WESLEY LUSITANIA JONES is sadly mis- taken if he thinks that his rival, Col. William Inglis, is responsible for the senator’s “war record” as an issue in this campaign. : Far be it. The colonel was too busy to give an; thought to politics when that issue was raised. It was raised, not by political enemies of Senator Jones, but by the men and by the newspapers who had been his friends. It was they (whom he had particularly offended because they had believed in him) who branded him as a “disgrace,” who regarded him as one who “betrayed” this state. :It is a singular thing (is it not?) that a man who has been senator for 12 years, hasn't a single outspoken friend among public men, public ies, semi-public lies or news- papers in this state. Whatever support hé has today for re- nomination to the senate is under cover. It doesn’t dare to come out in the open. It is hidden, and therefore it is insidi- ous support. * my s WAS NOT Col. Inglis who declared Wesley L. Jones was “this commonwealth’s disgrace.” It was not Col.
