They are needed now in the construc- ~w4iam of # great merchant marine, for the transportation-of men, arms, am- : flnlfl_n;md ‘food to Hurope. Every ‘man and woman.is urged by the * qgighitd Sfety Commission to use: friendly. influence and persussion in aid- . «4ng.yeung men to.realize the course in Which their duty lies. " -1/T'elegrams couched in most urgent terms have come from Washington to Governor Burnquist and the Public Safety Commission to the end that . ayery. available .agency in the state.be commandeered in this work. .

PRSI S WOMEN 'WANT A:EOYAL VOTE . <A’ vote against suftrage in the United States Senate is a_vote for Ger- many. Are American ideals to be at ‘the mercy of ‘the! votes: of the stay- at-hemmermen; of- slackers-and of the foreign born, instead of the loyal; .igafrfotio women ' whose husbands and sons are fighting for their country? . Texas is one of the states where aliens may, after conforming to state « ‘slestion. laws, vote on first papers..

These allen voters are not subject to the wdraftunless: they. have flled FINAL naturalization papers, which:- many t never-do. Yet they may! determine. the policies of the country on FIRST - papers--while American born women are kept politically helpless. ~The-votes of entire towns and;districts are Teutonic in sympathy. ~In the Southwest, Texas, Arizona andi New Mexico, the votes of thousands of #iliverate’ Mexican peons are easily lexploitable. “Will the American -people, | Atp¥ricans with the vision of a unified, saved Democracy see this = great m)qjll.ot.lllqn voters, whose loyaltyiis in doubt, vote to determine our poli- melesamd;do nothing to counteract ithis silent and. sure invasion of Amer- ~Jgan' democracy? SRR - SR REALLY, IT WAS LAUGHABLE .
