Is the fact that sheep require com

The success of the BaIlreich speech
was the more noteworthy because
there had been at least TWO other
speeches OF much more than ordinary
rank before the assembly. The first
of these was Karl Schuyier's key
note address as temporary chair
man. 1t was not an eloquent
speech. AS that adjective is common
ly understood. but it drove straight at
and thru the heart of the subject and
gave TO the delegates an understand
ing of the true relation of the Repub-
lican party 10 the state and TO the
nation such as very few of them had
before realized.

been attending conventions for forty
years declared that ii was the best
convention speech they ever heard
and the rest of us were willing TO ac-

ready TO declare that if Ballreich had
had the opportunity to make that
speech before the vote was taken. an
other name would have been added
to the list of Withdrawals and the
nomination would have gone to the

DANIELS REASONS FOR
 A DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS

Hartford. Conn.,, Oct. 26-"Let mo- tody mistake the purpose of those who are suddenly opposing the presi- dents fourteen demands" Secretary Daniels said tonight in an address tere urging the return of democratic majority in congress. Tt is to try to drive a wedge between the allies, to create differences, and to make one allied nation suspicious of the good faith of it's associates. For nine months all America has stood for Wilson's declarations in his great speech of January 8. Now that the tune has come when American leader ship is to prevail for the good of all the world there are those who wish to destroy their country's proud place. We have professed that we went into this war for unselfish aims and that we wanted nothing for ourselves. That is what Wilson declared, and men of all parties applauded. As the election approaches, are we 10 repudiate | American leadership, turn our backs upon our professions. and introduce | difference and discordance III the council of the ai;;ed nations
 NO matter what the motive" said the secretary, the result is that if we do not stand united for the four teen principles, which our allies have accepted, the agitation for a repudia- ton will make our allies think we are not to be trusted. will make them query whether America was sincere, and will impeach Americas good tfaith On land and sea American and allied leaders have shown a spirit of cooperation that is necessary for vic tory It is as necessary for us to stand firm for Americas demands as it is to fight bravely andt in concert
 with other free peoples.
 "The attack upon Americas decla-
