people he says, seemed TO realize
that in President Wilson lay their only
salvation. They have turned to him
in the belief that he is the one great
political leader who can be trusted &c
make a permanent peace which shall
permit equal economic development. "
He is All others demand that the
Germans shall pay the full penalty Of
their crimes.
What worse than nonsense then is
the Democratic cmpaign cry that the
election Of Republican, Congress
pledged TO Unconditional Surrender
and Protection Of American Industries
and American Workingmen, instead Of
a Democratic Congress ready to assent
to a negotiated peace and free trade,
would bear cheer to Germny. Such
claims would be ludicrous II they were
not so seriously unpatriotic. They are
as unfair, as untrue and as utterly
impossible as they claim that our
Allies would be cast down by the cleo
ton Of such Republican Congress in
the face Of the world-known Repub-
lican record, past and present. and in
the face Of the recent acclaim abroad
of Republican Senator's as reported in
the Paris cable to the Democratic
New York Times on October 3, in
these words:
1.-THE reports Of debates in the
American Senate share first pages
with the news Of the great mill
tary victories on the west front.
Senator's McCumber, Nelson and
Lodge are as highly thought of in
France today as are the Ameri-
can Generals"

shouted Vice President Marshall. And
they have made every effort to make
it so, despite the earnest Republican
insistence that we have no contest as
to anything that touches the war ex-
cept that contest as who best can .
serve who most can give. Republicans
have insisted that with the great war ..
Dad to haul, both political horses .
should be harnessed, each striving to :
see which can pull the harder. Mr..
Wilson's appeal is simply the supreme :

patriotism that inspires this country I
