Republican Congressional

Democratic Leaders on I'm
portant Public Issues.
From a stnn correspnrdort.

WASHINGTON, Oct 2l-"Pltiless Pub
licity," which at the beginning of the
Administration it was announced would
be President Wilson's watchword, has,
according to the Republican National
Congressional Committee. given way to
secret conferences at the White House
and secret caucuses at the Capitol
Cabinet officers are charged by the Re-
publican leaders with adopting star
chamber methods" and drawing the
blinds on business about which the people
have a right to know"
In a little pamphlet just issued by
Chairman Wood, of the Republican Con-
gressional Committee, Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo comes in for much criti-
cism. The booklet is entitled "Pitiless
Publicity VS.. Sinister Secretlveness"
Even the fighting monarehes of Eu-
rope" the pamphlet reads, ARE more
frank with their subjects than the Demo-
cratic Administration has chosen TO be
with the American people. Notable proof
of this is that even in that delicate and
tense period that preceded the European
war. when the whole diplomatic situa-
tion was pregnant with dire possibilities
England printed her White Papers in
hich all the diplomatic correspondence
leading up to the declaration of war was
made puDllc.
Germany published her White Pa

fdence But in our own free Republic.

ing our people Just as closely, the Ad-
has dealt in the dark and
has refused to take the American people
into it's confidence"
Commenting on the manner in which
the Underwood- Simmons tarifr was en-
acted into law, the pamphlet contains this
Behind closed doors, and with report
ers carefully excluded, the Democrats
talked about the bill. and then passed a
rule forcing their membership to sup
port il without even the privilege Of
offering an amendment on the floor. The
debate on the floor OF the House was most
perfunCtory. And not line was changed

Something like this: so that's how

Hasn't he got the nerve?' was asked
This stung the Ware leader, loyal to
the last ditch.
Now. don't be too sure about that"
was the reply. How about the last day
Or two? You can't tell what they'll do.
How about orders the last day? Quiet
orders no one would hear?"
QUIET ORDERS IF ANY.
They will be quiet orders If any come.
But orders are unnecessary where there
is a chance for reprisal 1t would need
orders to vote for Penrose. those who
know the temper OF the Ware men say.
There is much quiet talk about beating
Penrose. His new opponents are holding
small meetings in their homes and the
word is going around for the knife
"All the noise is coming from Penrose
men, one leader explained YOU won't
hear them talking about a revolt We
Hren't talking, but they'll hear from us
on election day."
If the Ware vote is thrown against Pen
rose he will be beaten. This is the definite
statement even Of Penrose supporters.

PINCH0T SAYS CHARGE

Washington Party Nominee Declares
&c.. Senator's Answer Lame.

Clifford Pinchot Washington party
nominee for United states Senator, de-
clared today that the North American $
charge against Senator Tenrose was the
finishing blow to his opponent
He discussed the subject az the Hotel
Adelphia, where he is stopping during his
campaign in this city.
You ask me whether I believe the
North Americans statement will affect
MIR Penroses chances he said of
course 1t will. The lame reply made by
Mr. Penrose is his refusal to accept the
issue. He leaves the North Americans s
statement substantially unanswered. and
uses the customary device Of the man in
the wrong-the device Of asking lot Of
questions which have no reference TO the
point at issue
Not only the statement OF The North
American, but almost equally the PEN
rose reply, will be influential in costing
aPenrose votes. This is by far the hard
est blow that has been struck at him
rose cause We're not already lost this
would cost him the election
Are you going to withdraw" Mr..
Pinchot was asked
you know very well what my answer
would be to that, ne replied
>. Don't YOU think that with only two
candidates in the field the chances Of
defeating Mr.. Penrose would be much
better"
) THAT would he true under ctrtain con-
ditlons.' said Mr.. Pinchot. IF the two
men in the field were Palmer and Pen
rose the result would be the ovorvheln-
ing election of Mr.. Penrose II the two
men in the field were Penrose and Pin
chot the result would be the overwhelm-
ing election of P!nchot, who as matter
of fact, will be elected even with three
in the field"
Mr.. Pinchot said that he never felt
better in his life
