Republican Leaders Assert That Republican Party Stands for Nothing Short of Uncondi-
 tional Su render

1 nO' be excluded from that great t.lsk.
 'Ths is not the presidents person. al war.
 This is not the war of congress. Not of the Parties.
 "lt is not the war of the Demo- cratic or the Republican party.
 "It is the war of the American people.
 "It is more.
 Tt is the war of the United States, of the allied powers, of the civilized world, against the lDarbarism of Ger l many.
 Republicans Bear Share.
 In this great burden and responsi- bility the Republican party repre- senting more than half the ctizen- ship of the country, demands it's rightful share.
 ''Ii the Republican party is entrust- ed with power in either or both houses they will do everything pos ,sI5'c to drive forward the war and hasten the day of victory
 The Plain Truth.
 The president speaks of the ne- cessity of telling the plain truth.
 That the Republican party in con- rrol of congress would do, for they have no friends to shield. And they will do more. They will give all the money to the last dollar necessary to sustain cur armies and our fleet, but they i will check the waste now going on of the money given by the most gen. erous people on the face of the earth. "The president speaks of the ef- fleets of the election abroad
 He says they understand the meaning of elections.
 They do, and they will know that if the Republicans have a majority l in congress, the war will be pressed 1 with greater Nigor tAln ever be- fore
 They are quite aware that the N'ovier of sthe senate is equal to that of the president in the consu- nation of peace by treaty. Stands For M5tOriOus Peace. "They will know that the Repub- l'can party stands for victorious DCace and the overthrow of Prussian ni,itarism.
 That knowledge will not depress tie spirit of our allies or encourage the government of Germany. Leave It to Foch.
 The Republican party believes that the question of surrender should be left to Marshal Foch, the the gen erals and to the armies in the field. When they report that Germany has laid won her arms the United States and the allies should then inn Iose their terms.
 "Will that knowledge cause dejec- tior to those who are fighting for Us: All the world knows that the Republican party is opposed to ne sClations and discussion carried or ln diplomatic notes addressed to the German government.
 Unconditional Surrender.
 "The Republican party stands for Nncondirional surrender There is no Republican creed so short that there is not room in it for those two words.'

 Teddy Reserves Statement For
 Future.
 Oyster Bay, N. Y., Oct. 25.-Com- menting tonight on President Will son's appeal to the people to return a Democratic congress in the Novem- Der elections if they approve of hls course, Col Theodore Roosevelt said: "The Presidents statement is an announcement that he is partisan leader, first the President of all the people second. :. "lt is, of course the repudiation of one of his former statementsfi to the effect that politics was adjourned-a statement which, of course, he has already repudiated by his action.
 'I have no comment just at this moment, but I will deal with the mat ter in a speech after have had time to read the document which all good Americans will regard as the most lamentable appeal to politics ever made by a President during a great wkar wrich has been. heartily sup rorted by all good citizens without regard to party but which so far as there has been party differences at all has been most heartily supported by his political opponents than by his political friends" IL xIO
