1--WE MUST WIN"
By Frank o .Lowden, Governor of
Illinois

By Frank o .Lowden, Governor of
Illinois
There never was a war l n all u
past which meant 50 much to us as
this war does today. 1t is nearer
home than was the great civil war of
more than fifty years ago, because
even if we had lost in that war, we
would have had some kind Of a coun-
try left would have been inglori-
kour, but there would have been some
territory above which u flag would
have foated and upon which we
could have found some spot for a
home.
But if this wal goes against US.
all is lost There will be no room in
all the sky for the Stars and Stripes,
and there will be no room upon the
earth for the home of a fire man.
What if the western front is shat
tered?
Suppose the channel ports are
seized and the English army driven
out of France. What then? We
must win the war1
Even if France is overrun, and If
bher brave army should become de-
feated and scattered into remnants.
What is the answer?
We must win this war, men. It
would be better that Germany should
make a desert of this land than that
the American people should come un-
der the heel of Prussian autocracy.
If today we were to write a law
upon our books providing for uni
versal military training we would
serve notice on Germany that we are
in the war to Stay.
The next thing to do then is to es-
,tablish a permanent war budget, so
that we would know each year how
much taxes we must raise in the next.
With these two things we would
have the money and men to continue
the war indefinitely. I am not in IA
vor of having war any longer than
necessary, but let US be men enough
to fight this thing through now that
we are in it and secure peace that
way rather than put it off TO be
fought by our children.

BY FIFTY VOTES

WASHINGTON, Nov. s-The Senate
will be reorganized by the Republicans.
With forty-nine Republicans now GER
tain all doubt as to the election Of
Senator Fall IN. NJ having been re-
moved. leaders are laying plans for the
readiustment Of committee assignments
and the selection OF hepuDlIcan Senate
officials.
Democratic leaders were reduced yes
terdsy to the claim OF tie in the Sem
ate, having given up all hope Of the
House. But their claim Of a tie in the
Senate depended upon Democratic sue
cess both in Idaho and New Mexico.
Republican leaders still profess TO
have hope Of carrying Idaho for Good
ing which would give them fifty Re-
publican Senators.
The Republicans claim the House OF
Representatives by fifty or more votes.
They have carried 240 seats at least.
Tho returns show that the Democrats
are certain OF but iss. There Will bo

who was elected chairman last spring,
began the work Of organizing at once.
Since he assumed office he has trav-
ersed the United States from coast to
coast getting acquainted with the lead
ers, pointing out the weak spots in the
old organization and carrying the spirit
OF hopefulness' and encouragement TO
all. He established avenues, highways
and pipe lines Of information such as
the Republican organization in the
United states has not enjoyed since
the days Of Clarkson,. Platt and Quay.
and he did Il all on the confidential
easy business fashion Of an expert busi-
ness organizer going out to get ac-
quainted with the trade"
1t was the Will Hays brand OF STRAIT
egy which prepared the party to meet
the stupendous force Of the Presidents
appeal 10 his fellow countrymen to
stand by him through standing by the
Democratic Congressional and Senatorial
candidates.
At the Republican headquarters the
plans Of the Democrats for burst Of
national enthusiasm to follow the
Presidents call for support were known
long in advance Of the actual out
giving from the White House. The
Republican leaders were in panic at the
outlook. They were anxious 10 meet
the onslaught by protective barrage. To
Hays they went with the suggestion
that the artillery be put in play and the
action Of the President anticipated.
Not so with Mr.. Hays. He counselled
silence. He urged the advisers to stand
at attention and await results. Today
leaders who wanted him to act are
thinking their stars that the perspica-
city Of Hays intervened and that the re-
action from the Presidents appeal was
allowed to work as IL did work to the
glory and success OF the Republican
party.
