N. Y. City Papers
Differ in Comment
On Wilson AppeaI

Morning newspapers Of this city COM
ment as follows to-day in their edi-
torial columns on Presidents Wilson's
appeal to voters to return a Democratic
majority to the Senate and House at
the forthcoming elections:
The Sun
There has been much in Mr.. Will
sons deliverances requiring subse-
quent explanation. His amazing i'm
pllcaIons concerning the effect of a
Republican success on November 5
seems to us to belong Enthusiastically
to this class of expressions.
"A Republican victory in the Con-
gress elections, defeat of the
kitchins and the Dents and the over
throw of the narrow witted and mali
cious oligarchy which has dominated
Democratic policy in Congress so long,
VIII not be reputation of the Presi-
dent IN the eyes of Europe. Only he
could imagine it. if he indeed believes
1t. 1t Will not be a weakening but q
strengthening Of this nations potency
in the war for democracy, for it will
be one Of the most notable illustrations
Of the principle of self determination
that our friends and enemies could
ever behold"
The World
ut is not surprising that Republi-
cans vigorously criticise the Presidents
appeal for the election of Democratic
Congress- His argument is powerful in
all its bearings, but he is not the man
who should have made it. Others have
said in his behalf all that he now saws
for himself in an unexampled way, and,
we believe with much greater proba,

form of lamentable methods and delays
in clothing, rifles. machine guns, artil-
lery and ammunition but Investigations
in the Senate Military Committee OF
Republicans and a few wiful but pa
triotic Democrats?
The patriotism and usefulness of the
Republicans as minority in winning
this war stand out so clearly as com
pared with that Of the leaders Of the
Democratic ma jority that the Repub-
licans may we'll go to the people on
the issue which the President raises
Nor is there any more real weight
in the Presidents plea that an cleo
ton of a Republican Congress will in
lure the cause of the country in this
war abroad as vote of want of con-
tidence in his prosecution Of the war.
Invokes Faith of Allies
The intelligence which he says the
European peoples have. has enabled
them to see that an election of Re-
publican Congress will mean more
certain prosecution of this war to an
unconditional surrender than if the
President shall secure a House and
Senate who will only do his will and
second his desires.
The shiver which went through the
hearts of the American people when
the implied proposals Of the Prcsi-
dents first note for negotiated peace
were so quickly accepted by Germany
was shared by all the brave but suf-
fering peoples of our allies.
For reasons apparent to all. the real
expressions Of feeling in respect to
President Wilson's utterances in Eng
land and France are restrained. But
when the torrent of American public
opinion compelled q gradual return
toward demand for unconditional sur
render the JOY of our allies was unre-
strained. They know that a verdict at
the election for Republican House
will end forever the dangers which
seemed to face a negotiated peace.
Instead of obstructing the President
and our allies in winning this war and
q dictated peace, nothing would so dis
courage the Germans and hearten our
allies as the return of Republican
Congress.
New-York tribune., 1918-10-26


Boston fMass.) Herald
So far as tho prosecution OF the war
Is concerned. on which the President
lays his emphasis, or the maintenance
or American rights after it's close,
there IS not one scintila of reason for
the election of Democrat. or for a
Democratic House or Senate. The argu-
ment lies altogether on the other side.
Baltimore (Md.) Sun
Pohtics is adjourned. or ought to
be, so far as petty squabbling over
personalities or trivial issues is con-
cerned. There is no reputation Of
that doctrine in the Presidents state
ment. He is asking for support, as he
himself says, not Tor mis- own sake,
nor for the sake Of political party,
but for the sake of the nation itself
Omaha (Neb.) World Herald
While the responsible governments
are moving forward in harmony to
WIN peace and victory it is Colonel
Roosevelt, leader rejected by the
American people, who sends telegrams
10 the Republican leaders of the SEN
ate urging them 70 use their power in
the Senate to discredit and defeat the
Presidents peace terms. Supporte d
and applauded abroad, but opposed and
embarrassed by powerful political en-
emles at home, there was left to Wood
row Wilson but one recourse, and he
has boldly embraced it.
indianapolis Star
Though Americans, Democrats. as
we'll as Republicans, will read with
sorrow the Presidents appeal to his
"tellow Countrymen" to vote for
Democrats regardless of the service
and merits OF Republican candidates
Tor places in Congress, it is more than
political incident when the President
OF the United States steps down from
his high Office in an attempt to use the
war as partisan asset Patriotism
isn't a party affair.
Portland (Ore.) Oregonian
We prefer to think that the plain
partisan appeal from Washington is
not the voice Of the President of the
United States, but that of party
leader deceived or i'll advised by
scheming opportunists. That a great
body of Americans comprising nearly
one half the population is unfit to par
ticlpate in war councils is unthinkable
1t IS not true.
Buffalo On. W Courier
President Wilson has appealed to the
country to give Inn the support of a
Democratic majority in Congress-, both
as an indorsemenL Of his work and as
supDor for the balance of mis- Admin
istra- ion. This Goes not mean the
President desires that only Eemocrat-
,c members be elected, for he has pub
Ncly Endorsed several Republican Con
gresslonal candidates. 1t means he can
work best with a majority of his own
party.
Lincoln (Neb.) State Journal
The issue Of this appeal is one OF
the most regrettable incidents in the
career Of President Wilson.

Wilson's Appeal
Causes Sensation
In the Capital
Especial Dispatch to Tho Tribune)


WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-The Presi-
dents campaign appeal is the sensa-
ton of the day, and for the moment
overshadows the graver news from the
where discussed, some of the comment
from leaders in Congress was speedily
reduced to the form of statements,
which follow:
Charles Curtis, Republican whip Of
the Senate: 81 am just advised that
the President has appealed to the
country for vote of confidence by
the election of Democratic House and
Senate. 1t seems 20 me that the cleo
ton Of the majority of Democrats IN
the House and Senate would be vote
Of lack of confidence in the prosecution
of the war. II q vote of confidence is
desired by the Administration, he
should ask for the election of Re-
publican Senate and Republican
House. because the Congressional
the Republicans have been more loyal
to the Administration than have the
Democrats"
Senator Thomas. Democrat. Colo
RADIO: "Thc President perfectly ex-
pressed the view of the Democratic
majority OF the present Congress. The
Republicans have not tempered
and will not in any way hamper the
conduct of the war. There is no ques-
tion that they are as loyal as the
Democrats. But this is no time for
divided counsel"
Senator Knox. Pennsylvania. Repub-
lican: II cannot believe that the
American people can be persuaded that
the success OF The war or the loyal
support of the President in the con-
duct of the war, will be in the slightest
degree affected by the result of the
next election. TO deny otherwise is to
deny the facts Of history
Senator Pcnrose, Republican, Penn
sylvania: "It was only short time ago
that the President declared that poll
New-York tribune., 1918-10-26

tics should be adjourned 1t is evident
that he has been compelled to abandon
this position, because defeat is con-
fronting the Democratic party at the
approaching election. As last des-
perate resort the full power Of the
Presidents office is brought into play.
"The Republicans have published
sional districts and in Senatorial cleo
tions in the states which give good
promise of giving the Republicans con-
troll of both the Senate and House.
The accuracy of these estimates is con-
tirmed by confidential estimates in
Democratic circles, which actually con-
cede Republican majorities in both
branches of the next Congress. Many
other conditions have combined to per-
suade the Democratic leaders that their
party is likely to be defeated in New
York and other large states, so far as
state tickets are concerned.
"This statement, therefore, is last
effort to save situation which, in
my opinion, is beyond saving.
"Certainly the record Of the Repub-
licans in both branches of Congress is
superior to that of the Democrats in
support of all war measures. The Re-
publicans are freely permitted to pay
the great bulk Of the taxes and to fur
nish apparently the larger part of the
troops on the firing line. 1t does not
seem unreasonable that they should be
permitted to participate in the affairs
of government.
"This is not Wilson's war, or the
Democratic party's war, but the war of
the American people. Mr.. Wilson needs
all the help he can get. but he is, after
all, only part of the government.
When it comes to peace the Senate
comes into play equally with him. No
treaties can be made without the con-
sent of the Senate, but I have no hes-
tation in saying for one, that the
American people will derive greater
assurance that we will have no peace
except by surrender. and no economic
arrangements that do not look first
and foremost to the protection of
Ame erican industries. with a Republ
can Senate than with a pacfist. free
trade, Democratic majority prevailing
in the Senate
Representative Sloan Republican,, =,
of Nebraska: "The Presidents letter is
the climax Of five years OF ultra -parti-
sanship, delivered to the country at
time when non partisanship in the Tx
ecutiye would most become chief mag
istrate who has had unwaverng sup
port of Republicans, who constitute a
majority Of the voters, taxpayers and
soldiers of the nation. To his recent
statement before Congress that poll
tics is adjourned, he trumpets to the
country that. SO far as the White House
is concerned, it has been reconvened
with a vengeance"
Senator Hitchcock, Of Nebraska,
chairman of the Senate Foreign Rela
tions Committee: "The President has
stated the exact facts. He was practi-
caly forced to make his appeal by Re-
publican attacks on his policies"
Representative J. A. Moon, of Tennes-
see: "The President has stated the fact
and drawn q strong, correct conclu-
sion"

the right direction. 1t is one thing for
orators or newspapers to say in time Of
war that the result of an election MAY
be construed as a reputation OF the
President 1t is something emphatical-
ly different when the President himself
so pronounces it.
Nevertheless, and disregarding these
objections, the theory mistakably pro
pounded by the President in his own
behalf is unanswerable. The election
Of a partisan Republican Congress
next month would result in something
worse than proclamation that the
American people were halting in Their,
support of the Administration. Il
would introduce into the councils o.
government partisan elements certain
to be productive of mischief and from
whicn no possible good could be de-
rived"

in the present Congress have un-
questionably been pro-war, but
they have been anti-administra-
ton. At almost every turn since
We entered the war they have
sought to take the choice Of pol
icy and the conduct Of the war
out Of my hands and put them un-
der the control Of nstrumentali~
ties of their own choosing.
This is no time either for di-
vided council or for divided lead
ership. Unity Of command is as
necessary now in civil action as
1T is upon the field Of battle. If
the control Of the House and the
Senate should be taken away
from the party now in power an
opposing majority could assume
control Of legislation and oblige
all action to be taken amid con-
test and obstruction.
1.-The return of Republican
majority to either House Of the
Congress would, moreover, be in
terprctcd on the other side of
the water as a Reputation Of my
leadership. Spokesman of the
Republican party are urging you
to elect Republican Congress in
order to back up and support the
President, but even if they should
in this impose upon some credu-
lous voters on this side Of the
water they would impose on no
one on the other side. It is we'll
understood there as we'll as here
that the Republican leaders de-
sire not so much to support the
President as to control him.
Europe Is Watching
"Thc peoples Of the Allied
countries with whom we are as
sociated against Germany are
quite familiar with the signif-
icance of elections. They would
find it very difficult to believe
that the voters Of the United
States had chosen to support their
President by electing to the Con-
gress a majority controlled by
those who are in fact not in SYM
pathy with the attitude and ac-
tion of the administration.
II need not tell you, my fellow
countrymen, that am asking
your support, not for my own
sake or for the sake Of political
party. but for the sake of the ma
tion itself, in order that it's in
ward unity Of purpose may be
evident to all the world. In or
dinary times I would not feel at
liberty to make such an appeal
to you. In ordinary times di
vided counsels can be endured
without permanent hurt to the
country. But these are not or
dinary times.
IF III these critical days it is
your wish to sustain me with un-
divided minds, l beg that you will
say so in a way which it will not
be possible to misunderstood,
either here at home or among
our associates on the other side
of the sea. l submit my difficult
ties and my hopes to you.

Health hints:

Many men now avoid the
cars and are finding how
good the walking is. A little
longer to reach business, but
the time spent outdoors is a
health investment.
IF you reside in Brooklyn
no finer walks exist than the
footpaths Of the bridges.
And just across City Hall
Park is our Warren Street
store.
If you come from Jersey
the uptown exit from the
Hudson tube lands you al
most at the door of our 34th
St. store, and Broadway or
Fifth Avenue are excellent
tootpaths-up or down.
Same via Pennsylvania
Terminal from Jersey or
Long Island.
All Westchester County
and New England land at
the Grand Central Terminal
and there you are ready for a
stroll down either Fourth,
Madison or the Avenue of
the Allies. You start close
to our 5th Ave. at 4lst St.
store with a And St. en-
trance), and pass Broadway
& 18Th St. near Union
Square, with its Battle Ship
Naval Recruiting Station.
The shopping facilities are
as good as the walking.
