The United States Demands
an Unconditional Surrender.
THE COUNTRY REsENTs II.

Since President Wilson and his little satellite, Ton
Marshall, plunged the country into politics by harrangu
ing the plebescite to vote against the republican candi
dates for congress on the ground that if a republican
house and senate were elected. Germany might think the
country was not supporting the war. the republican party
has been released from the silence which it had patri
otically enyeloped itself, when the president adjourned
politics last summer Mr. Wilson in effect says that if
a republican congress is elected Germany might think
the L. S. had r%epudiated the war.
WHO GIVES a DAM H THINKS,
NOW OR TIME? This country is going to fight
Germany until the cows come home, She is going TO
help give Germany the most degrading and humiiating
defeat ever given a nation, and if the republicans dom
mate congress they will hurry along the licking and
speed things up so fast Germany's cork will be blown
out. There is not the slightest danger that if a repub1i-
can congress is elected next week but what it viii move
heaven and earth to give the kaiser and his gang the all
hredest licking q crowd of murderers. pirates and cut
threats ever got since Adam piled out of the Garden of
Eden
PRESIDENT WILSON IS FORCED TO ADMIT
THAT THE REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS HAVE
BEEN PRO-WAR. What more does he want. He can lay
the hattening JUNCTION to his soul that if the republican
party was in power it couldn't be more pro-war than it has
been. All the ~epubhcan party needed was power and
when the Hun squealed for peace, the republican party
WOULD HAVE SLAMMED II DOOR IN HIS FACE
instead of putting on a notewriting contest with him
This is not President Wilson's personal war. even if he
has tried to make it so. 1t is not a democratic war. The
republicans are giving their sons and their dollars and
their time to whip Germany to a standstill. The Al
mighty knows it is a big enough war TO require the help
Of every man, woman and child in this country to wage
it successfully. If the republicans had sulked in their
tents and permitted MI. Wilson and his democratic party
to wage it alone, it doesn't require much stretching OF
the imagination TO figure out where the world would
have been today. THE HUN WOULD HAVE BEEN
SHOOTING HE'LL INTO THIS LONG BE
FORE NOW.
The people of this country must not forget one thing.
that war is not the great problem that confronts the
world now. The by far most important PROBLEM HAT
THIS \ HAS TO WRESTLE WITH is PEACE.
The United States does not want a democratic peace
any more than it does a republican peace. It must have
a peace for all the people President Wilson in his amaz-
ing message to the people last Friday evidently wants a
democratic peace. What is a democratic peace? THERE
is NO MYSTERY ABOUT 1T. 1t is a free trade peace
A free trade peace is a peace that viii let down the bars
to the pauper labor of Europe and the whole world.
If the workers of the Calumet region want TO jeop-
ardize their bread and butter and comforts and pleas
ures and be forced into wage competition with
POVERTY-STRICKEN ORDES OF AFTER
THIS WAR IS OVER let them vote for the democrats
and free trade next week. If they want the south to get
all the benefits of this war and the north to pay the bills
tel them go ahead and vote for a democratic house as
a sob in his throat begs them to do If they want their
boys when they come home crippled and mutlated and
gassed and shellshocked TO ACCEPT THE STARvA-
TON AGES OF FREE ID LET THEM BLINDIY
FOLLOW Mr.. WILSON'S DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND
