THE ISSUE IS AMERlcANISM.
An FL. Wilson Democrat Prepares

To u EpiroR OF THE SUN-Str. De-
spite the partisan politics OF the days
news. the determining thought OF the
people with respect to the coming Presi-
dental campaign is not partisan. a
national crisis confronts us. Our atti-
tude toward the world war and our "
future far transcends party politics.
Some way must be opened for the man
who will meet the crisis and save the
country, its honor and its future.
II makes no difference whether he be
Democrat OF Republican. Presumably
he must be elected on the Republican
ticket. lie would perhaps be more GER
tain OF election II he could he a Demo-
crst on the Republican ticket. But

able TO appeal to the fundamental Ameri-
can ideals. lie must first OF all be one

promise OF that honor. present to the ma.
tons of the world the American nation
to which II was accustomed before
March 4. 1913. But he must DO more.
He must he able to preserve that honor

day In public life to he mentioned as

We care not for his politics. And no
Republican leader worthy of he name
should consider his own or any mans
politics In seeking the man TO meet the
Issue involved IN the next election.
The voters certainly will not consider

What they desire IL a man who pre-
