are reported te have surrender

What short memories thes,
democratic editors have when
simply for campaign buucomb
they couisder it good policy to
forget some facts that stood out
very prominently in past yenr..
They are now throwing up
their hands in pretended hor-
ror at the thought that a repub
lican newspaper is found criti-
cisiDg the actions of the presi-
dent of the United States. They
would have the people forget
the fact that, for forty four out
of the last fifty six years. all Of
the campaign thunder Of the
democratic press consisted of
editorial criticism of republi.
can president and this in war
as we'll as in times of peace.
When did the democratic press
experiencey this wonderful
change of heart that now caus-
es it to publicly insist on a re :
spect and reverence for the Of
fee of president that. for near,
ly half q century. had neither
been recognized or practiced
by that party press.

~ out of sympathy for an Off

This will be no campaign of
sympathy. Every candidate
must stand on his record and
his known ability and qualiiica-
tions for the office. DThe best
interests OF the nation do not
call for the votes of the people
to cover up the mistakes Of any
public official.

The eastern suffragists are
making it decidedly warm for
President Wilson on the won

insist that he shall publicly go
on record as for or against the
woman suffrage measure now

are that they will continue TO
trouble him If he refuses to an.
