Washington, May 21.---The elimina :
ton entirely of party, lines to make
certain that only loyal Americans will
be sent to, congress this fall is the sug-
gestion that has been laid before Con-
gresham Frank p. Woods, chairman
Of the republican congressional COM
mittee, and Congressman Scott Ferris
chairman of the democratic con-
gressional committee, by the National
Unity League. 1t is expected that the
appeal Of the league, numbered among
whom are governors Of states. promi-
nent clergymen, professional men and
former legislators, will be needed by
the two major parties, who now are
considering ways of cooperating by
which only candidates whose Ameri :
canism is 100 per GENT will be placed
in nomination at the spring primaries.
The suggestion of the league members
is that both parties. in districts where
socialists, paciflsts or anti-war agita-
tors or sympathizers seem to have
sufficient strength to nominate and
elect legislator whose efforts would
not be directed toward winning the
war for victory" combine in nominal
ing either republican or a democrat,
to whose support both major parties
could swing, thus assuring the success
of the win the war candidate. One OF
the most pronounced advocates of this
scheme Of combining the strength OF
the two major parties is former Sena-
tor Eliha Root, who has written
letter to Chairman Woods calling on
the Iowa legislator to challenge the
democratic loyalists to enter the work
of saving the government from paci-
fists by combining with the republican
voters in every district where there Is
the least likelihood Of success for anti
war advocates.
