is difficult to give expression to the re-

those who control II. 1t stands for Dem

II is iniquitous that any man should be

and in effect compel such to bow to the

a man because Of his religious Convic-

but whatever may be the reason such
persons should remember that good citi-

recover from the wave of bigotry, which
from time to time ebbs and flows. But,
while it is at its high tide, as at present,
it will be well for those who are assist

CLAIMS WON'T

Single Branch of Govern
ment Service.

A careful survey of the recent cleo
ton in the several States. has been made
by the Democratic National Committee.
From tabulation, facts have been de-
Quoted showing that PresidentWllson re
ceived a very substantial endorsement
upon his year and eight months of office.
To their statement exception has been
taken by some Of the Republican press
who are seeking to minimize the showing
made.
When it is taken into consideration
that the history Of parties demonstrates
that reform administrations rarely re-
ceive immediate approval and that the
President is upheld by a handsome ma
jority in both branches Of Congress, the
committees contention can not be dis
puted. except by a partisan Republican
press.
Mf. Wilson'S vindication has been COM
plete and emphatic Some of the oppo-
sition press have gone so far as to wide
ly circulate the story that had 1914 been
a presidential year. President Wilson

The National Democratic Committee
has made rejonder to this statement
showing that the g. 0. p. has no reason
to felicitate itself over existing condi-
tions.
The Committee says:
a standpat Republican paper circu-
lated a story a few days ago in which
the claim was made that the Republicans
would have named the President in the
Electoral College on the basis Of the vote
of Tuesday Ten states are listed by
this standpat Republican authority in
which the Democrats electedeither their
candidates for Governor or United States
Senator The Republicans are not in
charge of a single branch of the Govern
ment service They lost three states in
the Senate, cutting down their represen-
tation there to the lowest point in more
than 80 years. They lost the House
when every precedent testifies that they
should have polled a victory, and now a
fake has been inaugurated to give them
apparent credit out of Tuesdays results
The Democracy would have had approx
imately 100 majority in the Electoral Col
Iege on the basis of Tuesdays vote.

Before the November election, the Gin

torial, picturing hard times and blaming
President Wilson. Those editorials were
written in the hope Of injuring the Dem
ocratic party. Now that the election is
over and no more harm can be done to
the Democrats. the same newspaper con-
tanned an editorial Tuesday. telling Of
prosperous conditions over the country
The editorial concluded thus:
For the first time in the history Of the
United States since the Civil War the
machinery for furnishing the currency Of
the country is under Federal Government
direction and control, and when it fails
to act as the people desire they have it
in their power to remove the obstruc
tions to eliminate the clogs and arrange
it to produce the required results.
THE era of prosperity delayed three
or four months by the outbreak of the
war in Europe, is now being ushered in
for the benefit Of the people Of the
United States.
Two important things were left out in
the Enquirer's editorial 1t did not state
that Democratic president and a Dem
ocratic congress passed that currency leg
islation. For to admit this fact, the En-
puirer would be confessing that it had
unjustly attacked the president and con-
gress. The editorial also failed to state
that before the election it blamed the de-
lay of prosperity upon the Democratic

London, Nov. 19.-The Russian
army in northwest Poland has recoy-
cred from the blow dealt by the Ger
mans at Kutno and is once more push
ing forward. In East Prussia the Ger
mans are resisting stubbornly in the
Masur1an lake region. In southwest
Poland the Russians have had all the
advantage Of preliminary fighting.
These are the main points in dis
patches received here from Petrograd
From other sources it is learned that
the center Of the Russian line is being
attacked with great fury and that the
city of Warsaw is threatened by the
Germans.
II is apparent from both Russian
and German official statements that
the Russian armies have been check
ed in northwest Poland and are at
tempting to gain momentum between
the river Vistula and the river War
the. II seems apparent, also, that
they have suffered no vital reverse.
The German victory at Kutno served
to stagger the Russian force striking
toward Posen, but the force was not
broken up and seems to have rallied
with fresh troops to fill gaps. All the
news seems to show that the Russians
are moving much more slowly in this
region than In any other part Of the
battle front, and are still far from the
German frontier.
To the north the situation is much
more favorable to the Russian arms
The advance from two directions to-
ward the Dantzig-Thorn inner defense
line in East Prussia has been pressed
determinedly in the face of fierce re-
sistance. The northern column, NOV
ing westward from Wirballen, has
reached Gumbinnen, twenty-five miles
from the frontier and on the only rail-
road line connecting with Insterburg
and Konigsberg The southern col
umn is operating around Soldau,

war in the east Is now raging.
A dispatch received by the Havas
agency says: "a terrific battle of un-
exampled violence has been proceed
ing for four days around Soldau. The
cannonading has been maintained day
nd night. The Russians are endeav-
oring at any cost to avenge the for
mer check at Soldau and are throwing
themselves at the Germans with inde-
scribable fury. The Germans are Of
fering most energetic resistance
and their fighting is alternately defen-
sive and offensive. In spite of the
torrential rains which have turned
the ground into a quagmire, the Rus
slams are advancing toward the in
terror Of Germany"
Farther to the south the Russian
advance Is very near the German bor-
der and the Germans are making a
strong stand in the region of Kaliscz.

has made progress, according to Rus
sian claims
