PRESIDENT ANSWERS
WITH THEIR WORDS
Tells Republican Critics That
He Has Only Followed In
Their Footsteps.

Washington, Oct. 49, Secretary Tu.
multy tonight made public letter he
has written at President Wilson IS di.
rection to the Cuyahoga county com
mittee at Cleveland, Ohio, in which he
replies to protests against President
Wilson Is appeal to the country to re.
| turn a democratic congress by recalling
quotations from utterances by Colonel
Roosevelt, former President Harrison,
Senators Lodge and Penrose and form
er Senator Foraker in the campaign of
1898, at the close Of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war.
The Cuyahoga committee telegraphed d
the White House taking issue with the
president Is statement. Secretary Tu-
multy, writing at the president IS direc-
tion, simply commended the statements
he quoted.
The first quotation was from Colonel
Roosevelt, identified as republican can
didate for governor of New York in
1898. II said:
Remember that, whether you will OF
not, your votes this year will be
viewed by the nations Of Europe from
one standpoint only. They will draw
no fine distinctions. A refusal to sus
tain the president this year will, in
their eyes, be read as refusal to sus-
tain the war and to sustain the effort,
Of our peace commission to secure tho
fruits Of war. Such a refusal may NOT
inconceivably bring about rupture Of
the peace negotiations. 1t win give
heart to our defeated antagonists; II
will make possible the interference oi
those doubtful neutral nations who In
this struggle have wished us illl
~ You could not get the benefits oi
the victories Of Grant and Sherman
only by rejecting Lincoln and we will
gain less than we ought from the wal
/ If the democrats score a telling victory
at these elections. "
The one from former President Har.
rison, pleading for the election Of re-
publican congress says:
Ii the word goes forth that the peo-
pie Of the United States are standing
soIidly behind the president, the task
Of the peace commissioners will be easy,
but if there is break in the ranks
if the democratic score a telling victory,
If democratic senators, congressmen
and governors are elected--Spain win

WILSON'S DECLARATION
FOR FREEDOM OF SEAS
NOT FREE TRADE EDlcT
President Says Republican
Politicians Purposely Mis-
represent His Views.

Washington, Oct. 2s.-Denouncing as
lamentable'1 alleged republican at.
tempts to bend to partisan service
the momentous issues of this solemn
hour President Wilson today ex-
planned that article three of his peace
formula does not mean a policy OF
free trade.
Responding to letter of inquiry
from Senator Simmons, who asked
what Interpretation must be placed on
the peace article in question, "remoy-
al OF. all economic barrier and the es-
tablishment Of equality Of trade con
ditions among nations, etc the pres.
ident said he meant merely that
there should be discrimination against
some nations that did not apply to 9th
ers. Weapons of economic discipline,
he said, should be left to the league Of
nations.
His letter follows in part:
81, of course mean to suggest no re-
striction upon the free determination
by any nation of its own economic
qualities. but only that, whatever tar
iff any nation might deem necessary
for its own economic service, be that
tariff high or low, it SHOULD apply
equally to all foreign nations, in other
words, that there should be.no discrim-
nation against some nations that did
not apply to others. This leaves every
nation free to determine fer itself its
own internal qualities and limits only
its right TO compound these qualities
Of hostile discrimination between one
nation and another. Weapons OF eco.
nomic discipline and punishment should
be left 10 the joint action Of all ma.
tions for the purpose Of Furnishing
those who will not submit to general
program Of justice and equality.
.The experiments of the past among
nations have taught US that the at
tempt by one nation to punish another
BY exclusive and discriminatory trade
agreements has been a political breed
or of that kind of antagonism which
oftentimes results in war and if a
permanent peace is TO be established
among nations every obstacle that has
stood in the way Of international TREND
ship should be cast aside.
ssIt was with that fundamental pur-
pose in mind that ] announced this
principle in my address Of January s.
To pervert this great principle for
partisan purposes and to inject the
bogey Of free trade which is not inyolv
eli at all. is to attempt to divert the
mind of the nation from the broad and
humane principle Of durable peace
