Of the various elements of the Republican

was plea for progressive support. The
President said in part:
We are at a critical juncture in the
AFFAIRS OF the world, and the affairs OF
the world touch America very closely.
She should not stand apart. And in the
midst Of this situation, we are about to
determine whether We shall change the
lines Of our national policy.
Fortunately, the lines of this cam
paign have recently been becoming very
clear indeed. The choice is a very definite
one which does not require any subtle
analysis for its determination. On the
one hand there is a party which Is
united, made up of congenial elements,
and which has determined its direction
by Its performances and not by its prom
ises. You know what the Democratic
party has accomplished. You know that
1t neither can turn back nor desires to
turn back.
On the other hand, what have we?
It baffles description. Men Of every sort
and variety of purpose, I will not say
united, but associated. for an unavowed
object; more interesting than that, and
more ominous than that, shot through
with every form of bitterness, every ugly
form of hate, every debased purpose of
revenge, and every covert desire to re-
cover secret power"
