MAKES STIRRING PoLsTl-
CAL ADDRESS

INDIANAPOLIS, May % Declaring
that President Wilson is the most as
tute leader the democratic party has
ever had, United States Senator Har-
ry New, addressing the Indiana state
republican convention today as perma-
nent chairman, asserted that he also
was the most uncompromising in his
partisanship of any man who had oc
CUPID the White House since the
days of Andrew Jackson
He continued: "The President is
partisan in everything he does and
thinks. and is as adroit as he is per
sisent 1t is evidentA that the slogan
tor his party in the campaign before
us will be to stand by the president
and the attendant argument will be
that if one is a patriot and true Amer
lean, he must elect candidates of the
presidents party in order that the
president may have the support of
congress, or if one fails to support
those candidates he votes the discred-
it of the president and his administra-
ton and gives aid and comfort to the
enemy in arms"
He declared: Our message to the
president is: Go ahead; we are with
you. heart and soul in everything hav
ing to do with the war. but make no
mistake We abate no particle of our
devotion to the party of our choice and
reassert our principles.
