SHORT OF AMMUNITION

G. o. P. Has No Material for Cam
paign Text Book-Futile to Criticise
Wilson Administration Party in Sorry
Plight.
Washington, D. c., Oct. 27.-Demo-
Gratis were amused at the report circu-
lated today that the Republican Con-
gressional Campaign Committee will not
issue text book this year because of
the failure of the committee to agree on
the line of attack.
The split occurred, it is stated, when
one element sought to assail the Under
wood Simmons tariff law and the bank
ing and currency act. Several members
of the Republican organization voted for
these two measures, as did many other
Republicans, and they refused to con-
denim laws which they had approved.
Republicans secretly admit that they
have absolutely no basis for criticising
the Wilson Administration or the record
of the Democrats in Congress, and least
of all the tariff and currency laws. both
of which have been commended to the
country.
Until the European war drove them
off the front pages of even stand-pat
Republican organs, small coterie of
Republicans in the House and Senate
crowded the Congressional Record with
panic" speeches, plainly intended for
use in their text books.
But the hoped-for panic did not ma
terialize and the minority has been at a
loss for campaign ammunition. Oppo-
sition to the war revenue measure is
now being used as eleventh-hour talk
ing point
'The country is with Wilson and any
attempt to criticize him or his record
would only make us ridiculous, said one
republican today. "Unless the Demo-
Gratis are apathetic in November or re-
main away from the polls because of
overconfidence, can see only a repeti-
ton of the results of two years ago.
1--WE can not attack the currency law,
for its worth has been proved within the
last few weeks. 1t would be foolhardy
to attempt to convince the people that
they should return to the Payne Aldrich
tariff classifcations. They would laugh
at u.s."
In the meantime the Democratic Con-
gressional Campaign Committee is keep
ing force of committee employees busy
filling orders for the Democratic text
book, containing the unassailable record
of achievements of the Wilson admins
