politics with its biennial bitterness,
charges n denominations, is here
with all the demagoguey Of peace time
and something more. an intensity OF
feeling about the var and its issues
that must make the next two weeks
remoniscent Of the fights which Nc
Kinley and Lincoln undertook to retain
control Of congress while handling ma
tional crisis.
OF the merits Of the controversy, Of
the outcome OF the election Itself, of
the possible effects abroad of g. Re
publican or Democratic defeat, it Will
be the business of the principals and
the campaign managers to h~arangue,
but the premises which underly the Re-
publican and Democratic case between
which the public Ia soon to choose It
In not difficult for the disinterested
both sides are visible to the naked eye.
Plainly the Republican case, as re-
Vealed in acts n u~tteTanCes OF the
leaders here, Is that the Democrats
have not been efficient, that their
management OF the house and the lead
ership Of Claude Kitchen, particularly,
has been clumsy and hurtful and that
the Republican ChaiTmen of committees
would be much more efficient n the
Republican party much more IN tune
dith the desire of the country for a
| smooth working machinery In congress
thar Is the Democratic party.
In other words, the Republicans de-
| sire TO control congress springs largely
from conviction that they know how"
better than do the Democrats. Their
chief interest, indeed, Is domestic leg's-
iatlon, especially after the war, when
they want to see a protective tariff
reImposed and they want to have a
say in the disposal Of the huge ship.
ping facilities, railways, telearaphs and
telephone systems and other resources
pooled for the emergency Of war.
They believe they know how TO dis
pose Of these things in the public in
terest better than do the Democrats,
The assumption Is that the war Will
be over during the life Of the next con =
gress,, so while there may be a lot OF
talk about prosecution Of the war and
crushing Germany" the real thought
Of the Republicans as well as the
| Democrats Is about after the war"
Similarly while the Republicans want
to have a hand In what shall be done
about shipping, t~elegraphs, railroads
n kindred matters, the Democrats
are lnslstent that the Republican party
has not changed Its leadership or al
fiItatIon with privileged classes ant
that the Common people can be protect
ed from "orpanlzed loot" as one Dem
ooratlo leader expresses It, only BY
keeping the party Of Woodrow Wilson
In power. In other words the Demo
Gratis believe they should be retained
to save the country from the Republl'
cans.
