We, the members of the Democrat? ic club, Ward 1, of the city of Sumter, believing that we have in the person Of Wood TOW Wilson as safe, as sane, and as able a president of the United States as ever occupied the White 11ouse; recalling that, when the pres? ent German drive was at its acutest ?tage, a public character of national prominence was vociferously lind in;-' fault with the administration for ev? erything that it had done and had not done and for everything that he imagined that it would not do; whih cn the same day another national figure of equal prominence was with the president at the White House, ashing whether br not there was any? thing that he could do to lighten the president's grievous burden in thb hour of national peril; and realizing that our greatest menace in our coun try today is that loud-mouthed dis loyalty that has allied itself with in sidious treason to block every effort thai patriotism is making for the re demption of the world from Prussian oppression and Teutonic autocracy; do hereby resolve: First. That during this war, which has become in a peculiar sense Ameri Oa'l war. we pledge to Woodrow Wil? son, the champion of World Democ racy, our unwavering loyalty and ou Unyielding allegiance. Second. That we call upon all of lice holders and upon all who ma\ aspire to hold office to give to the ad ministration unquestioning and en thusiastic support. This is no tim> for partisan debate or partisan differ? ences. Third. That we demand of all citi? zens of our country 100 per cent. Americanism. That we demand that they be loyal to the country in which they live or live in the country to which they are loyal. There is but one of two roads to choose: For America or for her enemies. If Prus ?la be right, then serve Prussia; it America IS right, then, in the name Of Cod and humanity, serve America. To doubt would be disloyalty, to fal? ter would be sin. Ward 2 Club.

We must back our brave boys on la ml and sea; they must and will return victorious. We invoke the blessing of a gracious Cod upon a just cause. W. C. Harllee, Secretary and Treasurer.

The people of this nation are tirmly convinced o: the absolute justice and stern neeesitv of the war we are now waging, and know full well that the perpetuity ol our form of government and the preservation of those rights which the government guarantees them depend upon a decisive victory upon the battle tield for the United States and h ?r allies. They reali'/.e the seriousness of the situation, the strength of their foe, and the enormous sacrifice of blood and treasure they must make in order to win such a victory. They stand ready to support the government, or the administration, in any measures which appear to them to be effective. The chief aim ^?1 a belligerent na? tion is to assemble and make effective in the shortest time / possible an amount of physical force requisite to prosecute tl .var to a successful ter? mination; foi the more vigorously a war is pursued the better it is for all engaged therein. As to those move? ments and r,?asures relating to the prosecution of war, time Is of su? preme impor' mce. The fate of a na? tion may ham; upon an Interval of an hour, a day, or a week. These facts should be borne con? stantly In mind by the people of the United State? when they undertake to form or essay to express an opinion as to the propriety of any order made by their president or those acting un? der him. In order to win the war with the minimum amount of friction, the peo? ple must adjust their mental proc? esses to the extraordinary conditions that exist. In passing judgment upon a policy, the..' must not attempt to apply the tests appropriate in times of peace. Ifen must not be moved to captious criticism because of per? sonal inconveniences' which they would under >o circumstances be called upon to endure In times of peace. They must have always In mind the thought that the ultimate object of this war is a lasting peace; that the hardships must be endured in order that they may at the very earliest possible moment resume their normal manner of living, and enjoy again the privileges and blessings of a free government, at peace with all the world. v We must steel ourselves to endure without grumbling the hardships en? tailed by this war. We must possess our souls with infinite patience, and not indulge in captious criticism. In forming or et pressing an opinion relative to the iflanner In which the affairs of the nation are being 'con? ducted, we should resolve every doubt in favor of our government, and should not be influenced by personal or partisan ends. The people t irouphout this section or America an "keeping the home tires burning." There Is no difference of sentiment ai mng them. They are determined to remain a unity In sen? timent and In s ilrit. What they fear most of all is that selfish and design? ing interests may succeed in tearing down the splendid, efficient machine which the president.has builded. The people out this way call the machine efficient becausr hey know that never in the world's ..Istory has so much been accomplish rd in so short a time,
