preparedness and that the hyphenates
need expect no quarter from him. It
criticised the Wilson administration In
emphatic terms and gave Endorsement
to some of the measures which the
progressiyes have advocated most Wig

was in response to telegram from the
the progressives had Endorsed him.
Il welcome the support Of progress
sives." Mr.. Hughes message read. I'VE
make common cause in the interest of
national honor, of national security, of
national efficiency. We unite in the de-
mand for an undivided and unwavering
! loyalty to our country. for whole
hearted patriotic devotion overriding
all racial differences. We want re-
vival of the American spirit-a nation
restored. We insist upon prompt and
adequate provision for the common de-
tense: upon the steadfast maintenance
of all the rights of our citizens and
upon the integrity Of national law.
Administration at Fault.
| THE most serious difficulties the
present administration has encountered

that by prompt and decisive action.
which existing conditions manifestly
lcaiied for. the Lusitania tragedy would
have been prevented. We strosgly de-
nounce the use Of our soil as a base
for alien intrigues. for conspiracies and

terest Of any foreign nation. but the
responsibility lies at the door of the adj
ministration. The moment notice Is add

I administration took proper measures to
stop 1t. That responsibility the admin
istration cannot eyade by condemning
others.
THE government has and must have
most emphatically the unstinted and
patriotic support of every citizen in the
existing exigency. But unquestioning.
loyal and patriotic support of the gov

fatuous course which the administers
ton has followed. is quite another.
mo intelligent man is deceived by
the temporary prosperity due to abnor-
mai conditions and no one can fail to
appreciate the gravity OF the problems
/ with which we shall be faced when the
war ends.
I ITO what agency shall we look for

which our security and prosperity must
depend? 1t is vain to expect 1t from

gressives have insisted on a RESPONSE

in that demand.
1T is within the party that the lib

widest and most effective influence. I
solicit your earnest effort for the COM
