RACKET STORE'S GREAT SUMMER ANNOUNCEMENT MAY 16, WIS IS IBIS THE YOTE OF A PATRIOT? i Continued from page 1. in the lancuatre of Congressman Farrhe voted "to put a yellow streak in the flag." In the language of Congress man Graham he was PRO-GERMAN, and did not want to be ONLY AN AMERICAN. Congressman Focht's vote on the McLemore resolution was condemned in the following scath ing language in an able editorial written by T. A. Appleby, a gal lant veteran of the Civil War, in The Twice-A-Week Republican on March 10, 1916, headed "The Shame of the 17th District" "In the vote taken In the House f f Representatives in WashinKton on Tuesday, which Ineffortwas intend ed to assure the count' y and t''e world that Congress was backing the President in his efforts to de fend the cltlzena of the Union, and her honor against Germany we are all shocked to ilnd our representlve arrayed against the President; thus Jiving encouragement to Germany n murdering our people on the sea. We have not given Mr. Fount Credit for sincerity in seeking the country, jbut weCnpposed he had sense enough tci know that Mi con stituents wre patriotic citizens of the United States, and that he mis represented them when he voted to hamper the President In his efforts to maintain the honor of the couniay. "A mere politician should have known that the American people are neitheJ craven or cowards, nor are the men in this District cravens or cowards, il. K. Focht may have represented his private views in his vote against the President If he id we do not admire his sense of manhood. We are ashamed of him." The Philadelphia North Amer ican condemns Congressman Focht's vote on the McLemore resolution in the issue of Decern ' ber 9, 1917. as follows: 'Focht and his friends realize that a support the government and help win the war' cry might go all right in the case of a congressman who had done either one. Con gressman Benny Focht, so far from being numbered among the suppor tera of the Government, was not numbered among the early suppor ters of the war. lie voted for the McLemore resolullon that invited Germany to sink our ships and slaughter our citizens." 1 C0M0N ERROR.
