DEMOCRATS CRITIClsE

THINGS in the War and Navy de-
= partment are in bad tangle, and
red tape is strangling all war prepare
tons.
All experts, both in Europe and here
at home agree that the most vital, the
most pressing need of the hour is ships,
ships.
These wholesale submarine losses
must be replaced or our Allies and our
selves lose, and brutal Germany tri-
umphs. Yet despite this critical need
the shipbuilding officials, the Shipping
Board, have spent eight months prec-
ious time quarrelling, and not single
ship built
Here is what several leading Demo
Gratis have to say about the matters:
Senator Chamberlain, one Of the fore
most Democratic senators in Congress,
and who has always been President
Wilson's champion and the supporter of
his war measures, successfully cham
pioning them when other Democratic
senators were opposing them, has spok-
en- the following severe indictment Of
Secretary Of War Bakers gross mis-
management:
1.-THE military establishment of
America has broken down. THERE'S
no use to be optimistic about a thing
that does not exist. 1t has almost
stopped functioning because of inef-.
ficiency in every bureau and depart
ment"
Let US always keep in mind that sena-
tor Chamberlain better than any man
In Congratulated even than the Sec
rotary of War himself knows exactly
what he is talking about, for IS the
Chairman Of the Senate Army Commit
tee he is in possession Of all the facts.
Hear another Democrats damaging
words, Senator Hitchcock's, Of Nebras-
ka:
'.Baker's sanguine predictions Al

to our ability to ship men to Europe
and supply them when there, are
exaggerations Of the widest sort.
He is so out of touch with the Ship
ping Board that he makes state
ment that is absolutely preposter-
ous."
DENYING the correctness Of the presi-
Dental view that he alone is response
bic for the conduct of the war, Senator
Hitchcock said further:
Hold the president responsible
for the 1900, 600 tons of freightpile
up in New York because OF the
breakdown of transportation-the
muddle and tumble of priority ship
ments: the shortcomings OF the
Ordnance Department, and Quarter
masters Department.; the suffer-
ings of the unnecessarily sick SOL
diers, and nine months delay in
constructing the governments pow
der factory !"
At first, Mr.. Baker boldly denied that
anything was going wrong, and for
facts coolly substituted his own wild
assertions, even to the extent of de-
ceiving the whole country by statements
utterly false, as for example, when he
repeatedly asserted that 100000 OF our
soldiers were already on the firing line
in France, although as fact there are
| but ZIP, 900 all told, which fact, after
severe prodding by the Senate lnvestl
eating Committee, he practically ad
| mitted, only trying to save his face BY
claiming that his figures given out al
| official and true were only Estimates
I-guesses

dates. but since the entrance of a
third candidate conditions were such
that he preferred to Withdraw.

ular former AttorneyGeneral viii be
received with genuine expressions Of
regret from all portions OF the state.
General Gates has long been a power
full factor in the affairs of the st to

tinued in the contest it is certain
that he would have. been most for

ner.
Since he became a candidate Gen
eral Gates has received assurances of
support from thousands Of Democrats
in all sections of the state. His stand
ing at home is attested by the fact
tat the Democrats OF Elount, his ma
tive county, have unanimously in
dorsed his candidacy, while he chal-
lenged Senator Shields to leave the
result of the contest to vote of the
Democrats of Knox County, where
they both reside In all war activities
