Hays Charges
Wilson Is Still
Playing Politics

Will H. Hays, chairman Of the Re
publican National Committee, last
night in Bryant Hall in addre essing the
Republican County Committee, charged
the Wilson administration with play
ing politics in Wisconsin in attempting
to elect a Congressman and a United
States Senator.
"Our Democratic friends in Wash
ington say that politics have been ad-
iourned," said Chairman Hays. "At
the same time that they were saying
that politics were adjourned, they
were busy in every possible way to
show that politics were not adjourned.
Look at Wisconsin.
The President by letter not long ago
demanded the election Of Finley Gray
in q Congress district. In the recent
Senatorship contest the Vice President
of the United States went all the way
to Wisconsin to make partisan
speeches in support Of the Administra-
ton candidate, and all the power that
could be marshalled was rallied
against Lenroot, the Republican can
didate for Senator.
Against all the political odds that
could be piled up against him. what
happened7 The Republicans of Wis
ity of 10000 There always will be
politics. l insist that we have our poll
itics open and fair and on plane that
will inspire the people with our sin
cerity of purpose. We call on patriotic
people of this country, Democrats az
we'll as Republicans, to keep politics
out of the conduct Of the war.
"What we need in this country is not
less politics. but more attention to
politics. I have no use for the man
who is either too busy or too good to
take part in the actual politics of his
community"

Two "Ys" to Make
Joint Fall Drive
For $115,0O0,0 900
National War Work Fund
To Be Sought by Y. M.
c. A. and Y. w. G.. A.

A nationwide Campaign to raise a
war fund of s115.oo0. 900 has been de-
cided upon by the War Work Councils
OF the Y. VI. C. A. and the Y. w. C. A.
This is the first time these two or
ganizations, which represent the young
men and women of this country, have
Joined in a national undertaking. Be-
cause of the similarity Of their works
and interests, it is believed that greater
efficiency will result by cooperation
in the campaigns which each had
planned separately.
This was decided upon yesterday
when the War Work Council of the
Y. w. c. A. accepted, at the close Of
its annual session. the request of the
Y. n. c. A. that they get together to
raise budget in the fall. The War
Work Council of the Y. w. C. A. was
asked to appoint q national campaign
committee, such as the Y. M. C. A.
already had chosen. There will be .
chairman and representatives through
out the country.
George w. Perkins is chairman Of
the Y. NJ. c. A. committee, and other
members are Henry Ford. Of Detroit:
William H. Taft, Rodman Wanamaker.
John d. Rockefeller. jr., E. T. Stotes-
bury, of Phiiadelphia; Cyrus II. Nc
Cormick. of Chicago; Edward w. Box,
of Philadelphia; julius Rosenwald. Of
Chicago; Jacob Schiff, of New York:
George F. Baker, of New York, and
many others.
Mrs. James S. Cushman. chairman
Of the War Work Council of the Y. W.
c. A. said:
with keenest enthusiasm. 1t becomes
increasingly apparent that the oppor-
tunities for service and the aims Of
the two associations are identical. The
combined energies and leadership of
both associations place at the disposal
or the government recognized as
set in winning the war"
A little more than a year ago, when
the Y. NJ. c. A. started out to raise
it's first war fund, it thought $1,000
900 would be enough. That grew TO
$35,O00,9OO before the. campaign ended.
Now, with seven thousand more work
ers IN the field then it had in peace
times, this organization asks $780,
100000 The Y. W. C. A. raised S.
100000 last year. This year it asks
three times that much.
It's work has extended to France,
Russia. Italy and Jerusalem as we'll
as all over the United States.
The War Work Council Of the w.
c. A. numbers some of the best-known
women Of the country. Mrs. Robert
Lansing, wife of the Secretary Of
State; Mrs. Josephus Daniels, wife of
the Secretary of the Navy, and Mrs.
Newton Baker. wife of the Secretary
of War, are active members. These
women will take part in the fall cam
peign: Mrs. James Cushman, Mrs. H. r.
Dawson, Mrs. Coleman du Pont, Mrs.
Arthur Curtiss James, Mrs. William
Fosdick. of Washington; Mrs. Willard
Straight. Miss Mary Woolley, president
of Mount HoIyoke College: Mrs. E. T.
Stotesbury. of Philadelphia, and Mrs.
Wiiloughby Rodman, of Los Angeles.
u am highly gratified at the CO.
operation in the coming drive for war
funds" said George W. Perkins yester-
day
