Despite partisan criticism and antagonism by
members of the minority party the diplomacy of
President Wilson is rapidly bringing the enemies of
humanity to terms and any minute now may bring
the welcome news that the last has ncondition-
ally surrendered. Allied nations have been content
to leave all diplomatic questions involved to Presi-
dent Wilson, and no criticism has been directed by
them toward him in consequence of his acts enun-
Citations. It has remained for Roosevelt, Lodge and
Poindexter to do that Even going SO far to de-
nand his impeachment and calling his mastery logic
"mischievious note" 1t is sad commentary on the
Americanism of these men, but the partisan we will
always have with us, and he will sing his little song,
regardless of its consequences.
But it is certainty that the American people will
pay no attention to this partisan wall of despair but
will sustain the president by electing men known to
be in sympathy with him, even going on down the
line on the whole Democratic ticket. 1t is partcu-
larly important that progressive congressional and
legislative tickets be successful this election for there
will be much for them to accomplish in the re-
construction period that may be successfully done
only along progressive lines. Every man and woman
in full sympathy with President Wilson and his poll
cies should not overlook this opportunity to make
known their position and to vote their convictions.
