Pro-Kaiser in 1917; Pro-Japin 1920 VOTE AGAINST JONES! Even if we could forgive and forget Wesley Lusitania Jones’ miserable appeal for kaiser interests in the critical days of March, 1917, his pro-Jap afhliations in 1920 make him unfit to represent the people of Washington in col ngress. And his pro-Jap affiliations are REAL; his “prestige” in the senate is only imaginary. Jones has been in congress 22 years, it is true. But he could be there a century and still be negligible. It isn’t length of service, but the kind of service, and the personality of the man, that count. Neither Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, nor Senator Hid Johnson nor Senator Phelan of Californa, nor Senator Borah of Idaho, has been in congress as long as Jones. But each of these Western men commands more respect, more in- fluence and more national importance and standing Don’t be fooled by this talk of Jones’ “prestige.” Washington, no one knows he exists, ‘ Washington is, however, entitled to a ple of this state the service they WANT. rT hey ¢ they wanted a kaiser-lover.
