1--WE demand the most vigorous pro-
secution of the war and peace with
victory. A Republican congress means
war congress. and we pledge our
candidates to be men who are SUI
premely pro-Ameriean. who will give
the country's all to the winning of the
war now, and who will stand irrevoc-
ably against any peace based on
compromise of principles which would
violate American rights, interests and
honor, and make of our sacrifices
sacrilege to be made again by our
grandchildren. hope and trust the
Democratic party will work by the
same token"
Recognizing as we all do that there
will always be politics. am pleased
to advise you what | said to these Re-
publican State Chairmen, because in
sist that our politics be open and
acknowledged and on a plane and of a
character that needs no subterfuge,
and that there be no political PARTISAN
ship in anything that touches the war.
Further, now take the opportunity
to appeal to you directly and to the
Democratic organization, as long ago
did in my reply to Colonel George Har-
vey's letter, to join with us in this eff
fort to keep partisanship out of the
war and the war out of partisan poll
tics. This is no time for little things.
The world is on fire. Our duty to our
soldiers, measured by their marvellous
Accomplishments and their supreme
service, the magnitude of the task
ahead for us all, and the inealculable
consequence of the result, all cry out
for the fullest cooperation. Let not
political parties spend their time ac-
both are loyal. | urge that there be
no accusation of disloyalty from either
one side or the other in this campaign.
Such accusation will give a totally
false impression to the enemy, and the
party or the committee making such
accusation will be guilty in that very
act of the worst kind of disloyalty.
We have heavy load to haul. Let
US, as far as possible, hitch up both
our political horses and have them
both used, unhampered, freely to pull
this load each striving to see which
can pull the harder.
Sincerely yours,
WILL II. HAYS"

WON'T TRY 1T AGAIN
Tumulty Tries to Take Fall Out of
Chairman Hays and Wishes He
Had Kept Still.

New York, Sept. 12-That Chair
man Will H. Hays, of the Republican
National Committee, means what he
says when he says the Republican
party is not INDUCING in any back
stairs" politics to win the coming con-
gressional elections, but is conducting
a campaign that is free from subter-
fuge is evidenced by letter he today
sent Joseph p. Tumulty, Secretary to
President Wilson.
The letter was written in reply to
a telegram Secretary Tumulty sent on
September IL to Chairman Hays at
his indianapolis address. 1t was an in
quiry regarding the veracity of a
newspaper report of remarks Chair
man Hays was alleged to have made
at n conference of Republican state
ehairmen held in Chicago on Labor
Day. Immediately upon sending the
telegram Secretary Tumulty gave it
to the newspapers, before Mr.. Hays
had received it.
At that time Chairman Hays was in
Washington, at a hotel within a few
blocks of the White House. He was
first apprised of Secretary Tumutly's
telegram by reading of it in the Wash
ington newspapers. Without waiting
for the telegram to be relayed from
indianapolis to him, he called up Sec
rotary Tumulty and asked that copy
of the telegram be sent to him in
Washington. Upon receipt of the
copy Chairman Hays issued the follow
ing reply:
washington, d. c., September u,
1918.
Hon. Joseph p. Tumulty,
White House,
Washington, d. c.
Dear Mr.. Tumulty:
have your telegram. On Septem-
Der 2nd,> in Chicago, | attended a
meeting of the Association of Repub-
lican State Chairmen called by its
president and attended by fifteen of
such chairmen. At that meeting !
made remarks referring in general
way to the length to which Democratic
leaders are going in their efforts to
control the Senate and House; and also
as to the irrevocable stand of the Re-
publican party for a vigorous prose-
cution of the war and against an in
conclusive peace.
| did not use the words quoted in
your telegram. What l said then
which now reaffirm and which shall
continue to declare, was substantial!

Don't Forget Your
w. s. S. Pledge

First, as to the means resorted to
be certain Democratic leaders to get
votes, | said:
'Tn the special election in Wiscon-
sin, the Democratic machine leaders
published advertisements, undenied
since by them, addressed to the SOL
diers at Camp Grant, as follows:
To the Wisconsin soldiers at
Camp Grant: Tuesday, April sec
ond, you are entitled to vote for
United States Senator from Wiscon-
sin to succeed Senator Paul o. Hust-
ing. President Wilson, your COM
mander-in-C Chief, desires all loyal
Americans to vote for Joseph +.
Davies for United States Senator.
Davies election means joy at Wash
ington and gloom in Berlin. Davies
defeat means gloom at Washington
and joy at Berlin
81 regard this as an infamous pro-
stitution of all patriotic prophecies and
the grossest violation of the plainest
civil duty, worthy of the severest con-
demnation of all Americans. In this
crisis, when all patriots are striving to
bring to the aid of the country's cause
every resource in men and material,
when thousands of Republicans and
Democratic boys are dying, side by
side, when both political parties are
loyal, such conduct is UNNECESSARILY
reprehensible. From such action it
is evident, and | regret to say it, that
these Democratic leaders will go to
any length to carry the Senate and
House. Such unpatriotic efforts to use
the war for partisan purposes must
fail. Such inevitable failure was in
Dictated by the Wisconsin result, it was
further shown in the Michigan pri-
mary, and it will be conelusively prov
en- in the Maine election next week.
The American people will not tolerate
it. This is the war of no political
party. This is the peoples war, and
we demand that the war be kept out
of partisan politics and that partisan
ship be kept out of the war. And VIA:
we ask for the party in power we ire
vocably pledge for ourselves"
Second, as to the imperative nece.'-
sity of vigorous prosecution of the
war and a conclusive peace only, and
the need of a Republican congress to
that end, and in connection with a
discussion of the candidacy OF Mr..
Ford in the Republican primary in
Michigan and his statement as to why
he became Il candidate, and while re-
viewing the service Republicans in

measures which were opposed by the
Democratic leaders, Chairman Dent of

Leader Kitchin, chairman of the ways

THE ending of this war will not
come when a line is broken. 1t can
not come until a peoples heart is
broken. and those who have seen into
the hearts of the French, English and

will understand that Germany can
