There is only one issue-shall we

asked for a vote Of confidence. Shall
We give 1t to him? There is not one
of the allied countries-England,
France, italy or Belgium-that would
not give Woodrow Wilson a vote of

MI. Gregory Hits Republicaas.
Attorney General Gregory said. in
part:
The partisan issue was injected
into the approaching election by men
who are admittedly the leaders Of
the republican party.
The President Is regarded by the
world as its most influential citisen
spokesman. Nevertheless. Col Roose-
welt. the accepted unofficial leader Of
the republican party in the United
States, has. by every means in his
power. sought to destroy the conf
dence reposed by the people in the
ity with which the latter Is clothed.
In q more subtle way, the leader Of
the republican party in the Senate
has pursued the same course"
