RANKIN’S SUGGESTION Representative Rankin, who voted against entry of the Uniied States in the World War, sug gested to the assembled guests: "Send piles of letters to President Roosevelt and your representatives and senators. "A militant minority with the right on Its side can keep this eountry out of war," she de clared. ‘‘To fight we must have a unified nation. By their let ters the |>enple can have it known that they do not want war, that they will not support the President should he try to force them into war." The gray haired little legislator «aid she felt that passage of Hie lend-lease bill would be a step to wards war. “We can't settle disputes hy killing our young men," she added. “We are a great nation today because we haven't killed our young men in war. The na tions of Europe are going down because they have.” CANDIDATES INTRODUCED Judge Fead acted as master of ceremonies. Besides introducing the speakers he took time out to acquaint the assembly with many familiar and unfamiliar judicial candidates who were present.
