There is no Issue involved In tho

effec t or tend in any way to promote
the- winning of thli war Governor
Hobby has approved every measure
presented to him which w.ut de signed
to be of assistance in hc'l|iing to win
the grent contest in which we are In-
volved. No other man In his plane
would have clone. This being true,
why should ll.e time and attention or

necessary to sustain tho boys In tho

In any way contribute toward the suc-

It Is a matter n' small consequence
who shall lie governor of this State
for the next two years, compared
with the great questions which tiro
facing us at the present time.
"The time and attention necessary
to l>e given in working tip political or-
ganisations and meetings, the object

has clone everything In his power to

more profitably bo spent In aiding
our government to meet and overcome
the many problems and obstacles that
are now presented.

"Tho lime, thought and energy of
our people, should be directed to the-
one great purpose of bringing nhout
a complete and overwhelming victory
for American arms. All other ques-

one greet purpose.
"It ought not and will not lie nec.
essnry for Governor Hobby to defend

patriotic cltl*on will concnle that
during Ills Incumbency he hue ap-
proved all legislation which In any
