h"rts to witness the election Of
Truman Y. Ncwbcrry as against
Henry Ford. We may well inquire
OF them Ia explain whether the
Kaiser viii he most pleased by the
election of IA confirmed paclfist
who spent hundreds OF thousands
of dollars To spread his propaganda
"f pnciIism and unprcparcdncSs, or
whether he will ike best Ia see
elected man who l. already In
tho naval service OF his country,
ready 10 give his life II need ne
and whose two sons are likewise
In the army and navy prepared to
make the ultimate sacrifice.
"Ihc republican party says To
tho country-STAND BE THE
WAR. And In this declaration OF
purpose is Included the slogan
which the democratic party seem
To have adoptcd-'stand by the
president duty which rcpubli-
cans have assumed as a matter of
course ns to all that the great Of
flee implies. IL includes far more
than this: II includes, stand by
every public official. high or low,
measured by the thorouRhncss with
which that public official stands
hN tho GNa I,,, INa
mcnt; stand by this country; stand
by our allies: stand by our soldiers
In France; stand by every effort
for war saving and giving in this
country; stand by the cause for
which We fight; stand by the ir-
rcducihlc mlnimums OF peace
terms so splcndidiy cnunciatcd by
Senator Lodge: stand by the war
aims Of this country to vindlcatc
American rights, interests and
honor TO forever end the intolcra-
bic arrogance Of that scientifically
trained brutality, TO forever end
PruSsianism IN tho world and the
oppression which II typlflcs, and
make certain forever the inability
Of mllItarism, German or otherwise,
again to disturb the pence of the
world; stand against an inConclu-
slNc peace, ana stand for Il peace
with victory"
Against the too, too easy bludgeon
of pro German" Mr.. Hays protests
as follows:
IL hold in my hand pamph-
let which is being circulated by
the democratic national commit
tee and signed by an officer of
that committee. IL is In n letter
dated september 1S, 1918, and In
this they say the election OF n re-
publican congress, would be- n
source of comfort and cIation to
the kaiser and his cohorts
against this unpatriotic con-
duct by responsible political or
ganlLatlon l protest, not as n re-
publican, but as an American"
Ncwbcrry no PacIflst.
I'VE seek In vain to understand
the mental gymnastics of those
who can see comfort and clation
TO the kaiser in the election OF
Commander Newbcrry as against
Mr.. Ford. We might inquire with
propricty which would give more
comfort and clation TO the kaiser
and his cohorts"-thC election OF
an announced pacifist for service
In n war senate, the election OF a
Observation-Disclosures into M
tlonal body to aid in the recon-
structlon OF the world, the election
OF man who is said TO have spent
thousands OF dollars on q propa-
ganda for peace at any price after
the slaughter OF innocent men,
women and children by HunnIsh
hounds of he'll, or tho election 10
the same position of commander
of the American navy already Of
fcrlng his service and life. n ncccs-
sary. and the lives OF his two boys
for the country's cause. This would
be Iudlcrous II II wore not so scri-
ously unpatriotic.
"Shnmc on that political party
that would seek TO mako a DO
hucal asset out OF the patriotic
war spirit which now inspires this
nation.
at is an insult to every soldier
I'm France, IL Is AN insult TO every
Republican home, from which 80
very many Of those boys came. IL
