open with a great political campaign.
That energy could be applied with
better effect to selling liberty bonds
and to promoting other war activities.
But it was not long after this state­
ment was made that we found our pres­
ident endorsing certain candidates for
seats in congress and even urging men
who had no such ambitions, or who were
supposed to have no such ambitions, to
get into the game.
A congressman here fell under the
president’s displeasure and the voters
of that district were asked to keep him
at home. A candidate gomewhere else
was high in the esteem of the president
and he received the president's endorse
ment.
What are we to make of this!
Had the presidential disfavor been
shown all those who had failed to sup
port the war program, we could readily
find an excuse and would say that this
assumption of democratic autocracy was
justified.
But we find the presidential endorse­
ment given Henry Ford, one of the most
notorious pacifists until after we were
in the war, of whom it is said that he
even made disloyal remarks about our
flag and whose son has been kept from
the battlefields where the sons of other
fathers are bleeding and dying. It is
true that Henry Ford is now doing his
utmost in promoting the war. He now
supports that which he once designated
as inexcusable murder.
But we find the presidential dis­
favor has fallen upon Congressman
Mlayden, of Texas, and the charge
against him is not half as severe as that
which may be brought against Henry
Ford. Mr. Slayden did not approve the
