SENATOR HALE MAKES
STATEMENT ON APPEAL
OF PRESIDENT WILSON

Washington, d. c., Oct Ex-senator
Frederick Hale of Maine made the
following statement relative to Pres
ident Wilson's appeal to the coun-
try to elect a Democratic Congress
next month.
1.-THE feeling Of indignation at the
Presidents course in demanding a
Democratic Congress is manifesting
itself everywhere here in Washing
ton. not alone among Republicans,
but among Democrats as we'll. The
record of the Republican party dur
ing the war is to be 6isregarded and
the war and the reconstruction legis-
lation after the war are to be fought
out along partisan lines. if the Pres
ident has his way. A Republican Con-
gress is not TO be trusted, not be-
cause in the past they have failed
to support the President in all OF his
war measures, for that is what they
have done; but in the future, to car
ry out his plans he must have a
Congress that will carry out those
plans serviiely and without question
of examination.
This is new principle OF govern
ment that is being presented to the
American people. 1t involves an abb
solute dictatorship and at time
when the military affairs Of the
country arc going more than. well.
This dictatorship is given plenary
powers. not only to carry the coun-
try through military crisis. but to
establish for all time relations Of
the American people with the other
peoples of the world. The Congress
is to abrogate its rights in the set
Element OF these matters to follow
biindly the judgment Of the Presi-
dent Of the United States.

people will never submit to. such 4
