HUGHES SAYS WILSON
NEEDS BOTH PARTIES
Demands That Republicans Be Given

Be Misunderstood Abroad.

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Calling for ma
tlonal unity after the methods of re-
public and not an autocracy, and de-
plorIng President Wilson's assumption
that only the return of a Democratic ma
ierity would uphold his national leader
ship, Charles t. Hughes declared in an
address here last night that bipartisan
support alone would save the President
from the lesser dignity and influence Of
mere party leadership"
Speaking at rally at the Union League
club, attended by Gov Whitman and 9th
er candidates on the Republican state
ticket, Mr. Hughes declared that no po-
lltical party was paramount in patriotism,
and that Republicans had a right to ex-
Iress their political preferences" Continu-
ing, he said:
Must we Republican, periodically
toll and give without seeking a voice in
the National Assembly. yielding our rep
resentation to Democrats, not as more
| worthy or more loyal, not as more sac
rificing or more intelligent, but to Dem
| ocFats as such. simply because they are
! Democrats
| After declaring that the issue was
transcendent, Mr. Hughes emphasized
| the need for complete victory III the war,
| the crushing of arbitrary and tyrdnnical
military power and the dawn of the new
era Of peace and Justice.
Did | not think that the Republican
party would, through its representatives
aid in the efficient conduct of this war
and in the settlement Of righteous peace

can party is an important and necessary
agency in the winning of this war and

leaders are intent on complete victory

We shall support the President, not a
the President Of half Of the nation, but a

acts according to the genius Of our IN
