-THE PEOPLES WAR;

From Col. Rooseyclt's Saratoga

United States rs the prime need This
Is the peoples war II Is not the pres

Rress. II Is the var OF the people OF
the United states. Our w%holeheartod
and undivided loyalty Is due 10 the
country as q whole, aud 10 every pub
dc servant. whether president or sen
ator. executive official or congress-
man. precisely TO the degree In which
that public servant dlsinterestedly and
efficiently serves the country. We
demand loyalty OF this type; for II is
the only loyalty proper for self-re-
spccting American frcemen.
The events OF the last year and
a half have shown the necessity OF
~electing a Republican congress. to
support the administration at every
point where h sets vigorously In pros
ecuting the war. and 10 supply its de-
hciencios Ia the prosecution OF the war
and In the carrying out OF a proper
world policy. This country needs a
congress which will give the admins
tration this kind OF vigorous support.
and yet will fcarlessly supervise and,
whom necessary. investigate what is
being done
since the var began the tepub-
iicaus Ina congress have acted Ia a spir-

The war they have furnished a larger

whereas the bulk OF the Democrats

that we can win the war and secure
the right kind OF peace.
