The Fergusons and National Defense
Very few people are discussing politics. Every one is talking war.
This is as it should be for the first qualification of good citizenship is
patriotic love for the Nation and the red-blooded desire to defend it.
Governors may come and governors may go but the first instinct of
every true American will always be to preserve National safety at any
cost.
However, we must soon face the duty of electing a governor and a
legislature to serve during the two stormy years just ahead. When
a hurricane strikes, only an experienced pilot can guide a vessel safely
to shore. In the dark days before us, only seasoned leaders should be
placed at the helm. This is a vital and necessary part of National
defense.
Serving as a war governor is not a new experience for the Fergu
sons; it will only be a repetition of similar service rendered during the
first world war, if we are forced into another contest.
With the help of President Roosevelt they ministered to the needs
and suffering of the unemployed in time of peace; by his side they will
meet the problems and the dangers that arise in time of war.
The Fergusons have been weighed in the balance and not found
wanting. They have stood the test; they have kept the faith.
