munitions Of war in the markets Of
tile world. BY these votes and these
alone can the Republican candidate
hope to be elected. for Mr. Davies does
not seek them and would, believe,

whether yon are for the state.

to see anything except this war or to
do anything save to back the president
of the United States in its prosecution.
Woodrow Wilson is and viii be I'M

mander Of the army and navy Of the
United States. Some of you may be-
lieve this unfortunate but there is not

hopes for the speedy termination of
this war who can do otherwise th' 4

called constructive criticism and
round-robins will not remove him.
They viii only serve to hinder, impede
er.d delay the successful prosecution
of the war. No one believes that the
president does not want to win it and
want to win it as speedily as possible
Even his most vindictive enemy will
not accuse him of stupidity. It is neith-
er personal nor party criticism that
he needs; It is private and patriotic
advice and help. These are the things
which Mr.. Davies proposes on behalf
Of the state of Wisconsin to give to-
him.
For Republican War.
"The opponent Of Mr.. Davies pro-
poses TO prosecute this war from
Republican standpoint. There is
worse thing than mistakes and errors
and that worse thing consists in less

lheir commander IN chief at crucial
period 1t tends still further to make
our enemy believe that it is not WHOLE

mined American people who propose
to see to it that the house of Holtsnzol-
Tern shall not rule tie world.
From the standpoint of the con-
str6ctive, partisan critic a lree peo-
pie is an amazingly, ignorant, stupid
and inefficient people. They always
reject wisdom and install folly in pow
er. Constructive. partisan criticism is
never intended TO make the fool wise.
It's sole purpose is to convince the
average man of the folly of his ruler
and to induce him to change THAI ruler.

mocracy furnishes the jokeT. Au-
toeracy Is modest in comparison with
the appraised wisdom of many
men in a democracy. Louis of France
limited himself to being the state;

himself with forming partnership

tisan critic of America to assume con

No Republican. as disclosed by the
primaries. can be elected to the senate
Of the United States without receiving
votes which in the primary We're char
actecized as "dislcyal votes" No Re
publican can come to the senate from
the state of Wisconsin without feel
ing upon the part of the Imperial Ger
man government that that senator
having once changed his mind may, BIZ
the shifting of few hundred votes If

this contest submitted this issue. Let
them be brave enough to meet it like
patriots rather than as partisans. Lei
their votes at the polls ratify the state
ment of the greatest living Republican
Elihu Root, when he ssid:
For four years to come the
Democrats viii be in control in
Washington and, If we love our
country, we must give 10 that party
our whole-hearted, honest. sincere
support. just as if every man there
was a Republican. That is the
only way we can prove, not only
our love for our country, but that
the Republican party loves its
country more than place and
power.
