BRANDS THEM AS UNSAFE AND
UNFIT TO HOLD SEAT IN
CONGRESS.
Wilson Graves All Power-Doesn't
Want Any Branch of Government
to Share Place With Him.
To Republicans.

To Republicans.
President Wilson has questioned
the motives and fidelity OF your rep
resentatives in Congress. He has
thereby impugned their loyalty and
denied their patriotism. His challenge
is to you who elected those represen-
tatives. You owe it to them, to the
honor of your great party and to your
own self respect to meet as Republ1-
cans. but as Americans. |, as your
chairman, call upon you to do it.
Mr.. Wilson accords the Republicans
no credit whatever for having sup
ported the war measures" proposed
by his administration, although they
have done so with greater unanimity
than the members of his own party.
Despite that fact, he accuses them OF
having tried to usurp his proper func-
tions. That charge, as Mr.. Tart de-
clares in carefully measured words, is
not true. At no time and in no way
have they tried to take control OF the
war out of his hands. The President
knows that The country knows It,
A more ungracious, more unjust,
more wanton, mode mendacious accu-
sation was never made by the most
reckless stump orator, much less by
President of the United States Tor
partisan purposes. 1t is an insult, not
only to every loyal Republican in Con-
gress. but to every loyal Republican
&c ha raCant-
ment which rightfully and surely will
find expression at the polls.
Mr.. Wilson grudgingly admits that
the Republicans have been ''pro-war.
Then why does he demand their de-
feat? Because they are still pro-war?
Hardly that No. 1t is because they
are for peace through, not without,
victory; because they do not believe
lasting peace can be obtained through
negotiation; because they consider
that "JJ. S. stands for Unconditional
Surrender as well as for the United
States and Uncle SAM" The Demo-
cratic Congress does not. Mr.. Wilson
does not. There is the issue clear as
the MONDAY sun. The country Will
decide.
Mr. Wilson wants only rubber
stamps, his rubber stamps, in Con-
gress. He says so. No one knows II
better than Democratic congressman.
He calls for the defeat of pro-war Re
publicans and the election of anti-war
Democrats. He, as the executive, Is
no longer satisfied to be one branch
of the government as provided by the
constitution. Republican congressman
must be defeated and Democratic con-
gressmen must, as they would, yleld
in everything. That is evidently MS
idea-the idea of an autocrat calling
himself the servant but bidding LOT
the mastery of this great free people
Republicans in Congress nave
seemed to him good enough when
they assented, as they did assent with
highest patriotism and sometimes
against their best Judgment, to MS
proposals. Republicans at home have
seemed to him good enough to seno
fully a million of their sons into pat
lie to furnish at least half OF the army
and far more than half of the money
for the winning of the war, but they
are not considered good enough TO

oliver H.. shoup, as the Republican
candidate for governor, is superior in
character, in efficiency, in fitness, and
in every way to the opposition candI-
date. He has made success in every
undertaking. His competitor has been
a failure in almost every undertaking.
There is no comparison in the private
and public characters of these men
only a strong contrast.

 In a review emphasizing the pres ent importance of Pan American com merce but cautioning against over further points out the following inter- esting and surprising figures as con- firming the conclusion just stated: United States exports to Latin Amer ica grew from approximately $780, O0O,0 in 1913-14 to $72O, 900, 900 in 1917-18, or 257 per cent; United States imports from Latin America in creased from 470,000,0 900 to S1,03O,- 100000, or 214 per cent; the grand to- tai of exports and imports advanced from $750,0O0,0O to 1,750, 100000, or 235 per cent.
 The reports for individual countries are equally impressive.

 These figures emphasize the vast importance and possibilities of Pan American commerce, but they must not encourage false hopes as to United States trade of the future. This ex- ceptional growth is due largely to, first, the supplauting. by the United

The Vice president who was aroused from sleep by Mrs. Marshall, made his way with her, the baby and nurse down three flights of stairs.
 After installing his family in a writing room, the vice. president wearing a bath robe, house slippers and a black felt hat and enjoying an unexpectedly early morning cigar, shook hands with a number of his friends in the lobby.
 The fire originated in a pantry off the palm room, but was checked be- fore 1t had spread far. Most of the damage was to furniture and drapery caused by smoke and water.

WILL NOT TAKE
 FOOD CANNED BY THE HOUSEWIVES
Silly German Propaganda Lio is Again Denied By
 Food Administrator.

.Esartford Sept. z4-The repeated reports that the government might seize and coniscate some or all of the home canning held by housewives has exasperated Connecticut's Federal Food Administrator, Robert Scoville. to the point that he has again un- eduivocally denied this silly product of German propaganda and has Issued an open letter to the housewives of Connecticut At last weeks meeting at the Capitol, of Connecticut's Local Food Directors and Home Economics Workers MT. Scoville was asked to issue an official denial of the latest pro-German canard which claimed that very soon government inspectors would raid ArHeEiean homes and take over one-third of all home canning discovered.
 There is nothing to this cheap ru- nor, according to MT. Scovllle's de- nial, which is as follows:
 ITO All Connecticut Housewives:-
 Tn view of the revival of an un- traceable rumor which spread through many towns in Connecticut and other states last winter, have been asked at this time to issue another denial of this apparent pro-German propa- Sanda claim that the government in .tSnds to seize any part of the home canning done by our patriotic house. wives. It would seem unnecessary to deny this palpable falsehood, were 1t not for the fact that the latest yer sion is that the government would confiscate one-third of all home can ming discovered. We have urged housewives to can as much as they could and have endeavored to make available the necessary sugar for legi- innate canning. It Is annoying to find our patriotic people constantly subjected to spacious pro-German pro- paganda, which, of course, we will of ficially repudate as frequently as it seems necessary.

An Announcement Regarding Christmas Shopping

At this early day we wish to say little in regard to Christmas buying and giving Along with other mercantile houses, The D. M. Read Company is in receipt of certain orders hz1m the government The whole subject of Christ mas shopping has been thoroughly considered by members of the Council of National De- fense, and definite program has been agreed upon for the guidance alike of manufacturers, merchants and the buying public. This has been done because of war conditions, which de- mand the conserving of finances and personal energy, to say nothing of transportation.
 It is desired and expected the giving at Christmas this year will be confined to useful articles, saving only in the case of children. It is felt that much relief will be afforded the railroads if Christmas shopping will begin early and extend through the months of Octo- Der, November and December. This will help post-ofice employees and the delivery service, consequently early buying is urged.
 We have no doubt that every one will CO., operate in carrying out these suggested meas ures. The government looks to organized bus mess bodies of every nature throughout the country to join in this movement This is the only way to permit the continuance of holiday business in something like the regular form and by such methods as are consistent with the national welfare.
