A Reply to President Wilson Appeal by
Prominent Members Of Congress

says there they understand the
meaning of elections. They do,
and they will know that if the re-
publicans have majority in con-
gress the war will be pressed
with greater viaor than ever be-
fore. They will know that the re-
publican party stands for a vic
torious peace and the overthrow
of Prussian militarism. The
knowledge will not depress the
spirit of our allies or encourage
the government of Germany.
The republican party believes
that the question Of surrender
should be left to Marshall Foch,
to the generals and to the armies
in the field. When they report
Germany has laid down her arms
the United States and the allies
should then impose their terms.
Will that knowledge cause dejec-
ton to those who are fighting
with us? All the world knows
that the republican party is op-
posed to negotiations and discus
sion carried on in diplomatic not
es addressed to the German gov
ernment. The republican party
stands for unconditional surren-
der. There is no republican creed
so short that there is not room
in it for these two words.

Colonel Rosepelt' s Comment on Wilson S
Appeal to Elect all Democrats

had time to read the document
which all good Americans will
regard as the most lamentable
appeal to politics ever made by
a president during a great war
which has been heartily support
by all good citizens without re-
gard to party, but which so far
as there have been party differ
ences at all has been more heart
lily supported by his political op-
ponents than by his political
friends"

Text of G. O. p. Statement
The statement issued by re-
publican leaders in congress fol-
lows:
Some time ago the president
said politics is adjourned. Now,
in the closing days of the cam
paign- delayed by the united ef-
forts of all parties for the Liberty
loan-now, when all public meet
ings have been given up owing
to the influenza epidemic, the
president sends out a direct party
appeal calling upon his country
men to vote for democrats be-
cause they are democrats, with
out any reference to whether
such democrats have been or are
in favor of war measures and
have a war record which deserv-
eS support.
The republican party in con-
gress has supported the admin
istration policies since the war
Nth a unaninity and an ab-
sence of crificisn1 unprecedenf-
ed in party history.
There are some domestic
questions where we should un-
doubtedly differ from the course
pursued by the administration.
We should not, for example, fix
a price on the formers lDhsaf
and leaue the planters cotton
untouched. Another domestic
question in which the republican
party believes thoroughly is &C.
onomic preparation for the COM
ing Of peace, and they are clearly
of the opinion that the congress
of the United States should not
be excluded from the great task.
Not a One-Man War
"7his is not the pyesident's
personal var. This is not the
war of congress. 1t is not the
war of the democratic or the re-
publican party. 1t is the war Of
the American people. It is more.
It is the war of the United States,
Of the allied powers, of the civiliz-
ed world against the barbarism Of
Germany. In this great burden
and responsibility the republican
party, representing more than
half the citizenship Of the coun-
TRY, demands its riehtful share. II
the republican party is intrusted
with power in either or both
houses they will do everything
possible to drive forward the war
and hasten the day Of victory.
