WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN
PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
BEFORE PEACE.

The supporters of Mr.. Wilson
say that the American people
should vote for him because he
has kept us out of war. 1t is
worth while to remember that
this is a claim that cannot be adj
yanced either on behalf of Wash
ington or of Lincoln. Neither
Washington nor Lincoln kept us
out of war. Americans, and the
people of the world at large, now
reverence the memories of these
two men, because, and only be-
cause, they put righteousness be-
fore peace. They abhorred war.
They stunned unjust or wanton
or reckless war But they pos
sessed that stern valor of patrio-
tism which babe them put duty
first; not safety first; which
babe them accept war rather
than an unrighteous and disas-
trous peace. There were peace
at-any-price men in the days of
Washington. They were the
Tories. There were peace-at-
any-price men in the days of
Lincoln. They were the Copper
heads. The men who now with
timid hearts and quavering
voices praise Mr.. Wilson for
having kept us out of war, are
the spiritual heirs of the Tories
of 1776, and the Copperheads of
1864. The men who followed
Washington at Trenton and
Yorktown, and who suffered
with him through the winter at
Valley Forge; and the lei who
wore the Blue under Grant, and
the Gray under Lee; were men
of valor, who sacrificed every
thing to serve the right as 1t
was given them to see the right.
They spurned with contempt
uous indignatio the counsels
of the feeble an cowardly folk
who In their day spoke for
peace-at-any-price. - From the

Battle Greek, Michigan, in Be
half of Mr.. Hughes.

G.O.P.LAUNCHES'
STATE CAMPAIGN
Headquarters Formally
Opened In Newark.
BUGBEE WILL BE IN CHARGE

State Chairman Says That Republican
Prospects Are Rosy, but That There
Will Be No Loafine on the Job.
Edge and Frelinghuysen Attend Con-
ferences.
Newark, Oct. 10.-In accordance with
the custom of past years, Republican
State Headquarters were opened today
in Newark, In a roomy suite of office
In the Essex Building. The headquar-
tiers Is to be in charge of Newton A. X.
Bugbee, Chairman of the Republican
State Committee, who will have gen
eral supervision of the campaign in
New Jersey. An assistant to Mr.. Bug
bee will be appointed in a day or two,
to represent him in his absence.
During the entire day the offices
were thronged with candidates, politi-
cal leaders and campaign workers, and
a general feeling of optimism was in
the air. Among those who took active
part in the numerous conferences that
were held were Mr.. Bugbee, Former
State Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen,
candidate for United States Senator,
and Senator Walter e. Edge, candidate
for Governor. Herbert w. Taylor,
Chairman of the Essex County Repub-
lican Committee, stepped in during the
day and greeted the two candidates
warmly, assuring them of the loyal
support of Essex at the polls IN No
vember Z.
Much of the departmental work of
the campaign has been taken up under
Mr.. Bugbee's supervision prior to the
opening of the headquarters, including
that of the speakers bureau, which Is
in charge of Marvin Reilly, secretary
of the State Campaign Committee. Mr..
Reilly has obtained from National
Headquarters a list of speakers of
countrywide reputation and Is rapidly
arranging important meetings for va
rious parts of the State. 1t Is recog-
nized that New Jersey will be a crucial
State in the national campaign this
year, and preparations are being made
accordingly.
"While we are confident that New
Jersey will swing into the Republican
column In this year of 1916" said Mr..
Bugbee, land that all the principal Re-
publican candidates will be elected by
large pluralities, we are not going to
take anything for granted. Ante
primary differences have been buried.
and behind our candidates we will
have a united party, spurred to action
by the need of supporting the cause of
good government and inspired by the
hope of victory. l am much gratified
by the spirit displayed by u party
leaders and workers, and l am conf
dent that when the results are tailed
it will be a difficult thing to discover
that party apathy has figured In the
results"

The Wilson KEYNOTE.

In his kneeling to the demands of

sacred principle of arbitration on the
altar of peace-at-any-price, we see. in

WILSON FORMERLY ASSAIL-

The President Is now a can

of labor. Until he became a |
candidate for office, and as long I
as he was President of a Univer- I
sity, he, with entire safety, ig- /
nored or assailed the Labor
Unions, indeed, he was then
their bitter, ungenerous, and
often unjust critic. At the Peo-
pIe's Forum on February 25,
1905, he said: Labor Unions
drag the highest man to the level
of the lowest" In an address at
a dinner in the WaIdorf-Astoria
on March 18, 1907, in speaking of
the capitalists, he said: "There
is another equally formidable
enemy to equality and better
ment of opportunity, and that
is the class formed by the la
Dor organizations and leaders of
this country" In a letter writ
ten January IL, 1909, he said: 81
am a fierce partisan of the open
shop" In June of the same
year, speaking at Princeton, he
said: "The usual standard of
the empIoye in our day is to
give as little as he may for his
wages. Labor is standardized
by the trades unions and this
is the standard to which it is
made to conform. need not
point out how economically dis
astrous such a regulation of la.
Dor is. The labor of America
is rapidly becoming Improbable
under this regulation. Our eco
