Our President says adjourn poll
tics to the Republicans. while the
Democrats continue to hustle to elect
a ticket of their own This policy
practically says: be easy on that mur-
der, the Kaiser and his good, cuI-
tured" people, and create a pro-Ger-
man condition for peace. He practi-
cally says to sensible democrats to
help elect a Democratic Congress,
which will owe me a personal debt
of gratitude for securing it's cleo
ton.
The President thus puts a cam
ofiauge over the trusting Republicans
by making them think that politics
was adjourned during the war
It has given the President and his
friends a bad jolt to find that the Re-
publicans Of the United States, along
with thousands of patriotic Demo-
Gratis, are ready and will fight the
attempt to continue control of the
nation thru and by political chicanery.
Give the President to understand
that this country is patriotic, but am

for them, by electing broad minded
republicans in both branches Of Con-

Where They Differ.

There are some domestic questions
where we should undoubtedly differ
from the course pursued by the Ad-
ministratiOn.
I'VE should not, for example, fix a
price on the farmers wheat and leave
the planters cotton untouched.
Another domestic question in
which the Republican party believes
thoroughly is economic preparation
for the coming Of peace, and it is
clearly Of the opinion that the Con-
gress Of the United States should not
be excluded from that great task.
'This is not the Presidents per-
sOnal war.
This is not the war Of Congress.
1T is not the war Of the Democrat
ic or the Republican party.
1T is the war Of the American peo-
pie.
1T is more. It is the war of the
United States, Of the Allied powers,
barbarism Of Germany.
In this great burden and respon-
sibility the Republican party, repre-
senting more than half the citizen
ship Of the country, demands its right
ful share.
II the Republican party is intrust-
ed with power in either, or both
Houses, they will do everything pos
sible to drive forward the war and
hasten the day Of victory.
THE President speaks Of the nee
essity Of telling the plain truth.
That the Republican party in con-
troll Of Congress would do, for they
have no friends to shield. And thew
will do more, they will give ali the
money to the last dollar necessary
to sustain our armies and our fleets:
but they will check the waste now
going on Of the money given by the
most generous people on the face Of
the earth.
"The President speaks Of the ef-
feet Of the election abroad. He saws
that there they understand the mean
ing Of elections.

Is This A Private War?

Washington. D. C.-In answer t
President wilson's public request fol
the election of a Democratic Congress:
upon the ground the safety Of the ma
ton demanded the defeat Of the Re
publican candidates for Congress, the
following statement is issued by the
Republican leader in Congress:
Some time ago the President said
'politics is adjourned Now, IN the
closing days of the campaign-de-
layed by the united efforts Of all par
ties for the Liberty LOan-nOw, wnen
all public meetings have been given
up, owing to the influenza epidemic,
the President sends out a direct par
ty appeal, calling upon his country
men to vote for Democrats, because
they are Democrats, without any ref
have been, or are, in favor of war
measures, and have a war record
which deserves support.
The voters of Michigan, to take a
single example, are called upon to
support Mr. Henry Ford-nOtorious
for his advocacy Of peace at any price,
for his contemptuous allus;ons to the
flag, for the exemption OF HIS son
from military service-On the sole
ground that he will blindly support
the President.
THE President is quite ready to ad
NIT the Republicans are loyal enough
to fight and die. as they are doing by
the thousands; loyal enough to take
up great loans and pay enormous tax
es; loyal enough to furnish impor !
tant men, at no salary, on some of the |
great war boards in Washington. |
But they are not loyal enough in the |
Presidents opinion, to be trusted |
with a share in the government of
the country or legislation for it.
IF the Republican party controls
the House. we can point out some of
the things they will do. They will
replace Mr.. Dent, of Alabama, at the
head of the Military Affairs Commit
tee, with Mr.. Julius Kahn, to whom
turn for assistance, to take charge of
and carry the first draft bill against
Mr.. Dents opposition.
They will put Republican at the
head Of the Ways and Means Com
mittee. as leader of the House, in
stead Of Mr.. Kitchin. of North Caro-
ina, who voted against the war
They will give the country a
Speaker who did not oppose,l and
would never oppose. a draft bill, and
would never say, as Speaker Clark
lid, that there is precious little diff
erence between a conscript and
convict.
Although the Republicans of the
House are in the minority. they cast
more actual votes on seven great
var measures than the Democratic
majority was able to do.
What is the record of the Senate?
"On fifty-One roll calls on war
measures between April S, 1917, and
LAY 20, 1918. the votes cast by Re-
,ublicans in favor Of such measures
we're 72 per cent. while only 81 per
ent of the votes cast on the Demo-
ratio side were in favor of such
measures.
Those were the Presidents own
leasures.
Does that record look as if we had
him?
The Republican party in Congress
as supported the Administration pol
lies since the war with a unanimity
nd an absence of criticism unpre-
edented in party history.
