THE PEOPLES ANSWER TO
MR.. WILSON'S PARTISAN
APPEAL.
IL This m American War, or . VIII.
son.Democrntie wari

from all parts of the country. from all
parties. and all occupations, have suf-
fered death or wounds In battle. More
than 100000 men have gone over
seas to night. and millions more are
called. Twenty-Five millions OF Ameri-
cas- citizens have loaned their money
to the Government. Millions Of men
and women have turned from their home
and business affairs to work for the
Government and help II In the life and
death matter OF winning the war.
Yet the President Of all these citizens
proclaims to the nation and to the world
that he does not trust and cannot work
with the representatives of more than
half of the citizens of the United States,
and therefore does not wish these citi-.
gems In the next election to send their
representatives TO Congress!
He asks that Americas great war for
Justice and popular government be
turned over to the exclusive control Of
years has been the minority party of
the nation. and that he alone be the
supreme dictator of war methods and
policies and the sole Judge of the time
and the conditions Of peace.

publican members of Congress have
been pro-war, but he complains that
they have been Observation-Disclosures. He

must be kept to the front in weighing
the Importance of the Presidents COM
plant that they have been anti-Admin-

were for the protection and the honor
OF America have they been anti-Admin-
istration. In none of the things that
have been aimed straight at the defeat
and the unconditional surrender Of Ger
many have they been anti-Admnistra-
ton. In none OF the things which have
been planned and directed to speeding
UP the war and gaining greater eff
| cheney and integrity. with less of profit
eering In the conduct OF the war work
In all its departments, have they been
anti-Administration. And all these
things have been the supreme business
| of the nation during the present Con-
| gress, and will continue to be so for
| more than the life of the next Congress.
1t is conceivable that our allies would
| not be wholly displeased II some OF the
| strong American hearts and brains, and
| power of action hitherto suppressed In
| this nation for political reasons. were
| to ind opportunity for larger exercise
! In meeting the great problems of the
present and the future.
1t is conceivable that the Imperial
German Government might regret, even
more than our Democratic President,
