 Considering everything, Senator Stone asserted that the achievements of this congress and the administration "signalized degree of marked success without parallel in the worlds his- tory"
 Undue publicity given present mis- takes, he said, had advertised the na- tion's weakness to the enemy
 "The time for Haunting them is past" he continued. This is the time for universal national sympathy and solidarity. My appeal now is to my colleagues on this side to stand firmly against influences calculated to mis- lead us, and I appeal to my colleagues on the other side of this chamber to thrust back the evident rising tide of partisanship."
 The Republican leaders purpose, he reiterated, is to elect a congress out of harmony with the President.
 What would happen to the Wilson administration if the F Republican party should have control of the next con- gress?" he asked. If were to adopt the use of Billy Sunday classics, the President would have hell of time"
 In concluding the Missouri senator presented statistics of what he termed were partisan appointments of state war committees. In New York, he

ible for what he denounces. He does his work cunningly. In the front of his propaganda he throws a deceptive political camouflage. I charge that Theodore Roosevelt is the most po- tent agent of the kaiser in America. I cannot escape the belief that this exceptional colonel, who has played so many games of questionable poli- tics, is now playing another game of his particular brand for a very great stake"
 The Republican plans he cited, Sen ator Stone said, have been adroitly directed"
 Many if not all, Republican sena. tors," he asserted, "are acting in mani fest concert with dominant Republi- can leaders throughout the country to make politics out of the war"
 AS proof of Republican partisan plans, Senator Stone, declared that there was no need ito try to fool each other, or to fool the country" and de- clared that congressional investiga- tions of the war proposed by the Re publicans were significant.
 Calling attention to the elections next fall of the entire house member ship and many senators, MT. Stone said two years later the presidential election would follow.
 Here is the chance" he proceeded, flor the dominating Republicans of the country, some of them, perhaps, more than one of them, seeking to promote his immediate personal glorification, and others, acting on a larger scale, to promote a party advantage, to strike hard to turn down this administration and take gov ernment into their own hands. That fight is on. It is being played before our very eyes.
 There are various elements of dis. content in the country. Their poten- tiality as political equations Is recog- nized by all. The natural disposition of these discontented clements will be to strike blindly at the party in power. Therefore, in way, the Republicans
