DENVER, April 4.-Although unity at home is essential to the winning of the war constructive criticisms are necessary, Will Hays, chairman of the republican national committee, de- clared here tonight in an address at a public reception rendered by state re- publican leaders.
 q would want to assume that such criticism is desired in Washington, said MT. Hays. T absolutely cant be- gin to understand the mental processes or the heart beats of men in high au- thority in this awful crisis who wish otherwise; and any refusal or neglect to use every possible, efficient instru- ment that will help win this terrible war, when the need of them IS so ap- palling. would be most reprehensible. There will be an awful accounting de- manded for such action as sure as IS certain the intelligence and patriotism of the American people. 1 am sure that those who offer constructive criticism according to their patriotic Judgment will also be fair enough and candid enough to commend when there is ground for commendation.'
 Referring to the part of the republi can party in the war, MT. Hays said the loyalty of the republican party has always been and always will be meas ured only by the possibilities The re- publican party shall strive with every means within it's power to win the wal and to win the war now. In this su- preme crisis its patriotic, loyal mem bership will strive fight, give and die until we have a conclusive peace-by- victory. and not by compromised bar gaining

 'I am sure you agree with me tha the reunited republican party faces tn future with triumphant expectancy The first thing in the minds of all to day is the war I know we all agre that the winning of the war and tn preparation for the reconstructio which is to follow is our only req business, and that everything else chores.
