In the imlltk-al world Just now, but I
want tn say to you so far as I am jier
soi ml I. \ concerned. that 1 would rather
be an outcast in tho eyes of Windrow
Wilson, and a follower of .lesUs Christ,
i hau to |m- a follower of Wood row
Wilsn ainl an outcast from Jesus

1 was opposed to this war. Had I
ho* ii a I niled States senator or a con
gressman 1 would have voted against
it, and I believe religiously, as tlrmiy
as I believe that there is a CkkI in
heaven, that on the tlnal judgment
da> every American citizen who is
killed in this war off American soil
will he charged against the president
of the I uited States and the members
of the congress of the 1'iiited States
who voted for it. as an unwarranted
sacrifice in the sight of Almighty (iod
of fresh young American manhood.
"i>o not misunderstand me. We are
now in this war and it must he pushed
to a suctvtfsl'ul conclusion. The might
of the nation must he thrown towards
bringing it to an end at the earliest
possible moment. And let us all pray
Hod that It. may be brought to a suc
cessful end before a great number of
our you n if men aiv killed upon the
hattleHelds of Kurope. We are in tho
tight and w'e must tight it to tho
finish with all the (xnver of our great
nation.
"When Christ was ujkui this cartli.
he taught, 'Blessed are the j>eaoe
makors.' Can any mail show me where
Christ over safd. 'Blessed be the war
maker'.'' No, but he did say that he
came ujxm earth to save men and not
to destroy them. He led the fight for
Christianity and to save from death. j
Today what do we find in this great
country of ours? Wo find the press,
with all its might and power, swing
ing itself upon the side of death and
destruction. Wo find tJiat for fear of
losing that awful Influence of money,
it is willing to rush into the trenches
of France tho bono and sinew and
the very Mower of the mauhood of the
American republic. We find more than
that that it fears, yea, it cowers lie
noath :he lash of that influence. and
gives to i be ix'ople of this nation no
information ewept what the editor
wants the people to see. It keeps the
news from the people: it hides? the
facts : it conceals the truth, and it
gives to us only those things which
it 1 1. Inks will inspire passion, and will
call the mean ?? "d not gooTF fir 'flu*"

The former governor read ox tracts

"1 was never prouder in inv life
than when 1 picked up a paper last
April and noticed that Fred Hominick
had voted against war. Tho Third

and there is no man who can b"ut bun
