IF THE G. 0. P. ELEPHANT
COULD SPEAK THE TRUTH
VOTERS of the U. S. A.

VOTERS of the U. S. A
We, the Republican party, being ut
our wits end and desperate, put it
up to you:
For nearly four years now Demo
cratic Administration has been in
power. Contrary to every law of
reason, every principle Of progress,
the country is at peace and alive,
nay, humming with prosperity. Busi-
ness Is rushing. Wages are high. The
only discomfort is the discomfort of
those who are reaching for bigger
chunks of plenty.
We are tiabbergasted. All this has
happened during a period when the
rest Of the world has been agog, when
international crises We're impending
on all sides, when we would have
sworn only Republican statesmanship
could pull the nation through
No war has engulfed u.s. No panic
has paralyzed us. No nation has
with impunity continued to infringe
upon our rights.
We can't deny what has been done
All we can do is take our oath we
could have done it better How, we
do not know. If only we said it loud
and long enough we hoped the coun-
try would believe us.
But the country is busy and our
voices grow hoarse. We are having a
hard time.
Woodrow Wilson has nothing to
show but what he has accomplished.
He has none of the glamour Of the
what-might-be. We, on the contrary,
have our old promises and policies,
mellowed by age, but still bearing
the stamp of the nations solid inter-
ests. Protection, privilege, govern
ment by intluence-surely the country
has not given them their last trial.
Wall street Is with us. Big bust
ness is with us. But O, Voters, we
confess it, we need you. Don't keep
looking at the peace and prosperity
around you. Try to get our point of
view. Whatever Wilson has done, the
man is Democrat, and neither Fed
eral Government nor Federal offices
were meant to be forever In such
hands.
Let's forget issues and talk as
friends. Turn him out and give US
chance!

PRAISES WILSON'S STAND
IN BEHALF OF SUFFRAGE

The action of the National
Suffrage Association at Atlantic
City, N. j., in rejecting by an
overwhelming vote the proposal
to make the suffrage movement
partisan annex of the RepubI,-
can campaign, was further EN-
phnslZed by DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, "the sage of suffrage" in
an interview published in the
Philadelphia Press, staunch
Republican organ.
"The President, in his speech
to the convention, promised all
he could carry out" said DR..
Shaw. "If he had promised
more we would have known that
he could not carry it out.
Not the Republicans alone,
nor the Democrats alone, can
bring suffrage. If it could be
done that way 1 would favor 1t.
But 1t can't. We must get
enough Democrats and Republi-
cans together to do it."

GREAT THRONGS GREET WILSON
Milwaukee and Chicago Hear :. Defense Talks.
ALL UNITED FOR AMERICA

Chief Executive Renews Pledge to Maintain the Honor of the Country. Trouble Makers Have Shot Their Bolt, He DecIares-Crowds Unable to Enter Halls.
 Tremendous crowds continued to greet President Wilson during his wis its to Chicago and Milwaukee ill his preparedness campaign. At MllWau; kee 5000 persons were unable to hear the chief executive talk.
 Expressing and plainly showing his emotion at the remarkable ovation ac- corded him, the president said i'll part: 'I need not inquire as to whether you are interested ill this great ques- tion,' he began. This great crowd teStifies to that.
 'I want at the outset to remove any misapprehension. Nothing new has happened. There is no crisis. l have come out upon this errand because everywhere the atmosphere of the world is thrilling with the passion of a disturbance such as the world has never seen before. And we should set our house in order.
 At the outset of this war it did look as if there was a division of domestic feeling that might lead us to errors l for one believe that danger is passed. 'It is not the men who are doing the talking always who represent the sen timent of the nation. l have learned ehat. Therefore have at no time sup posed that these men were really ut fering sentiments of those they pre- tended to represent. l know the i'm pulses which have drawn men to our shores. They have not come without voluntary desire to join themselves with this nation.
 All For America.
 When the test comes every man heart will be first for America. They will not allow America to suffer through their forgetfulness.
 "The trouble makers have shot their bolt.
 Some of the trouble makers have been vociferous. All of them have been irresponsible. Talk was cheap. and they did not have to do anything. But there are other dangers which are not passed-dangers which we cannot control. We can control irresponsible talkers among us.''
 The president then reiterated his statements at Pittsburgh and Cleye land when he said that the people were depending upon him to keep them out Of the war.
 And pledge you, God helping" h( added, 'I will continue to do so.
 "But you have asked me to maintain the honor of the country.
 And there may come time when cannot do both. Therefore you mus stand ready to do what is necessary t. project the honor of the United States
