PARTISANSHIP ABOVE PATRIOTISM

Progress of the German drive is awakening the country to the failure o.

moral lethargy and physical unpeparedness Paefist administration Of the
warkmaking departments Of Our government, and failure to grasp the ser.
ousncg of the situation in time to make "a with sufficient vgr during
che first year we we're in il. are both ehargealle to the democratic panty
Oregon Voter.
The biggest German drive in this country is being
made by men like the editor of the Voter whose patriotism
is subscrvient to their partisanship. They are for the
republican party first and all the time and for the gov
eminent only when it is administered by republicans.
The editor of the Voter knows, if he knows anything
at all, that it is the fault of no political party that this
country was not prepared for war. Our people are not a
war like people and the republican party, in power three
fourths Of the time since the civil war begun ip-1860, built
up neither army nor navy. The democratic party did no
better in its short periods of power except that Secretary
VIM. C. Whitney, under President Cleveland, laid
the real foundation for our present effective ocean fight
ing machine, brought to perfection by Secretary Daniels
upon whom the editor of the Voter and others of his ik
heaped all manner of ridicule and abuse, misrepresenting
him and seeking to discredit his work, in the same man.
ner they are seeking to undermine President Wilson at
the present time.
Two years before war with Germany was declared,
President Wilson toured the country as far west as
Kansas City speaking on the necessity of Preparedness
for War" What did the Voter and other republican
papers say then? that the president was playing politics
of course, and urged the people to pay no attention to his
warnings--and no attention was paid to it!
The editor of the Voter knows the facts in the case but
he prefers to play party politics instead of playing his
part as a real American citizen. And he is helping to-
smash the republican party to smithereens because the
people are back of the government in this as every other
great crisis and the DIRECTORS and critics will be swept
aside or ridden rough-shOd over as war conditions become
more pronounced with the increasing gravity of the
situation.

That was good advice minority leader Mann gave his
colleagues yesterday when leaving for home on account
of his health. One bit of his advice was: "Do not con-
denim the prosecution of the war too hastily, because
legislative mistakes as well as executive have been made. !"
He added: "The American people do not need to be mis-
informed by over-optimism to keep up the determination
\ win the war;" He might have added that they do not
need to have the facts of losses or defeat kept from them
TO keep them from weakening in their determination to
carry the war to a successful conclusion.
