EST AND MOST DEPENDABLE MEN IN THE HOUSE Because of embarrassment the Pres ident has suffered by reason of letters written to South Carolina during this campaign, the President some time ago announced in a letter to Mr. L. D. Jennings that he would not interfere in local party contests. The attacks made upon Congressman Byrnes by his opponents, however, have given such genuine regret to the President that he has sent a message to the vot ers of the Second District through Congressman Carter Glass of Virgin ia. Mr. Glass is the Chairman of the Banking and Currency Committee of the House; he is the author of the Federal Reserve Bank Act; and the Federal Farm Lean Act.

His reply was that if he could do this for you, and stop right there, it would give him genuine pleasure to attest, in that way, your loyalty; but the difficulty, he said, arises from the fact that he has scores of such requests in behalf of other members, compliance with which would -involve him unpleasantly in local party contests all over the country.

(From The Aiken Standard, August 2,1918.) In the desperate effort to defend his position—attacked as he is by his op ponents on the question of loyalty, be cause of his vicious and venomous attack upon the Selective Draft as a means of raising an army to fight Germany—Congressman Byrnes pro duced a letter at the campaign meet ing Thursday, and read it for the edification of the crowd.

We have been asked by the local Red Cross authorities to impress up on the families of soldiers that a most positive army rule states that when a soldier is called home, by wire or letter, on account of illness or death, such calls must be verified by the Red Cross Chapter of his county.
