VOTE AGAINST DENT.

Dent Of Alabama is chairman of the
House Committee on Military Affairs.
AS such he fought the enactment of
the law under which the United States
created the Army Of Victory, which
is now driving the Hun out of France
and Belgium. He fought against this
bill while it was in his committee. He
fought 1t when 1t came up for passage
in the House.
You can cast your vote against Dent
by voting for the Republican candi-
date for Congress in your district. If
the Republicans carry Congress Dent
Of Alabama loses his craftsmanship.
Kahn, Republican, Of California, who
led the fight for the draft law when
Dent went back ON the President,
would get Dents job If the Republic
ans carry Congress
Democratic Alabama will send Dent
back to Congress, again to fight the
President. It's up to you to render
his opposition harmless by helping
elect a Republican Congress which will
replace Dent with Kahn

NO "D|CKERED" PEACE
Germany Must Surrender" Say
Republican Leaders in Treaty
Making Senate.

Early in August, Senator Lodge,
ranking Republican member OF the
Senate Committee on Foreign Affairs
and Republican leader in the Senate,
sounded an earnest warning against
any premature or compromising peace
with Germany. He demanded peace
dictated only by victorious American
and Allied armies, peace involving
Germany's unconditional surrender.
His address aroused the greatest en-
thusasm in all the Allied countries,
where it was reproduced in the public
press.
When the recent Teutonic overtures
for peace were made Republican lead
ers in the Senate, which is the treaty.

mediately went on record against any
armistice or "dickering" with Ger

ALL PARTIES ARE LOYAL
Democratic Leaders Claim ST
Monopoly on Patriotism
Insult to Millions.

1t Is Of themselves, not of the Presi
dent, that Democratic members OF
Congress are thinking when they urge
the election of a Democratic Congress
upon the ground it is necessary In or
der to support the President In his wal
program. 1t Is partisanship and not
patriotism that they are preaching. II
Is a base effort to make party capital
out of national crisis and "cash In
as a party on national sacrifices.
From the very beginning the Repub-
licans In Congress have unhesitatingly
voted money, men and other resources
and power without limit whenever the
Administration asked 1t as war
measure. The record shows that upon
several occasions when war measures
asked by President Wilson were be-
ing bitterly fought by Democratic
leaders the Republican leaders came
to the rescue Of the President and
gave him what he wanted.
Republicans have resigned their
seats In Congress to enter into active
military service in support of the war.
Republicans everywhere have sent
hundreds of thousands of their own
flesh and blood to give armed support
to the President and the government.
Republicans have led the fight for pre-
paredness They have stood by the
war to the utmost They are commit
ted against any peace that is not die
tated by victory. Their record as par
ty in Congress and as individuals out
side of Congress proves their 100 per
cent. Americanism.
In asking control of the next Con-
gress, Republicans are merely asking
permission and opportunity to pull
half the load to share in the patriotic
responsibility of handling the affairs
of their natioa during a crisis. To
meet this crisis they have responded
without question, without stint and
without thought of partisanship, to ev-
cry demand and every request Of the
Administration.
To intimate that the election of a Re
publican congress would not be stand
ing by the President and the govern
ment is to accuse every Republican of
disloyalty. To brand the Republican
request for participation in govern
mental affairs as being menace to
the nation and the President and re-
quest which the voters should reject
is an insult to every Republican home
which has service flag and to thou
sands Of Republican communities
which have oversubscribed Liberty
loans and given a heaped-up, running
over measure of loyal support to every
request of the government and the
President.
The claim of Democratic leaders
that they have a monopoly of loyalty
and those not Of their political belief
are not good Americans and should
not be trusted in official positions will
receive its just rebuke on November 8.

ONLY nine STATES
LOCATED IN SOUTH
CONTROL CONGRESS
Capitalization of Power Which
Is RemindfuI of
Prussia.

Washington, d. C.-The Democratic
party controls Congress. The South
controls the Democratic party. Result !:
The South controls Congress and die
tates national legislation.
Nearly every important committee
in the Senate has a Southern Demo-
crat for it's chairman. Among these
are the Committees on Appropriations,
Commerce, District of Columbia,
Finance, immigration, Interoceanic Ca
nails, Interstate Commerce, judiciary,
Manufa cturers, Naval Affairs, Post Of
fees and Post Roads, as we'll as anoth-
er committee which is at any crisis In
the parliamentary affairs of the Senate
the most important of all, the Commit
tee on Rules, of which Lee Overman, q
Democrat, Of North Carolina is Chair
man.
Not only does each important Senate
committee have a Southern Democrat
for chairman, but the majority Of each
Senate committee is composed Of Dem
ocrats, under the rules which give the
party In power the majority of each
committee. The only way to change
this is to place the Republicans in pow
er and let all sections of the United
States have chairmanshipS.
AS it now is Senators from Southern
states, with sectional prejudices, are
holding a monopoly Of the direction Of
practically all important national poll
cies and all legislation affecting the
activities of the nation. They direct
the raising of revenues, appropriation
of money, control of finance and bank
ing, shipping education and labor, ag-
riculture and immigration, canals, rail-
roads and other forms Of transporta-
ton, army, navy, public health and
other national affairs.
Autocracy of Nine States.
In the House of Representative sec
tionalism and Southern domination is
even more pronounced than in the SEN
ate.
There are 81 House Committees, and
the chairman of AZ of them is South
ern Democrat. Democrats from the
North and West, representing 81 differ
ent states, have been allotted only Il
chairmanships, and these are Of a
minor character In other words,
Northern Democrats representing two
thirds of the states in the Union and
even a much greater proportion of the
wealth, industrial, agricul-
tura and business interests, are cut
off with only one-third of the chair
in the House of Representa-
tiveS.
Even the chairmanshps allotted to
the Southern Democrats are very
"cIose corporation" Out of 81 House
chairmanships "a, or over half Of
them, are kept within the Democratic
from nine Southern states.
Never in the history of this republic
has the power of determining national
policies ever been concentrated in the
hands of a few men or so mOnopolized
Dy a handful of states. 1t unpleasantly
reminds one of the manner in which, by
similar methods, the state of Prussia
Is able to dictate to the entire German
Empire, regardless of the will or
wishes or interests of the other states
If Germany.

Internationally and agreed to make
reparation to the nations he had
ravaged
This resolution was endorsed by the
Republican leaders in the Senate, who
insisted there must be no let-up in the
prosecution Of the war abroad or it's
support at home until Germany and
her allies lay down their arms and
say, 1--WE are defeated. What terms
Of peace and reparation do you i'm

1t is absurd to attempt to make it
appear that If Senators Lodge, Nc
Cumber, Pondexter, Nelson and their
Republican colleagues carry the No
vember elections and win control of
the next Senate such an event would
be hailed with joy in Berlin and with
dread by our Allies

VOTE AGAINST KITCHIN.

Kitchin Of North Carolina is chair
man of the Ways and Means Commit
tee. AS such he directs the revenue
measures. He was opposed to the war.
He opposed the draft law. He said it
was a northern war and he was going
to make the North pay for it. He has
carried out his threat SO far. He has
framed tax bills which weigh heavily
on northern industry and capital He
has opposed making cotton paying its
share of the war expense. His idea
Of national finance is to soak the
northern business man and northern
farmer.
You can't keep Kitchin out of Con-
Eress. Democratic North Carolina will
send him back But you can put Kitch-
In and his associates in the minority
by electing Republican Congress-
You can vote against Kitchin by vot-
Ing for the Republican candidate for
Congress in your district.

PLEADS TO REGISTER;
20 YEARS TOO OLD

Kansas City, M0.-One of the
largest manufacturers in the
city stood in line at a registra-
ton booth on registration day.
He had given his name and adj
dress, that of a large family ho-
tel here. The mans eagerness
dispelled all doubts of his age
qualification until the registrar
asked him the date of his birth.
The fact was then brought out
that he was nearly 20 years past
the forty-six-year limit. "You
don't have to register" said the
board member.
'eBut / want to register" re-
piled the man. Il am physically

pcjntment when told that Ire

 Miss Maude Rogers was shopping in Newport Saturday.
 The third German peace note has been received. It is an apparent ac- ceptance of President Wilson's terms, but is ambiguous. It evidently is in tended to secure a negotiated peace, and procure all advantages possible. The Germans are not to be criti- cised for endeavoring to take every advantage, but they must be watched They have still great army and are conducting a masterly retreat. What they cannot win with arms they seek to win with words. We sincerely hope that President Wilson will not allow himself to be deceived. We must have unconditional surrender. Let there be no relaxing.
