AGGRESSIVE LEADERSHIP NEEDED

The Republican party and the country large need of
of leadership displayed by Congressman Irvine H. Len
his expressed desire for Republican effort to organize the
of Representatives. From every possible viewponubc
welfare fidelity truly representative government loyalty to
pary-he Republicans in the House should make every legitimate
effort to organize that body.
The history of the Republican party demonstrates its superiority
in principles in legislation and in administration Hence the public
welfare will be best subrved if Republicans control of the
Committees of the House and control of the of egsa
ton In the four years of its administration the Democratic party
has been extravagant Inefficient incompetent and untrue to It's
important pledges There reason therefore, from the view
point of general welfare why Republicans Congress should
quesce in Democratic control of the House of Representatives
The Democratic party into power four through
division in Republican ranks and retained whatever power it
through Misrepresentation the campaign of 1916 and
through Acknowledgement of violation of the spirit of
American government.
Moreover analysis of the Congressional in 1916 shows
decided plurality in favor of Republican candidates Computing the
aggregate Of for all successful candidates find that Re-
pubcans lected received SSH 29 votes while Democrats elected
received only 7 showing 145 1858 votes for Repub
elected than for Democrats Making the computation upon the
basis Of all candidates running find that the total Republican
Congressional vote 7S7469 while the total for Demo
cratic Congressional candidates 7532S6 showing Repub
plurality of 1249S and this spite of the fact that South
States there frequently Republican candidates If pop
uar had prevailed in the United States in 1916
Republican party would have decided majority the House
Representatives today.
With general welfare and maintenance of truly representative
government the side of the Republicans needless to make
and partisan plea for Republican solidarity effort organize
the House of Representatives But the Republicans
the popular minority instead of the majority would still be
duty true loyalty the principles for which they stand
the voters whom they represent their the ogan
ton of the House accordance with Instructions received the
rank and file of the party to which they profess obelong
No Member of Congress chosen Republican represent
Republican voters and Republican principles has right abandon

REVOLUTION In SPAIN CHECKED


Madrid, Undated, by way Of the
Spanish Frontier, via Paris, April Q,
3 p. m.-Strong measures adopted by
the Spanish government have check
ed widespread agitation which as
sumed q distinct revolutionary aspect,
although Premier Romanones in a
formal statement declares the gov
eminent refuses to treat the move
ment as revolutionary.
The troubles of the past week were
based on manifesto signed by
twenty-six heads of labor organiza-
tons in all parts Of the country re-
citing the grievances of the workmen,
attacking the present form Of gov
eminent and announcing that a gen
eral strike would be inaugurated.
The demands for a change in the
form Of government was regarded as
moic ociiouo Iudh luc IuLcdL VI
strike, owing to the unrest that fol-
lowed the upheaval in Russia, and
the government decided upon drastic
measures.
Sixteen Of the leaders who signed
the manifesto were arrested charged
with seditious utterances, the labor
exchanges in Madrid and the prov
inces were closed and royal decree
was issued placing the country vir-
tually under martial law by the sus-
pension Of the constitutional guar
antees for free speech, speedy trial,
etc. A rigid censorship also was in
augurated, preventing mention of the
manifesto or reference to the char
acter of the movement.
At the outset there was much ap-
prehension of eventualities but it is
now believed the summary action of
the government has postponed devel-
opment OF the movement, If it has not
entirely broken it with us. Only a few
scattered movements among the work.
men themselves are in evidence, max
ing it plain that there is no organiza-
ton capable Of coping with the strong
military and police forces under gov
eminent control.
Troops have been moved to Bar
celona and the northern mining Sec
ton where large labor element ex-
lists but the only serious disorder re-
ported was at Valadolid, where a
clash between workmen and gend-
armes led to the injury of three
guardsmen.
The capital remained calm but ex-
pectant apparently being thought
that the events il Russia Russia might lead
TO something similar here. There is
no doubt that the Russian move
ment and the Republican regime in
nearby Portugal has stirred feeling
in Spain along similar lines. 1t is
also asserted that German influence
figured in stirring up discord so as
TO keep Spain fully occupied with
home affairs. The manifesto which
preciptated the troubles was the
Gutgrowth of the high price and
scarcity of food and coal, the sus-
pension Of exports in SPANS wine
and olives oil trade because of the
blockade and the general derange-
ment of labor and industry as the
result Of the war.
King Alfonso remained in the cap
ital throughout the agitation and Is
reported to have told his advisers
that there would be no repetition OF
the experience of his cousin Nicholas
in Russia, as he would 60 to the head
Of the troops IL necessity required
and share fate with them. This re-
port has had the effect of raising the
Kings prestige, making 1t appear
