on the 25th day of August, 1917,
which was printed in the Coman-

which I said: “I have letters
from every quarter asking if
there is any chance to evade the
conscript act. That seems to be
the thing that has aroused the
people to action. I say to you,
as I have said to them without a
single exception, THAT IS THE
LAW, placed on the statute
books. I know of no way to
evade it. I have no disposition
nor desire to disobey or evade it,
nor to see others do so.... I am a
lawabiding citizen, and as such
I counsel you not to break any
law. I am glad to know that not
a man in Comanche county fail-
ed to register according to the
law or to appear before the board
when called."

Blanton had a stenographer on

speech. He knows that the
statement that he made in the
Cisco News and that he has been
making in speeches over the dis-
trict is a base falsehood. Blan-
ton’s reckless slandering of ev-
erybody that opposes him in any
way or manner is the reason for
his being thoroughly discredited
in the House of Representatives
and it should thoroughly dis-
credit him with an honest con-
