MARSHALL ON CITIZENS.

wINcHEsrER, KY, Sept. s.-Republi-
can criticism Of the Wilson Administra-
ton was reviewed by Vice-President Mar
shall in a speech here to-day. with the
conclusions that The main reason offered
the country for turning out the Demo-
Gratis was the desire of the Republicans
to get in and that Mr.. Hughes's cam
paisn speeches we're but echoes Of often
heard partisan orations In the Senate.
Mr.. Marshall said:
Just nov chief interest in the Re
publican candidate for President con-
sists in ascertaining whether he be-
longs to the progressive face or the
stand pat neck Of his party. The line
OF demarkation between the two wings
Of tho party Is clearly defined. but he
has not found his bearings.
For purely partisan purposes. the
Republican orators are proclaiming that
the President Is an infrm American. and
that A~mericanism and Republicanism
are synonymous. But the people at
large realize now. more than ever BE-
fore. that American citizenship IL made
UP Of only two grades Of citizens. Citi-
zen Of the first grade asks. What can
I dc for my country while citizen OF
the second grade asks. What can I get
my country to do for me?"
