efforts Of our peace comnlSsIon to secure the fruits of the war. Such refusal may not inconcelVably bring about a rupture of the peace negotia- lions. It will give heart to our de feated antagonists; it will make pOsS'i- ble the interference of those doubtful neutral nations, who in this struggle. have wished us ill.' .
 'So, as the failure of voters to sup port the republican party in 1898 would have been in the eyes of for eign nations a failure to support the president and what he did in the Spanish-A American War. how would other countries interpret the defeat of the democratic party this fall? We fathers and mothers of the boys over there cannot afford to see Woodrow Wilson's party defeated at the next election"
 War was the leading topic for all the speakers. who included Nice-President Marshall and Scott Ferris, chairman of the democratic congressional cam paign committee.
 Marshall Ridicules Roosevelt
 Vice President Marshall put the del- cgates in a happy frame of mind by his reference tu Will Fl. Mays, chair man of the republican national com mittCe as this young IOchinNar, who "ambled out of the West upon the G. Q.

 tS, year in Indiana. but politics this year must be patriotic as we'll as partisan in character. It must be the kind of politics which whole heartedly gets be- hind that colossal figure of the stormy hours, the man whom Providence has set upon the mountain peak of duty, desire and endeavor, with whom we can win, without whom the worlds hope must perish-Woodrow Wilson, Captain General of the armies of free dom, Admiral of the seven seas. It will not do to keep our promise to his ear and break it to his hope.

 'Just think what the republican party means by saying that it's purpose is to win the war new, most of us do not understand. What the democratic party stands for is to win the war as soon as it can be won, and it holds that to the speedily winning of it are these essentials. Conviction of the justice of the cause in which we are engaged; a, fixed and definite end to be attained; the whole hearted, disinterested, poli- tical and patriotic sacrifice of personal ambition, party preferment and indi- Vidual success to the object attained
