WATERMAN DISCUSSES HIS

Charles w. Waterman, Republican
candidate for nomination for United

ing statement:
That 1--WE staunchly support the
cause of national woman suffrage is
not new slogan for the Republican
party. This is directly in line with
the action of the national Republican
committee last February. which fol
lowed the splendid support given by
the Republicans January 10. when the
suffrage amendment passed the house
AT that time per cent of the Repub-
icans voted for the amendment, while
the Democrats could only muster so
per cent of their members. In the sen
ate, where the amendment is now
pending, the Republicans are giving
the same loyal support and we are
pushing for immediate passage. And
again, the Democrats, with only so
per cent of their votes pledged. are
blocking the amendment.

fought to have such a plank put in
the national platform.
Then too, the resolution adopted by
the Republican state central commit
tee in Denver last May is as strong a
statement as can possibly he made. in
my opinion. 1t is, moreover. according
to national woman's party leaders in
the state, the first unqualified support

COMMENTS OF THE PRESS

A Democratic War

Editor Young of the Pella Chronicle
says that the Republicans are trying
to steal their (the Democratic party's)
war. This startling accusation was
contained in last weeks Chronicle.
Perhaps you had not Thought to
think" that this is Democratic war
Listen to this from Mr.. Young:
They try to steal our war. The
Republican state convention last week
adopted a resolution declaring that
this war belongs to no political party.
Now. aren't they up to their old tricks
again? Just as soon as the Democrats
get a good issue, the Republicans try
to steal it,
This naive confession from Mr..
Young is certainly refreshing 1t ex-
plains a good many things about the
conduct of the war that had hitherto
remained a deep mystery.
And while it may be considered
doubtful whether Mr. Young's explana-
tion will be confirmed from sources
higher up in the party. there is no
doubt but that it throws considerable
light upon actions that have puzzled
and mystified the people of the nation.
1t being regarded as a Democratic
war explains the refusal of President
Wilson to follow the example of all
other nations in the war and organize
a coalition cabinet. Since the Demo
Gratis needed no aid in making the
war, why should they ask for help in
conducting it? Perfectly plain.
Again. why should the administra-
tion permit Colonel Roosevelt and Gen
eral Wood to have any part in the war
Are they not openly and avowedly
Republicans? These men must be
taught their places and instead Of OPP
posing the Democratic party. they
should be made to know that 1t is the
Democratic party that has favors to
confer.
Again. it being Democratic war.
how unreasonable 1t Is OF Republicans
to claim that they are loyal and. pat
riotic. and how nearly reasonable for
them to aspire to office! Just to set
these presumptuous office seekers in
their proper places 1t has been neces-

is one of the strong men of the West

ing Shafroths term, he secured one
particular piece of legislation that was
the starting off of our normal school
at Gunnison. When this state institu-
tion was completed no provision had
been made for the furnishings, and
while the senate was strongly Demo
cratic, the senator managed after many
attempts to get a bill through provid-
ing for the furnishing of the building.
He is a worker and takes great pride
in doing things especially for his
constituents. No man, in our opinion,
would have the Western Slope more at
heart than Senator Stephan and
he is going to make a mighty strong

FOUR MILLION AMERICANS IN
FRANCE BY NEXT JULY

Washington, August l5.-Chief of
Staff March told the senate military
committee today that an American
with the Allies and all under one com
mander. could go through the german
lines whenever they. pleased to do so.
His testimony on the new man-pow-
er bill, that makes the draft ages from
Is to As, was published today when
the committee on military affairs re-
turned the bill, with the recommends
tion that it have an early passage
In part. his testimony is as follows:
The war department hopes to have
an army of four million overseas by
next July. their belief being that the
best policy Is to furnish enough man
power to whip the germans from now
on. The only way the germans can be
whipped is by America going into this
thing with her whole strength.
The policy of the war department is
to put maximum lumber of men in
France with the idea of shortening the
war. How much longer IT takes to
win depends entirely upon what this
country does.
II we drag along with this bill, we
will be playing germanys game by
delaying the final blow.
All of the men obtained under the
proposed age changes, which will be
approximately 100000, the war de-
partment expects to have in France by
July of next year.
