Disloyalty accusations target Indiana Republicans
A reader challenges the Herald's claim that disloyal individuals will unite on a party ticket. The letter argues Republicans backed wartime measures, praises Will Hays and Indiana leaders, and defends GOP loyalty while condemning copperhead labeling. It cites Creel and state defense leaders and questions the Herald's basis for disloyalty charges.
