REBuKE DICTATORSHIP AND rNEFFrcrENcy

Publicity Association and vcechairman OF the Repub-

dents appeal for the reelection Democrats as

easy victory in 1916, when running for
the lower house. although Mr.. Wilson
got the electoral vote. Roberts has
been a candidate for Congress many
times and has never yet lost an cleo
tion.
The Republicans are facing a stiff
hight in Rhode Island and in West Vir-
ginia. Peter Goelet Gerry. Democrat,
slipped into the Senate two years ago
In Rhode Island, in spite Of the fact
that the electoral vote went TO Hughes.
In West Virginia two years ago the
Republican electoral ticket won and a
Republican Senator was elected. Davis
Elkins, former Senator by appointment.
o son Of Senator Stephen B. Elkins and
grandson OF Senator Henry G. Davis,
Is the Republican candidate. He is a
major in the army on service in France.
In Kentucky Governor Stanley, the
Democratic nominee, has excited much
hostility by his veto OF an act passed
by the Legislature prohibiting the
teaching Of German in the schools. He
claims to have got the inspiration for
this veto from Philander B. Claxton,
the Federal Commissioner of Education.
Stanley will probably run behind the
normal Democratic vote. There is a
long chance that he will be defeated.
The Democrats elected Senator's two
years ago in New Mexico and Wyoming.
This year Senator's Fall and Warren are
candidates for reelection. Roth are
strong with their constituencies and
conditions within the Republican party
have greatly improved in these States
since 1916.
Balancing the close States, IL VIII be
seen that there is a natural trend to-
ward an enlargement Of the Republican
membership OF the Senate. II is that
trend which Mr.. Wilson and the Demo-
cratic managers are seeking to over
come with the no-leadership-but-mine
appeal TO the country. We certainly
shall not see an "all-Administration'
Senate next year. The prospects are
that that body will be considerably less
'all-Administretlon" then than 1t is
now.

THE NEXT SENATE
(From the New York Tribune.)

The Senate became Democratic In
1912. In that year Of schism the Pro-
gressive faction Of the Republican party
carried six States and the Republican
faction two States. In a three-cornered
fight control of Congress and the Presi-
dency passed into the hands Of the mi
nority party.
The Republican breach was not heal
ed in 1911. The Senate remained Demo-
cratic. In 1916. however, IL would have
become Republican again except foR
the unexpected "he-kept-us-out-of-war'
ferment which developed in the States
west Of the Mississippi. The Republi-
cans lost enough Senator's in that
region to make valueless their gains in
the East. But the Democratic margin
in the upper house remained abnormal
and accidental. There are more ma
turally Republican States in the Union
than there are naturally Democratic
ones. That is why President Wilson
and the Democratic campaign managers
are so extremely nervous about next
weeks elections.
A glance at conditions in the Senate
will show what good cause there is for
this nervousness. There are at present
fifty-two Democratic and forty-four Re
publican Senator'S. The terms Of thirty
two Senators expire and there will be
four elections TO Ill additional vacsn-
cies caused by death. The Republicans
need to gain only five seats TO obtain a
majority.
In two States-Illinols and Kansas
Republican gains are almost certain.
New Hampshire is TO elect two Senator'S
next week-one to MI out Mr.. CALM
gers unexpired term, the other to sue
ceed Mr.. Hollis, an outgoing Democrat.
Mr.. Gallinger easily carried the State
In the last Senatorial election. In Idaho,
also normally Republican, a successor
to Senator Brady is to be chosen, his
seat being now occupied by tempor-
airy appointee, who is a Democrat.
In two more States-Delaware and
Nevada-there is an excellent chance
for Republican gains. Delaware is nor
mally Republican, although because OF
factlonal quarrels she now has two
Democrats in the Senate. Hughes car
ried the State two years ago. Nevada
is very close politically. The Republl-
can candidate for Senator this year is
Representative Roberts, who had an

PEACE TALK HURTS, SAYS BARUCH.

slrr> HE Government of the United States" says Mr..
Wilson, cannot deal with any but veritable rep
resentatives of the German people,"
But as spokesman for our Government is Mr.. Wilson,
himself "vertabe representative" Of the American
people?
We have but to glance at the recent press comments
his latest series OF notes to be impressed with the
fact that the sentiment OF the public has been directly
contrary 70 that indicated by the President
1t clear TO even the casual reader that the dominat
ing thought of our people is that Germany must be
forced to an unconditional surrender.
They have been equally emphatic in their demands that
note exchanges should cease and that our military
leaders should be left unhamperd by pending peace pro-
posas until they have the decisive victory which is
now inevitable.
The nsisten demands Of the people, expressed through
the press and by letters and kilograms 10 she White
House and their representatives in Congress- finally had
their effect upon Mr. Wilson, and he has been compelled
to cease his temporlzng with the Kaiser and refer his
correspondence with that individual TO the military ad
vIsers of che United States and our Allies.
That course was urged upon the President when the
FIRST German note was received but he deliberately is
nored the popular demand dsregarded the obligations Of
the President TO be the verabe representative Of the
people, and launched out upon Of letter writing
which II continued could lead to nothing but embarass-
ment to cause.
Even before the President yielded to the insstence of
the public and brought TO close his correspondence with
Germany damage had been wrought 10 moral and

dollars and cents.
But the resulting relaxation of effort has been
distinctly felt by those who have kept in close touch

Board has been concerned at the situation To offset the
