v (3720) of th Congressional Record, ns proof. Rarnhart voted fr . America not Germany. REPUBLICANS vrho peek to make carltal of the fart that McL'tnrp f and Gore are democrat?, need to remember, too, that th democrats at the first primary retired Conj?repman Mclvemore for private life with the end of his present term and Gere is similarly scheduled.

ON tho other hand Congressman Irvine I. p,enroo?, who votd for the McLemore resolution In the house, went beforo the republicans of A pro-German Wisconsin, with his vote on that pro-German resolution

ag-ainst him, and had himself elected to tho United states senate.

TIIERC la no record of any republican belnj? retired by republicans for " voting for that Ignominious measure: A SURRENDER IN ADVANCE OP ONE OP THE VERY THINGS WE ARE NOW. FIGHTING FOR " THE FREEDOM OF THE SEAS.

ON the contrary. Georpe W. Wlckersham. attorney pencral under

Pres't Tart, addreesinc republican loaders at Lancaster. Pa., recently, gave euch opposition to the president, a clean till, end ursd th.it they alone are fit for congressional seats. Hero are his words: ,f ; 11"; "Seo that you elect republicans who will net at the tack and call of the pre-ldent. Eco to It that republic- ' are who have acquiesced in what the president wanted " I during the part two years are retired."

THAT sets forth all k. o. p. rupporter of tho McLmore-Gcrc resolutions in tho fcr.ate and house 113 republicans to 2 4 oemccrats athe only cnei fit to te reelected; theso and the rcpubllca-s who cast tho S44 votes along with those of 51 antl-admlnlstratlon demoera.. peeking to "restrain tho president" on tho other vital wtr tili th-t the "president wanted."

BEWARE of the party leader, newspaper, billboard or pamphlet, which never mentions the president o: his policies without slur or slander, yet asks the people to "stand by the president" by sending men to congress from the republican parry the party which has furnished practically all the votes against administration war measures. Republicans "Restrain" The President Barnhart "Sustains Him

He Sustained the President
