 Wilson Peace President Only
 "The work of reconstruction must not be done by one man, or finally formu- lated according to his academic theories and ideals. The president was not elect ed, when such issues were before the people. His mandate of power was not given in the light of the momentous questions which will soon force them selves for solution. He was elected as a peace president and because he had kept us out of war The American people should, therefore, place in the branch of the government, charged con- additionally with adoption of policies of reconstruction, a congress which will not register the will of one man, but fresh from the people will enact the will of the. people.
 We earnestly deprecate extending the unified uncontrolled leadership of commander in- chief. to the making of a permanent treaty of peace, or to the framing of those measures of recon structlon which must seriously affect the happiness and prosperity of the American people for a century. We urge all Americans, who are Americans first. to vote for a republican con- gress."

 withhold. For what they have done for us, we owe our allies the highest good faith. It is of capital importance that we should now elect a senate wlAch shall be independent enough to inter- pret and enforce the will of the Amer ican people, in the matter of this world peace, and not merely submit to the uncontrolled will of Mr. Wilson.
 Nor can the attitude of the house of representatives be ignored in this peace. Every affirmative obligation binding the United States in that treaty, must be performed by the house as part of the congress. The present dem ocratic majority in the house has been subservient to the will of the president in every respect except where crltlcal issues in the conduct of the war have been involved. The president has not hestated publicly to discipline those of his party who have disagreed with him, and the lesson has had it's effect. A new democratic congress with its old leaders thus chastened, will offer no opposition to his will.
 Not Safe to Trust One Man
 In democratic congress, the Amer ican people will not have that service of an independent, courageous, co-or- dinate branch of the government, to moderate MT. Wilson's uncontrolled will. It is not safe to entrust to one man such unlimited power It is not in accord with the traditions of the re- public. The republicans voted without objection billions to be expended by this administration. Six hundred and forty millions for aviation were given to the executive to build airplanes, without a single limitation as to the manner or method of its expenditure. A senate committee has deplored the waste and failure in the use of that money. The l debts which have been created by this war. the people will be paying to the l third and fourth generation.
