Senator Johnson said, "Mr. Wilson was hard pressed when he quoted Theodore Roosevelt yesterday. Oh, if Roosevelt wore only hero. The nation never needed him more. His commanding personality, hlfi lofty patriotism, his love and pride in our nation, his very personality typical of our republic, his loyalty to tho great cause of democracy, his rod' blooded Americanism would havo make short work of the un Americ.in thing which Mr. Wilson seeks to foist upon us. How strange nnd weird and unnutu'u! It seems for Mr. Wilson to quote Mr. Roose velt. "Of course, Mr. Roosevelt, like all of the rest of us, would havo gone far to have prevented war but when any man says for an instant that he would accept the p.-o-Britian document which would have put the country under the direction of for eign nations, that man affronts tho revered memory of Theodore Roos.; velt.

Mr. Wright hu been a resident of this county All of his lite and Is a tnxpayor. He Is a koon observer and has giv en tho mattor enroful consideration. Therefore his views upon the sub ject are worthy of consideration. L. A. Wright of Union "I have glvon the matter of good roads and tho bonding proposition considerable thought, and after caroful consideration am satisfied In uiy own mind thnt tin coming bond oleotlon should carry. Of course, wo are all In favor of good roads. No one quostlons thnt part of tho Issuo. It is simply a mattor of when and how. I can see no othor way than to bond the county. As I understand the plan, every dollar appropriated by Union county is practlcully mulched by state and federal appropriations. Tho mattor of the additional tax made neces sary by the bond Issuo does not scare me In the least, In tho first place, I do not consider It an ox ponso. I put the cost of good roads In the investment class. In my es timation a good rond Is or. much an Investment as the ti actor or tho plow. 1 enn also seo how good ronds will bring about tho subdi vision of many of tho largo farms, and no one questions tho fact that Union county needs nirfre Tiirnl cltlrtcns. In this day or automobiles und trucks n good rond bed Is ab solutely necessary If wo ato to hopo to get full efficiency from our trans portation Investment. I feol that Union county has passed tho repair and patching days and now wo must build for today and tomorrow, In stead of simply for today. Tho bonds will bo paid for within tho twonty year period and they will have earn ed their cost long before the final payment is dun. I nm certain that If we do not votn this bond Issue at this time tho other highways will havo been constructed beforo tho Columbia highway Is finished through Union county and the tour ist traffic will be diverted over other routes and wo will ho completely off the map so far as this Important class of travel Is concerned. I do not feid that wo can afford to delay the mattor. Yes, I am In favor of good , roads, and hopo to see tho bond Is sue carry. I also M'smi to go on rec ord as saying that I bi-llevo In mak ing all stale and county road con- slructlon through properly adver tised contracts and not by the state or county. I think this system will insure better work at a less cost. We must havo the roads If wo wish to keep Union county on the map." AN ULTIMATUM lODliNZIO 1H i.itt.N ii Moi l'.
