ALLUDES TO CRY
or SECTION ALISM
Wilson DGnUlHCGS Those Who
Would Revive the Issue.
He SPEAKS AT INDIANAPOLIS

Addresses Meetings of Good RoaJs
Advocates and Farmers and Attends
Nonpartisan Luncheon of Leading
Hoosiers--Good Done BY Highways
In Preventing Sect ,Ism One OF
the Presidents Themes.
Indianapolis, Oct 49, Replying to
che Republican charge that the Dem
ocratic party is a sectional party, Pres
ident Wilson declared here that any
man who revives the issue of section
alism in this country is unworthy Of
the confidence of the nation
The president came to Indianapolis
TO address meetings of good roads ad-
vocates and farmers. to review an au-
tomobile parade celebrating good
roads day of the Indiana centennial
and to attend nonpartisan lunch of
leading Indiantans. In his first set
speech he spoke of the good done by
highways in preventing sectionalism.
"My fellow citizens" he continued
Il need not tell you that / did not
come here to talk politics, but there
is one thing that is pertinent In this
connection which / can not deny my.
self the privilege Of saying. Any man
who revives the issue OF sectionalism
in this country is unworthy of the con-
fidence of the nation.
"He shows himself a provincial; he
shows that he himself does not know
the various sections of his own coun-
try; he shows that he has shut his
own heart up in little province and
that those who do not seek the special
interests of that province are to him
sectional, while he alone is national.
That is the depth OF anti-patrfotie
feeling"
At both meetings the presidents ad-
dresses were interrupted frequently
by applause and hand-clapping mark
cd his progress through the streets.
The second set speech was devoted to
q discussion Of the work Of the Demo-
cratic administration for the farmers
of the nation.
Referring TO industrial problems the
president said: Nothing can be for
the interest of capital that is not In
the interest of labor, and nothing can
be IN the interest of labor which Is
not in the interest OF capital II men
want to get rich they must have hu
man relationships with those who
help them to get rich. That is les.

ed and that they may see that the fu-
ture of this country lies in their CO
operation, open. candid, cordial. and
not In their antagonisml and that Il
they will once get together and plan
in the same spirit the same things, the
industry of America will go forward
by leaps and bounds such as we nave
never yet conceived
"The thing that | am Tuore inter
ested in than anything else In these
days is the forces that make for draw
ing America together into a great
spiritual unit. Just as soon as this
great European war is over, America
has got to stand for this one thing,
and only one thing In the world, aud
she must be ready with united force.
We can't play with the elements Ut
our life any more"

There are duties of citizenship that
cannot be evaded with honor. One
of these duties is to see that the ju-
dietary is maintained on high stan
dard. If for any reason that standard
be lowered, the citizen, to fulfill the
obligations Of citizenship, must seek
to restore It, If, on the other hand,
the standard is established, plain
duty requires activity that it be main
tanned. The last sentence applies to
the present Ohio supreme court. Its
standard has been raised. Men like
James G.. Johnson and Maurice II.
Donahue helped to do it. No voter
can in good conscience neglect this
plain fact in his voting booth a few
days hence. A determined and be-
times secret canvass is being waged
against them on behalf OF a known
opponent of workmen's compensation
and other progressive reforms and on
behalf Of man without visible quail
iiications for the place. Tell your
neighbor. Let us all vote for John
son and Donahue and keep the court
clean.

 The resolution is as follows:

 Whereas, the people of the Salt River Valley have expended upward of $6oo,- 600 to construct and maintain said icad; and

 A number of people about PhoelllS and the valley. not in close touch with the situation have been complaining that DO action was being taken in re- Gard to repairing the road This has been an error on their part. As soon as the chamber of commerce was in formad by The Republican that the Reclamation Service could not find funds to repair the roads, action was taken.
 Secretary Welch wired the delega ton at Washington, the telegram being signed by the chamber of commerce, the merchants and manufacturers as sociation, the governor. the mayor and the city commission.
 Since that time. he has carried on a voluminous correspondence with tEe delegates to Washington. Letters which he has received from Washing ton have held out high hopes for the ultimate success of the project.
